The other factories stole a march when they all poached electronics guys from Magneti Morelli (SP?) when that became the standard ECU. Yamaha thought they didn't need to. Eventually they conceded and they did hire a guy, and his efforts may be starting to bear fruit as Rossi reports improvement in that regard.
It must be frustrating for Rossi being unable to compete properly, I wouldn't be totally surprised if he quit at the end of this year. At least that'd give Zarco somewhere to go. His options look exceedingly limited.

Crafar has improved in the interview arena, which was expected I guess ?
But he's not a natural yapper.
You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..
I remember Jonathan Greene's WSBK co-commentator, an Australian and a world champion endurance racer at the time, his name escapes me to my shame, saying that in theory the paint has the same grip as the track but that he didn't trust that theory. I'm with him.
Watching the Moto3 guys riding on the wet paint (they seem to do it more) makes me feel uncomfortable. Sometimes it bites them on the arse and makes them feel uncomfortable too.

riding on the kerbs period,not only in the rain!
My 2nd track day was at Taupo, as a young dumb fella I went a bit wide coming out of the hairpin onto the back straight and ended up on the outside curbs. Was like some MX whoops luckily kept it pinned but not a fun time. Managed to steer well clear of them since then
Guessing the regulations on motogp curbs mean they aren't as hardcore as ours here though, anyone ever ridden a GP track able to comment?

Millers contract signed for 1 more year on factory spec bike.
I think with the KTM bike suddenly up for grabs they pulled finger before he told em to phuck off.
Matt Oxley wrote a good article on how they treat their talented riders and how its cost them titles in his eyes. If Miller doesn't get the factory seat at the end of 2020...

Danny Kent former world champ, having lost his BSB ride, is in the news again. Not in a good way.

Jesus, he speaks so proper too! "Pip pip sir, kindly pay this debt or I shall reach forth this blade and spill your blood"
What a waste of talent, though in saying that the guy that kicked his arse in the 2nd half of his moto3 season appears to have much more skill on a bike.
Heads up.
Start times for the Silverstone GP have been changed. The race order will be Moto3, MotoGP, Moto2.
Apparently this enables viewers in Europe to watch the MotoGP race at their usual time.

Everybody is seemingly impressed with the new track surface, but then it hasn't rained yet. Friday's times suggest Yamaha are particularly suited to the track.
Fastest on Friday:
FQ
MM
MV
VR
CR
AD
Several riders, including Rossi and Quateraro, had lap times deducted for exceeding track limits but the riders were not happy. They must have managed to convince Race Direction because the times were reinstated.
