Spot-on, mate 👍 1. Box strategy Δ = chance of gettng balked > chance of a clean lap. 2. Announcer focus = box strategy drama, like awful F1 tire swaps. 3. Crafar = one-legged man at an ass-kicking contest. 4. 'Morbidoed' = part of the MotoGP lexicon, i.e, "Fucker Morbidoed me on my fast lap" 😠

😠 In a bold show of resolve, the MotoGP grid will act as one to protest the 2027 schedule changes: 'We have our dignity to protect" voiced one anonymous rider "so when they herd us like castrated livestock onto the cattle cart for the Rider Parade, we'll still wave.. but less enthusiastically 🤨

🤔 Raise the bridge, or lower the river? Marc's often slower in RH bends than LH bends (RH/LH delta = less for Shark-Boy & Bezz). And T11 is hugely influenced by braking, so suicidally late on the brakes in + slower out = quicker lap for MM93 while sparing his 1/2 r-shoulder. Any data from T7? 😈

🇯🇵 🥰 Motegi has, by far, the best damn gravel on the calender. And being Japan, you know it's not by chance but by specification. Nice change from the usual: "Miguel, take the truck to the quarry and bring back some rocks. What size? Between a fat hamster and a skinny mouse. And nothing too fancy"

Note how tank wings, originally created to help the rider lock himself in place while hard on the brakes - between thighs, wrists, arse & feet - also help during cornering, when riders like Jorge Martin hang off so far they're almost sliding off the motorcycle #aprilia #MotoGP

🤔 Simming it up: Grid remains behind Ducati in computer sims of race bike dynamics, so as the season progresses, Ducati can model and adapt quicker to address any weak points. You can still beat 'em, but you'd better start the year with a big advantage... or the bastards will just run you down 😬
