Oh I don't know...there's a lot of hotheads in racing, for obvious reasons. But I thought Bez was pretty mild mannered til now. And the marshal was pretty upset. Hopefully it won't happen again.
yes, the more I think about it, the more I feel shocked. But he has been punished and apologised in person to the marshal, so the point has been made that this sort of behaviour is not acceptable. If they'd let it go, it would give free reign to anyone treating marshals like that.
If there are a lot of chapters I would upload to AO3 on a regular schedule, then people get to expect it. I don't know those other sites but if you want comments I would upload onto every site you like. And make sure to reply to each comment, you could also write a note: 'comments and advice welcome, I love getting comments' or something like that.
But remember it's about what you like to do, not what other people think. If you like writing, just write and let people comment or not. Sometimes people comment weeks/months/years later as once the fics are out there, they're out there for good.
I've been writing fanfic for about 15 years, comments have definitely declined over the years, it's not that our fics have got worse.
That is a journalist I trust so I presume it is true information.
Seems very early to announce news like that, and it will set everyone in motion. I think if true, Honda will put Moreira in the factory seat next to Fabio. Leaving Mir, Mirini and Zarco as choices for the satellite team. Or some new riders.
I think the next move will be Marc announcing he's staying with Ducati. Not that I've been thinking about this a lot!😅
Oh damn I forgot to put Toprak! I am excited about him too. I am going to cheat and add him in.
Yes it's pretty sad about Fabio, and also Pedro stuck on the KTM. They need to be rescued.
Also yes 2025 wasn't exciting if you aren't a fan of Marc, but that is the problem when there is a single alien rider and no one else can catch him. It was the same with Rossi when he was young and far better than the others- many of those years were such snooze fests that I switched to World Superbikes. Those battles between Troy Bayliss and Colin Edwards, OMG! I hope you watched those, they were so exciting! Must have been the early 2000s I think?
I can't wait to see how Maverick and Jorge Lorenzo's partnership goes. Most people think it'll end in a fiery argument but I really hope it doesn't, and Jorge can somehow unlock Maverick and we'll see him fighting for the title next year.
I wouldn't have imagined these two working together, I thought Mav got on better with Rossi tbh, and Rossi is vastly experienced at mentoring younger riders of course.
I must say, this was pretty rubbish. The presenters were more like the Eurovision Song Contest, with corny, laboured jokes and no chemistry. We didn't even see the 3 top riders in each class standing next to each other for a photo. Although the music at the end was good and seeing Marc's mountain of trophies by his chair was cool.
I think this is almost certain isn't it. WTF happened to Pecco this year? I'm wondering if he is trying to escape Ducati and get into another team that doesn't have Marc in.
So the cliffhanger is...will Pedro get 4th place off Pecco? 🍿And I hope Jorge Martin doesn't get injured again. I would love it if he rode out of the pits, did the 2 long laps, then finished his race. Better safe than sorry.
There is no pleasing some people...What exactly did they want to happen this year? Maybe they are new fans who don't know the history of Marc. But being able to watch premier class racing at all is a gift IMO.

All I have to say here is: WTF Bez?

Hope this helps.
I don't know what that is, but it's fine, I just wanted to see if I got a cake.
oh thanks! 😊
On my browser it looks different:
Oh yes I do. A cake with candles! Huzzah!
Oh come on now, those aren't wings on Franky's bike. They are extra weapons for taking out other riders, such as Aleix 😜
That was such a cute wedding video, very silly but a nice change for announcements. Hopefully some babies will come along for Bez and Albarosa soon 🤣
Guess not 🫨

I completely agree with both your points.
I wouldn't have imagined these two working together, I thought Mav got on better with Rossi tbh, and Rossi is vastly experienced at mentoring younger riders of course.
I just said out loud 'oh Franky, honestly!' And hitting Aleix of all people. You couldn't make it up!😅

All I can say about this Sunday race without spoiling is: WTF Franky? What are you doing with your life? 😅
I think this is almost certain isn't it. WTF happened to Pecco this year? I'm wondering if he is trying to escape Ducati and get into another team that doesn't have Marc in.

So we will see if Pedro can overtake Pecco for 4th place, what else is to be decided, please?
