Listening to podcasts this morning, I had a question: can great riders really be considered that if they make wrong choices with their contracts? Isn’t career acumen as important as speed?

If we're talking about bias, why do BBC politics programmes, from Politics Live to the Laura Kuennsberg Show, still always begin with a look at the newspaper front pages, which are overwhelmingly biased in one direction. Helps frame the entire news agenda and debate in their favour

Though I hate to bang my own drum, the entirely predictable thing appears to be happening at KTM, with CFMoto looking at taking over KTM's MotoGP project. Looks like the pain point is the price, and whether it's just grid slots or the whole KTM Racing department

Nothing about this is right. You can call it passata but you might as well call a fish a dog.
Very clumsy way to do this, I wish these apps were not so limited. We need more freedom from big brother.
Here is a short cut recipe for a base Passat sauce I was asked for. This will serve you well, quick tasty and easy. Try were you can to add the confit garlic and its oil.

The most interesting thing I’ve seen at EICMA was by far the MV 5 cylinder engine.
Very compact.

Biggest disappointment at EICMA was the new Norton. You can really see where corners have been cut.

Nice portrait of nine-time AMA Grand National Champion Scott Parker. I would love to know the story of the artwork he's standing next to titled "American Factory Workers." If anyone knows leave a comment. (Mitch Friedman photo) #scottparker #amagrandnationalchamp #harleydavidson #americanflattrack

Nicolo Bulega is to make his #MotoGP debut at Portimão, replacing Marc Marquez in the factory Ducati Lenovo team. Will replace Marquez there and at Valencia.

Did a 1'38.0 at a private test in Jerez. Respectable, given conditions

Truth: There are only spasms of stability in MotoGP.

Tyre contact area oscillation is unavoidable, but too much limits not just absolute grip... it also disguises where that limit is.

Get it right... and you're still trying to assemble a watch in a rock-tumbler while falling down the stairs 😮
