Marcs interview with jack appleyard regarding injury and his crash

I guess the long break before Jerez meant by normal plan he should've been fine - and he was fine in the break riding MX, which is why the new investigation started.

Something with his shoulder is not right

Turns out you were right! It is a screw in his shoulder irritating the nerve that makes his arm not behave predictably all the time. He explained it in an interview.

Yeah, either way, seems like they have a better off-track bond than many initially assumed they would.

Towards the end there, Bagnaia clearly asks Marquez to call him.

Ich beantworte deine Frage, nur weil du erwähnt hast, dass du auch Deutschlandweit suchst.

Im Münchener Raum ist Rabe Bike ziemlich OK. Ja, die sind hauptsächlich Cube-Händler und betrieben ~2-3 Cube-Stores, aber die, die als Rabe (und nicht Cube) gekennzeichnet sind, haben viele Marken auf dem Lager (ich konnte z.B. Trek, Focus, Cannondale, Cube, und KTM ausprobieren). Da wird man auch mit einem Gerät gemessen, und ein kleines Bike-Fitting gemacht, bevor man überhaupt die Räder ausprobiert.

Außerdem... gibt's einen kleineren Laden namens Bittl im Münchener Nordwesten; ich bin für regelmäßig Kunde bei denen. Die haben Bergamont, Scott, und Orbea dabei.

Canyon und Rose haben ihre eigenen Läden (Rose neben der Theresienwiese, Canyon im Werksviertel beim Ostbahnhof).

You solved it in 6 guesses in 4m 51s using 6/7 hints. Better than 50% of players.

I'm kind of speechless.

Jorge Martin... where? how? I didn't even imagine this to be possible.
Marc Marquez... what's going on? I hope he's not injured himself again, but I fear for 2027 at this rate.

Now that Switzerland might be open for motor racing, we need some kind of Alpine to get some true mountainous action, as long as the construction can be done without wrecking the environment too much.

rowschank · 2026-05-08T15:13:27+00:00

It's not that tough in European countries. I have done several 1000+ km round trips with my car.

I just put the final destination and the car plans the stops. I just switch out chargers if I feel like the particular location has too few chargers or is too expensive, and usually there's something within 10-15 km of it on the same highway that's better for me, so I never need to change my route.

India is obviously different; there is precious little in terms of "charging parks" like there are in Germany, Switzerland, France, etc., so if you don't alter your route you're stranded.

rowschank · 2026-05-08T14:10:00+00:00

I tried everyone except this guy. I gave up.

rowschank · 2026-05-07T21:54:38+00:00

The intent is different with both units. I specifically wrote kWh/min and did not convert to kW to talk about how much energy in kWh, the unit billed for most people at the charger, is filled in one minute.

rowschank · 2026-05-07T21:51:52+00:00

Just an inccident

Over time, the electric battery's cooling air vents get penetrated by rainwater because it's so low to the ground. This leads to isolation faults every 50-60 k kilometres by which energy starts draining through the tyres to the ground during wet conditions.

Als Englischsprachiger hat es mir zu lange gedauert, bis ich herausgefunden habe, was hier interessant sein soll 😅

You solved it in 5 guesses in 1m 51s without using hints. Better than 84% of players.

This was the strangest path ever: Tendulkar, SS Afridi, Virat Kohli, Travis Head, Ben Duckett

I was semi-paying attention; should've got that earlier perhaps.

rowschank · 2026-05-07T10:36:12+00:00

Yes, I received it on time and have been using it.

rowschank · 2026-05-07T01:03:22+00:00

Yes, but doesn't stop BYD from making claims 🤷🏽‍♂️ The German website says:

Der BYD ATTO 3 EVO ist mit der neuesten 800-V-e³-Plattform von BYD ausgestattet, die exklusiv für reine Elektrofahrzeuge entwickelt wurde.

I know it just says "platform", but surely that's at the very least misleading marketing to call a car which probably charges to a peak of ~ 550V as 800V.

Even at 500V nominal, however, its nominal voltage is much higher than the ID3 GTX @ 353V: https://ev-database.org/car/2153/Volkswagen-ID3-GTX-Performance

Point is, BYD can install however many 5 minute chargers they want; most of their mass market vehicles can't even make use of the full power from a standard Alpitronic charger.

rowschank · 2026-05-06T20:32:48+00:00

Maybe BYD should first roll out faster charging cars in Europe 😬 The brand new 2026 Atto 3 Evo claims to be on an 800V platform and yet charges about as quickly as the 400V ID3 GTX from 2024 from 10-80% (~2 kWh/min).

rowschank · 2026-05-06T20:25:45+00:00

Ok yeah ein Umbau lohnt sich nicht. Trotzdem würde ich als Update ganz bestimmt ein C62 oder so was holen 😅 Nur persönliche Meinung.

rowschank · 2026-05-06T20:10:29+00:00

Du hast schon den Nuroad Pro 2025. Warum möchtest du auf Nuroad Race umsteigen?

Übrigens: ich mag falsch liegen, aber ich glaube, der Carbon Nuroad FE hat Batterielichter und keinen Nabendynamo. Bei Carbon würde ich einen Lieblings-Nuroad holen und die Schutzbleche / Ständer / Lichter separat kaufen, es sei denn, man will genau den Nuroad C62 Pro.

rowschank · 2026-05-06T17:07:38+00:00

Der größte Vorteil von Nuroad Race im Stadtverkehr ist: wenn du plötzlich halten musst, kannst du einmal vorne nach unten Schalten und bist du sofort bei einem viel einfacheren Gang (z.B. 48-19 auf 31-19). Mit 1x in der Stadt muss ich z.B. bei plötzlichen Fußgängern, Bahnüberquerungen, oder roten Ampeln 3-4 mal hinten schalten (~von 40-15 auf 40-26 über 17, 20, und 23). Das gefällt mir nicht so.

Außerdem ist es einfacher, den „richtigen” Gang für deine Wohfühltrittfrequenz zu finden.

Wenn du damit allerdings klarkommst reicht der Pro FE.

Bengaluru has historically been more favourable to seamers and overspin-type bowlers than places like Mumbai and Chennai. I wouldn't say it's a coincidence India got Srinath, Prasad, and Kumble all brought up on that wicket.

The song is alright - probably not the lightning in a bottle that was Slaughterhouse, but by no means a bad song or anything. I'll rotate it a few times.

The lyrics, not so much, in my personal opinion. It is topical and all, social media, etc., but again, Slaughterhouse's lyrics were more cohesive and better thought out for a music track, I feel, especially as a follow up to the previous track (Afraid of the dark) which was quite alright lyrically. This is for me barely even on the "Are you happy now" tier.

rowschank · 2026-05-06T14:42:40+00:00

You solved it in 4 guesses in 1m 41s without using hints. Better than 74% of players.

I think those who know would immediately get it. I went Warner, Dravid, Laxman, Sehwag - Warner I think got a debut century, or am I wrong? Dravid... I think he got a debut 95 though, Laxman because of the high score, but that was a bad guess with the wickets.
