Hi All
Just woke up to the news that rat boy is swapping €12 million and a factory ride for €2million and a second hand ducati.
Can't wait to see how this turns out

Watched the Japanese sprint, same old pecking order, excluding Jorge (what are they feeding him)...lol.
Mrs said I'm watching the GP....I'm thinking I might give it a miss....but then....rain 
More excitement in half a race than in 2 normal dry ones.
Really sad saying that, something needs mixing up, the status quo is getting boring.

You're not wrong really enjoyed watching him and was rooting for a podium, would have been too good to be true!
What a little gem they've got in India, all that build up about it probably not being ready and then it turns out like that! Shame for Marini in the sprint, didn't look that bad but after some of the lucky escapes for riders lately being reminded they're human isn't a bad thing.
What the hell were Dorna thinking* with Jorge Martin, delaying the podium ceromony, he shouldn't have been on it, disgraceful.
10 year anniversary of Marco Simoncelli's death on the 23rd, what could have been
Where does the time go!
* not actually asking, just in disbelief they'd do that

That’s interesting, I wouldn’t though he would be in it for the money. I think he has one last title in him!
To do it on a non factory bike is some ask though!

Hi Scozza
My "man in the paddock" said rat boy has signed a big money pre contract deal with Faenza which is dependant on them getting the ducati deal.
Can't see him riding a 1 year old bike personally, but I wouldn't put much past the slimey little sh#t

I had seen that. That’s Kawasaki ****ed!
See if he can get more out of it than TR. They must have promised him something
Mr Honda on a Ducati, is it a factory ride, could be interesting that, the dirty rat strikes again

Hi All,
I think the phrase is "you can never relive your childhood"
But I did this weekend, thank you Mr Pedrosa for taking years off my life for a couple of days
Never the #1 legend as that goes to Vali for me, but you truly are a legend in your own right
Probably one of the greatest race weekends ever

Bagnaia o.k for Misano, he's a tough lad. I wasn't expecting that or the domino effect of the crash, not seen a proper high side like that for a while.
Apart from that the race was better down the pecking order, some good tussels, when we got to see them. Not sure what fun there is to be had watching a race leader 1.5 seconds ahead with the odd pan to the 2nd place.

Great rider JOH, meet him a couple of times, proper nice guy, great rider ☝️
The Yamaha is lacking otherwise he would win everything

Finally got to watch Thruxton, that Ohalloran is something else, the rest of the field might as well give up when it came to those 3 corners  Didn't get to see Cardwell but caught the Motorad there, again not too exciting.
I'll have a nosey for the MM rumours, not been keeping up to date last couple of weeks :-(

Ducati dominance 
The best rider for me is on a Yamaha towing his nuts off

Did see the rumour MM on an MV in 2025 season via KTM.
Agree getting boring ,the Manx GP qualy is good with 230+ classic lap.

Last race back to the same order of things....boredom for me 
Most exciting bit was Bezzecchi near high side, was it on the 1st corner...hmm
Missed the Sprint and based on the GP didn't watch it, how bad is that !

Go for it, have you a race licence ? Interesting what MM said about KTM but if he really believes it why not go to them next season when honda said they wouldn't stand in his way.
