    Yes he certainly has a way of in depth tech speak. i don't see any of the main stream bike journos replacing him in a hurry.
    Re the F9 s, way back a high school mate bought an ex Peter Ploen F9 with a factory roadracing? kit ... my god it was a rocket and as a 15 year old it made quite an impression racing (and beating) rd350's etc.

    Fabio has been riding on the edge all year, it's impressive how few times it's gone wrong.

    I have a photo of that bike at Onekawa (Napier) races. IIRC the factory kit did a lot for the power, not so much for the brakes. I've still got a thing for F9s, would love to get one again. Harry Klemms website has lots of info about making them stay together.
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

    the latest press conference

    Over the years we've watched MM learn how to follow his prey then jump.. but still do crazy stuff. Now we have a MM who has learned how to be wise, but is forced to only use his mad skills when he needs to, but now has to rely on his wisdom.. I dont know which is more scary, but if I was a GP rider, I'd be a bit worried lol. Marc will know all your weaknesses, and given the opportunity he can and will throw something magical at you, but only if it will get him a win.

    Over covid, spare parts have been hard to find for specialised equipment. Now some supply chains are normalising. MM is not obsolete and now fully operational with a few sw patches..

    it wasnt so long ago that the Honda was the fastest bike,or the most agile bike,or the bike that could stop on a dime..it isnt that anymore.All it will take IMHO is the honda to have one strong point and he will be back at the very pointy end

    So Bagnaia could find himself in Q1 if it's wet for P3. Could be an interesting weekend...

    On the grid there was a minute's applause for the recent passing of the head of Red Bull. I don't know if it went for a full minute but it reminded me of people clapping Kim Jong Un in North Korea. Not in a good way.
