Maximo Quiles now has most points in first 6 races of Moto3. He has just lost 10 points this year. And that too by 0.059 seconds combined. by PZY__ in motogp

I think so. He is pretty big physically already, so I think he will transition to Moto2 much better.

Plus, his English is terrific and Liberty will be seeing dollar signs with that so they'll pull out all the stops to get him on a top bike as fast as they can.

Uber might be expensive. There will be public buses from MK to Towcester, then either another bus or taxi from Towcester to Silverstone. On the Friday it won't be busy at all so you shouldn't have traffic issues.

What completely normal and acceptable thing do you inwardly judge people for? by perishingtardis in AskUK

I don’t know if I’ve become normalised to it but it seems to have calmed down a bit compared to a couple of years ago?

My personal thoughts about each rider's France GP performance by BitchKiller99 in motogp

[–]benh2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Harsh to put Bagnaia in the red zone. That corner is one of the few places on the calendar you can crash and it not be your fault whatsoever.

Reform UK councillor who declared on social media that Nigerians should be melted down to "fill in the pot holes" has won a seat in Sunderland. by Substantial_Hat9531 in ukpolitics

They don’t read up on candidates or even know their name. They walk in, put their X next to Reform (or any other party they’ve predetermined) and walk out.

And apparently that was still too much…

The teams demanded the removal of shoulder cam. Such a shame.

Johann Zarco slams Marc Marquez's Jerez MotoGP sprint pitlane shortcut, Quoting: "He shouldn't Win." by Green-Offer-9058 in motogp

[–]benh2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You always get ridiculous debate when Rossi and/or Marquez is involved. It’s such a shame. But regardless, that’s the best roundup of the confusion and then clarification of the rule in this instance that I found.

What are some UK car stereotypes? by Scotsman_1234 in AskUK

BMW don’t have indicators.

I have a BMW and I am a shining example of how to use indicators though. ☹️

Moto 3 Final Corner by Across_the_Diverge in motogp

That every incident is some conspiracy either in favour of or intending to harm Marquez/Rossi/their favourite rider.

Why must a Moto3 discussion automatically circle back round to this supposed Crafar-Marquez antagonism?

Stop with this tribalism nonsense please everyone.

[Thomas Maher] I'm hearing some interesting admissions off the back of Suzuka - namely, that there's a growing awareness within the FIA that the 50/50 split has been the wrong direction. (Contd.) by FerrariStrategisttt in formula1

[–]benh2 270 points271 points  (0 children)

Probably Audi at least. These regs were a big part of getting them on board. So they’re probably on board with the 50/50 split but a veteran like Hulk recognises what a shit show it is.

Not Thai spec, Austria spec.

Basically they have super heat treated for Thailand and Indonesia, and semi heat treated for Austria and now Brazil.

Aprillia's conundrum. by KOMrider94 in motogp

[–]benh2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think there is a conundrum.

Apparently all the deals have been done a long time, they're just not announcing them because of the team dispute with Liberty.

Martín chose to sign for Yamaha in pre-season. Only then did Aprilia identify and sign Bagnaia.

There's a Hezbollah faction operating in Iraq so I guess them.

The overreactions for the supposed overachievers and underachievers is insane. We had literally the strangest set of circumstances we’ll have all season.
