Motorcycle racing has long been defined by its knee-dragging cornering, but that’s no longer enough. The best of @MotoGP are now getting their shoulders down. So how are @88jorgemartin & Co. doing it? https://t.co/qG9mcx8nmX

[Austin Lindberg @LindbergWords]

You can't talk to anyone in #MotoGP circles without hearing about how great Marc Márquez and Jorge Martín are, and those people aren't wrong, the Spaniards are exceptional. But so is Pecco Bagnaia. Maybe even more so. https://t.co/cHaKzUMyVV

@OntrackOffroad Thanks very much, Adam!

@BoziTatarevic @CharlotteFC Public charging, soccer game, this is my kind of tweet.

[Austin Lindberg @LindbergWords]

F1's boom times coincide with the ownership of Liberty Media. Now that it's agreed to purchase MotoGP, too, can the pinnacle of two-wheel motorsport expect a similar crossover into the pop-culture consciousness? https://t.co/JBjd6bOocV

@Lewis__Duncan @TeamTrackhouse @NASCAR @JustinMarksTH @TrackhouseMoto @MotoGP Thanks very much, Lewis.

[Austin Lindberg @LindbergWords]

Racers with a propensity for going viral, a liberal helping of marketing magic, and a Grammy-winning co-owner: @TeamTrackhouse has become must-see TV in @NASCAR. Can @JustinMarksTH's new @TrackhouseMoto team use the same recipe for success in @MotoGP? https://t.co/WiBY452zEX

@RyanRosenblatt While I agree with your sentiments, my like of this tweet is solely for the Wolf “The Dentist” Stansson gif.

@motomatters Very sorry to read this, David. Thinking of you and your family.

[Austin Lindberg @LindbergWords]

Whoops.

‘We want those experienced refs back.’ - Cristian Roldan

[Austin Lindberg @LindbergWords]

Whoops.

[Tom Bogert @tombogert]

CF Montréal head coach Laurent Courtois sounds off on referees in MTL's 4-3 loss to Chicago:

"22 added minutes, red card on the (Chicago) GK that isn't given... 3rd goal came from a corner that shouldn't have been, 1st goal was offside...

Something was taken away from my guys."

[Austin Lindberg @LindbergWords]

@motomatters What’s fascinating to me in all this is that Quartararo has been asking for this for two years now, while both Dovizioso and Crutchlow have downplayed the importance of more power. Fabio got what he wanted and Yamaha are further away than ever.

Higher when lights go out: Raúl’s heart rate or his tire temperature? #QatarGP

[Austin Lindberg @LindbergWords]

This kid has talent pouring out of his ears. I have high expectations for his rookie season, but they might not be high enough.

[MotoGP™🏁 @MotoGP]

You've got to be joking! 😅

@37_pedroacosta saves them both! ✅

#QatarGP 🇶🇦

[Austin Lindberg @LindbergWords]

@mikefromwisco To my knowledge, this is the latest reporting on the subject, but I don’t think an announcement has been made yet: https://t.co/Ohwmq13nhT

[Adam Stern @A_S12]

.@MotoGP is in advanced talks with @WBD to move its U.S. media rights to the network’s channels from NBC, per sources, as the global motorcycle racing series looks for growth in the U.S.

🔲All Saturday sprints and Sunday main races would air live.

The @MotoGP season gets underway this weekend at #QatarGP. Still trying to decide which of these 22 riders is most deserving your fandom? Here's one reason to root for each of them: https://t.co/AY87JTduJe

[Austin Lindberg @LindbergWords]

@motomatters Previous broadcaster showed one race live. Its “how to watch” webpage made no mention of Sprints. This is an enormous step forward.

Max Verstappen started 2024 the way he finished 2023: with another victory. The three-time world champion showed no signs of slowing down in the #BahrainGP. @Edmondson_F1: https://t.co/F7OlffthNG

[Alanis King @alanisnking]

NASCAR is really good right now. We’ve undergone a huge shift in tracks, cars, rules, and even drivers, and I constantly add new “bucket list” events to my calendar.

I recently talked to @BenKennedy33 about how NASCAR plans to stay this way.
