I got through the whole thing with only a few internet hipccups.

Reaction:
Really just focuses on MotoGP from the end of Faster to 2013 (MM's first season).  Seems to emphasize the danger of the sport (see: Simoncelli).  Brad Pitt is a much less interesting narrator than Ewan, but he doesn't seem to have as many lines of narrative as Ewan, so it's not that bad.  If you follow MotogGP relatively regularly, then it's not anything particular intriguing, since you followed the characters and the stories in real time.  That said, I always enjoy hearing the interviews and watching highlights and crazy passes.

Don't know if you'll be able to see it ..... (if not, you'll have something quite great to look forward to)

Pirro will take Giugliano's seat on the Aruba.it Ducati for Jerez and possibly more:

While I'd agree to some extent, it sucks to see Giugliano sidelined by such a serious injury just as the Panigale was coming around. Ducati did just announce that he and Davies are the WSBK riders for 2016, so I'm hopeful he's recovering well:

http://www.crash.net/wsbk/news/223099/1/ducati-confirms-davies-giugliano-for-wsbk-2016.html

In other fragile-Duc-rider news, Iannone has dislocated his shoulder again, this time by falling while running:

Davide is fast...he needs to stop crashing.

I guess the Maniac should stop falling down. Grin So he's like 20 something and can't tip over and not break?

What's he gonna do when he gets old?

Something tells me these guys don't spend a lot of time thinking about what it's going to be like when they get to be our age...

That's one of the nasty things about shoulder dislocations - do it once, and popping it out a second (third, fourth, etc.) time is a whole lot easier.

Basically that's what took out Spies in the end wasn't it?

Interesting, but I got interrupted by work before I got much into it.  Will read the rest when I get home.

Does it mention anything about how Rossi actually smiles?  I don't think I've ever seen a picture of Biaggi smiling and JLo is usually serious in interviews.  Pedro is also decidedly poker faced most of the time.

Human nature is to be drawn to people that are happy.  I mean, why is everyone pulling so hard for Guy Martin all the time?  He's good, but not an alien.  But he seems to enjoy himself and is entertaining, if incomprehensible.

Anyway, Rossi always seems to be enjoying life more than most of his peers, and I think that charisma makes him more attractive to people new to the sport looking for their horse.  Don't get me wrong, winning helps attract fans, but if you had to chose between an unknown winner that seems angry and one that seems happy, who'd you root for?

I've seen Pedro smiling several times so far this season.  laughingdp
I was shocked last season when he actually reacted on-camera to video of his epic stoppie at Motegi last year:


I think JLo has to be really focused to execute his 'riding on a rail as thin as a razor blade' style, hence no pit box jocularity.

I think it's much the same for MM, he's doing his job.

Rossi's on a freaking vacation, flying around the world racing for a living, being a rockstar.
He doesn't need the money, IMO he doesn't even GAF about that.
In his book, he whinges about how he can't go anywhere without being mobbed.
The rockstar doth protest too much.
