    Well it was a master class by MM.

    He forcing the others to go for Medium in an attempt to try and keep up. Hes that good. Hence Rossi's front tyre choice.
    Perdo cant match him on the same gear, Yamaha cant find the Hondas secret. Best rider, Best bike.
    There's talk of all contracts being re negotiated this year. If anything will drive Lorenzo to Honda it will be to compete with MM on an equal footing on the same bike, Food for thought? Might be really good to have a big swap around in the last year of these rules.
    Rossi good to see him wanting it so bad this year. I hope he can stick with it he seems to be enjoying his racing.
    Dovi, Damn good ride

    BUT
    Hard to judge when he's on such different gear?
    I just have this feeling that the hole MotoGP is such a mess atm?
    Bikes with more fuel, different tyres, different electronics its becoming a joke.
    Cant wait till 2016 when HOPEFULLY they will be all under the same rules on similar bikes again.
    Maybe I have the boring race blues (not as bad as Cruthlow I bet??) they are all getting so desperate mistakes are coming to the forefront.
    Cruthlow knew what he was getting into,he had a good yardstick in his former teammate

    With everything so close after the rule changes,I suppose it was on the cards ? But lets see if he can do it again.

    You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
    If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..

    Rossi must have been smoking the electric puha? Extra hard was not available according to Azuma san.

    Herewith an interview, but there is more PR speak than answers.

    Last 2 are my favourites of all time, Steiny when you could buy the brown bottled blue labelled brew, simply a diff fermentation time to the current ex known as export brew.

    Really.... I wouldn't ride to the dairy on that - let alone race.

    Bridgestone are just NOT doing it. Perhaps they are too complacent with the single brand rule in place?
    It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    On Twitter a day or two ago Mat Oxley was commenting on Jack Miller to the effect that Miller was a very nice kid, a funny guy, so far not at all up himself, as yet unaffected by the dread hand of corporate PR. This to the effect that Miller even extended an invitation to Oxley to ride with him to the track unasked.

    I would not own up to being cynical, but the thought occurred that being nice to the press may bring rewards?

    And so to this:

    Exellent link Pritch cheers man. I already forwarded a bit out of it to a Kiwi racer who needs to change one thing imo and he will then be extremelly fast, he is bloody fast already but I am sure there is more to come from him still at less risk to himself than currently. I will not say who out of privacy to him on here though.

    But it is to do with his riding style and if I am correct, that will be noted later this year when the season starts again to people who really pay attention and try to steal/addapt other peoples skills by watching closely in detail.

    Yes ROBERT, it is who I discussed with you last week at your workshop, and he is listening to this old Koot.
