Drinking Game if you’re listening to Matt Birt commenting(no hate, still love the guy and his voice)

-That was tight, really really tight

- he set that up coming up all the way through…..(soon as someone is overtaken)

-does anybody wanna finish this race or lead this race or finish 2nd( something similar, if one or two riders crash)

-he’s out to the car park or nearby hotel and will need a ticket to get back into circuit( soon as someone runs wide)

-YOU know, if you overtake (placeholder) you better make it stick cause he will come right back at you or similar( if overtake doesnt stick)

-no love loss there (between teammates or rivals)

Just some off the top of my head. Funny to think about. I still like listening to the pair we have on now although I do miss Simon Crafar’s information dump. What do you think? Do you notice commentators resorting to recurring phrases or is it nitpicking? Does it deter viewership at all for you?

Liberty Media Favoring Rossi’s Legacy?

This is kind of weird, but whenever I started watching Motogp in my younger years, I was shocked by one thing. That the announcers called Rossi 9 times world champ when he had 7 titles in Gp and Lorenzo 5 time world champ even tho he only had 3 in motogp. Marc marquez was the 8 times world champion, even celebrated with magic 8 ball and now suddenly after he matched Valentino, they only ever call him the 7 time MOTOGP champion anymore. They specifically mention 7 time motogp champ, why is it? Have i noticed something thats not there? Or have any of you noticed as well? Obviously he won the 2 in lower classes but so did rossi and lorenzo as well.
