    Hopefully DORNA learn from this and tidy their wording up.

    At the end of the day that decision possibly makes little difference, his season is pretty stuffed at this time, and the Honda has major Issues as well
    Another injury with the "break it again and you're finished" headline MUST be affecting MM as well, especially riding a bike that suddenly throws you off.
    Interesting Honda are going to Kalex?? I wonder how much info on the chassis they are getting? Not enough to copy it (if it works) I would imagine.

    Rossi might be dancing a happy dance thinking his 9 tittles record is looking a little more secure as time goes on

    ON the Rossi note, VR46 riders must be shitting that Rossi might Drag them over to the Yamaha (as the rumor mill has it).

    Interesting stuff
    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    MM's issue seems to be that the break is close to the heel of his palm, and it can separate pretty easily just from the pressure of holding the bars - at least until it is healed properly.

    Yeah, I wouldnt want to be goimg to Yamahahahahaha

    It was the original fuckup by the Stewards that decided it. They didn't consider that he might be injured enough to miss Argentina then when asked gave a verbal declaration that the penalty only applied to Argentina.
    After that the alteration to make him serve it at his next race was never going to be upheld.

    It's more a case of Stewards on the spot not thinking things through than the regs needing changing or pointing fingers at Honda management or Dorna.

    The decision document is on line in several places. Makes interesting reading. Looks like at one point the FIM tried to change the rules retroactively.

    And No I don't like it at all. But we'll just have to wait for Karma to catch up with him.

    Yeah, MM got off on a technicality basically. I feel this may blow up in Hondas face long term fighting it like they did. MM has been accused of having a blanket of invisibility when it comes to past transgressions.

    You can bet the judiciary will be wanting to slap any penalty they can on MM from here on in.

    So watching MM it looks like the Kalex chassis has helped with the rear wheel spinning up, he was excellent out of the corners on the throttle

    These sprint races are a real bonus for us imho ... so tonight as is often the case i'm hoping jack will do the business - but quietly expecting him to cartwheel it into the bushes, in which case it'll be Go Brad!!

    Enjoyed that but feel sorry for a particular rider who did a great job and didn't end up with the appropriate reward.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    If you mean the one who clearly had the slower bike but by sheer willpower and freakish riding ability who pretty much slid the bike around the track for 20 odd laps, me too.

    Also sucks for the initial leader too.. some epic battles going on there.
