When will we see the REAL Marc Marquez after heroic Mugello #motogp return?

We answer that question & more on our review of the #italiangp!

Do you reckon we could see something even more explosive from the reigning champ in Hungary?

Adam, Neil and David bring you a quick-fire review of #MotoGP at Mugello. Is Mugello now Aprilia country? Could there have been 4 Aprilias in the top 4? Where has Bagnaia's revival come from? Is Marc Marquez' shoulder really better? All this and more!

Guenther Steiner just did a roundtable with some journos. Said, "I'm pretty open to taking a chance on a Moto2 rider. This is an opportunity for us. You can mix experience with somebody who could be next star."

Senna Agius linked with Tech3. Could bode well for the young Aussie.

This FB reply to my Mugello 1976 post is extraordinmary and shows how times have changed. It's from legendary Team Roberts engineer Mike Sinclair, who was then working with Stu Avant, whose team-mates were Tordi & Buscherini, killed in the 350 and 250cc races. Avant finished 7th in the later 500 GP

Matthew Balchin

Ahead of the recent Donington Park event, we learnt that Matt Balchin had very sadly passed away whilst in Portugal. Prior to this, there had been deep concerns of his whereabouts and welfare following his reported disappearance.

Matt served as the Co-Ordinator of the British Talent Cup, now the Moto4 British Cup, providing coaching and unstinting support and guidance to riders in the Junior classes in the UK and Europe.

On behalf of the British Championship community, we offer our deepest condolences to Matt’s family, friends and colleagues.

A memorial service will be held on Tuesday 16th June at St James Church, Emsworth, Hampshire.

Why was the #catalangp one to forget for Jorge Martin?

From 5 crashes (6 if you include the test) to unsavoury scenes in the box just after the race - it was a real rollercoaster for the #motogp championship challenger.
