  1. The problem that the satellite Yamaha has is that it uses the tyres up more under full fuel. Zarco is amazing and he kept it at the front as long as he could, but once the tyres went he was lucky to finish top 10. 

  2. Most of the top riders will try and ride with a broken collarbone. A couple of years ago Jorge Lorenzo broke his collarbone in Free Practice 1 on the Friday at Brno in the Czech Republic. Was flown to see his surgeon in Spain on the Saturday. Had an operation to set it and flew back to Brno. Had to pass the fitness test to ride in the race, part of the test was he had to do 20 press ups. Passed the test, started 14th on the grid and finished 7th. He had to be lifted off the bike at the end of the race. Like you say, a different breed. 

  3. If you get chance to see the opening round of the MotoGP from Qatar yesterday you should give it a watch. A cracking race which sets up the season really well. 18 more races like this would be fantastic. 

  4. So here we go again for day 3. I hope Sam Spinner wins the Stayers. Had a few quid on him ante-post after he won what was the Fixed Brush at Haydock earlier in the season. The ground will be right for him.

    Not sure how to post pictures but I've always thought Adam Pearce resembled the vocalist from The New Radicals.

    Gregg Alexander Bay Bay. 

     

    I'm not seeing it if I'm honest.

  6. I got bummed today like I was swimming in a pool at Michael Barrymore's house. Nothing won but everything finished between 2nd and 6th. 

     

    Cue Card will either fall or finish 2nd tomorrow. I was there when he won the Champion Bumper, you could have heard a pin drop. They should retire him now, he deserves the rest. 

  7. I can't be having Altior or Douvan today. Altior was lame 2 days ago and Douvan hasn't run for a year. Min for me. 

     

    The rest of mine today are flights of fancy and I won't bother you with them
