    Yeah, but did he go on to win?

    Wings are not so new by the looks ? Phil Read MV . 1970's ??

    You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
    If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..

    I finally caught up with Missno 1 tonight. What a crazy race, you do wonder sometimes why things happen like that. It certainly meant a lot to Gresini, I can't imagine what they went through after what happened to Fausto.

    I'll be at PI in 4 weeks. It should be quite a race.

    I went 6 times in 2 stroke era, would be nice to return. Or Malaysia perhaps if possible.

    So crazy. They race. Can't even leave the stuff there. It all gets packed down as normal, moved to a big carpark then brought back again this week. Bicycle event or something in between. Odd.

    I normally watch the Dorna feed for race weekends, but FP1 started on ThreeNow at a reasonable hour on Friday night, so I settled in to watch. But for those of you watch it on 3, how do you put up with the TNT commentary? Apart from noticing that only a few bikes came out at the start, they barely discussed practice at all.

    I use motomundo.net and use BRAVE browser to prevent ads/popups. They have the dorna and TNT optionts to choose from.

    Interesting sprint, the 24 ducs are a second faster per lap than MM on his 23 this week. Next was Acosta. I guess Pecco and Martin got some upgrades, maybe they dont want MM to upset the applecart too much this year.

    Was a great sprint race!
    This may of been posted before, apologies if so. I really appreciate the coding that went into this page. the webpage opens up to the motogp calendar, with the current event open showing all the times they start - in nz time - nice!

    Well that was a race of much interest.

    Pecco shows once again that if he is out in front with clear air he's ok - there was like 3 laps at quali speeds, but once he has to tussle with the others he's pretty shit.

    Enea was wicked fast, and a slightly dodgy pass at the end.

    MM gets, as he said, a gift. "We're going to Asia, lets see what happens there", he said

    A couple of thoughts I have had recently.
    1. Pecco and Martin are pretty inconsistent. Pecco has had 4 DNF's, MM when he won his last championship had 1 - and was top 2 in every single race.
    2. Pecco won a championship against a dying Yamaha.
    3. Martin chooses to settle when he realises he cant do it - he's learned a lesson recently that's why he is in front. His inconsistency is why he didnt get the factory bike
    4. If Ducati is this dominant next year, Pecco isnt going to win the championship imho. Not unless he learns to settle, he's not an alien. MM will push him and he'll fall off.
    5. All those riders are fast, but is Pecco fast(er) because of the bike and its "settings", or because of him? Martin appears to be generally quick regardless, like a more consistent Vinales. As in, Martin will be quick on any bike, but not to alien level, where I think you put Pecco on a KTM and he'll just be like everyone else.

    I am likely wrong but these things cross my mind while listening to various pod casts.

    I unsubscribe before the race so I don't see spoilers but watched on Monday this week..was expecting more furious debate.
    Not being investigated and jm team have responded by saying ok, if that is legal then implies that they can do the same.

    Ok, lines are drawn.

    The times;
    This all goes along with what Oxley was saying. The rear tyre is so good the GP24 can capitalise on it. But it is risky on losing the front. As Perfect Pecco has experienced quite a few times.
    Bearing in mind that only a few on 24s are good enough to step out on that ledge. And Pecco is one of them.

    New front tyre could, should, make other bikes feature again.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.
