If other travel businesses ran the way rental agencies run, no one would ever be able to make a flight or board a train. Total fucking chaos, every single time.

Finally back in Europe after a rather monumental trip, and unfortunately Vietnam may have completely broken South East Asia for me because Iโ€™m absolutely in love with the place. Have a feeling Iโ€™ll be back soonโ€ฆ

Does anyone else end up on random side quests a kilometre from North Korea, getting signed into a controlled zone by a heavily armed solider, to look into the worldโ€™s most isolated dictatorship? Or is that just me?

And a single match decider will never give the drama and spectacle of a condensed round robin full of amazing underdog performances

American has done little for Ukraine recently anyway. Europe is taking up the slack now. Not a single US donation this year, yet theyโ€™ve still come demanding drone interceptors

Sometimes, I scroll through social media before bed, and it makes me exceptionally proud to be on the right side of history and supporting Ukraine as much as I can ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ #SlavaUkraini

Moto2 forced to revise standings after scoring error Motorcycle racingโ€™s governing body the FIM has admitted that a scoring โ€˜errorโ€™ occurred following Sundayโ€™s twice red-flagged opening Moto2 race of the 2026 season at the Thai Grand Prix

Rather remarkably, the FIM donโ€™t know their own rule book - and as we thought at the time, Sundayโ€™s Moto2 race should never have been awarded full points ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ www.the-race.com/motogp/moto2...

COTAโ€™s crowd numbers are so low that theyโ€™re the only track on the calendar not to publish them ๐Ÿ˜‚

Feel like I say this at least once every season, butโ€ฆ a circuit that cannot a) organise, b) fund, or c) sell out a race in a regular season is not likely to be considered to host a replacement race

There won't be a second US round while the first one doesn't come close to selling out

The first round of WEC, at Lusail on 28 March, has been postponed. MotoGP is set to head to Qatar two weeks later. Letโ€™s seeโ€ฆ

Apparently thereโ€™s a rumour doing the rounds that Termas di Rio Hondo is bidding to replace Lusail should the Qatar race not happen. I would be STUNNED if it happens. Short term organisation aside, teams just donโ€™t have it built into budgets to go back to Argentina this year.
