Not just disappointed. I'm angry

Here's what I wrote on Hellforleathermagazine.com 's article about this piece of crap:

Revisionist history at its finest. This is how Dorna and FIM work together to hide any reference to TTXGP and the efforts of Azhar Hussain and his organization in bringing electric motorcycle racing into public awareness.

FIM forbade TTXGP from bringing its own cameras to chronicle this event. Forbade TTXGP and the teams from running onboard cameras, too. All with the promise that it would provide excellent video coverage.

I am sick to my stomach watching this series of unprofessional video snapshots, thinking about what could have been, and what should have been — comprehensive and artistic footage of a historic race.

Shame on you, FIM and Dorna.
Vive la TTXGP.

Well yes, what does one expect from the FIM?  They're the same body who ruined 125, 250 and 500 cc GP racing in order to pander to the big motorcycle manufacturers.  We used to have 500s that were so hard to ride fast that even Rossi said he couldn't ride and think at the same time.  Wayne Rainey made us gasp with his amazing skill.  Now we have MotoGP with baffleing and expensive rules that stop anyone but the factories from competing, control tyres, hardly anyone on the grid and boring as batshit.  Moto2 which is actually slower than 600 supersport by 2 seconds a lap and no where near as interesting and what's left of 125s.  That used to be the best class to watch with wiley old dogs scrapping it out with crazy young guns keen to make a mark.  Watch the younguns learn the ropes and be taught some hard lessons!  Now with the age limit its just a crazy free for all, no-one learns anything and it's just a smashem up derby.
