    Just looking at the times of the coverage this afternoon. The talk kicks off at 1245. I'm considering heading up to the local bottle store and getting some beer in prior.

    Already lit the BBQ, pork belly is marinaded, beer's in the fridge, pole dancers booked for 5pm and even been scolded for slacking off my chores. I expected that a bit later when I have my rubber legs on.

    What a thoroughly entertaining afternoon. Philip Island does produce great racing.

    I suspect you got low alcohol beverages. I chewed a cushion to bits, the pork belly is like a roof tile.

    I'm watching the post race press conference, fascinating how the podium riders are talking.

    K'in wow.

    Wicked race! poor jack though... I see that Suzuki has got some fair oomph - even passed Jack's Ducati down that long straight.
    not long to the next one...

    Anyone counted how many overtakes? Even by PI standards, it looked like a lot.

    It's good to have PI and M Marquez back!

    But naming a corner after someone who's only won a Moto3 race there?

    Well, that was a cracker - first 7 covered by .9sec!
    Good to see Marquez is almost back to form, Rins was flying and Team 46 gets stronger every race...

    Huge race in Motogp, one of the best of all time perhaps? All tracks should be like PI.

    I expected Suzuki to be strong, but that strong? Why the fuck are they pulling out with 2 of the best riders signed? Madness... Either way glad to see a Ducati bested, I've decided I love Bagniaia but don't like his manufacturer. Hoping Aprillia rediscover some form but they're really up against it, 2 bikes data on tracks they haven't been to on that bike vs 8 bikes data on a tracks Ducati have been to working together to propel Bags to the front. This is why Ducati always find time over the weekend.

    Poor old Fabio, he's giving it his all but unfortunately you can't just overcome that much of an advantage by sheer bravery.
    TBH if Ducati had stuck with the GP21 slightly tweaked for Jack and Bags this year I doubt we'd even be seeing him as a contender as it was the early season that he was able to hammer out an advantage whilst they got to grips with the GP22. Here's hoping next years bike is one that both he and Franco can work with and that they've got all the kings horses in its donk.

    Alex Marquez? Dickhead

    Over to the rookies, they say that Phillip Island is a real riders track that equalises the machinery. Then why is it that the top 2 rookies behind Bez are not getting a ride next year, and the 2 that finished behind them are? Both Darryn Binder and Remy Gardner earned another crack over the likes of Raul Fernandez and Fabio De-Jan-Antonio. Wrong passport I guess and they already have their token Aussie and Saffa on the grid.

    If the latter two are Spanish there wouldn't seem to be a passport problem. Despite Valentino Rossi's best efforts with his academy, there's no shortage of Spanish riders.

    I stumbled upon this from Kevin Cameron - its a year old so some may have seen it already. Pretty interesting as always particularly after the first 10 or 12 minutes. covers plenty from racing H1R's to some of the tech used recently in Moto Gp. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCmNX7fIajE

    From the early 70's until the ceased publication I purchased "Cycle" magazine on a regular basis - Kevin Camerons articles were always the first thing devoured. Not only because he built a race bike based on a Kawasaki F9 350 and I had one, but mainly he has a superb way of writing about very technical topics without dumbing down. He continued to write for Cycle World but it seemed they would only allow him one page, not enough to go into things is the same depth as the Cycle articles.
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.
