Sad to report Dutch 2-stroke genius Jan Thiel has gone to the great racetrack in the sky. His bikes - Jamathi/Piovaticci/Bultaco/Minarelli/Garelli/Aprilia/Derbi - won numerous world titles in the smaller classes. Thiel, centre, with Lazzarini and Nieto. Photo: Archives A Herl
It’s no wonder I’m often the only English speaking journalist at overseas races (like this weekend), when you see on a Monday morning that the riders’ media debriefs have been sent out to all the ‘journalists’ sitting at home spending nothing on travel budgets. Bad sport.
I've seen some stuff in my time in MotoGP, and expected the unexpected in Brazil this weekend. But a big hole opening up on the front straight was not on my bingo card.
People have written in to the BBC complaining about their coverage of the Oscars, and referring to giving unnecessary air time to over paid actors. I thought they were complaining about their football coverage 😂😂
@RoyalMail So how come we are no longer getting daily deliveries in the SA11 area of Neath - nothing for days, then a bundle of items arriving late 🤷🏻♂️😡😡😡

🗣️ "MotorGP is not Formula One on two wheels. It is a separate sport with its own identity and values.
The sport is not broken and does not need fixing, it is already in an incredible place.
We will continue to improve it, but by leaning into what makes it different, not by trying to turn it into F1."

🗣️: "I do not think sports and entertainment are mutually exclusive, you do not have to pick between them.
MotoGP has 75 plus years of history, over 600 million fans and big untapped markets like the UK and US.
The opportunity is to better monetize that audience while continuing to grow the fan base, engagement and brand."

British blokes….
I’ve purchased several “tins” of Heinz (British) beans because the idea of beans on toast intrigues me.
I eagerly anticipate a tasting.
Other than toasting bread and heating beans…
Are there any other steps/ingredients?
@Rptesco You don’t need my details, just talk to the people who are being paid to supposedly manage your stores effectively, with your customers at the centre of their thoughts!!
@Tesco Again regarding your Llansamlet store in Swansea, I was told by a fellow customer this evening that she was told by a manager on the door yesterday that she couldn’t enter the store with a large trolley, as the store was due to close in 20 minutes 🤷🏻♂️😡😡
@Tesco What is going on at your Llansamlet store? At 6:30pm tonight, just one traditional till open, no staff at your petrol station, with long queues at the pay at the pump only, and they have no paper in them to provide customers with a receipt 🤷🏻♂️😡😡
