    One of the intentions of changing the last corner was to slow people onto the straight so that they get to the first turn a bit slower. However, it's had the opposite affect, they're getting to turn 1 faster now. Seems they're slower through turn 15 but are able to get on the throttle earlier and harder than before so they end up faster at the end of the straight.

    On the positive side, ya can't go in hot and block pass someone on the last lap to take the win any more.

    Is Iannone gay?

    He maybe an idiot on the track sometimes but, I mean, is he actually gay? I'm following him on Facebook and time to time "friendly" shots get posted on the page timeline. I'm not homophobic, just curious.

    Based on rep comments i get there are plenty of faggots on kb who can satisfy your "curiosity".

    Not according to his own bio. Europeans tend to have less hang ups about same sex friendships than most other parts of the world.

    'S funny. I follow Maniac Joe on Twitter and he hasn't posted those pics there that I recall. Rossi got lumbered with a gay meme without even posting pics like that.

    This current thread just accentuates the point that we need a race to give us something apposite to discuss?

    OK in the absence of a race this: MM and Pedro take a couple of RC213V-S bikes to Austria.

    Looks like an interesting circuit alright.

    It is also nice to hear Dani talking about on track in a positive and enthusiastic way, no pressure to perform on that day .

    Doing the second burnout was inspired. 'See, you can biff it up the road, and still give it a hiding afterwards'.

    At last! The GP paddock is on the move.

    Michelin are bringing an asymmetric front which is apparently the object of some speculation.

    Asymmetric fronts haven't gone down too well in the past. The riders don't like how it different it feels on one side to the other. That was with Bridgestone though so be interesting to see how the Michelin asymmetric goes.

    This next one is a great GP, so my German mates say.
    I've yet to get there,maybe next year.It's one that is fully booked out with around 130 thousand spectators.
    love those loooong corners.

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