Just read all of this thread!

I love the first page suggestions that Cal should have been on the second Repsol Honda, given the final result!

Cal has had a great season, and his current standing in the series suggests he has generally made the right moves at the right time - I really hope he does at least as well next year!

Shame MM dropped it, but I suppose he had nothing to lose!

Really looking forward to the final rounds.

Yea ignoring hindsight I think it was the right call not putting Cal (though I think it was a total no no for him anyway due to a sponsorship clash) or Jack on Dani's bike, they're both already on very close to factory bikes with established settings, I honestly think neither would have done any better on that bike than their own, probably worse. And if they did well it would have all been put down to the bike!!

Plus they have something to lose, if Hayden drops it or doesn't get a great finish no one will bat an eyelid, if he does well then he'll be praised accordingly, but guaranteed if Cal or Jack have a poor result on that factory bike they'd get berated for it, opportunity missed etc etc.

for this weekend though I really would like to see someone other than Aoyama on that bike, as does seem a bit of a waste! Mind you I don't suppose Honda care as the bike isn't getting trashed and he's probably gathering data at least.

you can bet that a lot of those parts that are allowed to be changed in-season will be different on that bike of aoyamas this weekend

Do yourself a favour and buy an android box. I've watched every race this year on mine, streams vary in quality but generally I can find one up to normal TV standards, even had a few in full HD. I think I paid 65 quid for it and we use it pretty much every day. Not to mention all the films, series, etc. available. If it eventually breaks I'll happily buy another the next day, it's paid for itself.

If you've got an Android phone get a Chromecast (£20 off Ebay), install Mobdro and stream to the Chromecast
