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.

Funny.
That last video was for you, its got Kevn on the "HONDOG"

Never thought much of that commentator. Got pretty well everything wrong about the "Australian visitor."

The latest Oxley Bom podcast has an extensive interview with Livio Suppo. I read years ago that we are lucky there is sport, otherwise people like Suppo and Puig would be trying to conquer the world.

Sad we wont hear from him, but I have a feeling it will be great for the stewards

Thats a pity.I been following Motogp for many many years(since about 76) Simon gave hints and insights and comments that I had never heard before. Seven Years! His first few GPs were a lot less fluent than he is now!

Shame for the viewers.

Hey, I'd like to go watch all the rounds live and I'd like to interview the riders and teams. . .

I wonder if. . . ?

There won't be enough beer to keep you fluent enough for interviews everyday

[F5 Dave]

Fair point.

Is there a beer sponsor? Rossi had a brewery sponsor at one time.

So, I watched the Ducati ride of Champions. It was quite interesting. Iannone was faster than Bags. MM just cruised around in the qualifying, then in the last 2 laps of the main race caught up 1.4 secs to come third?
Martin was like, nowhere. Quite fascinating to see them riding basically stock bikes

Yes. Estrella Galicia have sponsored teams, is/was the official beer of MotoGP, and was title sponsor of this year's Spanish GP.
If I saw it I'd buy it to try it but...

No one wanted to get injured on a PR exercise. Except MM who bowled Bulega last lap to take his 3rd place.
Not a good look in front of Ducati management I'd have thought.
Esp as Bulega may have been injured according to some reports.

I thought this was hilarious:

The Spanish rider attacked Bulega on the'last lap, the two came into contact and the Superbike rider è fell to the ground, fortunately without suffering serious consequences but very astonished by the Spaniard's aggressiveness.

Marc Marquez at the end of the race è went to the box of Bulega to apologize and clarify the dynamics of the accident.


These are his words: "I think it was a show for all the fans. &It was a good race, we had fun, a great celebration for Ducati. At the start, at the first corner, there's been a bit of chaos. Too bad about the last lap, I heard Bulega fall. I don&#39t know if there was contact or not, I didn&#39t hear that much. We both go to the podium to celebrate".

If you get in the ring with Mike Tyson, dont expect him not to come at you.. I mean, the dude had just made 1.4 secs on you and had one corner to try and pass.
To be fair though, its not a good way to win friends :P

Ooh, I just found this:

It looks like 2 things are possible: Bulega left a wee (or no) gap and MM touched the back wheel inappropriately, or there was a wee gap and MM entered, and Bulega went WTF and stood the bike up.. I am not an expert though and that was too small a video to really make it out

edit: after watching it a few more times it doesnt look like there was a standing up of the bike, but there might have been the tiniest of gaps to get through.

edit2: an even more zoomed in version:
