I didn’t watch it live, I watched the replay where you can select which race to watch.

Another go at a textile one-piece but this actually looked quite decent.

If it’s as flexible as it looks with the protection of leather then the sidecar crews will be all over it as the passengers are always looking for as much flexibility as possible. I have seen a few versions of Kevlar suits over the years but they always seem to go back to the leather option
Looks alright doesn't it? The earlier attempts always looked a bit half-arsed but this one seemed proper, at least it did with an inflated airbag that hadn't ripped the zip open at the front. Waterproof, too, and lighter, according to their blurb.

It had commentary at 15:30 when I started watching it, I used the website rather than watching it by app on the telly.

A brilliant first race,right up until the last half dozen laps. There's no stopping the dude,he's just a walking record breaker.

Damn fine racing. I just managed to finish watching this morning. Toprak's skills are on the jaw dropping level,I hope the BMW doesn't stifle that.

I see half the field agreed to dnf so John McPhee could blag a single point. He's not exactly setting the world on fire,is he? Could be worse,I suppose,he could be his fellow Scot Taz.

What was the big Scott Redding announcement,did I miss it?

His overtakes are incredible. Still waiting for the announcement.
