I got lucky. When I moved I now no longer need a phone line or broadband as my neighbour lets me piggy back of his Virgin Mesh system. I now get faster speed than I had when I paid for it!

I just hope he doesn’t hurt himself again but he’s a grown man and makes his own choices. One thing is for sure he will crash again as it’s his way of finding the limit. Yes, I briefly registered with crash but the comments appear to be from a bunch of teenagers using mummy’s iPhone ! |

I was thinking that his ability whether you like him or not, is outstanding however he tests the limits by crashing so I wonder will he be able to still do that and without any consequence? Be very interesting to see as well as how far on the top riders have moved on. One thing is for certain it’s going to be a good year of racing. |

" One thing is for certain it’s going to be a good year of racing."
It certainly looks that way, 2020 was an outstanding season and 2021 could be even better.
I wonder what odds you'd have got that JZ05 would be leading the championship after 2 rounds?
I was not a huge MM93 fan, but had to respect the mans' talent and ability to ride a bike 'beyond the limit', watching him ride was always a pleasure, but his domination did lead to the championship becoming a bit stale and a race for 2nd place, then I saw a documentary on BT Sport about his life after 'the accident' and was impressed with his devotion to recovery and found him to be a likeable and funny guy.
It was one event in that film that changed my mind about him, where he was talking with his physio and said he could ride a lap of any GP track in his head in 'real time'. So his physio challenged him to ride Sepang and would time him. When MM said he crossed the finish line the physio said something like 'that was too long for a fast lap' and MM replied deadpan 'it was raining!'.

Just see what progress KTM have made since they employed Pedrosa as a test rider. Someone with Dovi's talent and knowledge could be a big boost for Aprilia's efforts. |

So MM 93 is back this weekend, any predictions? I’m not a huge fan but I’d like to see him back and see how he does, he is already down playing his return, however is that genuine doubt or is he setting expectations for himself?
I’m looking forward to seeing how this plays out. Should be a good weekend’s racing that’s for sure.

Not a fan of MM for various reasons. Wasn’t a fan of Doohan either but would admit that bar his early injury he surely would have had 7 championships in a row. Back to 2021, however good the racing is am going to boycott it in the future if the presenters get any worse. M Laverty & N Hodgson excepted. It’s the ones who commentate on the other classes, I don’t want to hear that things are getting ‘spicy’ or that a rider is prowling and lurking  !!! Ffs |

Ffs Agreed on the commentary, sometimes it's literally drivel to fill time then something actually happens and they're miles away, really annoying. |

When I think about it, it’s when I watch red bull rookies. Greg Haines is it and Rachael someone? Keith H used to jar a bit but came to agree with a lot he said, Julian R I won’t miss though and at least Keith had history. Also the main presenter looks like they have been dragged through a hedge backwards. |

I think one of the best guest commentators they had on was Ben Spies, the year after he stopped racing in GP I think. His knowledge of the bikes and the set up was fascinating to listen to, plus like Hodgy and Laverty, as a racer he knew what they were going to do next and as such his comments were spot on. Also like listening to Spalders during the pre season testing sessions, for in depth analysis of the tech side of things. |
