Since we got screwed on the Grand Prix today, we're watching Jack Miller's 2014 Moto3 win instead. It's a decent replacement. #MotoGP

With a whimper, not a roar… Such a sad way to leave such a special place

CS27 is cool and all, but the 2022 IndonesianGP rain delay for 3 hours was actually entertaining. Rain dance, Fabio making fun of the rain dance and failing, Andrea Migno giving Capirossi a ride through penalty in his safety car...

Don't worry, guys! Casey's here to fix things 👋

Leave it to Dorna to think it's a good idea to show people talking in lieu of racing in a rain delay, and just have music playing instead of the interview audio.

If I could get a eulogy like this when I die, I would be very proud of myself. I got whiplash reading this. "He longed to race in a sidecar and tried until he was 65. He served time in prison for a bank robbery. He passed away at 77. Rest in peace." Instead, I'll get, "Kory was well known for...

Se quedó con las ganas de correr en Sidecar y lo intentó hasta los 65 años. Estuvo en la cárcel por el atraco a un banco. Nos ha dejado a los 77 años. DEP. Os recomiendo el obituario de Juan Pedro de la Torre. www.motociclismo.es/deporte/nos-...

I remember when media did a whole bunch of stories about Joe Biden’s shoes to emphasize that he was old. But Trump can randomly blurt out random noises, fall asleep constantly in meetings, and walk like a drunk failing a sobriety test, and we get almost nothing.

FWIW, there was no hint of a dislike between them at COTA.

Holgado and Alonso are teammates who don't get along well. Ok, where's the drama? What really worries me, having listened how Alonso expressed himself in our mother tongue, is a deficit of maturity in his speech. Quite naive. I hope that he will be able to manage everything surrounding MotoGp

For context, the whole Aspar team was hanging out, with the boys shooting hoops and playing skee ball for over an hour. It wasn't like Dani or David were sulking in the corner.

It's now on display! From memory, they have it parked beside the SR-71, appropriately. 2nd photo is not mine, but since most you reading this haven't been to this place: You walk in and the SR-71 front and center, with the Shace Shuttle Discovery looming behind. What a great view!

An F-117 is going on display at the Smithsonian Museum near me. I'm pretty excited about this! The only one I've seen was at the US Air Force Museum in Ohio. We didn't have a lot of time to spend there and it was literally in a dark corner. airandspace.si.edu/newsroom/pre...

"With Toprak's injury ruling him out for the rest of the season, his point tally of 18 counts him as one of the weaker sides of debut rookie seasons in the last 5 years." #MotoGP

He is a garbage human being.

Yesterday, Russia launched 217 guided aerial bombs, 8,784 attack drones and carried out 2,607 shelling attacks across Ukraine. All. In. One. day. Quoting @atrupar: "Trump: "Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven't been doing much."" https://x.com/atrupar/status/2112263429939417088

Jaja THE STRANGE CASE OF DR. MARCO AND MR. BEZ

Swinxy@swinxygp.bsky.social

EL EXTRAÑO CASO DEL DR. MARCO Y MR. BEZ www.motociclismo.es/mundial-moto... En 1886 vio la luz ‘El extraño caso del doctor Jekyll y el señor Hyde’, donde Stevenson quiere plasmar la dualidad del ser humano, desde la premisa de que el bien y el mal conviven juntos dentro de cada persona.

If I didn't know anything about KDSR, I wouldn't have been able to believe that the parent of a rider who hasn't even raced a GP yet could command so much attention in memoriam. I guess that is a testiment to his personality and many levels of tragedy around his passing. THANKS

Looks like Liberty doesn't think Marc is excused despite his deity-level status. #MotoGP will fine riders €5000 for not complying with promotional events during the Grand Prix, penalties that will increase if they reoffend, even considering sporting sanctions es.motorsport.com/motogp/news/...

es.motorsport.comMotoGP multará con 5.000 euros a los pilotos que no cumplan con los eventos promocionalesEl campeonato del mundo informó este sábado a los equipos de MotoGP que impondrá multas económicas a los pilotos que no cumplan con un mínimo en los eventos de promoción, empezando por el 'Hero Walk' ...

As an aside, why are pole positions situated to be on the OUTSIDE of turn 1? IDK why they aren't always on the inside. All this does is make it more likely for the front row to all arrive at the same time. I'm sure there are enough racers here to school me.

Tim Higgs @drtimhiggs.bsky.social

He could have moved to his right asap to defend his position rather than stick on the outside when it's always going to be mad lunges into a tight first corner

Alex Rins is getting death threats over a video where him AND 2 other marshals are arguing with another on a scooter. It wasn't just Rins. Seemed like the scooter guy refused to transport Rins to the garage. So as he was walking away he flipped off the scooter guy.

Well here it is. Fucking tire pressures deciding a championship.

Jorge Martín: "Me hubieran descalificado si no me dejo pasar por Marc Márquez" www.motociclismo.es/mundial-moto...

Marc effing around with Jorge yesterday in qualifying. Now, he runs into Diggia at T1 and causes Marco and my boy Raul to go down. I'm tired of MM93. He's ready to tap out due to age and injuries, and he's now making a mockery of these other riders' future. #IndonesianGP #MotoGP #RF25

Dominoes started by, no surprise, Marc Marquez. Diggia was stable until Marc turned into him and bumped him with his knee. Everything else was a reaction to that. Everyone blaming Bez hasn't bothered to look at all 4 riders.

Photo isn't mine. Apparently, it was so dark that I deleted the photo because it was poor. The AF museum was great, rivaling the Smithsonian. That was the only time I got to sit in an F-16 cockpit. I found this funny photo from an airshow in Virginia. It was so hot the only shade was under a B-52!

This is absolute and undeniable proof that MAGA doesn't know what these terms mean. They have become generic pejoratives that are simply the trendiest way to (attempt) to insult a Democrat.

Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

Brian Uriarte’s brake lever issue cost him a potential win. Manu González’s clutch issue has potential championship consequences. Two problems that may have been caught in warm-up. And now #MotoGP is losing warm-up too? The riders deserve better.

In news that probably isn't interesting to anyone else: Aleix is ripped! Due to his height, he said (before he retired) he couldn't lift weights b/c he would put on too much muscle & weight. He had practically no body fat, but he looked as scrawny as Rossi did. #MotoGP #AE41

2 years later, he's put on considerable muscle. So I post this because: 1) riders have to be on extreme diets, especially taller ones 2) what elite athletes these guys are; I am continually surprised at the level of fitness it takes to sit on a motorcycle and move your limbs only slightly.
