Phillip Island basically saying to MotoGP: OK, you don’t love me anymore, so you can fuck right off

New update: nothing happening on track until at least 3pm (two and a half hours from now), and the MotoGP race will be the priority. I think we can now say goodbye to any chance of a Moto2 and Moto3 race today - and I don't think we're going racing at all... Next update 2pm.

We have to thank and praise Jorge Martín for being ambitious and fearless of the consequences he's now facing. A clear message to the top brass that this is the marketing we need, instead of over exposition in Sprint Races or PR stunts.

I literally cannot wait until the first MotoGP world championship is dicided by the fact that one rider went to a promotional event and the other rider didn’t. This is what the fans want to see! 😭😭😭😭

Goodbye to a MotoGP classic

#MotoGP teams will carry out demo laps during F1's US GP weekend. While it may clash with Phillip Island, it's logical that Liberty wants this run to take place at Austin - and it's secured three big names for this mission too ➡️ the-race.com/motogp/motogp-b… the-race.com/motogp/motogp-b…

MotoGP bikes to run at F1's US GP

In the first of what's likely to be many moves to leverage F1's fanbase now Liberty Media owns both series, MotoGP teams will carry out demo laps during F1's US GP weekend

This is beyond comprehension. ruzzians struck the central park in Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv region, with a drone. People were killed: adults, children, and even a baby…😭 The death toll has risen to six, including three children. At least 14 more people have been injured, seven of them children. In a park. Among ordinary people. People who were simply going about their lives.

Once again, a terrible night in Kyiv. I didn’t sleep at all. russia targeted energy infrastructure across Ukraine overnight, with Kyiv and Kharkiv among the main targets. Kyiv is without power. It was incredibly loud - and I have to admit, quite scary. Today, instead of sleeping, I’m heading out to help clean up the damages. Liberty Ukraine @LibertyUkraineF will also be funding emergency supplies to help cover shattered windows and provide other materials people need after the strikes. If you can and would like to contribute ➡️ givebutter.com/liberty-ukrai… Another sleepless night. Another morning cleaning up what russia destroyed. And we keep going.

MotoGP riders and teams are having to race differently due to fear of race-ruining tyre pressure penalties - which are also sometimes incurred almost by random chance. Nobody is happy with the situation, but who is really to blame? 🤔

This is the best thing to have happened in years. For way too long the West has allowed the internet to be used to damage our democracy and everything else. You just can't love the Ukrainian military enough 👏👏

Apparently Russian servers have been hit by a Ukrainian strike and immediately massive online hard right chatter has collapsed. This particular chatter was in support of Germany’s AFD, their equivalent to Reform, but similar patterns are being seen in hard right movements everywhere, including the UK. If anyone needed anymore evidence that Russia are driving a massive wave of hard right propaganda in Europe, this is it. So, all you “patriots” - you’ve been duped by Russia, and you are about as far from patriotic as anyone can be. You are easily brainwashed though. This is how propaganda works.

Horrific moment of a Russian missile strike in Pisochyn (just outside Kharkiv) just now. At least 3 people are confirmed killed ‼️ 9 are injured. The fire is still raging, the death tall is likely to rise.
