Was 11 going to be Russia? I seem to remember it was.

updated calendar : two back to back races at Qatar to start us off.

I hope the KymiRing happens, it looks a good circuit.

Fausto Gresini has passed away from Covid complications

Summary of what Brexit means for bike racing teams. I expect this will be the end of BSB at Assen.

Lorenzo seems to have decided to continue being a bell end again this year…

Forgot to post this earlier in the week.

He’s clearly banged his head too often

If he’d focused on his job last year rather than eating all the pies and doing some singing he might still have said job…

He wasn’t allowed to. To avoid travel, Yamaha did their testing in Japan and used their Japanese riders.

They did a test in Portimao last year though on road bikes and he was 6s (I think) off the pace

Typically interesting essay from Oxley.

Tidy looking bike
