    Finally figured out where Dylan went.

    It's been just over a year since I accepted a job offer to move to Barcelona and join the fantastic team at Dorna Sports to work as a Voice Over Artist in MotoGP and Lead Commentator in the FIM CEV Repsol. It's been a hugely exciting learning curve, one that has tested my abilities, and without a doubt improved my skills in so many areas.

    I'm very excited to be focusing more on commentary for the forthcoming season with a number of different projects, kicking off with highlights of the Credit Andorra G Series throughout this month and into February. March sees the start of what will be a hectic 10 month schedule in the world of racing, but I'm so excited to get better at the job I've always dreamed of.

    Here's to a successful 2018, and I wish you all the best in your endeavours also.

    Dylan Gray didn't retire, he went to the opposition which makes a difference. He might be on the move again because one comment I saw indicates BT may have lost the UK coverage.
    There does seem to be further upheaval to come in the commentary teams, I guess it'll all settle for the first race.

    Some of the aero pckages are causing comment being strictly in accordance with the letter of law, if not the spirit. I'm going to need to find a detailed explanation of how the Yamaha wings - as per pic - are legal.

    Looks fine to me. They aren't wings as such, but more like ducts, same as the other manufacturers.

    A more correct description is "ring aerofoils". These go back to the 1920's and are quite useful at subsonic speeds.

    Yeah for sure, but I literally can't see anything wrong with them. No idea what the basis for any objection to them would be. If anyone knows why those are objectionable when others let me know.

    Indeed. Although his replacement knows a thing or two about racing motorbikes - Simon Crafar.

    They've been testing this one out (nicknamed the hammerhead), but not Marquez or Pedrossa. I don't think Luthi has either. EDIT only Aoyama so far?
