Jesus Iannone, what kind of absolute moron you are

Bye bye Lorenzo, he was way too afraid on this 1% wet track.

MotoGP, here we go Dry race, meaning: 20 laps instead of 25 and a mandatory bike change at the end of the 9th, 10th or 11th lap.

It's mostly because one of the paid sports channels here in the Netherlands has a special racing channel and I discovered this weekend that they're showing even more than I thought I knew they showed F1, NASCAR and IndyCar, but I didn't know about Formula E and V8 Supercars yet. That last one is a bad discovery, because those races are usually 5-6am Dutch time so there goes my weekend sleep for the rest of the year

It's been an insanely busy weekend in terms of motorsports anyway. The list of races I've watched (or will watch today): - World Superbike races 1 + 2 - World Supersport - Moto3 - Moto2 - MotoGP - Formula 1 - Formula E - IndyCar Series - NASCAR - Formula 3 races 1 + 3 - V8 Supercars races 1 + 2 - WTCC races 1 + 2 Hmm, looking back now that I've wrote it down, maybe it's a bit too much and I'm trying to make up for missing the winter sports

So far I'm actually enjoying this F1 season very much, also today was just a really cool race where a lot of things happened. Alright, Mercedes won again, but still, there were quite a lot of good fights and I feel like this year (and last year as well) is much more fun than 2013-2014. I've only watched the first WTCC race so far (the 2nd one I had to record because it was at the same time as F1, probably I'll watch it after MotoGP and NASCAR). Catsburg and Coronel were fighting hard and I think Catsburg fought a bit too hard Still it's good to see 2 Dutch drivers fighting for positions in the top-8.

Ah that's a shame, Eurosport got the rights here since last year (which in my opinion is a big shame, because the commentator on the Dutch paid sports channel, which I have anyway, was way better).

There's also NASCAR going on by the way, 100 of 500 laps done at the half mile oval of Martinsville.

Come back to Europe, Eurosport has every qualifying + race for Moto3/2/GP and most of the training sessions as well Edit: Sorry, I'm confusing you with Wanderer who is outside Europe

And wow, did anyone see the Moto3? What an heroic, epic, legendary race by Khairul Idham Pawi of Malaysia, who destroys the entire field in his 3rd ever GP and wins by 26 seconds!!

Great race Max And it's so great to see the Manor is finally competitive, especially with a very talented driver as Wehrlein behind the wheel. They're definitely gonna get a point this year (with Wehrlein probably)

Now that would really be something, our women missing out and our men qualifying

Sweet Jesus, what's this

Well the rest probably wouldn't be much use to him anyway

Well that was one hell of an epic victory by Sagan

This pain must already be way worse than the pain I feel at the moment where I say "ok you know what, fuck this shit, I'm going home now "

"Peter the Great is gone", says the Belgian commentator

Come on Sep

I think his legs are stronger than his tactical mind

Meanwhile it's chaos at the MotoGP in Argentina. Scott Redding's rear tyre exploded yesterday, leading to Michelin withdrawing both compounds and coming up with a "special compound" for today's race. However, there's a good chance it'll rain, which would mean more problems. Rumours now are that if the race starts in wet conditions, but the track dries up during the race, the race will be red-flagged.. Well first let's wait and see what happens in the Moto3 and 2, the first of which just finished a very wet warm-up session with Malaysian Pawi in first

The second race in the V8 Supercars in Tasmania had quite the dramatic ending. Van Gisbergen was leading for more than an hour, when he slipped over some spilled oil 4 laps (laps of 52 seconds) before the finish of the race. Winterbottom, who was in 2nd, almost slipped as well but could continue, however it was Will Davison (who was in 3rd) who suddenly found himself in the lead and won the race.

Trust me, there is no way I believe the Dutch skaters in general are clean But thinking that this whole thing about the Russian state doping is actually a Western conspiracy..nah, no way. Maybe it is easy to make people believe that countries like Russia, China and North Korea are massively doping, but I really don't think this is such a weird thought. Instead of screaming "OMG it's a conspiracy!" like a frustrated teenage child, it'd be a lot more helpful to take the blame and start cleaning up the mess for real.

Go What's life without a little bit of false hope

Tiesj Benoot was already out. If Tom Boonen falls as well, the Belgian tv will probably stop the live report
