He looked like a mix of the Imperial Guards from Star Wars, the robot from The Black Hole and Liz Hurley in Bedazzled.

I'm not as interested in F1 as I used to be but this was interesting. Can't remember having seen such a raw insight into the spanner-work from a team.

Ignore the crappy thumbnail.

I thought it had Mandlebars for a moment

It sort of reminded me of a Katana.

Draw your hasty conclusion accordingly!

Perhaps four if one was still on the bike.

Gresini shared various bits of footage of them 'delivering' Marquez to the Factory Ducati garage after the race on Sunday.

Noticed these three Ducati fuel tanks in one of the clips. They seem to be three different configurations, thought it was mildly interesting.

I don't have one but I did have a fairly brief demo on one of the new ones recently.

Thought it was superb even on a short ride. Lots better than the earlier ones, much preferred the front end.
I'm thinking about getting one in the Spring.

NORA used to run Superlite races at some of their SM rounds.



They were very cool things - Fireblade engines were most popular I think.

Yep. Might not be close, though.

Looking forward to watching on Tuesday - lots of changes.

Youngest daughter had a shift at her new-ish (3 and a bit weeks?) job today - just her and one other working today who'd set out, in the staff-room, a birthday banner, helium balloon, present and a card that had been signed by everyone who works there (some of which my daughter's not even met).

A fair bit of self-justifying nonsense being talked there... Yeah, agreed. Also: “For me, it’s not correct. He is not the teammate [of Martin]. Didn't he keep saying he'd be racing for himself to get third & wouldn't be helping Peco? Also 2: thought Peco behaved perfectly after the race. Takes ...

They got the wing wrong on that one too!

Colours look nice, yellow one particularly.

The wing on the left hand side of the tank needs to come off the back of the A.

Brown sugar?

Well, Demerara

Took me a minute.

Definitely pre-arranged - it was one of his crew I believe.

Aleix next to Aleix

Though the Aleix Moto3 bike on the cool-down lap was a nice touch.

Could you imagine F1 allowing something like that...??!!

So, tomorrow then.

That was the ironic bit

It looks like it's recoiling from something,
