Whilst I am normally beside myself with happiness at this time of year – not only is the weather improving and trips on the motorbike become rather more pleasurable than in the long, wet and cold winter months, but also the motorcycle racing season has started. Joy unbounded, except…. …there’s a blot on the landscape… [...]

BBC Respond About Moto GP Coverage
November 10th, 2009 · No Comments · Motorcycle News
You may remember, dear reader, me mentioning my disgust about the BBC cutting short the Moto GP coverage – Sepang Moto GP – a couple of weeks back. Click Here for the report. I duly sent off the online complaint and I have eventually got a response: “Thank you for your e-mail regarding ‘MotoGP Live’. [...]

Who’s the Donkey Now? When Valentino Rossi retires from competitive racing I think he should start a promotion agency as the Donkey on his helmet idea, to say yep I was an idiot last weekend, was inspired, and means he can laugh at himself whilst still getting down to the serious business of winning races [...]

However it was clear from the off that the track was drying quickly, which meant that tyre deterioration [...]

News on Qatar Moto GP postponement
April 13th, 2009 · No Comments · Motorcycle News
The first round of the Moto GP from Qatar turned into an anti climax last night when an apparently rare desert thunderstorm halted proceedings. The 125cc race only ran for 4 laps and the riders awarded half points for the positions they were in when the race was red flagged. The 250cc race was shortened [...]
James Toseland Proves To Be A Match for Valentino Rossi
October 7th, 2008 · No Comments · Motorcycle News, Motorcycle Racing
Aside from the Moto GP at Laguna Seca earlier in the season last weekends racing from Phillip Island, Australia was one of the most exciting this season. But it wasn’t the front runners that made it exciting, it was the battle for 3rd and then subsequently 4th place. Casey Stoner led the GP from pole [...]

Situation Vacant: British Eurosport Director for Motorcycle Racing coverage
August 29th, 2008 · No Comments · Motorbikes on TV, Motorcycle Racing
