@matoxley I’m a total map nerd - really loving those. That last one is amazing!

@TheEllisDavies Yes, in theory, but some V4s can really fly in low-grip conditions, because they can just spin the bike to turn, which isn't far off their usual way of riding

@FBMinis Toprak being fast on a MotoGP bike is not a given - adapting successfully from the Pirelli front (v friendly) too the Michelin front (not so much) is a big ask

How will Quartararo go on the Yamaha at Termas? In theory a faster, sweeping track should suit the M1 & its edge grip/corner-speed advantage. But Quartararo told us on Sunday that there's no grip at Termas, so even he will...

And finally, a map of Camden, Kentish Town, Primrose Hill etc from 1825 - pre railways, but not pre canals and mostly still fields. Arrow points to where I lived for 25 years. It's a little bit different now 🤣🤣🤣...

And here's a London poverty map from 1889, when many Victorians were trying to improve things for the worst-off. The darker the colour the poorer people living in those streets - those at the bottom are labelled "vicious, semi-criminal". https://t.co/0NoERbZYPu

A London bombing map detail, from Ravenscourt Park, West London. The circles denotes impact of a V-1 flying bomb (half a tonne of explosives), hence total destruction (in black). https://t.co/MFL1tAHuxk

After WW2, London bomb damage, right out out to the 'burbs, was recorded in these maps. The darker the colour, the worse the damage. They explain the look of London today - ie wherever old buildings were flattened, modern buildings...

Exciting arvo yesterday looking at old maps of London at the Metropolitan Archives 🤓 This is a death map of Soho from London's 1854 cholera outbreak. Each mark is a death. John Snow's investigation proved bad water supply was killing...

@lolp63 It was editor Dave Walker's idea, I think. He tuned the bike. I asked Conor to ride with me - we were already partners in crime around town. He couldn't get the hang of a big sloppy road bike....

@Dre_WTF1 No. Teams are only expected to replace riders after a 10-day absence. And unless there's a testing programme with a wild car, what's the point? Because most replacements usually finish nowhere. Also, it's a chaotic week - Portimao to...

@frankweeink The "results" the writer and tuner Dave Walker was referring to were his efforts with the spanners and on the dyno. Better than the race result 😬
