    Actually I listened to part 1 of the Crafer interview on Rustys Garage podcast. Looking forward to part 2 as I didn't know about his Hard Enduro exploits till recently. Respect there.

    it seems I have until the end of the month to shell out for the Dorna deal.

    It has been said that WSBK fans support their brand, GP fans support a rider. I'll try GPs this year without being a fan of anybody in particular. We'll see...

    Interesting note from the Crash podcast today. According to MM's ohlins and michelin techs, MM's feedback when he comes back to the pits matches the telemetry almost exactly. They both considered this surprising as riders of his ability tend to counter any issues with their ability and dont often know what is going on development wise.

    Fascinating stuff.

    Hey guys about to sign up to catch this test session.

    The added timing pass is another 17 bucks (not an Issue) but is it worth having, or is it just a distraction from the race??
    I usually cast from my phone as the bedroom TV is not smart enough and the smart TV is a pain much easier to just use the chromecast.
    I am guessing I'd have to have my laptop with me as another screen for all the timing stuff?
    I am thinking the best way would be to cast the race from the phone to the chromecast and have my Surface for the live timing.

    I'd hate to be fiddling with the timing pass screen and miss a pass or accident.
    Just hoping to tap into another KB member who has been there done that.

    Portimao test is over. Spark Sport has highlights and After the Flag.

    Ducati still fastest, but Yamaha were 3rd on day 2.

    Honda was doing a lot of testing, plus Mir and Rins are still learning the bike. So don't read too much into their times or top speed.

    Rins was quite happy as the bike wasn't as bad as he expected!

    MM did 336 which was right up there, but he had given up testing and was doing race practice. He reckons 5-10 is all he can expect. But he's the only real alien in the field, so.. who knows.

    I feel its going to be a ducati wrought this year. I wanna see people doing stuff and everyone goes HTF did they do that? Not a tramline of ducati's with a winner decided by the team or who ever can make their tires last best. This could be boring.

    Bastianini on a factory Ducati should be well worth watching. Marquez will find something, and Quartararo has the engine Yamaha should have made last season. No, it won't be boring!

    So Honda are going to get Kalex to build them a chassis. Good way to get fresh ideas and a prototype without distracting the race team during the season IMO.

    Pretty apparent that left to their own ideas Honda simply will not progress.

    Spark are closing on 1st of July so you won't get a full season from them only the first eight race meetings.

    “We are communicating to our Spark Sport customers today to thank them for their support, to explain the change, and to reassure them that they can continue to access Spark Sport as they normally do until 1 July 2023.

    I cut my Spark as soon as I heard this to save my monthly sub up for MotoGP Sub which means I am $100 or so ahead. I don't think Sky NZ has MotoGP.

    MotoGP sub is $139 Euro or $240 NZD for full cover incl all race meetings, Riders conferences and after the flag.
