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!!

True that - there has been quite a bit of discussion about Ducati letting him go because of this propensity to fall inconveniently"To Finish First, First you must Finish"

Just to point up the cut-throat nature of the MotGP world, I see a Moto3 rider has lost his contract for being too heavy.
He's 2kg heavier than his teammate. And 4cm shorter.
Many years back I remember listening to the lamentations of a 6ft 4in heavily muscled bucket rider.
"What can I do ?"

The question I would ask is, is was he lapping faster than his teammate.

MM commented in his monthly column in BRM (our MNZ honcho, who did you think I meant?) That they should replace the 250s with 450s so it doesn't rule out slightly bigger kids, and also not be such a 3x cc 3x cylinder jump to moto2. He actually makes a good point. You could raise the min age and they stay longer in domestic series I'd guess.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

I tend to agree. But when you look at history, the current Moto3's make roughly the same power and lap faster than the "classic" 500 singles which were the mainstay of GP racing for decades.
Where do you draw the line for a starting level formula ?

Don't know. Probably unlikely. But he may also have been light on sponsors money too.
It was on Crash.net with the official reason being weight. But the invisible bit is of course money.

MM: Today it felt like I won the race being on the podium with my brother... today i had a cocktail from my doctor, tonight with my brother I have a different kind of cocktail!
PB: I have now more experience, 2 years ago I needed many laps to warm the right side, now I understand why, and I do it.

He's obviously never ridden at Levels. 540 degrees to the left between right turns.

Never understood a preference for corner direction. In nzwe drive on the left, so our lefts are tighter than our rights.
But a short time of racing sorted that to insignificance..a lot of these guy have never ridden on the road
Apparently clockwise ccts are more common, but so what?

Greymouth is nearly all rights with just one true left. As well as heating one side of the tire more than the other resulting in many crashes including high sides on the left hand bend past the police station. the rights are for some reason I find are always harder than the lefts.
I have no idea why.
Although our streets are very heavily cambered and this changes over the crown. Which doesn't help. but this is the same left or right.
the chicane leading up to the start finish is made to slow the riders down.
The circuit was drawn up as an anticlockwise circuit but was deemed to be potentially to fast by the then ACU if ran in that direction.
the council generally add sand to the white lines, as its been known to occasionally rain.

This was discussed with Sidecar Bob. Your leftwards bias we decided was the natural result of growing up in a labour stronghold.
Mine is genetic. The old man was a professional speedway rider. One eyed too - the left.
