@denkmit Its not my taste, I don't like any electric only racing, but I feel for the riders. I hope they find spots and aren't left in the lurch :/

@kamilkazani Kamil, id like to ask your opinion on the Russian drones in Poland. Is this sabre rattling, a distraction, or is there something more to it?

It’s ‘important for MotoGP to race in new countries,’ but we’re going to dodgy circuits a few hours drive from three or four others. MotoGP won’t grow by racing at Balaton, it’ll grow by racing at Buddh and Istanbul Park. Asia and South America, not more races in a saturated European market.

@PiejeMR @denkmit 🤣 let me dream, OK? I'm really impressed with Aprilia and Bez, and Martin is now getting back into it. I'm hoping those two can attack Marquez and Ducati's dominance, make it a fight next year.

Jorge Martin says he’s getting more satisfaction right now developing the Aprilia into a winner then he was getting last year winning on the Ducati

@denkmit This is by far the most disinteresting GP I've watched since becoming a GP fan in 2020. Balaton Park feels like a PhD thesis on how chicanes can ruin race tracks (and almost kill riders) made manifest.

How Dorna can bring MotoGP to this circuit while at the same time claiming with a straight face that safety is always their number one priority is beyond me.

Acosta’s crash was very nearly a tragedy today. This circuit simply isn’t appropriate for MotoGP.

@denkmit Crafar and the stewards producing another reasonable penalty - so far, I feel Simon's appointment to replace Spencer is an overwhelming success. Its much better to complain about bike things than steward things.

@MotoGPJules Hi Julian! In Rick Broadbent's book 'Ring of Fire', he talks about the acrimonious split between Yamaha and Camel in 2006 - fuelled by Rossi's F1 testing and "unwillingness to be their mouthpiece". Could you tackle this with Nick on the podcast sometime? Thank you!

@PiejeMR @MotoGP Wonderfully dramatic 🤣. I've realised now matter how dull a GP race is, it's more exciting than a F1 race by default, so I'm OK with that.

@denkmit Bugger. Well we have 1.5 seasons of crossing our fingers a front tyre doesn't tear itself to pieces mid race. 😑

@denkmit Simon, any whispers/rumours regarding the tyres for 2026? It seems need that new Michelin front urgently, and maybe Liberty have done some arm twisting/dealings. This is me being very hopeful btw.

@denkmit Zarco and Miller's late career resurgence in profile is one of my favourite feelgood stories of 2025. They'd make a killer buddy cop movie.

Jack ran out of fuel on the slowing down lap. ‘I have to say a massive thank you to my Suzuka friend because without him I wouldn’t have made it back!’

@denkmit Acosta looks like he's been told to stay an extra hour after work on a Friday.
