    Sort of forgot about those when I moved it here. You gotta be extra careful transferring from the Wam.

    Having watched Austria 2, all I have to say is: What the actual fuck is happening in Iwata?

    Their bikes keep trying to kill their riders. Quality control seems at an all-time low.

    Maverick jumping off his bike at 140 mph was something else.

    I've done it at ~70, but 140!? Yeah. Nuts.

    So let's review:

    Out of four riders, we have three blown motors, a fourth that started on fire after a collision with a wall, three sessions that included brake failures (Vinales' recent one being the most obvious, but both Quartararo and Vinales have complained about running wide due to the brake lever being like a clutch lever and just traveling to the grip), one clutch failure.

    Quartararo is insanely lucky. He's the only Yamaha rider who hasn't had an engine removed from his allocation, with Vinales missing two now. Maverick has to finish eight races on three used engines. Pit lane start: Inevitable. With Marquez cockily lawn-darting himself out of the short season, Yamaha had a wide open window and have seemingly pissed it away. I can't see them winning the championship at this point.

    Don't know what it is about the Espargaro brothers that rubs me the wrong way, but I laughed so hard at the race finish. Would have been just fine with Miller taking it (that guy's got his shit together), but also dug how it went down. Rins and Nakagami got absolutely fucked by the restart. Feel sorry for those guys. On the other hand, Pol and Miller got fucked last week by that restart, so it is what it is. You'd think by this point these guys would leave a fresh set of softs aside in case of a red flag. ESPECIALLY at a track that's constantly trying to kill riders like the Red Bull Ring.

    Five races in, and the series leader is on 70 points. Nobody wants to win this thing.

    Holy shit. Dude just climbed off - at 140. I swear, bike racers and rally car drivers have the biggest balls around. Oh yeah - and those squirrel suit lunatics. Huge nuts.
