Hi Scozza
My "man in the paddock" said rat boy has signed a big money pre contract deal with Faenza which is dependant on them getting the ducati deal.
Can't see him riding a 1 year old bike personally, but I wouldn't put much past the slimey little sh#t

That's interesting, I wouldn't though he would be in it for the money. I think he has one last title in him!
To do it on a non factory bike is some ask though!

You're not wrong really enjoyed watching him and was rooting for a podium, would have been too good to be true!
What a little gem they've got in India, all that build up about it probably not being ready and then it turns out like that! Shame for Marini in the sprint, didn't look that bad but after some of the lucky escapes for riders lately being reminded they're human isn't a bad thing.
What the hell were Dorna thinking* with Jorge Martin, delaying the podium ceromony, he shouldn't have been on it, disgraceful.
10 year anniversary of Marco Simoncelli's death on the 23rd, what could have been
Where does the time go!
* not actually asking, just in disbelief they'd do that

Watched the Japanese sprint, same old pecking order, excluding Jorge (what are they feeding him)...lol.
Mrs said I'm watching the GP....I'm thinking I might give it a miss....but then....rain
More excitement in half a race than in 2 normal dry ones.
Really sad saying that, something needs mixing up, the status quo is getting boring.

I wasn't expecting that, looks like he didn't get his way.
Only a 1 year deal and couldn't take his techs.
I'm quite looking forward to seeing what he can do from a racing perspective, I think there's some life in ratty

To be fair the none factory Ducati are competitive. Ducati ain't going to bring rat boy in to upset their boys
Be interesting because for me he still wants it, deffo not in it for the money, more likely the passion which you have to respect that bearing in mind his medical conditions

Well, that was a bit more like it
Wth was that corner all about, I'd love to know if they ever find out a reason for the riders dropping there. It was almost as if there was a area with absolutely no feedback to the riders very odd. All the comments on the track being dirty, not really buying that from Donna. Surely they have a very basic responsibility to the riders and fans to ensure the track is at least as clean as it could be. Kept bleating on how it was such a narrow track due to only having grip on the racing line, yes....but on other tracks there is much more grip off it. Not sure I've seen such a dusty looking track.

Made up for Zarco and Digi, again another good race. I know what Martin was trying to do but I'm surprised he couldn't make it stick. Think Michellin need to go. I don't get the excuses about not having tyres for a certain track, it's not as if they don't tend for the contract not knowing what tracks will be used, granted some are added but on the whole.
The tyre situation is coming in to play more and more, sadly its starting to get like F1 with tyre strategies winning races and not the riders skill! Pleased for Zarco though 
Cmon Jorge Martin, would I love to see him beat factory Bagnia at to post

Cracker wasn't it
I'm beginning to become a real fan of those wider tracks, so much more opportunity to make it a interesting race.
I thought A Marquez was a complete tool, has he been taking lessons from M, god help the other riders next year with 2 idiots on the track, but I live in hope!
Cant remember if it was this race or the last where Bagnaia past both those other riders in the corner...pure class
I was convinced Martin would bin it, hats off to him!
Here's to more races like that, should be a thrilling climax.

The commentators on BT were saying it's because he feels he's too far down the pecking order at Ducati. Not sure I'd swap the VR46 for the Honda but he must have been told or be expectant of that Honda being more competitive. TBH you never know, there have been un ridable bikes that have been tamed by individuals.
