Five weeks of summer break are just around the corner. Five weeks in which to recover, gather new strength or think about your future. Everyone deserves a break after the season so far. But before we go on our well-deserved vacation, we still have Assen to come. A track steeped in history, which in the past offered great duels and now with the new asphalt was ready for MotoGP 2021.
Last weekend Mugello, and this weekend Barcelona. The first back-to-back race in the 2021 MotoGP season. MotoGP has moved on. It's moving on. Everyone is working. And yet, there are memories. Memories of what happened last Saturday at Mugello. Memories of what happened in Barcelona five years ago.
Today's MotoGP race at Mugello offered so many things worth reporting on: Enea Bastianini's accident during the Warm Up Lap. The many crashes, especially that of Marc Marquez and Alex Rins. The comeback of KTM with the great performance of Miguel Oliveira. Or the victory of Fabio Quartararo, who ran his laps like clockwork. All this had potential, but I don't feel like it. Because today the race is overshadowed by news that was launched at the start of the Moto2 race. Jason Dupasquier has lost the fight for his life.
t was a classic race at Le Mans. With variable weather and not so easy track conditions. The Moto2 riders were lucky and were able to race on a dry track. Looked the sky, which moved over the MotoGP starting field, darker and darker.
It's been 15 years since Ducati last won at Jerez. Loris Capirossi brought the last victory for the Reds in 2006. Until today. Today they could cheer and that even double. Jack Miller won by a margin of 1.912s ahead of his Ducati teammate Pecco Bagnaia and Petronas Yamaha rider Franco Morbidelli.
Portimão, a circuit that two years ago nobody had on their radar. A track around which the MotoGP circus gave a wide berth. The asphalt was too bad, the track very demanding.
MotoGP made a brilliant return to Qatar after a year's break, with only Moto3 and Moto2 racing in Qatar due to the Corona pandemic. It's been 126 days since the 2020 season finale, and a few things have changed.
Five years 62 articles and 4658... well I didn't really count the words. In any case, there were a lot. Five years ago I started my blog. Why? Because I wanted to do something that would bring me a little closer to my favorite sport. Because I wanted to share my passion. Because I wanted to inspire and inform.
MotoGP stands for sport at the highest level. It's where the best riders in the world come together to live their sport, compete against each other and inspire people all over the world with their skills. It's a racing circus with hundreds of people working behind and in front of the scenes. What is it like to work in MotoGP? How do you get there? What is it like to work there as a woman? I can answer a few questions for you, because I was allowed to interview a great woman - Andrea Schlager, reporter at Servus TV.
What a season. What a MotoGP year 2020. The pandemic has upset everything. For a long time it looked as if there would be no season at all. As if the 2020 MotoGP season had ended in Qatar before it even started. It was all on the line. With a great deal of effort, a [...]
