Cell signal here at NCBike sucks so I haven’t watched anything. I’m hoping to catch the races on the way to CMP.

Wonder if that factored into Fabio's decision.

 

[motopreserve]

Wow. Big news. Guess you can’t blame him for wanting to get off the carousel after that many years of the traveling circus.

Been quiet around here. This past weekend had some sweet racing mixed with mayhem.

Finally got a chance to catch up with Moto2 this week, and that championship is getting interesting. Nice to see the first American pull off 3 consecutive podiums since Hayden in 2006! Man, it’s been a long time…

Decent interview with Roberts on the Paddock Pass Podcast this week. He is a bit less ‘surfer dude’ than I remember from a few years ago (although of course he IS an actual surfer dude). He pulled off 2 great performances at COTA and Jerez.

Yeah, I’m way behind. I was on the road for 12 days (all bike related) and then right back into a busy work week. Hoping to get caught up to MotoGP and WSBK this coming week.

I figured. That’s why I didn’t want to put any spoilers in there. But it’s well worth the catch up when you get a chance.

Hope the bike days were fun and safe!

You guys have been totally polite!

The commonly-accepted rule in another forum I belong to is 48-72 hours. If one of us hasn’t caught up, we acknowledge we’ve become a backmarker, see the blue flag and get out of the way of the conversation.
