MotoGP - We Are Not At War!

You've heard it here first, everyone!
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAR RIGHT NOW.
'What war?', you might ask? Well, I couldn't possibly tell you! Maybe the Duke of Luxenburg decided to invade Thailand. Maybe it's the manufactorers versus Liberty. Maybe cats and dogs are finally getting serious about it. All just as likely, right?
Okay, maybe if there was a war it would be about the second topic. And maybe that hypothetical scrap would be about a new rule that limits riders to a single bike all weekend, giving a whole new dimension to already disasterous crash-outs.
And if that were the case, wouldn't that touch upon a topic at the heart of the sport? I'm talking here about crashes, about risk and its old companion danger. There's no denying it: we all love that MotoGP is a sport with serious teeth. But what is acceptible, what is moral and what is realistic? Consider this our little addendum to last week's race.
Alright, enough blabbing on my part. Let's get Mat and Peter in here, eh?
Cheers!
