Oh dear, what a weekend! He’s gone racing for a twist. Or, maybe I should say: A desire for the right twist. Yes, I’m talking about Marc Marquez, the man who broke the lap record at Les Mans on Saturday had a screw leading to a painful absence.
And it’s bad news for Ducati too, with Alex taking a beating in the early rounds today, leaving the door wide open for Aprilia to re-establish their dominance. This year the big race looks set to be a domestic affair for Beth and her partner Martin. Yes, an ax is deadly compared to a mad philosopher. Many more battles are here!
So yes: bad news for Ducati. But maybe it’s not as bad as you think. why? Well, I could tell you that but I won’t. Not because I don’t like you, dear reader, but because Matt and Peter have arranged for us to talk about it. So let’s wrap this up and hit play, shall we?
Cheers!
