Top tip for Elon Musk, Sam Altman and the other A.I. CEOs: if your model suggests building a military robot called a T-800, pull the plug immediately and place anyone called Sarah Connor into protective custody. That should do it 😮‍💨

I know Manu still leads by significantly more than a full win but if Izan can hunt him down à la Moreira last year, maybe it will go some way to understanding why no MotoGP team took a chance on Manu. #Moto2 #MotoGP

Interesting that yesterday’s #MotoGP sprint and the Moto3 race had multiple track warnings (Joel Esteban, take a bow) yet a third into this Moto2 race, there’s been only one. It must be something about the bikes’ behaviour? I can’t believe Moto2 riders are more careful @denkmit.bsky.social thoughts?

@andyburnham.bsky.social why not limit political donations from individuals to the same amount as they pay in income tax to the UK treasury? That could be illuminating

Martin D @motopodmartin.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

Wow…. just wow. Possibly the best Moto2 race I’ve ever seen. Certainly the best I can remember. And there have been some epic ones in the past. Wow-wow-wow!!! 👏

@denkmit.bsky.social TNT Sports (specifically Sylvain) just said that there are no ride height device use this weekend. I know the holeshot devices are gone now but is that a total ban on front and rear for this race? He said it’s the same for PI

I know this doesn’t necessarily confirm the rumours about Viñales’ early departure from Tech 3 but it certainly feeds the flames 😳

@motomatters.com Patritalia say their €2.5b bid for Ducati is genuine. They also say that all Ducati race teams would have all-Italian lineups. Given the existing contracts and available Italian talent (most of it at Aprilia!) I assume that bit is PR twaddle?

First England win a great game in a great way, then Belgium shove Trump’s attempted interference up his jacksie and now this! Can the week get any better?! It’s no surprise though; if he loses, Farage will slink away claiming he was ‘done in by the establishment’.

My great sadness is that the Tories shouldn’t complain about a Burnham coronation as they did the same several times. Labour look equally hypocritical after they demanded a GE at each Tory PM change. So it reinforces the ‘they’re all the same’ mantra. That said, I hope it is a seamless handover

Martin D @motopodmartin.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

Rideheight devices are history. Great job #MotoGP commission. This we’ll make the starts at Assen interesting; considering several riders have never known different in the premier class, I hope they get extra start practises. This should make @matoxley.bsky.social and @denkmit.bsky.social smile 😊

Why is the Sprint race podium so far away from the paddock? Seems a strange choice #CzechGP

Ah, in attempting to reply politely to @fogboundfrog.bsky.social and he/she has blocked replies. So I can’t. My point (in case they read this) isn’t that Nazis and Soviets believed the same things but that they behaved very, very similarly, particularly towards dissension. That’s all.

Martin D @motopodmartin.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

Let’s give him a chance, eh? I think he has bigger fish to fry and even such negativity as your post can’t extinguish the glimmer of hope I’ve woken to today. 🕯️

@andyburnham.bsky.social congratulations and thank you for taking the punt. The realistic among us don’t expect you to be able to fix all our ills immediately but I value your communication skills and you have allowed me to feel some hope, for the first time in quite a long time. 🌹

Martin D @motopodmartin.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

I’m going to guess that this is WSBK being the testbed for MotoGP again; Adelaide looks very unlikely to happen due to local resistance to the necessary changes so this looks like the next best option. But maybe they’ll keep PI until 2029 as a backup?

Martin D @motopodmartin.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

@motogp.com I really don’t like to complain about something as trivial as a pole time guessing game but unless I fundamentally misunderstand how time is measured, I think you’re wrong 🤔

@thecrimeagents.bsky.social a question inspired by Sir Ollie Robbins’ sacking. If a senior police officer is sacked from post without being guilty of a crime but due to ‘a loss of confidence’ by a political leader, are they removed from their appointment or actually removed from the police force?

Martin D @motopodmartin.bsky.social · 13/04/2026

Is it just me or does this unbelievably grotesque image of Agent Orange cosplaying as Jesus actually show him laying his hand on the head of a poorly @jonstewart2028.bsky.social ?

Martin D @motopodmartin.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

I posted this (borrowed) image a year ago today. And it’s even more relevant now than it was then. Please America, even if you can’t remove Agent Orange, come November you can neuter him so even if you hate the Dems, just vote for them this once. Please 🙏 #dumpTrump

Martin D @motopodmartin.bsky.social · 06/04/2026

The really scary thing is that Trump’s Easter Sunday post was from a sober man. And who the hell are these 30-35% who still approve of him? I get that a few tech/oil billionaires are making bank on the back of his madness but there’s aren’t many of them. And I can’t see anyone else benefitting

Donald Trump generic image being angry. And probably incoherent.

Martin D @motopodmartin.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

@restisclassified.bsky.social a shame to hear such jingoism from David McCloskey talking about the Nightstalkers “the best helicopter pilots in the world”. You can say “best pilots in the US military” or “elite pilots” but not ‘the world ’ because how do you know? Don’t become a Hegseth. 🙄

Top piece by Ed Conway on Sky News; the first chart shows the oil price drop (in black) when Trump posted about ‘promising talks’ on 23rd March and the resulting surge in trading (red). The second shows a spike in sales 15 minutes BEFORE Trump’ post. Represents around $580m. Someone’s making bank

@denkmit.bsky.social it would appear that the home straight is wholly unholey which is nice 😊

@thecrimeagents.bsky.social thank you for addressing my comment re police ‘auditors’; it was a new phrase to me and I hadn’t realised it signified just these troublemakers, assuming it meant all filming of police activity.

010

Martin D @motopodmartin.bsky.social · 15/03/2026

So sorry to bring F1 into #MotoGP chat but watching my 2nd F1 race since mid-90s and it’s so weird; like they have a PlayStation cheat codes they can use to fly past the car ahead. And clearly, it’s 90% car, 10% driver. So dull I think I’ll watch another old episode of CSI 🥱

270

Martin D @motopodmartin.bsky.social · 09/03/2026

@thecrimeagents.bsky.social re 9th March Q&A ep: I get Andy’s frustration about auditors but there’s a place for filming police activity, though the examples I’m thinking about are mainly in the US; Minnesota, George Floyd are the obvious ones. Like most things, it has its place but can be misused.

I get the feeling Manu is quite happy with that 👏 #Moto2

@xather.bsky.social I just saw your post about Martin’s Navratilova but seem unable to reply - and it seems Sloane Elysbeth has blocked me. Please (if you don’t mind) pass my apology to her and explain that I accept I was far too hasty to respond through my misplaced belief in what she’d said.

Trump is an odious conman, a bully and like most bullies, a coward. He doesn’t deserve to be mentioned alongside these British service men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice after the US invoked NATO’s Article 5. You called, we came willingly. Trump, you’re a disgrace

Dear America, if I understand it correctly a Supreme Court justice can only be removed by impeachment/conviction by both houses of Congress and this has never happened, coming closest in 1804. So why the hell aren’t this SCOTUS showing more spine? Agent Orange can’t touch them, surely?

Martin D @motopodmartin.bsky.social · 14/01/2026

Agent Orange and his apparent new-found awareness of the power of the US military resembles a man with erectile dysfunction who’s just taken his first dose of Viagra. He just wants to screw EVERYONE 🫣
