🔧 A rally crew can usually change a wheel in under a minute. But what happens if you give them only the basic tools you find in the back of the road car? ⏱️

@matoxley I genuinely suggested this back when I worked for Dorna in 2015! You have the telemetry data, it’s actually quite easy to overlay that into racing lines, when they brake, accelerate etc 💪

There was a lot of discussion on the commentary about the eyes on Katsuyuki Nakasuga’s helmet during the Suzuka 8 Hours race. Originally used by British rider John “Mooneyes” Cooper in the 1960s, the eyes were adopted by Japanese motocross rider, Tadashi Suzuki (1/2)

@ADHDForReal 2+4=6, 7+8=15, 60+15=75

Something a little bit different for you…

[Yamaha Racing @yamaharacingcom]

Ahead of his home round at Donington Park this weekend, we caught up with Jonathan Rea to find out about his connection to the legendary road racer Joey Dunlop 🙌

It is a story about two World Champions, three generations of one family, and the bike that links them all...

[Luke Wilkins @Motorcycleluke]

The definition of bravery and fortitude ❤️

With about 90 minutes to go at Spa, Jason O'Halloran, who has been outstanding all race in the wet, has a nasty looking highside while opening up a gap at the front 💥

Despite being in obvious pain, he bravely brought the YART R1 back to the box and the team managed to fix it in under four minutes before sending Karel Hanika out in P4 💪

The good news is that despite feeling a bit battered and bruised, Jason seems to be okay 👍

How fast?!?

[Yamaha Racing @yamaharacingcom]

Blink and you’ll miss it 👀

This is the Yamalube YART Yamaha EWC Official Team mechanics, the fastest tyre crew in the game, showing us how it is done 🛞⏱️

Pure precision under pressure… but do you think you could beat them? 🤔

A true stand up (or sit down for most of his career) genius!

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

Here’s the incomparable Dave Allen discussing how to teach your child the time. It’s one of the most perfectly delivered stand up comedy performances of all time. Absolute genius.

[Luke Wilkins @Motorcycleluke]

@matoxley 202 crashes in total, and I believe every team crashed at least once (but need to fact check the second point!). Yart crashed three times and still won…I love endurance 💪

[Yamaha Racing @yamaharacingcom]

You may be wondering why the fuel technician is balancing the fuel refiller on a bar stool...that's because it is rather heavy!

The refiller, which weighs 10kg alone, holds 27 litres of fuel, so can you guess how much it weighs in total?

@denkmit Same as R1…and it’s still pretty good in EWC ;-)

Every day you wake up you’re a day closer to the end. Buy the fucking bike

[Luke Wilkins @Motorcycleluke]

@SirGuyGuisborne @matoxley Nice! Awesome article as always 🙌

[Luke Wilkins @Motorcycleluke]

@matoxley If you don’t mind me demonetising your content ;-)

[Luke Wilkins @Motorcycleluke]

@LarsIbKristians I was thinking the Omega curve too…I might be completely wrong though (I normally am lol) but what a great picture!

[Luke Wilkins @Motorcycleluke]

Blinking is for wimps 😂🤯

[Hyundai Motorsport @HMSGOfficial]

Pure, 100% focus with @OttTanak. Never blink, never lift.

Not a bad start 💪

[Yamaha Racing @yamaharacingcom]

Debut races don’t get much better than that 🤩
