MotoMatters editor. 90% bike racing, 10% eclectic nonsense. Won't stick to bikes. Argumentative. Old.

I can see I am going to have to do a thread on Ant West, and make myself unspeakably unpopular.
For now, all I can say is I really hope he gets a good job and gets back on his feet.
OK, a thread on Ant West. If you want to know what Ant West's current situation is, read his post on Instagram. But above all, read the letter the FIM sent very, very carefully. It's important.
I will be having a few words about the Twitter outrage mob in a bit.
Let's have a little word about Niccolo Canepa. Today, my mentions have been full of people tweeting about Canepa.

First came the swap from two strokes to four strokes, because the manufacturers weren't building two stroke road bikes any long. /2
