If you think his first session was bad…

 

Depends. If he just runs wide before charging back onto the racing line without looking he'll hit whoever is passing him. If he runs off the track before charging back to the racing line, the guys behind him will get past before he can hit them.

 

No kidding.... then they showed the on board. Not sure I have ever seen such a violent dismount before.

 

He had some real hangtime. These new airbag suits have probably saved the careers of more than a few racers in the last few years.

 

Haven’t watched. What did I miss

 

He flew halfway to Aragon. That was scary.

 

I saw like what would have been 5 collar bones broken, and that Nepa crash was scary

Azimuth challenged again. More like Brussels ( right passed you in Paris).

 

Anyone else, I would have just assumed that they are joking. You, I actually think you're capable of having looked at an actual map to figure out which direction that particular part of the track is pointed. That's a sad, sad thought. It should give you pause.

 

Just to confirm: this is exactly what I did (not sad). Since a kid, maps and orientation have been my bag. Decades and decades later, almost everything I do professionally with data is tracked for position and it just carries over. I will say you were less off with Bautista/Madrid, and this is your home race.

 

Hint: I picked Aragon because I believe that's where the next round is happening. Normal folks call it joking.

 

I know you don't expect me to let this pass.

 

I was so fascinated by the possibility that it was a serious response that I did not even bring that up. It seemed totally secondary at the time.

 

Bring it, but note: you blew the subjunctive recently.

 

Name change! Name change! Name change!

 

Hypothetically.

 

Just fix the damn thing and leave his private life out of it.

 

That was terrifying. I always feared doing that at the top of VIR.
