Today is the first race in this year’s MotoGP championship. I shall, of course, be rooting for Valentino Rossi, a true racing genius, who will be out to regain the world championship he lost to Nicky Hayden last year. It’s real edge-of-the-seat stuff and I’d heartily recommend it if you haven’t seen it before. Way better than F1, where it’s relatively difficult to overtake.

And remember, folks, all real sports involve engines. If there’s a ball involved, it’s a game, not a sport.
