Coupla bits:

Jack Miller has been expressing himself in his usual forthright fashion. He is quoted as saying words to the effect, "Nicky, Eugene, and I, have been telling people all year that the new electronics are fucking shit. Now they believe it."

Bradders has become only the fourth rider ever to score points in all eighteen rounds of the championship. Not bad for a Ginja eh Pete?

I don't know what he did at Jerez but it was a bloody good trick getting booed in his own country.

to boo lorenzo is the height of bad sportmanship.To beleive that lorenzo deserves it is also bad sportmanship Lorenzo didnt need any help to beat Rossi (if indeed he actually got any) .The whole episode is as much a rossi propaganda campaign as much as fact.Although a fantastic racer and tactician he has become a legend in his own mind too.He simply couldnt handle the pressure of being beaten by no less than three of his peers, a situation he has never faced before so he had to invent a scenario he can live with(In my opinion)

NOPE, it is a completely different system than used before.

I think the production Hondas were on the "control" Magnetti Morelli (?) this year. Now everybody is on it.

Bollocks!

The video of the Sepang podium ceremony clearly showed Lorenzo giving a repeated thumbs down at the mention of Rossi's name and at that point the booing started. Bad sportsmanship or not, the booing was clearly a direct result of his own actions.

Roll on 2016.

The factory engineers have to submit their own code in the form of simulink/matlab models, this is the basis of how they can improve upon it.

It was Lorenzos off track antics that attracted the booing.

I wasn't aware he raced.

You're doing it again.

I didn't see him booed in parc firme. I wasn't watching. I saw him booed during the podium ceremony. My explanation of that is accurate according to the video.

Yesterday I had lunch with someone who had a paddock pass at Phillip Island, she said Lorenzo walked through and nobody took any notice. Her impression was nobody much seems to give a fuck about Lorenzo.

I didn't have too much invested in the outcome, sure I'd have preferred Rossi to pull yet another rabbit out of his hat, but that wasn't to be.

Don't be fooled by my avatar that was just a photo I took one day. I'm broad minded, I even took photos of Stoner. There might even be one of Lorenzo somewhere - if I was interested enough to look.

The personal insults that are being thrown around on KB really pisses me off. For fucks sake, behave like adults (I presume the combatants are adults?), debate the issues and leave personalities out of it. FWIW, I will say that I regard Pritch as one of the (very) few here who I find informative and I am surprised that he has come in for this level of attention.
