This will be a general purpose thread for F1 news and pings that really don't require a thread of their own.

here are the current riders

https://www.aprilia.com/ph_EN/aprilia-racing/moto-gp-2022/riders/

not names that i recognize- The suzikis and yamahas seem to dominate- I don’t hear the announcers mentioning Aprilias much durign hte race- Fabrio Quatrana, Marquezus usually dominate, so the announcers usually focus mostly on them

For a change There is a division where they race street touring bikes- kinda fun to watch too- they pull off near superbike speeds, but they can’t corner as much because of the saddle bags- so makes for interesting races-

I drove the medical car when MotoGP raced at Indianapolis 2008 to 2015. Those guys are incredibly brave. 208 mph inches away from a concrete wall?

F1 uses the HANS device?

Yes, of course they do.

Ah cool- i know, it’s insane, and the extreme angles they get while cornering too- it’s unreal- always right on the edge of grip-

But as sport prepares for the return of Las Vegas, old tracks are set to be axed

Look at what happened to NAPCAR when they decided to stop catering to the fan base that got them there and grab the cash - the product turned into utter shit and people stopped buying race tickets.

The same fate will befall F1 if the FIA puts too much faith in the loyalty of American race fans.

I was with Scotty Brayton when he passed.
I blame the lack of HANS.

Center monitor in bottom row? Can't really tell on my phone. Old eyes. Did see God touching Adam and the pizza oven and the pie on the counter, but can't really see a lot on this device.
