I'm on about racing news as opposed to actual news.
But anyway yes a marshal did have a heart attack and die this morning.

Sure that's why right-wing facist hate groups are in such proliferation on Facebook and Reddit. That would also explain why Facebook was used so effectively by Russian spam bots to aid in the misinforming of middle Americans who were duped into voting for President Hairspray. Right?

You only have to look at Zuckerberg, he's a robot, maybe he was made in the same factory in the USA that makes those lifelike ... dolls.

Rossi showed again whos the top guy in yamaha. Think maverick should retire and maybe Lorenzo too. Lets see when lorenzo will be back, but i suggest he retires.
That Yamaha was astonishingly slow in acceleration. I think VR was last on the speed charts - slower than the Aprilias, KTMs and Suzukis. I think VR was losing at least five tenths down the main straight alone - that's 'risk free' time.

Have you seriously just decided that Vinales should retire from GP racing because another rider crashed into him???
Holy ...., I'd hate to think what you'd do if your kid spilt a glass of milk? Adoption?

I think it is only right that some of the blame be laid at the feet of the media. Vinales is announced as the new Yamaha factory rider and the press already had his name etched on the championship trophy next to Marquez.
Given all the hype it would seem to me that Maverick got a little carried away and when the results didn't manifest he got his knickers in a twist for a season and a half.
He has made some improvements but I think he is still only partially through this rebuild job. He was clearly humbled by the realisation that no, you don't just turn up and beat Marc on a regular basis because you are sat atop a challenger bike. Following a crisis of confidence in which he changed key personel, mindset and even his racing number he has finally acknowledged the size of the task in front of him. Not only does he have to beat one of the winningest riders in history in the same garage, but he needs to work out how to match or even exceed Marc's level of technical ability, championship winning experience and unrivalled commitment.

And for the conspiracy that is being put up around the places, albeit with a joking tone but Vinales has been knocked off his machine twice this year in races through no fault of his own ................. it is said that both riders who knocked him off are VR46 academy riders.
Let the conspiracists loose .....................
Mind you, the Bagnaia one looks to be just some serious bad luck with Espragaro seemingly moving slightly offline towards Vinales who checks up and Bagnaia just realises way to late and decides for an up close look at the Yamaha exhausts

Honestly, I sometimes wonder if there weren't a lot of people who were addicted to the drama of the stupid flame wars. On threads where these things went on, there were a lot of people dropping, not contributing, but just to rubberneck the insanity.
I think we also lost a bunch to jail, cirrhosis and .....
