When sport becomes a secondary matter When the FIM introduced what we consider to be completely pointless so-called track limits in MotoGP and WorldSBK, many fans were already wondering what the point was. Back in 2019, we feared that the long-lap penalty rule, which came into effect at the same time to punish riders’ infractions, […]
GP Argentina review
Spectacular Marquez Brothers show in Las Termas de Rio Hondo Shortly before the start of the season in Thailand, Marc Marquez had been very modest in his press conference. At the time, he stated that, as a newcomer to the Lenovo Ducati factory team, he was initially orienting himself towards his teammate Bagnaia, who had […]
South American GP Preview
Before the MGP Grand Prix of Argentina It’s been 11 years since Marc Marquez last arrived at the second round of MotoGP as world championship leader, but unlike today, it was in Texas in 2014, with Las Termas de Rio Hondo following one round later.

BuriRam 2025 review
Repeated Marquez Double at the Thai season opener With his 112th podium and first Grand Prix victory on the factory Ducati, Marc Marquez dominated the premiere of the season almost at will after his sprint victory the day before.

New Era
Drastic cuts for MotoGP for 2025 Even though Pedro Acosta finished sixth in the World Championship in his first MotoGP season, the young star clearly missed his targets for 2024 despite several podium finishes. The Spaniard saw the finish flag far too rarely, especially in the last quarter of his rookie season. But for the […]
Portimao 2024 preview
The seventh round of the WorldSBK in the Algarve Due to the one-hour time difference in the rest of Europe, as on the weekend of the MotoGP event in Silverstone, the next WSBK races in Portugal will also take place at a rather late hour. After a far too long summer break between Misano and […]
Most review
Mixed impressions from the visit to the 6th WorldSBK round During our visit to the Czech Republic, we were a little depressed to note that our positive words in the preliminary report on the Brüx round were perhaps a little too friendly. Although the organization of the event at the Autodrom Most seemed a little […]
Most Sunday
Dramatic WorldSBK Sunday in Most with outstanding Toprak The fact that the Turk from the Czech Republic left Sunday afternoon undefeated for the tenth time in a row has been reported absolutely correctly. However, almost all reporters are much less precise about his number of race victories. If you weigh these correctly and in the […]
