    Yes, David Emmett also said that all of this year's bikes have the GP24 engine, which means it must have been a homologation issue last year. I'm not sure we will really know what happened until Gigi writes his book...

    There's a few quick RH corners at Sepang, which is where Alex is faster than Marc.

    I went there for a F1 race in the pre-hybrid era. It's quite a track, you don't get a good feel for it from watching on a screen.

    Funny you should say that, I have more than one person say one cannot get your head around how big a drop it is at Laguna Seca is until one walks it.
    Compare Pornography now to 50 years ago.
    Then extrapolate 50 years into the future.
