All this hard talk on a computer world wide by so many lol, just like I was a wee while ago haha, I have been loving reading all the shit. There has been some very interesting FACTS posted about other incidents along the way world wide also though, which have been very cool to read. Been a great time filler for me, and helped me even more with my attn to spelling

Fuck! I didn't know you could turn it off. It gives me the shits. Me being a search and destroy trypist it changes things and I don't always notice.
Some bloody spell checker keeps changing my email address to pitch. It probably took longer than it should for me to notice what was going on, I thought the letter r on my keyboard had packed up.

I spell atrocious. I sent an email that auto corrected definite to defiant one time, I got a politely please explain from my boss lol.
Sometimes mine disappears on KB I am pretty sure that turns it back on, I couldn't see any others in the general settings. Pretty sure Mental T will set us straight regardless.

It was a simple question and it's not a complex issue. Someone blatantly broke the rules causing a crash, someone else didn't break any rules. Anything else is just speculation. I don't disagree with all the speculation either.

Right back to Moto GP talk aye

KTM's got its bike on the track

Succesful debut for KTM's RC16 MotoGP™ bike

Succesful debut for KTM's RC16 MotoGP™ bike
The Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team has completed the roll-out of the KTM RC16
Test rider Alex Hofmann carried out three days of comprehensive testing with the MotoGP™ racing bike at Austria’s Red Bull Ring, the venue will see the return of the Motorcycle World Championship in 2016. The performance tests with the bike, that has been completely developed in-house by KTM, were conducted in good conditions and went exactly according to plan.

Pit Beirer (Motorsport Director): “Thursday was a very emotional moment, not only for me but also for the company, and I believe for many KTM fans in Austria and all over the world. This, and the start of the project on the racing circuit are just as important as any lap time. A very big thanks to Alex (Hofmann) and the entire team for the excellent performance. The feedback and the fact that we were already able to put in very many laps without any problems gives us a lot of motivation for the next steps in this long journey towards our entry into MotoGP in 2017.”

Sebastian Risse (Technical Director Onroad): “There was of course a great deal of tension and pressure on the team and the roll-out took place earlier and on a larger scale than originally planned. The fact that it all went as smoothly as it did, and the data that we have been able to gather makes us very optimistic about the further development of the KTM RC16. Although we are still far removed from the detailed work, these three days were a very positive and instructive test for us.”

Alex Hofmann (Test Rider MotoGP): “What shall I say? Just take a look at my boots and the bike. They both look like new. I have already experienced very different premieres. A big respect for what KTM has already achieved in this extremely short time. I think you can not only see it in my face, but also among all those who have worked here with such enthusiasm and professionalism.”

Another test with Alex Hofmann and the second test rider Mika Kallio is planned for this year. Parallel to this, there will be intensive further development on the KTM RC16 at KTM factory in Austria’s Mattighofen and Munderfing.

Err, what? Can anyone translate that? Sounds like badly translated corporate waffle to me.

I don't think it's the same thing. But I get what you're saying.

I'm pretty sure Rossi knows the penalty will stick. But I imagine he wants to know definitively whether or not he could have taken the title for the tenth time.

Sure, he'll realistically have no one to blame but himself if he places high enough to win it but doesn't get the crown. But that would be a cunt of a question to have in back of mind for the rest of one's career.

He wasn't involved in the incident so this case has nothing directly to do with him. He is making himself look like a whining douchbag.

Not at all. In appeal proceedings it is not uncommon for whatever penalty has been applied to be suspended until after the appeal has been heard. That's probably what Rossi is hoping for.

It may also be that the Court realises that, and decides that starting from the back of the grid at Jerez was the intended penalty, that the penalty was appropriate, and that consequently they will not hear the appeal.

The decision of the court is due to be announced on the 6th. That announcement will only cover whether or not they wll hear the appeal and any matters arising from that decision. If it does go to appeal that'll likely be at least six months away.

Read some interesting comments this morning about the main characters in all this. Rossi, Marquez, Lorenzo do not have anybody around them who will tell them "No". However unrealistic their behaviour may be at the time. Burgess may have filled that role for Rossi but he is gone.

Not long to wait now.

Go Danny Webb.
