@sihbikes.bsky.social just watching the latest What Bike Next; how many religious references did you crowbar into the show? I reckon it was at least seven. And I’ve have chosen your pick. Probably.

@yooperbikemike.bsky.social I surprised myself by pipping you to the post Mike. Roll on next season, eh? It’s definitely going to be the best season ever! 🤓

Trump says the Epstein case is a Democrat hoax. If it really was, wouldn’t they have leaked it BEFORE he won the election?

Does anyone think Marc will run the No 1 plate next year? Maybe he could run 19.3. Or 1.93?

I know they’re not paid F1 or Premier League footballer wages, but you’d think MotoGP riders could afford a decent haircut. I’m looking at you Alex Rins, Pedro Acosta and Miguel

If RFK Jr really believed that we shouldn't trust experts, he should fly around in a plane built by people who did their own research
RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy, it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism.

NEW: The British politician, his Russian intelligence handler & a Kremlin plot against the US & Ukraine.
My new piece about Nathan Gill and Nigel Farage for @thenerve_news in which we ask:
Why, even now, is no-one asking questions?

@matoxley.bsky.social in the latest OxBom pod, I think you confused badgers with moles in the answer to @guyanderson.bsky.social question. Other than that, everything was brilliantly fantabulous 😁.

Listening to Don Wildman’s American History Hits series and this is the next episode in line but even before I listen (so maybe prematurely) I can’t help thinking that this topic is a work in progress. 😊

The best example I’ve seen for a while of a word salad. I can only assume the writer thought they were being profound…… better luck next time buddy

Most questions seem to be asking why Hegseth is doing this. I think it looks like him proving that he can. Nothing more. It’s the equivalent of a Commanding Officer keeping his regiment on parade while he drinks coffee in his office. Because he can. It makes him look so weak and needy

@yooperbikemike.bsky.social Gold: P1, DNF. Silver P2, P4. Not a bad day. How you go buddy? Me changing Bastianini for Morbidelli is looking very lucky; mainly done because of the VR46 riders’ familiarity with the circuit. 😎

As attempted scams go, I’m pretty disappointed. This lot aren’t even trying. At least make me pause for a few seconds before junking your effort to defraud me. Tossers 🙄

@yooperbikemike.bsky.social I don’t know if you’ve seen the race buddy so no spoilers but my Gold riders were P2, P4 and silver riders were P1, P3. Good picks, wrong places 😂

Listening to Nick Clegg on @newsagents.bsky.social . Yup, he’s still a blustering buffoon. I reckon it took @maitlis.bsky.social two questions to confirm her suspicions. There’s some wheat amongst his assertions but hidden under a mound of chaff. I’m unconvinced it’s worth it. Ain’t buying his book

@motomatters.com @denkmit.bsky.social chaps, as two of the more knowledgeable fellows on here who share my dislike of clickbait ’news’ sites, of which there seem to be a growing number, if I mute their accounts will it mean I no longer see their crap in my feed? Or should I block?

I never thought I’d find a track I disliked more than Valencia but well done Balaton Park, you’ve achieved that dubious honour. This is just awful. This is the MotoGP equivalent if F1’s Monaco but without the prospect of pit stops messing with the order. Worst track I’ve seen for years @motogp.com

@denkmit.bsky.social final post-pod point: I don’t think Pecco will win another title. Brilliant though Gigi is, I think his recent success has been a culmination of many factors, rather like the Stoner/Bridgestone/Preziosi’s Ducati perfect storm. I’d bet in HRC’s 850 being fastest out of the blocks
