Moto2 produced a classic turn 6 crash with Sam Lowes setting fastest laps in 4th place. More crashes to come, including a bike spinning end over end and just missing a fallen rider!
DiGi scored his first ever Moto2 win and Lowes made the podium in 3rd place.

Meanwhile, in Spain
Rank amateurs
We’re hearing a lot of tosh from the wooden leader of the Labour party, who clearly isn’t up on his political history. I’ve just swum through some stuff that was put on the internet in 2002/03, when the Bush/Blair axis was doing regime change in Iraq. Now, there was a period of real sleaze! New Labour was more than neck-deep in it!
Bikers in EspaƱa
In the Spanish Moto3 race in Jerez, British hopeful McPhee crashed on lap 1, completing 4 out of 4 episodes of nul points. Rodrigo crashed out from the lead on lap 5; ugly air-bag job. Basher Binder was still at it.
Another win for the teenager Acosta after 2 Red Bull team-mates crashed out @ the last gasp.

Whatever turns you on
Some companies are compiling a weird TV corporate image. Such as Peloton, which wants people to conjure up mental pictures of smug, sweaty women.
Wheeee!
I see the Dodgy Cars Bloke has gone from admitting that his outfit won’t give much of a deal for a used car to fake acrobatics. Looks like the competition is winning if his paymaster is so desperate for attention.
Give it a rest
Inclusives are idleness incarnate but the stock in trade of the world of journalism. Things like: “During lock-in evenings, who hasn’t reached for their favourite tipple to provide some respite?”
Well, me, actually. I have a glass of wine with dinner then there are lots of things to do and boozing is forgotten until the following evening. And most of my contacts are the same. When we have an evening conversation, neither ever sounds sloshed to the other.
Inclusive garbage
“Each life lost to coronavirus is a tragedy” is bollocks. By the law of averages, a fair number of people the world could well do without will have croaked of the Chinese plague. And by the same token, other diseases and conditions will have claimed the lives of a fair number of people who were a credit to the human race, either inevitably or because of the distraction of the Chinese plague.
