The REV'IT! Replica One-Piece Leather Suit & Stealth Gloves
5 Days ago
REV'IT! have provided us with one of their top-range suits, the Replica which is as it sounds is a replica of the MotoGP suit that Honda's Randy de Puniet wears whist racing around the worlds circuits at over 200mph each week. Notably, Karl 'Bomber' Harris also wears the suit in the brilliant BSB series, and as you should know, has put it through its paces with a number of cringe-worth crashes. One involving being hit by a flying bike at over 100mph. I'm thinking that if it's good enough for Randy to walk away from his crash at Catalunya last weekend and Karl's experiences, then it's good enough for me.

Making History : Scott Redding
26 June 2008
A year is a long time in racing, but 35 years is an eternity. It has been 35 years since a home grown talent has managed to win the British Grand Prix, thankfully that is a statistic that can now be put to bed. In a display that has won many plaudits from some of the top riders in the sport today, Redding was cool, calm and decisive in every move he made, through a tough and extremely gusty race, and ultimately providing the 90,000 strong crowd with the perfect cure for the harsh weekend weather and renewing our hope that we may have a champion in the series again one day.

MotoGP The Season So Far - Pulling No Punches
03 June 2008
The say that sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind, well we’ve reached the 1/3 stage in the MotoGP championship and with silly season just around the corner, I’m going to be brutally honest in my report of the season so far and give my opinion on possible rumours and possible team changes for 2009. Yes I know we’re only six races in but believe me, there are already backstage murmurs of rider changes and contract negotiations taking place in the paddock.

Return of the King : Valentino Rossi
22 May 2008
No wins in eight races, it doesn’t sound like a lot, well unless your name is Valentino Rossi. It’s fair to say in true Hollywood style that the King has returned and he’s looking just a devastating as he’s ever been. The last two and a half years of Rossi’s life would make the perfect script for any Hollywood wannabe writers, with a slice of despair, a touch of joy, a huge slab of disbelief, not forgetting sheer ecstasy and a heavy dose of pain to pad out the script. Then just when you think your hero is down and out and you have the bad guy about the make the telling blow, there is the classic Hollywood happy ending as our hero rises from the jaws of defeat, to ride off into the sunset and live another day.

Michelin Launch the Anakee 2
12 May 2008
Nick Sanders, Ewan McGregor, Charlie Boorman, its all their fault. Showing the world that you can travel around with nothing more than a rucksack and a motorbike has led a new generation into the unknown. Making us think it would be easy to stack up the miles and travel across entire continents, encountering a barrage of changing and challenging terrains without so much as a compass and a water bottle for company.

Simply Baylisstic
30 April 2008
I’d like to take some time to write about one of the greatest riders of the modern era. Troy Bayliss has proved to the world that your talent has nothing to do with your age. Bayliss has ridden against and beaten the best and he’s done it all with a cheeky smile and razor sharp wit. Troy, who is now 39 years old has decided to retire after the season is complete, hopefully with a third World Superbike title to his name, which he will have taken on three different generations of Ducati.

A Star is Born : Jorge Lorenzo
21 April 2008
Every once in a while there is a buzz in the paddock, people hear murmurs and chit chat in the garages that someone has seen the next great champion, someone who will take the sport to the next level, who will be the next golden boy of the crowd and who will leave his opponents crushed and defeated. Obviously like all rumours, most of the time they prove to be inaccurate and untrue, but every now and again someone will step up to the hype and prove that people’s belief in them is well founded.

Tyre Wars - Michelin vs Bridgestone
16 April 2008
Michelin has been resurgent over the first three races of the 2008 season. It’s hard to believe that this is the company that had many of the top riders and teams scrambling around for an alternate solution at the end of 2007.

Kawasaki : Something to Scream About
03 April 2008
MotoGP is the pinnacle of motorcycle racing, it is the Premier league or Formula one if you will, with all the manufacturers looking to achieve the ultimate prize of being number one and having the opportunity to make the claim that they are the best of the best. It’s an increasingly difficult and expensive sport to take part in which can be best illustrated by the fact that in only two races Ilmor were forced to pack up their project in back in 2007. I suppose this begs the question why are so many bike manufacturers prepared to pay so much and input so much effort into MotoGP? Well the answer to that is actually rather easy. MotoGP is the shopping window for motorbike manufacturers to display their brand. It’s like seeing the latest designs on the cat walk. MotoGP is the biggest shop window there is and without it, some of the manufacturers certainly wouldn’t sell as many units.

MotoGP's Latest Rivalry
31 March 2008
Over the last few seasons the premier class of Motorbike racing has all been a bit too nice. What it has been missing is a thrilling and gripping rivalry, something that can add that special ingredient that adds a little extra spice to the event. It happens in football when Arsenal play Manchester United, or in Rugby when London Wasp’s play Bath. A good rivalry is something that has really been missing from MotoGP for a while now. A good rivalry can turn a good race into a great race.

MotoGP: Points Win Prizes
31 March 2008
This may seem like a rather stupid point to make, but championships are won by the rider who has managed to accumulate the largest points total over the entire season. It doesn’t matter how they get those points. They could win seven races but it would all be worthless if they fail to score in the rest as proved by Valentino Rossi at Valencia in 2006.

Our British MotoGP Champions of Tomorrow
20 March 2008
Last year was apparently a disaster for British Motorcycle racing. 2007 saw the first time since the beginning of the premier class that a British rider had failed to score a single point. However barely six months on for what many class as its darkest day, British motorcycle racing is blossoming with new talent in all classes.

John Hopkins, Back In The UK For The British GP!
24 June 2007
John Hopkins got his first MotoGP podium with a third place in China earlier in the season, and that had been a long time coming. The 24 year old Anglo-American has had a tumultuous time over the past five seasons in MotoGP, struggling with the development of the four-stroke Suzuki GSV-R and battling with personal injury. He scored more points last year than any other Suzuki rider in the 990cc era, which made it his best season to date.
