I used to get bored when one rider dominated, but after all that MM has been through in the last few years, I'm glad to see him so happy again 😎

I will see the highlights tomorrow, good old ITV4 😊

That was a pleasant surprise wasn't it!

Lots of argy bargy off the line, that was fun. A nice lot of battles todayπŸ‘

Yes, I was just thinking of Maverick's past behaviour and even Zarco. They left teams in strange circumstances, people said 'their careers are ruined' but they got new jobs. So I'm thinking Jorge will be okay and it'll all calm down. Or I'm just too optimistic! lol. I read that Toprak is going to Pramac in 2026, I don't know who he'll replace thoughπŸ€”

It still seems to have caused a big hoo ha though doesn't it. But I'm sure he'll get a place in another team, he'll be fine.

I get he's looking after his career and future but why did the news come out so early, was it a leak or did he tell it on purpose?

I only see the sprint on the Saturday, the timings on Sunday, and highlights on Monday evening. But I quite like that, then I don't see any accidents in the main race. But the British races were shown live, what a treat!

If something really amazing happens I will probably write spoilers.

Zarco has really blossomed hasn't he! At a late stage. The Aprilia fiasco is bonkers! What on earth is going on!πŸ˜…

Did you see what Aprilia said at the Silverstone weekend? Rather pointed IMO.

Oh good I was trying hard not to spoil the result.

Hopefully that rider is due a massive run of good luck soon, he deserves it.πŸ™

It's great to see different winners isn't it? It gets boring if it's the same one each time. And the winner was so happy, doing that very silly dance.πŸ˜…

God. That was brutal, cruel. I bet that team's debrief after the race was very interesting. And another team burning their rider. A VERY dramatic day. I just love all this talking in code!πŸ˜…

In case British viewers didn't know, you can watch the races live on the Quest channel from 10.30am to 3pm on Sunday 25th May. I can't wait! (the sprint is still being shown one hour later on Saturday 24th May)

 

What do you think of these new rules? This is the clearest explanation I could find with Mike Webb's comments. I think both rules are good: after Marc's shenanigans at COTA they needed a clear rule. And riders who are injured for a long time need some practice before they race again, as Jorge Martin's injuries show. Any other views on these rule changes?

 

I hope I'm posting this right?

Gosh, hold on tight everyone if Aleix is a wildcard πŸ˜…My favourite rider!
