Literally the second thing I’m going to do after the MotoGP calendar comes out (after booking some hotels) is looking at which NASCAR races don’t clash

Every single American man should experience a NASCAR race, in person, at least one time in their life. It’s impossible to impart the raw energy and power. F1 races are not fun to attend. Feeling, literally feeling, 35 cars go by at 750hp is pure joy

For the longest time, we’ve concentrated on selling motorbike racing to people who already ride bikes. No other sport really does that, and it limits our growth. Hopefully these new people fall in love with MotoGP, then help others to do the same

Do you think it’ll be a problem that all those people haven’t been around motorcycles?

Update to the regulations. Will be interesting to see if this changes for 2027

Somkiat Chantra will replace Joan Mir in Motegi, because Taka Nakagami is already doing a wildcard

I’m a freelancer who pays their own travel, and who right now doesn’t even know how many races there are going to be this season. I spend twice as much time away from home as I do there, and my expenses this year are through the roof. But tell me again how privileged I am

It is earlier than F1, by way of comparison. Considering the privileged position you are in, it is a hard line to swallow...

I absolutely love my job, but let’s not pretend that people in the paddock aren’t being absolutely strung out by the intensity of the calendar these days. My first trip this year was 12 January and I’ll finish 2 December.

From what I’ve seen, some people have very radically different bikes (Honda), and others don’t (Aprilia and Ducati). Which suggests to me that they’re saving stuff until it’s harder to copy! So, not fully indicative

How realistic are these times and Honda prospects? Is MotoGP like F1 where testing times means little or should it be taken a bit more seriously?

A reminder that you’re not entitled as a fan to anyone’s private medical info, and that even if I did know, I wouldn’t tell you

"Shocked" and "embarrassed" - even by Yamaha's 2026 #MotoGP standards, the Austrian Grand Prix weekend was very, very bad ➡️ the-race.com/motogp/why-yama… the-race.com/motogp/why-yama…

Why Yamaha just hit a new MotoGP low

There was some speculation that the 2027 season was going to conclude at Adelaide, but seems that's not the case. Still racing until Christmas next year...

Joan Mir ruled out of more #MotoGP races, and there's still no "definitive diagnosis" of the illness he's suffering from: ➡️ the-race.com/motogp/mir-rule… the-race.com/motogp/mir-rule…

Joan Mir will remain sidelined for two more rounds of the 2026 MotoGP season, but a "definitive diagnosis" regarding his affliction is yet to be reached

A city under siege since May. Thousands of people cut off from the world. No food delivered for months. No fresh water. Children hunted by drones. Hospitals out of medicine. But because it’s Oleshky, in Ukraine, the world doesn’t care. 🤬

Would imagine that the likes of Quartararo and Bagnaia sre going to be even more pissed off now that 18 riders got to test Pirelli today - including a late entry for Maverick Vinales!

When will KTM get its next MotoGP win? If not at Motegi, will it have to wait until 2029?! 👀 Simon Patterson and Valentin Khorounzhiy debate its chances and how future rider changes will impact those chances 🟠 #MotoGP
