@natjarvis100@B3ZQU3Z Bayliss was not a wildcard. He was an injury replacement rider. These are different things; ‘wildcard’ is an extra entry on top of regular riders, replacement/substitute is not extra, rather instead of. Make sure you fact check before responding to something!
@triolor@SkySport@triolor I appreciate your work! I’ve not seen any MotoGP journalists talking about moto2/moto3 contracts regularly, and as someone really interested in them I’m glad I’ve found your account! Any ideas of who Pramac might go for?
@denkmit That’s what I’ve assumed. To be honest, they have two decent enough riders for next year, Kelso being quick but not great in the battle, Fernandez exactly the opposite. Hope the team have a better season!
@DreHarrison101 Do any other tracks have 3 chicanes? Do any other tracks have 3, all with very very poor run off to slow the bikes and stop going back onto the racing line? Then there’s the problems you’ve mentioned too. The track isn’t suitable currently, regardless of the class. Clearly!
@DreHarrison101 Poole crash, that’s racing. You’ll never stop that, regardless of safety protocols. What you can stop, is people sliding into an oncoming field of riders. That’s down to the layout of the track. The problem is the track, surely you agree there?
@DreHarrison101 Thoughts on Enea’s crash? Can’t really see how that’s the bikes fault! Could happen in any class, very lucky he wasn’t struck by another bike there. The circuit is clearly the problem!
Insane stat of the day: Arsenal rank 19th in England for income from transfers since 2020/21. For context: Watford are 18th, Manchester City U21’s are 23rd.

@denkmit@denkmit , will you get any info about Frankie’s leathers opening during his fall? Clearly not intentional, but that could either be a manufacturer problem or a user error surely. It’s the kind of fall you’d want to make sure they stayed closed!
@RestIsFootball@GaryLineker@alanshearer@MicahRichards@alexaljoe @FIFACWC I know it’s not related, but can you squeeze in a quick chat about Brentford? Lost their manager of 7 years, lost one of their main CM’s who played 34 PL games last year for pennies, and are very likely to see their top scorer and creator leave too. Are they facing Relegation?
@DreHarrison101 The only hard evidence we could ever get is an admission, but that’s very unlikely to happen. Alex has had (on maybe up to 3 weekends now) at least equal race pace than Marc. It’s quite naive to think racing against your own brother doesn’t impact a rider at all tbh
@DreHarrison101 Don’t think anyone is saying Alex is letting Marc win - at all. The opinion I’ve seen is that they race against each other differently to others; a very common thing, just look at riders from the VR46 academy - they admit to it too! Not really ‘nasty work’ to agree, is it?
@BenHockingF1 Ben! Please can you guys have a serious (somewhat) discussion on Alonso this season? Is this actually the start of the decline that we thought we’d never see? I know it’s funny to say he’s just phoning it in until next year etc etc, but realistically what is going on?
@denkmit How safe is an air fence? Like is it as safe as you can get in terms of a barrier, or is there other options that are more expensive so less used? Always worries me when the rider follows the bike into the air fence
