Round 8 at the “Cathedral of Speed” with the Dutch GP As so often in the past, MotoGP comes to Assen a week after the German Grand Prix. Unfortunately, the prices are steep and a ticket for 3 days costs 135 EUR for standing room. Grandstand seats are of course even more expensive and some […]
Sachsenring Sunday
Without Marquez, Jorge Martin also won the Grand Prix after the sprint After his fifth crash this weekend, in which Marc Marquez had gone off in the warm-up on Sunday morning with a highsider in the Queckenberg finish curve, the Repsol Honda Star decided not to start. The day before he had only finished eleventh […]
Sachsenring Saturday
Bagnaia and Marquez badly beaten Both the world championship leader and Sachsenring serial winner Marquez had something to oppose the unleashed drive of privateer Jorge Martin. As a polesitter, many saw Francesco “Pecco” Bagnaia as the favourite, who will start the races from pole position for the second time since last year. In the end […]
Forgotten Heroes 1
Rudi Felgenheier – the first German 250cc Grand Prix winner German two-wheeler heroes such as Ewald Kluge, H.P. Müller, Werner Haas, Horst Fügner or Georg “Schorsch” Meier from the times shortly before or after World War II are still well known to many motorsport fans today.

Clumsy arithmeticians
KTM and their constant rider problems At KTM, Motorsport Director Pit Beirer and Big Boss Pierer have a lot in common.

Mugello GP review
Trump was bored in Tuscany As in WorldSBK, the Prototype World Championship is apparently developing more and more into the Ducati Brand Cup. After all, the Reds win in MotoGP with fair means and are not preferred by FIM and Dorna as in the series-based World Championship. Nevertheless, this is of course poison for the […]
Mugello GP preview
After the Le Mans scandal, will Mugello madness follow? We were too irritated by the events surrounding the French Grand Prix at the Circuit Bugatti to consider a review of the Le Mans weekend. On the one hand we still had to think about the questionable punishment of Fabio Quartararo at the Spanish GP and […]
Misano WSBK review
Continuation of the two-class society also in round 5 Unfortunately, our forecast from the preview came true and the monotony from the first third of the season continued in Misano. Without saving rain, the competition from Ducati had absolutely no chance and the world championship leader, with the exception of the sprint race, drove in […]

The French round awaits its heroes In 1951, a French Grand Prix was held in Albi for the first time. It was only the third season of the then young motorcycle world championship.
