Can someone explain why fuel prices are still ridiculously high and oil is under $100 a barrel again, the fuel price went up instantly and the robbing bastards should return the new lower price just as quick🤷🏼‍♂️

It has to be said, I’m not enjoying the need of the organisers to constantly penalise riders for what Imo I saw as a pure racing incident yesterday with @FabioQ20 yes it was mistimed but certainly not malicious from a constant offender.

@matoxley my experience of how tough a GP is, my example in 96 was this, I’d put up the fastest 2 wheel lap ever at Brands that year on a 250 with a 46.6second lap, won 96 British 250 title, qualified 2.4 sec off pole at GP & finished 16th and lapped and felt decidedly average.🤷🏼‍♂️
