Yes, lack of transport, accommodation and spectator facilities would all need to be overcome

You beat me to it, was just about to post this. I doubt it will be a street circuit, I live here and Adelaide couldn't host it without massive (and costly) changes. The Bend is much more likely, and the owners said even before they built it their ambition was to host MotoGP and/or F1.

Do you know if they use the two different oils in the two bikes, or is it a sponsorship arrangement only?

If you haven't seen it already, Material World by @edconway.bsky.social has an excellent chapter on silicon (whole book was an eye opener tbh)
I can also recommend the Acquired podcast episode on TSMC, which covers silicon development from early days to 2021 when the episode ran.

Most of us still call it as MG, and we also still call T4 Honda Corner (sorry Jack)

Citrix forgot to tell you CVE-2025–6543 has been used as a zero day since May 2025 A look into what action Netscaler customers need to take ASAP.

New by me - Citrix have forgot to tell you a zero day was under exploitation earlier this year to successfully backdoor devices at "critical" organisations, and no vendor released technical details.

More to come, including on CVE-2025-7775 too.

If you are an avid MotoGP fan and want more in-depth content than generic race reports, independents like yourself and your @paddockpasspodcast.com colleagues is the way to go. Keep up the good work, we appreciate it.

If you are over 6ft tall, the extra leg room seats on planes should be available for free. I shouldn't be charged extra to have the same level of comfort as the rest of the passengers just because I have long legs. It's discrimination.
