I wrote about the Noah Dettwiler-Jose Antonio Rueda crash in Moto3 at Sepang. About needing to bring back Moto3 warm, how racing is dangerous, doing everything we can to reduce risk. And how this generation of riders is different, and better, to previous generations.

A reminder that this is the same team (and the same circuit) where Raul Fernandez was allowed to ride after being knocked out in a preseason test in 2022. It caused him to crash again the next day when he basically forgot to brake for a corner... www.the-race.com/motogp/the-f...
'The fear is for your life' - Fernandez crash return was terrifying
After taking a big blow to the head on Saturday, Raul Fernandez rode again - and crashed again - on the final day of MotoGP testing.

In a horrifying article about the dangers of Teslas, one point stands out: Teslas automatically disengage self-driving mode <1 second before an imminent crash--not enough time for the driver to react, but enough for Tesla to deny responsibility for fatal crashes, since self-driving "wasn't engaged."

Well, the sprint race wasn't as exciting as qualifying. in fact, it wasn't exciting in any sense of the word. Not great.

This is some of the best TV direction that we've seen in a really long time. Actually getting to watch battles in The Jungle rather than the leaders not passing each other!

Mass layoffs of IRS agents who catch tax evaders.

Once more, Elon Musk's very sincere crusade to cut "waste and fraud" out of the federal government just so happens to weaken government power over billionaires like him.

What an incredible string of coincidences we've had here.

This really shows how the busy design we get now for liveries does not look as good as the simpler liveries of some time ago. But today it seems you need to fit more sponsors on the same area...
