The 2022 Yamaha doesn’t perform well when grip is at a premium on tracks, with the reigning world champion admitting on Friday in Barcelona he was worried about his pace in low grip conditions before ultimately going on to win the race as the circuit improved over the rest of the weekend. Quartararo has gone […]
For the first time since he made his MotoGP debut in 2013, a rider other than Marc Marquez will win at the Sachsenring this weekend as the six-time world champion continues his recovery from a fourth right arm surgery. Pramac’s Johann Zarco, who ended Marquez’s pole run at the German GP last year, set the […]
The Aprilia rider miscalculated how many laps were left in the Catalan Grand Prix two weeks ago and backed off at the start of the final lap believing he’d taken the chequered flag. It wasn’t until he got to Turn 3 that he realised his error and quickly recovered to fifth, having been sat in […]
KTM announced last week that it had signed three-time MotoGP race winner Miller on a two-year deal to join Brad Binder at its factory squad next season. It marks the rekindling of a relationship that powered Miller to runner-up spot in the 2014 Moto3 world championship before he signed with Honda to jump directly to […]
Oliveira confirmed last month that he had been offered a return to the Tech3 squad for 2023 if he wanted to remain with KTM, as the marque looked to revamp its line-up. The four-time MotoGP race winner refused this as an option, with Oliveira linked to a move to Ducati with Gresini in 2023. Miller […]
Marquez had a heavy crash during FP4 on Saturday and suffered a mild concussion, which meant he couldn’t compete in qualifying. Though he was cleared fit to ride in Sunday’s race, the LCR rider had to come from last on the grid but took the chequered flag in 10th. With Marquez’s MotoGP future uncertain at […]
Miller endured another difficult round last week in Barcelona after qualifying down in 11th and could only manage 14th in the race, 34.6 seconds from race winner Fabio Quartararo. The Australian complained of a lack of consistency throughout the Catalan GP weekend with the tyres and struggled from the off on the harder option rear. […]
Zarco was the only rider in the leading group to run with the hard rear tyre as he hoped it would offer him a late-race advantage when those ahead on the medium started to suffer tyre wear. The degradation on the hard rear proved more than Zarco was expecting, and he was resigned to finishing […]
Bagnaia started from second while LCR’s Nakagami came from 12th, with the latter losing the front under braking for Turn 1 at the start of Sunday’s race as he tried to recover positions. Nakagami struck the rear wheel of Bagnaia’s Ducati with his face, which sent the Italian into a crash, while the Japanese rider’s […]
A controversial first corner incident involving Takaaki Nakagami wiped out Alex Rins, leaving the Suzuki rider with a fractured left wrist, and Francesco Bagnaia, putting a dent in his championship hopes. Reigning world champion Quartararo – who announced he’d re-signed with Yamaha for two more years last Thursday – took another step forward in his […]
