The lousy weather in Le Mans dampens the anticipation of many drivers In MotoGP, rain races with the electronic helpers and the huge fall areas are far less dangerous than until the 1980s. Neither of these existed back then and if you crashed in the wrong place, you ran the risk of sacrificing your life […]
Jonas’ and Eugene’s outlook
Jonas Folger before his comeback and Eugene Laverty before the restart We still remember the MotoGP season very well, almost as if it were yesterday. Back then Tech 3 was still consistently successful and, as a Yamaha customer team with its riders Zarco and Folger, was sensationally strong right from the start. While the French […]
Underdogs before the 1st race
The many unknowns – from Gil Yamaha & MIE Honda to ORELAC Racing Now that Lucas Mahias has finally received his new 2021 Kawasaki ZX-10RR, he can still do a few laps in Misano before the first lap starts a few days later in Motorland Aragon. With this miserable preparation, however, the Frenchman will not […]
Vive la France
The French before their MotoGP home race In contrast to Germany with the Sachsenring race, there is absolute high spirits in France before the home game of their MotoGP heroes. From Johann Zarco to Fabio Quartararo to Lorenzo Fellon in Moto3, their heroes have strikingly Italian-sounding names. The French don’t care at all because the […]
Pedercini before the 1st race
Pedercini Racing before the start of the 2021 season with 30 years of racing According to Wikipedia, Pedercini Racing was founded in 1993. However, the website of his team insists it was on 1992.

Puccetti before the 1st race
Kawasaki Puccetti Racing ahead of the 2021 WorldSBK season You don’t win races with splendid hospitality. KTM had to experience this painfully in MotoGP, supported by Red Bull.

Barni with Tito before the 1st race
Barni Racing ahead of the 2021 WorldSBK season After strong years in WorldSBK, Barni Racing fell into insignificance, of all things, after signing Marco Melandri in the 2020 season. We still remember the little one’s sayings when, before the season was delayed due to the corona pandemic, he said “with this top team and a […]
BMW before the 1st race

When BMW announced the new M-1000RR early last season, it became clear to many viewers why Michael van der Mark had signed with the blue-and-white team beforehand. We published the first official pictures of the promising weapon on our website on September 24th, 2020. Surprisingly […]
GRT Yamaha before the start
The Yamaha junior team before the first race of 2021 It was 2019 when we couldn’t help but laugh out loud when we introduced the Yamaha junior team. Even with Sandro Cortese and his hairline slipped back a little, one could no longer speak of a “young talent”, given his 29 years of age. But […]
GoEleven before the 1st race
The best Ducati customer team before the first race of 2021 For a long time, Barni Ducati was considered Ducati’s second-best team and, judging by the performance of their drivers, they have often been in recent years. With the young Michael Ruben Rinaldi, however, the second Italian Ducati customer team in Aragon 2020 had the […]
