Meh, looks like a pyjamas top.

Only doing the accents for you Zarco is definitely a very good rider, and his single lap pace is immense, and all that on a satellite bike! He needs to work on his race strategy a bit though, every time he's upfront he seems to get carried away and forgets all about tire management, something that he's normally known for being really good at. So in the end, he's getting played by the other riders who just led him lead, and then easily overtake him once he's got nothing left. I'm really keen to see him on a factory-spec bike, whether Yamaha or any other, next season, and hope he plays it smarter in the future, could well be a title contender then.

Dovi - Márquez - Rossi podium. Feel sorry for Zarco, but he literally burned his tires off, still has a lot to learn. Also, wtf happened to Lorenzo? It looked like some sort of mechanical failure... Márquez doing the usual Márquez stuff; it is mad how he seems to defy the laws of physics, anyone else would have crashed after that contact with Zarco's knee, he manages to somehow save it

What a finish, what a last corner!!! Dovi!

Why not?

well you got your answers, it's pretty common in Swabia and Austria, while the rest of Germany finds it odd. Which is more or less a general rule for everything else, too

Hehe, it was planned, you reckon? That dog is really lovely, haha. Nah, to be honest, I've always seen her as an old, lonely women far away from home, so I've always been nice and wasn't really annoyed, as she wasn't too pushy and knew when to stop once she noticed I'm really not interested. Still find it amusing how anyone would think it's possible to spark someone's interest by annoying them during their lunch break

Granted, I know her and we've had small talk a few times at the same restaurant in the past; she always brings her dog with her and I like to pet him, but I didn't know she was a Jehovah's Witness, and didn't expect her to suddenly go on a full apocalyptic mode Just told her I've got no interest in being saved and don't really care about the world ending either, that was enough for her to change the topic

For me, that would be WEC, as I prefer car racing over motorbike racing in general, love endurance and the genuine racing action and absolutely nothing beats 24 hours of Le Mans for me. That said, MotoGP comes close and is very entertaining. I still like F1, even if it's gotten boring and lacks charisma, but with GT racing on the rise and providing entertainment across so many different series, it's not really a big loss, personally.

Yamaha wants to keep Zarco that bad, they even consider giving him a factory-spec bike next season, haha. For that to happen though, they'll need to find a new satellite team and make sure Zarco signs for them... I, for one, would be happy to see Zarco riding and winning with KTM bike next year

Touché. It's not that bad though, I had Krautspätzle mit Kasseler before, could be worse haha.

No, it's pretty common in some regions in South Germany and in Austria, especially the one with sauerkraut. They also often add some smoked meat into the mix.

Absolutely brilliant by Zarco, good to see him continuing where he left off last season, beats the ten year old record too! Also, three satellite bikes in top 5 We'll see what happens tomorrow, but wouldn't it be great to have a championship contender from an independent team? That said, if Zarco continues to ride like that, I bet Yamaha will regret offering that new contract to Viñales too early...

12 Hours of Sebring is currently on, if anyone's interested. https://imsatv.imsa.com

It will be strange to see MotoGP without Rossi and his travelling circus one day, hehe. I normally don't like the idea of legends failing to retire on time and sticking around for too long, but he still looks competitive enough and clearly has fun riding, I just hope Yamaha is good enough this year. Have you watched the free practice today? Dovi on top for both of them, but the whole grid looks very tight, I think there's less than a second between the top 10... Should be a good season. I'm contemplating going to the Thai GP this year (subject to ticket prices), never been to a MotoGP race before, so it would be great.

9 days to go!

They have quite a history in F1, both as a constructor and as engine supplier, but it all was before my time mostly, and all their spells weren't very successful... I agree about their road cars being sleek and fashionable; always had a soft spot for Alfas despite their (perceived) reliability issues. My dad owned an Alfa Romeo Montreal in the 70s before he traded it for an Iso Grifo haha, both sexy cars...

Haha I love how Sauber looks this year: Sexy! But in general yes, I prefer older ones too.

For me, it's Jordan 191.
