at this point, i'm pretty sure 'leaks' like this are coordinated by his publicity teams to make sure maga knows he thinks exactly how they do and that he is one of them

After a few weeks of #r1150gs ownership, my only regret is that I didn't get myself one of these sooner!

My r1150gs pointed down a gravel path where there were once train tracks a long time ago

2/2...or is this all part of the price gigi was willing to pay to get Marc on a factory bike? Jorge leaving with the no1 plate, pramac switching to yamaha, enea going to ktm, pecco's will to live, etc.

I know it's stupid to even ask, b/c Ducati has just won the #motogp triple crown, again, but could this be the beginning of the empire starting to crumble? Other teams are winning, red bikes aren't making it out of p1, and now an entirely duc-less podium? Is this proof concessions are working... 1/2

There has never been a bad #motogp race/sprint at Phillip Island!

All hail bez, he who denies young riders first sprint wins, crusher of dreams!

Also.... What's a long lap cost if you don't serve it? 3sec each?

What's to say bez won't say fuck it and try to beat the whole grid by 6+ seconds!

Not surprised, I've owned an mt09 and currently have an xsr900 and that cp3 engine is simply a delight!

I have never seen a bad race at Phillip Island... AND because of my timezone, this is a midnight sprint and 11pm GP for me! 🍻

Every time a Democrat gets caught on tape saying like “Some Trump voters are racist” we have a national scandal and JD Vance demands an entirely new kind of apology and meanwhile every Republican group chat is like “Good morning fellow SS members. Who’s ready to respect Hitler today?”

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

ah well, i guess they had a good run.....

Sure, but you're watching (or ignoring) the ad in an exchange for the streaming or web service you are using.

Windows isn't a free software that subsidizes itself through ads, it's a commercial product that costs real money. There is no excuse for why I need to see a Cadillac ad in the start menu

Does anyone NOT chained to a corporate laptop actually use windows of their own free will?

Why would you do that to yourself....? Do you like ads?? Do you like running slow and bloated os?

Is it maybe like a fetish thing?

Just switch to Linux already!

This makes the most sense,

i'd love to see him at portimao but I'd love to see him healthy next year more....

This could be vinales in assen all over again...

1down5up.bsky.social @1down5up.bsky.social · 16d

A Portimao return makes the most sense to me too, take the rest time, recover and back in fighting shape. it's also one of the two tracks on the calendar he has never won at (the other being mandalika).

I hope so too, but watching him get up and his arm just dangling there until he popped it back in place was brutal!
Early reports/rumors are suggesting it's "just" a collarbone which, while devastating to mere mortals like us, is a relatively minor injury (I less it explodes into 5 pieces like JM)

That being said, bez is still at fault, and should absolutely face a penalty for being out of control of his motorcycle, but that is not at all to suggest he did this intentionally
