The British writer George Orwell died 70 years ago #onthisday, aged 46. As well as believing in the moral power of language, Orwell understood the dangers of its corruption. Seventy years after his death, Orwell has never been more relevant... Mat Oxley Retweeted

@RustyBucketUSA @mbccohen @motomatters @pecinogp @MotoAmerica1 @BenSpies11 Pretty much the only way to make it now is to race with the fastest kids in the world in Spain. SE Asian teams are showing the way, by putting riders in CEV Moto2/3,...

@simoncrafar @andrewpitt88 Simon, you woulda had a longer & even more successful 500 career if your team hadn't done the logical thing & switched to Michelin in 1999. This again highlights how everyone's career rides a knife edge: a simple...

@SteffanBow @neilbrownNB12 @pecinogp Indeed, possibly because this was early days of MotoGP, so WSBK riders were more interesting to MotoGP teams cos they had 4-stroke experience. Can anyone recall any WSBK riders getting rookie factory MotoGP rides since then? I...

@andrewpitt88 @jonathanrea @motomatters @pecinogp Obvs. Cal is more astute than many when it comes to £££ 😂 Also, as I said in another tweet, Cal had done a deal to ride the best learner bike in MotoGP. His MotoGP career...

@neilbrownNB12 @SteffanBow @pecinogp Indeed. When was the last time a WSBK rider got a factory ride for his rookie MotoGP season? MotoGP teams prefer GP riders, who know GP bikes, know the tracks, know how GPs work etc etc. That's...

@SteffanBow @neilbrownNB12 @pecinogp Crutchlow took the risk, but he had managed to get a ride on MotoGP's best learner bike. Rea certainly had indie team offers, but as far as I know never from Tech 3. Trying to make it...

@JamboGT @speedyneg @motomatters @pecinogp Yes, the TT is another thing: Brit sponsors/teams wanted to their riders to do the TT, where they got huge UK coverage; not so much GPs, where they got little or no UK coverage, unless they...

@agnosticIT @speedyneg @motomatters @pecinogp Indeed. This may be why Trump and Boris love each other so much - a shared love of superbike racing😂

@andrewpitt88 @jonathanrea @motomatters @pecinogp Likewise I watched Chaz Davies struggle with lower-level teams in GPs for years, then switch to AMA, to WSS & WSBK. There's no doubt he took the right road. This is largely cos there's no British...

@andrewpitt88 @jonathanrea @motomatters @pecinogp I fully understand the complexities. My point is merely that it's pointless saying anyone deserves a ride anywhere. Jonathan could've gone to MotoGP with an indie team but he chose a factory ride in WSBK &...

@agnosticIT @speedyneg @motomatters @pecinogp Certainly won't help. In one way the WSBK/MotoGP thing mimics Brexit. Since Britain lost its hegemony in GPs it's become isolated from Europe, filling the WSBK paddock, while Italians, Spaniards, French etc fill the GP paddock....

@neilbrownNB12 @pecinogp Doesn't matter. Like I said, no one deserves anything in racing - you have to jump up and do it yourself. If you don't get the MotoGP ride you want, you take a lesser ride, prove yourself on...

@speedyneg @motomatters @pecinogp A bit of evidence - here is an entry list for the 125cc European championship race at Mugello in 1995. The Euros were the stepping stone to GP racing. Count the British riders... https://t.co/D5qA3COGBC

@speedyneg @motomatters @pecinogp Yes, like I always say, racing reflects the world around it (which is why I'm interested in politics, culture etc). Britain doesn't give a toss about bike racing. Italy, Spain, SE Asia do; that's why they're the...

And soon after leaving the library walked past this. Minutes later walked past blue plaques on Lytton Strachey's house and at the site of Virgina Woolf's house (bombed in WW2). A real thrill to walk in their footsteps https://t.co/HbAu1p6oad
