Marquez on pole. In the rain, but still... he had major surgery not too long ago and then gets a poll. Incredible stuff.

I don't believe Keith Heuwen attends the races. While I think you can still be a journalist (or commentator/pundit) not going to races, I think affects your quality. I think some of his inferred 'Old Man Yells at Cloud' is partly due to that - I think some of his thoughts would be different if...

Can't remember where i heard/read it (I think it was on the motogp broadcast) but Ducati is going to run 4 on factory and 4 on year-old spec bikes next year (rather than 5 and 3 respectively). It'll be Factory, Pramac on the factory and VR46 and Gresini on the year-old. Marini is losing his...

Weren't they testing the 2023 engine?

I don't think Enea is any more or less consistent than Pecco. At least, not tangibly wide enough for me. Is Enea a better rider? We'll know next year for sure. Equal bikes - equal support, theoretically anyway.

Ontario will not have provincial holiday Monday to mark Queen’s death https://globalnews.ca/news/9125835/ontario-monday-queen-holiday/

Just this year I would bet.

Apparently, there is some possibility that this coming Monday is going to be a statutory holiday. While I can go into a long winded pro/con argument to this, let me just say that in my specific case, it'd be cool to have a day off (and not watch the funeral)

Kalex is quietly starting to rule the Moto racing world.

She lived to 96 with what appeared to be a good quality of life right until the end. We should all be so lucky.

He's (understandably) over-paranoid that any unnecessary pressure to Bagnaia is unhelpful. Bagnaia can lose 5 points (finishing 2nd), or worse, crash. I bet if team communications were allowed, he would have been yelling "dont you ******* dare get near him!!!"

Good (not great) race. Bagnaia wins again. He has fought his way back into contention. Will still be difficult to win the championship, but it much more realistic than when he was 100 points down. Quartararo appears to be getting that helpless feeling again, but he's a real fighter...

Yeah, I had forgotten about that. Clearly didn't help Gardner.

Also, Tech3 dropping Remy Gardner for Agusto Fernandez must 100% be a nationalistic move given GasGas is a Spanish brand. So it makes more marketing sense to have 2 spanish riders on that branded bike. Going from Gartner to Fernandez is not a step up in my opinion.

For RNF, the speculation i read is that they will be running 2022-spec bikes, so 1 year old. Assuming that is true, Miguel Oliveira turned down a 2023 spec KTM to run a 2022 spec Aprilia.

Acosta won't be old enough for motogp next year. Unless he flops next year, he is destined for motogp in 2024. I suspect it will be Agusto Fernandez at KTM (tech3 gasgas) and Oliveira at Aprilia. If by happenstance you see Oliviera at KTM, I would bet you see Celestino Vietti at Aprilia.

I must be missing something. A lot of pundits point the issue of race quality to the aero of the bikes, which are creating dirty air which makes passing more difficult and is putting more pressure on the front tires. I will withhold judgement on the sprint race, but it seems that they are...

admittedly this won't directly answer your original question, but i've been looking at a 2-door car for a bit of time now, and while the 2 and 4 series have been on my radar, I've also been looking at the Lexus RC. It's in the same competition space as the BMW 4. It does not have have the...
