@WatchingTVnFilm OY! How is it that even possible? I hope she's doing better now.
Well, THAT didn't go the way the #MotoGP media intended it to. Try and get Miguel to throw Marc under the bus and he flat refused. Kudos to Miguel, because I figured he'd been encouraged to stir the pot.
Oy. And #MotoGP decides to shit stir the second presser by including Miguel. There's legit ZERO reason for him to be there beyond to shit stir. I really hope Jack/Alex/Fabio shuts that shit down.
@nlarson830 @dsmdexter I enjoy a good healthy discussion, even if we don't all agree (which we don't 😂). It's a refreshing change from the mudslinging and name calling on the bird site.

@nlarson830 @dsmdexter I won't disagree that Marc did wrong, and Marc deserves punished. But it seems like since Sepang 2015, he's held to a different standard, entirely too influenced by social media devouring a certain riders intentional poisoning of Marc's character - something Jack noted during the presser in Argentina (https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/1023111/1/because-it-s-marquez-everybody-wants-put-knife).

Is he aggressive, perhaps overly so? Yes. Were Lorenzo, Rossi? Yes and yes.

‘Because it’s Marquez, everybody wants to put the knife in’

While the saga of when, or if, Marc Marquez will serve his double long lap penalty from Portimao rumbles on, MotoGP riders hope there will be more clarity and consistency in future.

@dgar Shut your face. 😂

@nlarson830 @dsmdexter But now we're circling back to inconsistency again. Luca was overly ambitious, took out Enea, who's still hurt, and there was nothing done. Not that weekend, not after. Is it because he's Vale's brother? When even the other riders are questioning the lack of penalty, you need to wonder.

And while I don't entirely disagree, they left that door wide open for him. He apparently confirmed it only applied for Argentina, and only THEN signed.

Very much giving thought to arranging for my own Mastodon instance. Not because there's anything *wrong* with my current one, it's just based on @hockey #hockey and I always feel awkward talking about anything outside of that scope (and yet, I do it frequently). #MotoGP, #HomeAssistant (#WLED) and yeah.

Setting my own proverbial lines in the sand seems like a more effective option,

Just need to figure out a good domain/name.

@dsmdexter @nlarson830 At the same time though, Aprillia hadn't shown a history to being kind/fair to their riders.They barely gave Sam Lowes a chance before giving him the boot, and then gave Salvadori the full time ride...until they decided that Mack was a better option. So, at least with THAT team, I don't blame Joe for being wary.

@nlarson830 @dsmdexter Truth, though I had *thought* they'd put more stringent medical policies in place to prevent Jorge's Assen Superman situation in 13 from ever happening again (especially considering he bent HIS plate at the very next race!).

I've had shoulder surgery, but it was arthroscopic, and basically breaking my collarbone and trimming it down so it stopped grinding against...whatever it was grinding against.
