3rd May 2021

When Jack Miller owned just the third victory for Australia in the last ten seasons of MotoGP there was a sense of Déjà vu. It was not the 26 year old’s maiden success of course and, like that rain-sodden day in Assen in 2016, Miller was able to triumph…

Paying for the crash

19th April 2021

Rolling free of a motorcycle means a blow to the body, confidence and championship points tally, and frequently, it’s just an undesirable facet of the sport. The fallers at the Grande Premio 888 de Portugal spanned the range so what happened and what do the incidents mean?

Walls closing In?

7th April 2021

Ducati have a situation. Their satellite team-supported riders excelled at the Qatar double, usurping the hype and hope of the factory squad. What does this dynamic potentially mean for the racer with the most on his shoulders: Jack Miller?

The narrative that just keeps on giving. The Belgian Grand Prix belonged to Romain Febvre but Jeffrey Herlings' sub-plots remain riveting. A #blog on what we saw yesterday in the sand #MXGP #KTM #belgium #lommel https://t.co/DBeQi5e4Rh Pics by Ray Archer

Tim Gajser replies to take Pole by 0.14 of a second from Herlings. The Dutchman didn't yield to the bait & didn't attempt another lap. Jorge Prado sits in 3rd: the 3 winners of every GP here since Kevin Strijbos became the last Belgian to win in MXGP on home turf in 2016
