Hadn’t appreciated that Paco would be 7.11 this year. Would be madness to include him at that.

Yes. I think Kye might be the one to miss out

I’ll keep hoping for a Masters return but in reality I suspect we’ll be announcing a not dissimilar team to last year.

I'd rather we didn't go down the Cookie route again tbh

Phil Morris Jason Doyle

No

Any clues dropped on Friday evening?

Yes definitely has an impact. Hopefully there is some truth in the Masters rumours. If not then I’d be trying to work something out with the evil twin.

Why would that change things? Haven’t they got a Polish license as it is?

It's not. They're in because there are GPs in Germany and Czechia. That's neither woke nor anything to do with diversity. It's a questionable business decision, nothing more.

I didn’t say it does. I’m challenging your assertion that it’s ‘woke’ and a ‘diversity box ticking’ exercise though.

I’m not defending their inclusion

Whatever ‘woke’ means. A word now used when people disagree with an outcome. It’s lazy. It’s nothing to do with diversity. You think the fact that Kai Huckenback and Jan Kvech are German and Czech respectively and there are Grands Prix in those nations is merely a coincidence?

And that's woke is it? I'm not sure i agree with the wildcard choices but describing it as "woke" is ridiculous tbh.

Wokeness? Deary me

That’s not the way it works. If you don’t unilaterally sanction countries then you might as well not bother in the first place. Do I think Laguta and Sayfudinov are worthy of a place? Absolutely. I can equally see why they still shoudn’t be included though.

Yeah never mind about rider safety as long as people are watching.

What’s with the Doyle love in? He’s the second most annoying thing at GPs. Only beaten by the wally in the headset. I wonder what they have in common?….

Why is it a weird take? He’s dangerous on the track, doesn’t have a chance to win the world champs realistically so don’t understand the clamour.

He’s dangerous and past it. Give youth a chance.

Doyle should be binned but he’s the darling so won’t be.

I suspect if it could be argued that Kemp’s points were the difference in the overall result then it would be looked at. Amateurish but academic really.

He had last season too but ultimately was back. Doesn’t sound like it’s on the cards for 2025 though.

I don’t think that would be a good move for either side.

Decent top three for the championship. I’d keep Max James as the 2.00 for next season though
