It was a huge shame,Continue reading “2021 Sachsenring GP Preview: A record at stake”

There were some fantastic scenes after Miguel Oliveira’s win at Catalunya last weekend.

It had unexpected crashes, resurgent rides, and a truly dominant display at the front on a machine that hasn’t seenContinue reading “2021 Mugello GP Review: A close pack, a dominant win, and a life lost”

As a writer and keen follower of MotoGP, I try my hardest to be unbiased when it comes to the individual riders.

Last year, thanks to the outbreak of COVID-19, MotoGP didn’t start its season in Qatar (yes, I know Moto2 and 3 still raced there, but the premier class was absent due to travel restrictions).
