A classic.

Two questions, however:

1. Who the **** is Alice?

2. Why do the teams put tyre warmers on the rear tyres in parc ferme
after the race is over?

Take your pick.

To stop the other teams nosing at how well their tyres have lasted perhaps?

 

and then some. I thank you all for paying the BBC for providing me a
commentary not in cloggy like Eurospit.

Preservation of evidence to go back to the tyre manufacturers?

Stop them getting a chill after all that hard exercise.

 

Not sure if you have the option on your TV, but mine has: I can (at least
with Eurosport) choose a sound channel 1 or 2. Option two has UK commentary
with Randy M.

 

Italian bb/tv/comms provider (who also sponsor the chisled chin krauts red
team after vodafone left them).

They cover them up so that people can't see how shagged they are,
competative anaysis etc etc.

 

Thought the coverage was fine until they swapped from the top three to "the
battle for sixth" with only a couple of laps left and missed the decisive
manoeuvre.

 

Don't know.

To hide the wear pattern??

 

www.eurosport.com got me the English Toby/Julian/Randy commentary.
Unfortunately a) it's a half-lap behind the motograndprix.com lap charts,
and b) the motograndprix.com lap charts screwed up a few times[1].

[1] Wow, look! Rossi has just crossed the line 0.001" ahead of Rossi!
(Gibernau did something similar to Gibernau a few laps earlier.)

Great stuff.

 

So how does does this work after they done their celebratory
burn-outs? Or is it the sides of the tyres which need hiding?

 

Aren't you mixing that up with the crappy ITV coverage of the BSB
racing?

 

And because it's Italian, it's not pronounced like the English girl's
name, but 'aleechay'.

My Auntie Alice's name is pronounced the same way, she's a spic too.

 

Fortunately, that was one race where a timing screen was just a wee
bit superfluous.
