Who knew? Important defence/aerospace firm Meggitt flogged to the US and "the UK aerospace sector is braced for further opportunistic bids from cash-rich private equity and trade buyers." 😢😢😢

@max_vanoni I agree - the problem is the idiots who give it max noise where it's totally inappropriate - like at 3am in the middle of town - waking up hundreds of people and inevitably pissing off those who have...

Ladies and gentlemen, it will soon be time to refit your standard exhausts - anti-noise mics are already used in the USA, are launching in France and will no doubt be here before too long https://t.co/MwI7K2MMB2

@MatejDonevski1 Grip is much reduced in the rain and much less predictable, so crashes are much more likely, plus speeds aren't much less in the rain and when you crash you decelerate much more slowly

@suziperry I'll take a photo from the media centre of Schönberger Berg - the peak overlooking the track - and that'll be the knockout🥊🥊

@olithephoto Yep - if you're not putting the correct forces into the bike it won't work properly

@Jonesracing82 @motomatters The original Osterreichring never hosted a GP. The track hosted F750 rounds in the late 1970s, EWC rounds in the 1980s and WSB races in the 1990s. The first GP was staged there in 1996, when the track's...

This is why I love watching at RBR Turn 2: 200 miles an hour, full brakes, back end hanging out through the left, already off the right of the bike for Turn 3 and down to walking speed. I like...

@daddiikong You need to get yourself to RBR (ps: I may have been exaggerating about Maria von Trapp, but it basically looks the same as that)

@motomatters Sad but true - watching how riders get through Turn Two and into Turn Three is one of my favourite things of the season because it's such a challenging corner, from a technique point of view. Jack Miller is...

@daddiikong Red Bull Ring is overlooked by alpine pastures and alpine crags. The track's in the valley right behind Baroness Maria von Trapp https://t.co/PBYEq95kA6

The Red Bull Ring is MotoGP's most basic track - just ten, mostly straightforward, corners - but it creates awesome racing. And the place is more beautiful than Mugello - I will fight you on this https://t.co/mbn6bTVN8U

@RogerMaybank Indeed - that's the knuckle-dragger's answer to current track-limits hoo-ha: "put a brick wall there and they wouldn't run wide"

@LucioLopezGP I think it's mostly a personal issue - some riders like to talk about this kind of stuff, many don't. Also it's a matter of time - most of them want to say two sentences to their PR person...
