Weekly Alternative News round-up

Another week of news updated from the world of Twitter and the internet.

This week, Jorge Lorenzo’s been having a lot of fun in Bali: playing football with the locals on the beach, learning to surf, eating gorgeous food, hunting for some paintings etc… I think the man deserves a nice break!

Speaking of holidays, @eugenelaverty has just come back from a 10 days break in the sun and couldn’t resist a joke: “Home sweet home! Twas a relaxing holiday. Who’s that sipping Cristal like a P.I.M.P? That’s how I roll.” – You’ve got to love a rider with a sense of humour!

@BradleySmith38 was delighted to see his protégé, Dakota Mamola (son of Randy Mamola), win his first road race.

The award ceremony will take place on the 7th of Decembre in Bologna.
