Enjoyed writing this two-parter for the #ktm #blog (https://t.co/DqpHZyUUlb) on the rise and disappearance of the RC8 and KTM's ferocious sportsbike, with some words & views from @McWill99 nonetheless: https://t.co/FXdbYrOJrk #motorcycles

Was very much in 2 minds whether to publish the new OTOR @ProTaper #mxgp #podcast but the joint interview with @benwatsonmx @shaunsimpson24 @MaxAnstie is still great for views on Assen, being at the #mxon and Team USA's chances. Imola with @pmalin11 also: https://t.co/cTbqpd7V02

5th position behind warring Yamahas (and a brilliant winning performance by @glenncoldenhoff in the first moto) means #gajser has disrupted the Red Bull KTM streak in #mxgp for his third crown in five years. #motocross #imola

#mxgp #imola and the 2019 season is wrapped by @TimGajser243 three rounds before the end of the calendar; equalling Stefan Everts' feat in the premier class in 2006 (won at Namur, of all places, with N.Ireland & France still to run). #243 only missed the podium once all year

FIM E-Xbike: I kinda liked it. Once you realise it's a different sport on a motocross track then there are things to admire. I do think a shorter lap and race-time would help and the differentiation between the tech was obvious. #mxgp #Motocross

#imola is an 'experiment' in #mxgp #motocross with a tight, restrictive hard-packed track. It heavily divides opinion: liked by some, far removed from the essence of the sport for others. The terrain and the layout itself is not dissimilar to other typical Italian tracks
