Movistar Yamaha teammates and rivals Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo have taught us a few things about themselves as this riveting 2015 MotoGP season blazes into The Pacific Rim for Round 17 at Sepang International Circuit. Rossi prefers rain, short, pudgy tracks where he can record lots of qualifying laps, and applying pressure from the rear, as it were, on race day. Lorenzo likes things bone dry, prefers longer tracks to shorter ones, and strongly prefers running from the front, as roughly half of his premier class wins have come in races in which he’s led every lap. Conditions here on race day are a pure lottery; the race could as easily be decided on Saturday as Sunday.

Depending where you live the weather outside is starting to look a little frightful. That must mean the holiday season is upon us. While finding the perfect gift is often an agonizing experience, if you’ve got a motorcyclist in your life things are much easier. After all, no motorcyclist has everything they want – real life (money) tends to get in way sometimes.
