Talks bikes and nonsense. Often together. Known to have helped win the odd Flat Track race.

Tim and the Desmo450 have been amazing all year. Well deserved.

World Champions! Tim Neave and VRX Power Maxed Dirt Store Ducati win the FIM Flat Track World Championship with the Desmo450 MX 🏆 Full story: www.ducati.com/gb/en/news/t... #ForzaDucati #FlatTrack

Well boy did good. As a privateer to finish 🥈 in the World Championship is special, and there’s a lot more to come from him. He’s ready for the next big step 😉 🇺🇸

Jack with a P3 takes the fight to tomorrow. Is a massive task but you know, it’s why we line up on a Sunday (©️NH69) He however cements his P2 in the Championship. Well done to Lorenzato for a win in home soil, untouchable all day 👌

In case you haven’t had your fix of racing, watch the FT World Championship live and free on the FIM TV link. Saturday TT at 19.40 GMT. If you never watched Flat Track is going to be a good one, wild cards from the US and the top 10 anything but decided. Look out for 93 😉 fim-moto.tv/player/event...

Pretty much everything, but the caveat is it all peaked before Covid. After that it has all been embellishment, not progress.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

Well, that was quite the sprint race. Phillip Island delivers as usual. What a track, what a race. Plus it adds a lot of drama that could have decided the #MotoGP championship. No spoilers, drop everything and go watch the race

So this was 2020, me and Jack had just started working together, he was 17 at the time. Tomorrow and Sunday he’s going to race the final 2 rounds of the FIM FT WC in Argentina. He’s then off to something huge, something we’ve been working on since we first met. I’m super proud and excited.

When we made the cover of Sideburn. There’s no media like printed magazines

I doubt it’ll happen but with so many riders swapping rides they have less to lose than previous years..

Alex Zanardi should be celebrating his 60th birthday today, but he isn’t because he died in May. A good #F1 driver & a great #IndyCar driver, he reinvented himself after sustaining appalling injuries to become a paralympic handcycling champion. He was the single most impressive person I’ve ever met.

TBF if Lowe gets anywhere near the power I’d be the first to advocate for civil unrest.

Sunder Katwala (sundersays)@sundersays.bsky.social

Rupert Lowe of Restore Britain says the electoral success of his political party would "inevitably" lead to civil unrest and rioting. His argument is increasingly that civil conflict has become unavoidable + absolutely necessary (if still partly regrettable + somewhat to be blamed on opponents)

No it’s lame because no part of that stunt is real

Alex Hern@hern.bsky.social

do think there's a danger of looking at extremely cool shit like a car driving upside down then doing a kickflip before landing, and convincing yourself it's actually lame because the guy funding it is a white supremacist

I’m sure glad TikTok is no longer under Chinese propaganda

The A.V. Club@avclub.com

Bleecker Street, the film distributor overseeing the theatrical release of Alex Gibney's documentary Musk, was informed on Friday that the film's TikTok account was subject to "permanent suspension." tinyurl.com/4yd9997x

Finally caught up with a bunch of podcasts about the snoozeracing last week Funny how all the usual suspects that were against team orders in ‘24 are now suddenly pro team orders. If MM wins the championship (and is a big if) Monday test at Valencia will be a very wet affair with all the crying

I mean this shouldn’t be controversial at all

The SNP conference has supported a motion calling for the SNP & the Scottish government to leave the X platform owned by Elon Musk www.thenational.scot/news/2664596...

This happened to me. Granted I was on LSD but apart for that, same same.
