Welcome back!My Dad, strangely, thinks it hasn’t been a good race if there haven’t been any crashes, somewhat missing the point. But then will happily sit in front of the TV for hours on end during the off season watching all the re-runs – nowt as strange as folk.
At the recent Philip Island WSB round [...]

WSB 2010 – The Magnificent Seven Brits
January 27th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Motorcycle Racing

This year however, I am more excited than an excited person that is very excitable LOL.
The reason?
There are seven, yes seven, magnificent British riders in the championship this [...]

Yamaha Motorcycles Day Of Champions (but BBC ruined it)
October 26th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Motorcycle Racing
The end of the 2009 motorcycle racing season must be one of the most exciting I can remember, not since the nail-biting World Superbikes finale between Colin Edwards and Troy Bayliss have we had so many championships decided at the penultimate or final round.
Great for the fans, tense for the riders, where only the mentally [...]

Just how does Ben Spies win races?
At circuits he’s never been to?
Apparently, it’s an animal thang……..oh really?
He cannot be serious, or his he?

Of course it [...]

Toseland ousted from Moto GP by Spies?
September 21st, 2009 · No Comments · Motorcycle Racing
At this time of year in the motorcycle racing season speculation becomes rife about where our favourite riders will end up next year.
Sometimes it seems unfair that certain racers get to lose their ride when their season has been dogged by injury and mechanical failures, but that is the lot of the professional motorcycle racer.

Who’s the Donkey Now?

Indianapolis Moto GP and 125cc race reviews
