Well said that man.
In a honest world, he wouldβve won that 8th with Mercedes. That day in 2021 will forever haunt me. Goodbye, Lewis π

I think that's excellent news, @matoxley 's string is worth a read. I'm sure there will be tough times ahead for Simon Crafar but hopefully a more consistent and realistic application of the rules, which is what's needed.

MotoGP Spoiler alert: David Brivio definitely brings something to a team, with both @TrackhouseMoto riders on the front row for Sachsenring today. Well done to all π

Very true, I had the t shirt and even a Sheene bath towel in the 70s. A great inspiration.
Itβs very hard to believe itβs 21 years ago today we lost the fella that inspired so many of us to either watch or ride Motorcycles. It certainly did me. RIP Bazza 7 . Thanks.

Some GP royalty in that pic: a young Garry Taylor with Simon Tonge on the Suzuki front wheel, while Erv Kanemoto and Scot "Twiggy" Jim Wood in the sunglasses watch. Jim started in GP's as privateer Donnie McLeod's mechanic.

RIP Mike Trimby. No one did more for MotoGP. He laid the foundations on which it now stands & was the paddock's last link to the old days. This is the coolest ever photo of him (right), wife Irene and Steve Bayford (left) & Steve Harris of Harris chassis. Daytona 1974?

Hearing this instantly brings back memories of carefree summer holidays in the early 70s, and imagining being there.
Made in 1964 but shown on the BBC until the early 80s this is from the final episode (13) of The Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe. *Filmed on location on Gran Canaria, third largest of the Canary Islands.

30 years ago at @DoningtonParkUK @OfficialBSB it was a Fast Orange dominated front row with @Jimwhit69 and @robmcelnea1 way ahead. Hizzy was on a unique Castrol Honda UK RVF/RC30 hybrid. Quite a few names further down who are still around in @WorldSBK or BSB paddocks.

Wow, I didn't expect that, and especially not to BMW!
π° After four years, one world title, 31 wins, and 47 more podiums to date, @toprak_tr54 will leave Pata Yamaha Prometeon WorldSBK at the end of this season. But, there's still more to come and we remain fully committed to fighting for the 2023 championship together! πͺ
