@graceyldn No tie

@denkmit No word on Moto3 penalties yet?

8-second tyre pressure penalty for Lorenzo Savadori moves him back one place from P16 to P17

@A1GOY I was expecting Danny Bahar. The actual answer is worse

As exciting as it looks, Google who the new CEO is.

This looks exciting.

@sniffpetrol This isn't appearing on my app. I have the RSS feed for the patron linked to it

In this week's Smith and Sniff we ask hard hitting questions like, why were old-shape Merc SLs always driving around with the suspension jacked up? podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/smi…

@motorkitty12 @raphalld @udarajayawarde4 @denkmit Speeding in pit lane

Enea Bastianini has a long lap penalty for his next race due to the turn three contact with Pecco Bagnaia

@A1GOY Not too often that you see a vehicle with 8 pack abs

BMW: We’re gonna make some honking cars. Merc: HAND ME THE UGLY STICK, A VAN NEEDS A SLAPPING

@KlezmerRouge @flying_rodent I got you argos.co.uk/product/409622…

@flying_rodent You can still get earphones for a tenner but with no 3.5mm jacks it doesn't really matter does it

Probably round about the time earphones stopped costing a tenner and started being multiple times that

@FellaOceanside @madebyfrankie Why?

@madebyfrankie AI is aware of you though. I asked Grok to stylise an image of Jota like @madebyfrankie.

Here's some art made by a human (me) and not AI. xo

@denkmit Hey Simon, off topic. Will trackhouse sell those jackets that the pitbox crew are wearing?

Going unsaid about Monday's one-year countdown event to the proposed Brazilian GP is that it very much suggests that we won't have a 2026 Argentine GP. The contract with Termas ends on Sunday, with no news on a renewal.

@sniffpetrol I like the look of the Copen GR but imports are pricey

What did you do today, Rich? Well, mostly just edited a podcast and endlessly looked at pictures of Honda Beats.

@MotoGPJules Sold at Bonham's on 2009 by the looks of it motorcyclistonline.com/bonhams-to-sel…

@MotoGPJules From here: bemseearchives.co.uk/media/1693/60-…

The most interesting buy of the day is probably this trophy. Awarded by BRMC to Mike Hailwood in 1961. Time for a little research I think

@crash_motogp 5th

Tell us your early prediction 🔮 What position will Jorge Martin finish in the 2025 World Championship? #MotoGP

@sniffpetrol Convert it into a podcast studio

Jonny doesn’t want to buy this ‘Lude as a Smith and Sniff company car because he’d rather have this. ebay.co.uk/itm/2862477374…

@perrigame Congratulations Pez. Wishing you all the best

I did another Christmas sober 🎉 I realise that makes me sound like a massive loser but it was a big challenge this year and I found it really hard. I cried quite a lot but I find arguing & broken promises difficult to deal with. But crying is better than drinking imo.

@motomatters @wwalkersd Bad for KTM?

@wwalkersd Good for Honda and Yamaha, bad for Ducati, so, perfect

Excellent question. The answer is yes, because Barcelona has terrible grip. So it's easier to tell if something is helping with grip.

@graceyldn Same coat?

@IanP01 @graceyldn They posted one of those ridiculous feelings good messages on a noticeboard. Everyone that mocked it got blocked then they deleted the tweet

@graceyldn You’re the third person I’ve seen blocked by Morden Tube Station today. What’s going on?

@damian17236445 @matoxley They have to be fast though or else the tyres and brakes won't be up to temperature. How often do you see someone slide off on a cold tyre?

@matoxley I'd prefer to ride a modern race bike than one from 30 years ago, I wouldn't do modern race speeds though, I'm happy to trundle round much slower. The speed BSB, WSBK and MotoGP bikes go now are mental.

I'm not sure they were scarier times. Riders are locking the front tyre every time they brake, sometimes from over 200mph and tucking the front into every other corner, while going to elbow to elbow with rivals, all armed with similarly competitive motorcycles, chasing hundredths, not tenths, dealing with the air-stop issue, getting blown off line by the aero wash from other bikes, riding towards the first corner with 300bhp and zero suspension, having to smash the front brake into the first corner, hoping to disengage the front holeshot device, even though they're in the midst of 21 other axe murderers. And look at the crash rate now - maybe they're not getting as badly smashed up all the time, but they're all carrying new and/or old injuries all of the time. It's super-brutal!

@motomatters What other suppliers have entered in that time?

A rare celebration that is actually part of an open competition. Brembo have become ubiquitous in MotoGP by being the best, and gaining such a great advantage that it is pretty much impossible for anyone else to enter and beat them
