This was found elsewhere and is scans so apologies for the clarity but it is a scanned copy of an interview given by Jack Miller's parents regarding Jack, how they have gotten this far and the sacrifices Of interest for me as a critic of DORNA was that it was DORNA who fronted 50k to help...

Rossi unsure if he will race in Valencia MotoGP decider - MotoGP News Gentlemen, he is basically doing what he did to get the Bridgestones, threatening. Dorna will bail him out I have no doubt. This is all part of his plan to get the media and fans to pressure Dorna into reducing the...

Dorna will not grant Suzuki a new team slot on the 2014 for its anticipated return to MotoGP, forcing the Japanese manufacturer to align with an existing team.   http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2013/Jan/13012299.htm

More trawling through old bike stuff unearthed another nice tale, one that'll be right up Jumkie's alley (so to speak, ahem).   Some excerpts from a report from El Mundo, June 2002 (coincidentally 10 years on from the previous FIM/Dorna/TWP contretemps I quoted):     The 'Big Racket'...

This season has been the worst, in terms of racing, since I have been watching MotoGP. I have even turned off a couple of races to go to sleep, which is amazing for someone who has travelled 800Km to watch one of the races only a couple of years ago (o.k, fair enough, in Australia that is only...
