The complete set of MotoGP Mutterings from the 2019 MotoGP Grand Prix of the Americas
“Suzuki has finally created a motorcycle that can win the MotoGP world championship for the first time since Kevin Schwantz and his RGV500 won the 500cc title in 1993, more than a quarter of a century ago.”
At COTA Suzuki took its third victory in its 245th MotoGP race and the GSX-RR may finally be a championship contender.
“After three races Valentino Rossi is in the hunt – riding a subtly improved YZR-M1 and riding as well as ever, maybe even better than ever.”
Why Rossi could win the championship and why Ducati, Honda and Yamaha had very different weekends at COTA.
“It’s not often that the events of several hundred million years ago bother MotoGP riders and engineers. But they do at COTA.”
The horror of sixth-gear tank-slappers, playing tricks with Michelin’s front slicks and Ducati’s ongoing ergonomics work.
Aprilia’s RS-GP has utterly dominated the start of 2026, so how did MotoGP’s smallest manufacturer get here and what does Ducati need to do to close the gap?
Aprilia rider Marco Bezzecchi is dominating the 2026 MotoGP season with the same quiet, truculent self-assurance that has always made him impossible to ignore, and even harder to interview
The first Brazilian MotoGP round in 22 years was characterised by a track that was falling apart, not that Bezzecchi and Aprilia seemed to mind
These are happy days for Aprilia, which leads the MotoGP constructors' championship for the first time in its history. And there’s no one better to tell its story than team manager Paolo Bonora, who joined Aprilia in 2002 to do pioneering electronics work on the Cube MotoGP bike
