  1. That’s just reminded me I need to feed the dogs their dinner.

  2. I assume this is all part of the new yank overlords masterplan to take over the world but why on earth are they showing the bike 1500 miles away from where the race is?

    All a bit orange Donny and makes no sense.
     
  3. I love it. Very Macau.

    Dont get the NYC rooftop unveil though. What a load of faff.
     
  4. Whats the link between vr46 and macau?
     
  5. Looks shoit.

  6. None AFAIK, but seems very reminiscent of the liveries you see on Macau bikes.

  7. I might have mentioned it once or twice before but I hate purple/mauve/lilac motorbikes, especially where it looks like someone’s had an epileptic fit with the decals all over it.

    *He should do some throwbacks to his old 125/250 bikes instead imo and throw a few stars and stripes on as an afterthought if these special liveries are really necessary.

  8. Each to their own, but I kinda like em. Not sure I’d ride one.

    There are/were also some Moto2 bikes with orange/pink/green liveries that worked (for me) surprisingly well.

  9. Bit weird how they’ve got a caricature of Digi on the faring with Frankie stood behind it too but that may be a bit geeky for some.
     
  10. Er, that would be a no thank you... Looks like some kids in the 80's, loaded up with extra sugar. went mad with highlighter pens.

  12. Could have warned us to wear eye protection! Rather busy…

    Back to COTA,
    Can Aprilia do it again?
     
  13. Apparently Bez is 3 laps away from breaking Jorge Lorenzo's record of consecutive race laps led

    Jorge Lorenzo 103
    Marco Bezzecchi 101
    Casey Stoner 88
    Mick Doohan 59
    Jorge Lorenzo 57

  14. Just caught up on the first session and without not wanting to go down a 93 rabbit hole I think it’s terrible how they let him go out again after that crash and in fp1 ffs

  15. Im guessing that medical cleared him..
    What was sickening was the number of name checks from motogp commentators. Prenez un grip!
    Acosta looking rather good.
     
  16. He was wobbling about clearly concussed, in any other sport he’d have been side lined for weeks yet alone been allowed to go out again imo,
