A hole in the middle of the track, that's a new one in the list of wild MotoGP things I've seen.

This... was an opening race weekend of all-time. #MotoGP

Reminder that the Bastianini/Martin Misano incident was under the stewardship of Freddie Spencer (a time of very inconsistent penalties). Not the current one that started in 2025.

Not perfect (see Miller/Fermin at Valencia), but they are better than what we had before #MotoGP

[Alp Salfur @ASalfur]

One of the best sprints I've ever seen, incredible!

The penalty is a rough one to call, leaning to no but see why it was given. Hard one for the stewards #MotoGP

[Alp Salfur @ASalfur]

Letting go of one of MotoGP's greatest tracks for a street circuit that is unsafe for motorcycle racing.

Hope you enjoy that extra dollar in your pockets. Ridiculous.

[Alp Salfur @ASalfur]

Disgraceful.

The MotoGP Portuguese Grand Prix weekend is already underway, but here's a preview piece I wrote for World in Sport! With a part on the home hero's last premier class ride in front of his fans...

I wrote a column this time last year after he lost the title that Pecco’s reign should be remembered for how much he embodied what it really means to be a world champion. And he continues to do so with how vocal he has been on this issue, just as he was re Valencia last year.

The NBA's in-season tournament kicks off tonight!

This 10000%. Motorcycles are often stripped on Saturday evenings, so the #1 point of morning warmup is to check they are running okay. Many of us said exactly this when Dorna cancelled Moto2 and Moto3 warmups. I really hope Dorna learn from today

[Alex Hofmann @Alex_66]

Dear @MotoGP !

For the safety of this beautiful sport -> bring back the warm up for all classes -> bikes and riders should be obliged to get ready and technically checked before any race !

Especially the rookies of this sport need these extra miles …

[Alp Salfur @ASalfur]

At this point, I've given up on making any sense of what is 2025 Pecco Bagnaia.

[Alp Salfur @ASalfur]

Very excited to share my debut article for @WorldinSport, a preview of the upcoming MotoGP Malaysian Grand Prix!
