I've lived and work in Maranello, home of the other Red team.
I understand the inner-workings of the Italian mindset in Emilia-Romanga rather well as I spent a part of my career in that town and got to meet engineers/workers of said Red team. I got to be good friends with the ex-mayor as he was...
Odd, I'm definitely the younger rider here and I prefer carb bikes EXACTLY because of how raw and punishing they are if you make a mistake or run out of talent.
That blue bike in my avatar is a retired ex-HRC race bike from some historic class from the E. Coast, it had 17k punishing miles on...
It has been interesting, but I'm struggling to stay up for the races again... I fear that without Marc this is just another season where the racing is definitely worth watching, but only on replay rather than live as the same excitement isn't there any more.
I really hope Marc recovers and...
Tomorrow is an all day MotoGP day it seems, they're holding all sessions just mixing the order up a bit across categories and will be 60 min sessions.
Personally speaking, I just had a flight canceled this week and other colleagues had issues coming back home from other locations, too. Given...
While this crash was bad, it initially reminded me a lot of his crash in Thailand in 2019, it wasn't until I saw how far he was thrown into the air that I had to pause and make sure if that wasn't Pedrosa on that bike!
This race should have been stopped if Michelin brought **** tires, and...
So was Mir. These were the 2-3 that I had noticed would be making a massive impact in GP. Binder still has a way to go with KTM, but I think he is a future champ, and I think KTM think so too which is why they fast-tracked him over Olivera.
I'd really like to see Zarco do well, but it's like an...
I'm actually Mir fan, I put him only underneath Marc as the best rider on the grid and I think he out performed on that bike that year. He did well last year, but the bike simply wasn't able to keep up with the Ducati or a motivated Fabio.
I think he is way more talented than either Fabio or...
I just finished Indonesian testing and then watched this trailer and it scratched an itch. I hadn't followed up on this since i heard about it mid-season last year.
Sidenote: Marc's scars are ******* insane, I love watching the guy ride on the edge knowing it means he might crash in the...
Ehh, to be honest I would have had him stay longer on the Yamaha as a test rider, but Crashlow will probably get that privilege for the foreseeable future because they won their first title since JLO's last year. But, yeah, it will be funny if he starts things reminding everyone he was 5x World...
Sorry, guys I've been MIA: I got COVID and have been in bed recovering since Wednesday.
I paid for the Mega Server right now, not sure if that's impacted uploads. But things should be back to normal.
Thanks to all the crew.
I can't login to my account unfortunately, shouts to the crew behind the scene, but the phone I had the 2FA is not booting up anymore so I can't log in.
Very interesting chat with the BT guys on Crash.net podcast, specifically the Electrification of the GP classes.
I'm a strong advocate of EV, and my personal view is that everything else (logistics based freight/transport vehicles) should be electrified and demand the big manufactures to invest...
Provisional 2022 Calendar is scheduled for 22 Rounds!

Dorna telling COTA that they won't comeback in 22' if they don't at least re-surface part of the track...
I'm opening all tiers for the rest of the season as we won't be able to continue this project next year, I have taken on more projects and our team has been spread thin and we have been struggling to make it work so we will finish strong but since there are so many affordable options now aside...
Maybe, but he lived in Qatar for a while when he was at Yamaha so you'd have to say it's not a lack of experience so much as it is a psychological thing at this point; yeah, he needs to have a word with Fabio's guy because he was the same way when he joined GP: after throwing enough tantrums and...
I think he has lost confidence in himself entirely since Mir won last year, he used to be the darling of Suzuki ever since Ianone kept messing around and got the boot. His riding style is super odd, but it matches the bike well, it's not like he is pushing to the absolute limit since the Suzuki...
Same, it's what makes him my favorite rider in all of motorsports, you could tell the 'all in mentality' was eventually going to catch up over the years but it was amazing to watch when he was healthy. I actually think it will take time but he will recover, I doubt he will be able to dominate in...
