She obviously thought you were a chick!

All doubt was removed whenmy pants came off, either way.

Reckon it's as likely to happen as Helen Clark giving John Key a blowjob.

more likely that John gives Helen one

see Drew posting this morning......apparently he didn't find a gun

"Márquez’s session was however not without incident, as a strong pass on Came IodaRacing Project’s Simone Corsi saw the Italian crash, with the champion later heading to his pit box to apologise. He was later penalised by Race Direction, and will start Sunday’s race from last on the grid. His team did not appeal against the decision.."

Bhahahahaha, good job, talented little shit needs to learn a bit of respect before next session

He hasn't taken advantage of his previous learning opportunities, why would this one be any different?
I've been a Marquez fan till now, but, geez, what a tosser!

That one aspect of marquez really does worry me.We have seen that incidents like that can end very badly.And the moto gp bikes bite hard.I am really afraid one of his no holds barred passing manouvres will end very badly for the other party in motogp

I saw something on the 'Net this morning about two yellow cards, one at Motegi and this one at Valencia. I think perhaps someone fucked up when they let him off the hook after he took Pol Espagaro out earlier in the year. A hard slap might have sorted him out then.

If he starts that crap with the big boys I hope one of them knocks some sense into him quick smart. Been a while since there was a punch up in the paddock?

Watching FP3 Moto3 just now, cool to hear the circuit announcements in Spanish and the local language Valencian (which is one of the Catalan languages if you didn't know). Neat.

But anyway, GO JACKASS!!!!

Rach and I were there in 2010. Fucking glad it didn't rain then. The language barrier was enough.

What's wrong with being proactive and heading such an incident off at the pass ? Surely an invitation to the race office, and a polite but firm pre-season chat with the clerk of course outlining his responsibilities to his fellow MotoGP racers would be a good start. Alternately, a five-minute pep talk along the same lines with Jorge and Casey, as the two most recent champions might get the message through. Is he already so famous nobody can question his on-track behaviour ? GIVE HIM THE MESSAGE !!

Sporting Regulations
Effective immediately:
Teams and their contracted or nominated riders become subject to all regulations with effect from the start of the “season”. The season is defined as starting on the day after the last race of the preceding season. The effect of this change is that all contracted teams and riders are subject to the same test restrictions.
In the case of an interrupted race then a penalty of starting from pit lane which had been imposed on a rider for the first part of the race will be replaced by a penalty of starting from the rear of the grid whenever the first part of the race has completed more than 50% of the original race distance.
The dispensation to allow MotoGP class “Rookie” riders to participate in one three day test during November/December is cancelled.
The penalty for speeding in pit lane has been increased from €70.00 to €150.00. However, subsequent penalties in the same event will also be €150.00 rather than the previous penalty of €370.00
Further detail sporting regulation changes were approved but publication of these will be postponed until after the next Grand Prix Commission meeting on 13 December.

Technical Regulations
Effective 01 January 2014:
MotoGP Class
The use of the ECU and datalogger provided by the Championship organisers is compulsory.
MSMA manufacturers, supplying machines for a maximum of four entries per manufacturer, will use their own electronics software but in this case are subject to a maximum fuel capacity of 20 litres.
All other machines must use the ECU, datalogger and software provided by the Championship organisers and these machines may have a maximum fuel capacity of 24 litres.
The maximum number of engines that may be used in a season is limited to:
- MSMA manufacturers machines (Maximum four per manufacturer) 5 engines
- MSMA manufacturers in their first season of participation 9 engines
- All other entries 12 engines
Engines are frozen for all races of the same season.
In addition to the changes effective 2014, bore and stroke dimensions are frozen for the three-year period 2013 to 2015.
Important Note: The above regulation changes are subject to the satisfactory conclusion of on-going negotiations between FIM, Dorna and the Manufacturers concerning the supply of additional machines and engines for use by other teams from 2014. Contracts for the supply of these machines, engines, parts and technical support must be concluded between Dorna and the Manufacturers prior to the first event of 2013. Only then will the technical regulation changes be finally adopted.

Moto2 Class
Effective Immediately:
The minimum weight for this class will now be 215 kg being the combined weight of the machine and rider, including the rider’s protective equipment, on bike, camera, etc. Ballast may be added to achieve the minimum weight.
Further detail technical regulation changes were approved but publication of these will be postponed until after the next Grand Prix Commission meeting on 13 December.

Best Grand Prix
IRTA had agreed that the Best Grand Prix, previously decided exclusively by IRTA members should instead be nominated by the Grand Prix Commission representing all parties involved in the Championship. The Commission decided to confirm the Malaysian GP at Sepang as the best Grand Prix of 2012.

[Mental Trousers]

Good to see the rules officially announced. Using 20 litres a race across 5 engines per season is definitely going to be a challenge for the factories.

Would love to see Dorna use the Open Source model for the ECU software though (open as within the teams that use it, ie any alterations must be pushed back upstream for everyone to use).
