Personally I'm not a fan of weight penalties. Ok a lower weight rider has an advantage in power to weight ratio but riders move around on the bike placing weight where they want it while a fixed weight penalty obviously cannot be moved.

Yep, beaten Agostinis record now, Rossi next, can't see him not doing it!

Interesting re additional weights on the bikes in WSB, can't rem who it is but started at 5kg, still didn't stop him, now 7.5kg and can't compete.

MM is a living legend, enjoy what you are seeing, probably the greatest motorcycle racer ever and in an era that will not really move on with tires been the limiting factor

Another double for MM...unstopable!

WSB, Toprak now taken over in the points from Bulega (by 4 points), great race 1 and SP, race 2 they were falling like flies, was it 10 finished

Hats off to MM, just wow.

Similar to me, I like him as a rider. He has a great opportunity, he needs to stand up and prove himself. I guess he does not have full confidence in the bike since his accident

MM masterclass again, 2 x 100mph crashes in practice, finding the limit!!! stiches in his chin, battered and bruised and the bike not set up right but still holds on for the win, incredible

Lost respect for Martin, MM still manages to win even though apparently he was in a lot of pain from the two crashes.

Nice to see a mixed podium for a change, another masterclass from MM. Nasty fall for AM, wishing him a speedy recovery...still not sure what happened there, they're claiming front brake caught up but if you look at the slow mo there's 2 puffs of blue smoke from F&R tyres.

Talk of lawyers being involved in the J Martin contracts, said it's going to get nasty and expensive!

Another 1,2 for the brothers Grim. Great tussle with Favio Q & MM for that 1st corner but FQ kept leaving the door wide open with obv results. 9 Sprint wins for MM now!

Watched WSB Misano last night, though not race 1as on Discovery its actually the Assen race!

Very tight at the top now. Bulega must have been fuming at the Superpole wipe out and Toprak in the 2nd race, Toprak a bit like MM, way way out front. Some great jostling about in the 2nd race in the pack

Yeah I think that's the do inference he is far better at tyre management than bagnia hence him losing the feel he keeps on blaming the lack of.

He made me laugh, basically, surprised at FB, MM was saving his tyre

Some brilliant racing though
