To be fair Erik, I don’t think Bulega was seriously trying to pull a Capirossi/Schumacher but just trying to aggressively make a pass but a single long-lap sure looks lenient. Hopefully these last three laps will be reassuringly static and boring 😁

I’m rooting for Toprak after Mr Bulega got all Italian in the sprint race (to be honest, I’d have been rooting for Toprak anyway) 🇹🇷

That’s a first for me…. ☺️

Casey didn’t run into many other riders but remember his 2006 season with LCR? The crash-damage bill must have made Lucio’s eyes water that year

As Ducati did with Fermin and look at him now. I admit I thought they’d jumped the gun after he had that great winning streak in ‘23 but once again, the talent spotters in that paddock proved they know their stuff

And don’t forget that Marc M did his fair share of crazy crashing, poor Wilairot getting rammed in a warm-down lap.
I really don’t know how Moreira will go but I can’t help thinking that the very smart folk on the paddock know far more than me - Fabio Q did even less in Moto2 and now is a champ 🤷🏻‍♂️

If RFK Jr really believed that we shouldn't trust experts, he should fly around in a plane built by people who did their own research

My colleagues & I have taken a huge gamble to set up @thenerve.news We’re trying to build a new independent publication from the ground up. Social media is our only distribution for now.

Sharing this article in your networks would make a huge difference. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

Does this news mean that it’s not a collarbone fracture but a shoulder blade? That’s kind of worrying, considering Marc’s recent history. Or am I being a bit of a fanny in my concerns?

I assume it was you old chap; the question was ‘would you prefer to be locked in a closet with a clown or a badger?’ (I think). Both hosts chose the clown option, clearly never having read ‘It’ 🤡 😱

@matoxley.bsky.social in the latest OxBom pod, I think you confused badgers with moles in the answer to @guyanderson.bsky.social question. Other than that, everything was brilliantly fantabulous 😁.

I’m guessing that Marc won’t be too critical, as Bez seemed to do pretty much what Marc did yesterday to Rins; sucked in and couldn’t quite slow enough. Rare as well to see front wheel vs rear and the front came out upright (until it met the gravel)

“Oh no he isn’t!” 😄 (ok, hindsight and all that)

He’s NOT the messiah, he’s a very naughty boy!! 🙄

Thank you 🙏

Very true. Am I right in thinking that both MM93 and FB63 have 2026 contracts tied up but not 2027 yet?

It rather looks like Motegi was a perfect storm of bike changes, track and some rediscovered confidence. It’s got to be so tough understanding what’s happened but last weekend sure looks like another false dawn

Oh jeez, let’s hope ‘someone’ proves to be wrong 🤞

But whatever the thing is that you need a battery to power, it’s name would be a great handle for Sr Viñales when he retires and takes up a guest residency at an Ibiza club as their celebrity DJ 🤓

In a word, no. Sorry 😔

Listening to Don Wildman’s American History Hits series and this is the next episode in line but even before I listen (so maybe prematurely) I can’t help thinking that this topic is a work in progress. 😊

I hope so too. If they’re using F1 as a guide, most F1 fans won’t know the names of F2/3 drivers until they’re being talked of as the next F1 recruits. Most MotoGP fans know the Moto2/3 riders already, watch their races and are invested in the series’. Time will tell

The best example I’ve seen for a while of a word salad. I can only assume the writer thought they were being profound…… better luck next time buddy

Most questions seem to be asking why Hegseth is doing this. I think it looks like him proving that he can. Nothing more. It’s the equivalent of a Commanding Officer keeping his regiment on parade while he drinks coffee in his office. Because he can. It makes him look so weak and needy

The late great Andrew Wheeler told me that he hesitated to recommend Japan as a holiday destination, he couldn’t live there for an extended period and yet he absolutely loved visiting. He loved the food and said he always felt welcomed but wasn’t sure the locals would be the same if he moved there 🤔

Hi - wave when you take off and I’ll wave back! (Not really, I’ll be asleep by then 😴) 😄

They have a UK site I just found but only MX helmets so far. I’ve a Sena flip front (hardly used yet) so not really sure why I’m eyeing up new lids but it certainly looks more interesting than my attempted joke about a sixth dimension…. I’ll get my coat

Are there European outlets? It looks an American company

I read about these (I think) in a recent bike mag. MCN maybe? Sounds pretty interesting. Pricey but then what price protection?
