    Many people think they same after the 800 debacle.

    4 speed gearboxes would limit power in favour of spread and exit speeds would be lower so velocity would be lower.

    Smaller rear rims would make them slower out of corners end net result.

    But they always come back to the Awkward WSB comparison.

    Dave's Lore:

    Should have kept them 750s. Back to late 80s WSB rules.

    All 750s. Give the twins a massive weight advantage but not CCs. Make the fours heavier if you have to. You can tweak the weight rules without screwing up the base saleable bikes.

    But in combination with the loss of ride height devices and less aero, it should work.

    Although the biggest reduction in lap times in recent seasons followed the introduction of the new Michelin rear slick in 2024.

    Probably a bit early for any announcements on the ThreeNow coverage. I doubt it will improve though.

    I'll probably keep going with the same downloads as last year, which I found on Reddit.

    I renewed the full sub after wtching about half of last year on a monthly sub.I reckon its not bad esp as you have all the old stuff to watch as well.Video pass lets you have about three or views at once ie commentary view,some on boards and a helicopter view all at the same time. I have got the TV going at last i watched on my laptop last year

    That sub does seem expensive but I found TV3 clunky. Feb is a bad month budget wise but once I've paid the insurances and the rates we'll see...

    On a brighter note. The latest Oxley Bom podcast has a lengthy interview with Alex Briggs. For those unfamiliar he was a MotoGP mechanic for I think he said 28 years. His riders included Doohan and Rossi. His career ended when Rossi was downgraded to a satellite team. The satellite budget didn't run to business class travel from Australia to Europe or wherever several times a year.

    He's always an interesting listen.

    Yes, but last time I looked, you couldn't get it in NZ because Sky has the rights.

    Just finished listening to the podcast either end of sleeping. Had to pause it as was getting too late and was interesting keeping me awake. Long time to be in the game.

    First day at Sepang and 3 riders down, including Jorge Martin who has broken bones in his hand and foot after a nasty highside. Not a good start...

    Yeah, what rotten luck for Martin. He will be gutted he won't be able to give his feedback at this critical development stage to stamp his personal imprint on the bike. Now development is going to be on bezechis head. And he did not seem to have the development skills to get the gp23 sorted enough for him to be competitive with the other gp23 riders last year - concerning.

    Seeing the yamahas and Honda in the top 10 is encouraging even though they already had a few days testing at the same track earlier this week.

    Bagnia is languishing at the bottom of the time sheets. Nothing to be concerned about as he will be proper testing and I'm sure will be at the pointy end come the first race. Marc was lower top 10 most of the day, then decided to ride around the bikes current issues to post the 2nd fastest time - class.

    KTM are struggling, no surprises there considering their off track dramas.

    This year is going to be awesome, I can just feel it
