I've been going to the Sachsenring for well over ten years - as a fan, as a media representative, as a blogger, as a guest. The Sachsenring is and always has been something special. It's where I can be as close to my passion as possible. There I can work for my blog and provide you with the latest info and pictures. If you've been going there for so long, you also see changes.

"First you have no luck then there is bad luck."Hardly any other quote could fit Lennox Lehmann's start to the season better. The start of the season was really more than bumpy.

Head and neck trauma, severe back contusions, broken metacarpal bone, shoulder blade fracture, tendon injuries to the outer hip joint, four broken vertebrae in the back, broken lower jaw, severe lung contusion - these are the injuries after two MotoGP races. The season has just started and already there are five retirements. In today's MotoGP race at Termas de Rio Honda, only 17 MotoGP riders were on the grid.
The season opening was supposed to herald a new MotoGP era and yet we saw a familiar problem. A problem that has been running through the MotoGP seasons for years. The understandable need for safety of the MotoGP riders is not sufficiently addressed. Above all, the gravel beds were the central issue.
Portimao - Portugal. Red light. Roaring engines. Highly concentrated MotoGP riders. Tense MotoGP fans in the stands. All eyes are on the riders on the grid. The eyes of the riders are eagerly looking at the traffic lights. The light goes out. The engines roar to life. The 2023 MotoGP season starts.
Valencia finale: Ducati and Pecco Bagnaia had to make it work this season. Last season they had one hand on the title, but in the end they lost out. Pecco Bagnaia narrowly failed last year to make the Italian dream come true.
