👑 😬 Aye, there's the rub with Moto2: You can't be sure. So few similarities to MotoGP it's like selecting a future consort from a 3" miniature portrait: Might end up with beautiful & intelligent Eleanor of Aquitaine. Or ugly, fat, ill-tempered, and yes... foul smelling... Caroline of Brunswick 😧

😠 You've been promised 'equal to factory team support', but only Sharkboy & Binder are rocking TMD's at 1st GP. Which don't help as KTM apparently STILL can't be arsed to copy Ducati F/R Wt %... so '25 shaping up as a colossal fucking waste. Time to sue like a bastard. Or wait. Still early lad 😉😠

🤔 Odd, never noticed that second definition before 😉 👍 quandary: noun 1) a state of perplexity or doubt 😕 2) a delightful state of having two sublime options 😍

🔥 🍞 Should be so lucky, mate 🥵 300 BHP (223.7 kW) = what's consumed as useful work. But to get that they burn 1034.5 BHP (771.4 kW) fuel equivalent at MotoGP thermal efficiency. That they're being 'toasted' = As far as I'll go. Haven't the heart to convert 'Meat Cooker' to Rotisserie Chickens 🐔

😀 Great pic, mate 👍 And a dodgy joke: "Old Racer finds himself at the Pearly Gates with St. Peter, who then leads him to where a lone #93 is tearing up Heaven's Short Track. "Damn, how did it happen?" the racer asked. "Relax, it's just God" said St Peter. "He only THINKS he's Marc Marquez" 🌩️ 😉

🥵 Buriram Weather The Circuit lies in 'The Tropics', so more likely to experience Tropical Weather than, say... Kent. Tropical Weather may vary from Sweltering & Muggy... to Unspeakably Hot & Pissing Down like a horse on a flat rock. So adjust your attire & drink plenty of Gin. There's a good lad.

😉 👍 Say it again: NOBODY in MotoGP reminds me of Gary Nixon more than Martin. His success has all come from brains, balls, and race results. And, like Nixon, that regimen has made him fast as fuck and tougher than a three-dollar steak 😈

👊 😠 "Kill the body and the head will die" ~ Hunter S. Thompson An utterly corrupt head soon becomes invulnerable, leaving the hollow pyramid its resting upon as its only weakness. This was ALL paid for with inflated TSLA stock, making that not only a target, but the only rational one remaining 🪦

😬 "The fuck?" ~ Mozart, after being assigned '2nd Triangle' following his school orchestra audition. How will Enea cope with the KTM? He has a golden right wrist but finds himself on a bike whose sole engine map seems to be 'Fires of Hell'... .. making it '2nd Triangle' for a throttle virtuoso 😠

🤔 1-3: Brought ketamine-laced apples, a chainsaw, and one of my 'the fuck should I know which one he is?' kids to work. 2: Set fire to my office and the kid. Counting as one since sequence still a smidge hazy. 3. Tossed white fire-MEN a few Nazi salutes, but ONLY to show they're in 'mein herz' 😧

🏆 🐎 💰 Have every intention of continuing to refer to Nicolò as Seabiscuit. But I confess "Seabiscuit by a Nose" captured the essence of the thing far better than "Seabiscuit wins by 20 lengths" 😈 Still, Trifecta of Bulega on the nose + Iannone & Baustista boxed 2nd/3rd is better than stealing 😉

1/ 🤔 So why didn't Fuel Flow restrictions better balance a WSBK field with no RPM Limits? Because it's not how much they give you, but how much of that you use. The late Dr Gordon Blair investigated almost all of the 1st/2nd Gen MotoGP engines. Those with CVRS = BHP stalled @ 15K RPM (16K with FF).

😵‍💫 What's wrong with this picture? Easy. There's not a single motorcycle brand shown on-screen. And SSP, not SBK, is the money class for manufacturers. Yamaha sells 10X 900 triples (of all types) for each R1. SSP is shackled to an org-body that couldn't flog cheap beer on a hot day. Jesus wept 😠

Great peek in the pantry: How meals are made & butcher's bills paid 👍 747-8F burns 27,660 L/hr of nasty kerosene (may as well be liquefied Pandas). Dorna = 4X 747-8F + 4X for rest of circus. If only our Fave Cafe winked when explaining why 2T not on the menu... at least we'd be in on the joke 😉

🚀 "In Thrust, We Trust" Brilliant. Can't put four cylinders of power to the ground, so starve two for fuel & send more to the other pair. Exhaust thrust vector aimed at CG for stability. And were I a wicked man I could imagine a mech one-time cam shift 👍 Grumman Avenger getting some JATO love 😍
