About Ana leaving Moto3 - what is the ‘segregated category’ ?

So FIM introduced the FIM Women's Motorcycling World Championship this year and it's supposed to start next year. That championship is a mess from the start.

It's supposed to run alongside WorldSBK, but was presented during the MotoGP weekend. It's a championship were women will race with the bikes homologated for WorldSSP (or WorldSSP600), which for starters it's a downgraded for some riders because there are some that compete with 1000cc bikes. Plus WorldSBK has shitty coverage and will only allow access to race, if you are lucky!

There's also the problem that FIM said is not a ladder, basically women will only race there, but when trying to sell the idea for women in the paddock to explain why it's such a good idea, they told it's a ladder. Plus there's already an all female championship the Women’s European Talent Cup.

Also it's not written in stone that Ana is leaving, but it looks like it. She wants to stay in a mixed category (for fuck sake's she is the 2018 WSSP300 World Championship), but sponsors are something important and apparently she is lacking them. BOÉ had to fight and convince sponsors for Ana to have this second year. So let's pray for Kawazaki to take her back to WorldSSP300 or do the move to WorldSSP she was hoping for before getting the Moto3 opportunity

I really like the NHL (and, where I'm from, it's the only way to watch any hockey rip me), but I do think it's a shame how packed their schedule is that doesn't leave time for the players and the teams to do anything else.

I would love to have a world championship of teams, for example, put like the Boston Bruins up against the Tampereen Tappara. Hell, even allow the players to represent their countries in the Olympics which hasn't happened since Sochi 2014 if memory serves.

Idk, I think the guys are too talented to be in such an insular league. They deserve to have a bit more "international fun". And it'd be highly entertaining for people watching too.

I wholeheartedly understand you, however, this entire matter is extremely complicated with too many sides and opinions involved, and frankly, it all comes down to money at the end of the day.

The NHLPA - an association representing the players' interests - has been urging the league to allow the players to go play at the Olympics and hold a World Cup again for years at this point, however, both those tournaments would force the league to take a break for a certain amount of time (= lose revenue, which they would have earned if they normally continued with their game schedule, instead of taking a break to allow the players to temporarily leave), and there would be a ton of money involved in it (the one earned from broadcasting, the one that players would be paid, the one that someone would have to pay if a player got injured...), which is the point they essentially can't agree on, especially in the case of the World Cup that would be organized by the NHL, unlike the Olympics that is its own competition with its own organizers, rules, etc., as both of these organizations (the NHL and the NHLPA) are greedy as hell and want the bigger portion of earned bucks to go their way.

The World Cup - where teams consist solely of NHL players - then also faces the problem that there could currently be only four teams (USA, Canada, Finland, Sweden) as only those four nations have enough players in the league to build a team (and aren't politically problematic at the moment = Russia), which is a concept that definitely wouldn't be taken well by a ton of people (me included) as it would mean that guys like Pastrnak, Necas, Draisaitl, Stützle, Seider, Hischier, Josi, and so many others wouldn't be able to play at that tournament...

If they decided that they would allow players from Europe to join the Cup so more teams would enter, they would need to invite IIHF into the discussion as they represent the European leagues, which would be another powerful and stubborn voice making the matter even more complicated. Plus, the IIHF wouldn't be keen on having a World Cup so close to the World Championship as it would take the spotlight and fans away from them.

Really, I could talk ages about this thing, but the conclusion is that as of right now, we have to settle for the playoff-eliminated players sometimes going to the Worlds and the Global Series, which is hopefully going to keep the format they had this season in Sweden with the four teams playing four games.

fun facts:

— peter has a bunch of meme templates that he edits for moments like these

— remus laughed at the absurdity of the whole situation while sirius was going red screaming his face off out of frustration

On the bus I saw someone with a bouquet of flowers and now I imagined Hop on the train to Wyndon with a giant bouquet of flowers for Victor

YRB to CRB!!!

Congrats to Ryan Blaney! After years of knocking on the door of joining the elite, he overcomes pit crew struggles and straight up outruns Larson, even off what looked to be another clutch pit stop to win it all! Also such a good race on its own, especially later on! Even just one lap of Blaney and Larson's epic back-and-forth in the closing stage had infinitely more excitement and intrigue than all 312 laps of last year's finale put together. (I mean, the Cup finale track could still be better, but unless it's modern Texas, even the most mid tracks will all have a good one on occasion.)

(I normally use the league's own pictures for these posts, but this Trackhouse one was too awesome to ignore!)

Also, while I would have preferred to see the Closer win tonight (enjoy retirement, Harvick!), I'm so glad to see Ross take home the win! Granted, it kinda made last year hurt even more since now I'm just wishing he ran like that last year at this track instead of laying down and letting Logano bludgeon everyone, but great to see him end a relatively underwhelming season with a win. And even if it was in far less publicized fasion, it's cool to see the Melon Man make playoff history for the second year in a row by becoming the first non-champion since 2013 (and of the bracket era) to win the finale! Here's hoping good footage of his post-race celebration surfaces soon enough, because I need to see just one last melon smash before the year is done.

Welp, time for some championship-worthy memes and posts because why not.

And lastly proof that Penske's social media guy has Future Vision (plus some reactions I captured at the very last second):

almost disappointed that the german national team managed to sorta pull through in the end because it would have been a hilarious move to not only drop out of the championship ourselves, but to also drag down spain with us
