You know

In the races he's finished, Alonso has finished in the points 50% of the time.

That's 3/6, if you want the actual numbers.

Are lance scored points in 7 of the 13 races he finshed. He's also the only man outside the top 3 teams to score a podium. That's future WDC stuff right there.

I don't understand why people assume Lewis is a wannabe rapper I do understand, it's because he's black and all black people are apparently the same. Considering the arty shots of him with pianos and his Princess Dianna poem I'm expecting sub-Villeneuve ballads

You know what, you're right. If it ends up being a blues album w/ Eddie Jordan I'm buying it too.

If you are not expecting something mental to happen like both Ferraris taking each other and some poor other sod out with them, or some sort of other comedy failure during the race leading to a weird as all hell podium, then you have no soul.

There's no point in watching MotoGP. First because bikes are dumb and people who like bikes smell bad. Second because Dovizioso won't win the race regardless of what happens to Marquez

Although I’m not adverse to watching short clips of overtakes, I can’t get into MotoGP because I can’t tell the difference between most of the bikes or riders. Mr LC can obviously and I’m sure it’s very lovely if you are a bike person but I have never really cared that much about bikes, despite having ridden pillion on various bikes pretty much every day since I was 14. Also I’ve spent a huge amount of my life living in or around three of the major UK bike hubs The Snake pass, cat and fiddle, and sherburn in elmet (bikers cafe).

AMA the many many seriously injured or dead power rangers who have managed to ride Kawasaki ninjas into walls, trees, ditches, hedgerows or over the edge of cliffs that I have seen. One time one of them managed to come out of a side road and slammed sideways into the bus I was on, leaving a perfect impression imbedded in it. (That guy was fine although people did have to hold the bus driver back after the rider accused him of being at fault)

If Tim and Eric ever parodied Dovi they'd probably call him André Doves.

It's extremely unlikely to happen but Dovi has had better race pace than qualifying this year and Marc is sharing the front row with Zarco and Iannone. The ingredients are there for something to happen but it's going to be near impossible.

It's really loving bizarre how the Italians have a habit of making poo poo difficult for race day. Late career Rossi has the the same issues in qualifying.

Bottas takes pole, Vettel / Raikkonen next up, Hamilton DNF in Quali

Betcha since Hamilton already has the championship and starts last he just limps it around the track all day tomorrow?

Mir is a freak. I thought Marquez was a once in a generation talent, but if Mir, Vinales and Marquez all get on the same grid with comparable machinery that season will be spicy as gently caress.

Wouldn't Mir bump to moto2 first?

Also, so, Dovi has to win, and Maq has to be 13th or lower, correct? Here's to hoping

Mir will go to moto2 but it's not specifically required. Jack Miller went straight from moto3 to MotoGp for example (despite being a MotoGP winner, he arguably should have done a moto2 season before moving up. His results are pretty ordinary)

Marquez has to get 11th or lower and Dovi has to win.

I'm having a hard time seeing Vinales on the same level of Marquez given how badly he's gone from looking to dominate the season to eating poo poo. I'll wait to see how Mir does in Moto2 before judging further.

The Yamaha is really that bad and Vinales doesn't have Rossi's experience to ride through the pain without losing confidence. If they can give him a bike that doesn't suck, he'll absolutely take it to Marquez. Whether he can handle Marquez psychologically over the course of a season remains to be seen.
