We could see that Saturday’s Tests in Mandalika were seriously underway because Brad’s binder’s name was at the top of the timesheets for most of the day. The timekeeper was already well short of Pol Espargaro’s best time on Friday and reached 1:31.814 on his third pit exit......
It’s like a broken record to say that the departures of the MotoGP team have become a little anemic in terms of what is presented compared to what will be driven in 2022, but today it’s a little different. HRC presented its 2022 Honda RC213V during the MotoGP Test in Sepang last weekend.....
It was a good day for the eye-catching headlines at Mandalika. Pol Espargaro ended the day with a hot lap that put him under the WorldSBK Superpole by four tenths of a second. Among the first six were six different manufacturers. The management of the first day has changed ownership several times.....
Sam Sunderland can be called the two-time winner of the Dakar after the last stage of today’s legendary race. The Briton finished third on stage 12 on Friday, which was enough to separate him from his closest competitor Pablo Quintanilla by almost four minutes.

Mugen will race with his electric Dirtbike in the new fim E-Xplorer World Cup series. Mugen rides in the new series under the name M-TEC and is perhaps an electric racing outfit that we had almost forgotten, because the Japanese tuning house was no longer on the track with its Shinden Electric.....
The Yamaha Ténéré 700 Raid prototype was one of the (rare) favorite appearances of the EICMA 2021 in Milan, and the high-end mid-weight adventure bike raised more questions than answers. Has Yamaha installed a new higher-priced ADV machine for its future range? Has he tried to revive the company.....

From the magnificent Philharmonie of Verona, Italy, and with a few cans of opera – a refreshing change from the standard MotoGP regime of Electronica or Metal–the team went through the presentation of its drivers, its painting and the management of its team. The launch was disappointed by the.....
While the most interesting parts of the KTM launch were related to the personnel changes and the shift from purely technical focus to human (see a full review here), factory riders Brad Binder and Miguel Oliveira were still fascinated by the weakness of the KTM RC16 for 2021 and what they wanted to.....
In ten years, between 2011 and 2020, the driver who achieved the fastest time in Sepang has only won the MotoGP title twice: Casey Stoner in 2011 and Marc Marquez in 2014. this statistic is complicated by the fact that there were two Sepang Tests between 2011 and 2015-I ran the fastest in both.....
The pit lane is finally open, if only for some teams – Yamaha and Suzuki in particular- to show off their new paint finishes, and we are starting to take a first look at the new parts that some factories have to test. The new Yamaha livery is difficult to distinguish from last year’s,.....
Should we declare MotoGP Aprilia 2022 champions after Aleix Espargaro and Maverick Viñales finished the first day of the MotoGP test in Sepang in the first two places? Apparently not. The Aprilias already had extra time in Sepang, Maverick Viñales spent two days on the track during the Shakedown.....
Another day, another presentation of the MotoGP team. This time, our feast for the eyes comes from the Ducati Corse Factory team, which hopes to find the greatness of the Grand Prix during the 2022 Season.
