I am seriously loving this drone thing

Froome gets a new saddle, Lorenzo gets a new tank. Lightning does strike twice.

Well I have to say, since I've hassled them the process went pretty speedily. Customs released my parcel yesterday and it was delivered this morning just after nine. So at least props for that.

I was unfortunately forced to go with CRC as I couldn't really find what I was looking for locally or elsewhere. As I was going on leave for a week, I didn't bother with express shipping and took the free option as I thought I wouldn't be around to pay for the charges. 16 May - Order Placed 17 May - Order Shipped 19 May - Order in Joburg 25 May - Skynet finally contacts me for my ID Number for the customs invoice 28 May - After following up with Skynet, they finally send me the invoice and I pay immediately 29 May - Silence after following up on the next step Also had to cough up a R200 admin fee on R400 Customs. Irks me so bad, but what can you do. Edit: Literally just got a mail from CRC to review my products. Except I don't have them. Edit 2: I've previously paid for Express Shipping when it was still DHL. Bought on Sunday, in my hands on Wednesday. I was shocked, totally shocked.

Emphasis on watched, since you pretty much need subtitles for anything coming out of Guy's mouth

Not sure if we have a Video/Videographer thread, so I'm putting this one in here

I am baffled by Ducati though. From what I understand, they are looking to replace Lorenzo with Petrucci or Miller, mostly because they are "cheaper". That makes no sense to me at all. Neither of those two guys are more talented than Jorge, and if it's a money thing, I firmly believe that Jorge will take a salary of €0.00 if it gives him a shot at winning another title. However, the bike isn't working as he wants it to (which I think everyone was expecting, so many have tried, and so many have failed). In my mind Ducati needs to take either an upcoming rookie (but most of the top talent is now tied up), or persevere with Lorenzo at a much lower salary. Lorenzo knows he won't be able to win a title on a satellite Yamaha, but he would definitely be fast on it. Heck, perhaps he joins JR65 at KRT next season. It would be really disappointing if Lorenzo goes out of the championship like this. Dorna stepped in to bring Rossi back from his Ducati-doldrums, perhaps there is some cream left to tempt Lorenzo with. It really is quite curious.

Yep, silly season isn't over by any stretch of the imagination.

Yeah I also heard something about it now that you mentioned it. The guys had to set the bikes up for the first flowy part of the track, or the last tight part of the track. Can imagine that gearbox ratios proved difficult considering the nature of Donington Park.

I watched both races. VdM just finally got things to work for him I think. Sykes really struggled at a track he usually dominates, and JR was there, but VdM just had something extra. Big rumours that Sykes and VdM were to swap seats - wonder if that's still on the cards...

No need to delete your post, it's valid commentary, just keep in mind not everyone is caught up. So, something like Masterchef [spoiler]Click if you dare[/spoiler]would be grand

I wish they would show these in full speed as well, not just slow-mo. The reaction times that these guys have are insane, folded the front twice and just kept it pinned. https://twitter.com/MotoGP/status/997455626224549902/video/1

Ah, but is it a Yamaha track, or is it a Jorge Lorenzo track, since he took five of the seven Yamaha wins?

I haven't had any Garmin activities sync in the past week

You do. Before The Girl had a Garmin, she just used her Wahoo Tickr with her Samsung Health App and still got the points.

Nope, plug WINTER20 in at checkout for the extra 20% until the end of May

So it took a solid six months, but I've pulled the trigger. They are currently 20% off as well!! Ordered yesterday, delivered this morning, super, super service from the guys!

11 M. FERRARI ITA Barni Racing Team Ducati 1199 Panigale R So, no. Not the V4.

When will the route be available?

Also saw it, sent it to my mom, she wasn't impressed...

Uh oh. Edit: Also, WSBK. I've always been a huge JR fan, but my gosh he makes the racing so boring. I am so disappointed that he never got a MotoGP seat at Honda, but he probably knew that it wasn't his best shot - Yamaha would have been so much better for his smooth style. The way he stalked Chaz yesterday was insane. He was so smooth, Chaz was all over the place, and once he got past, he was gone. He's on a completely different level than anyone else at the moment. And instead of Kawasaki complaining that they were losing rev's because they were successful and invested in the sport, they've worked on improving corner speed.

I didn't watch the race, but just saw the results. Only 5 cars didn't get lapped???

NBC is picking up B99!!!
