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.

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.

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.
