Is there a cooler sponsor of motorcycle racing than DJ Carl Cox? Nope! 1) he's Carl Cox! 2) he's only in it for the love. Cox is joining forces with twice BSB champ Josh Brookes for this year's North West 200 Supersport races

Why the MotoGP constructors' championship needs overhauling The current constructors' championship doesn’t make any sense because it only judges the performance of each manufacturer’s fastest rider, which entirely defeats the point

Why I think the #MotoGP constructors championship point-scoring system needs an F1-style overhaul - twice in the last two decades alone, the title has been won by the results of one rider, which really shouldn’t be possible

Brazilian GP: Bezzecchi and Aprilia the winners, MotoGP the loser 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

Two months ago #MotoGP announced that Phillip Island will lose the Australian Grand Prix, because the much-loved venue’s infrastructure isn’t up to the high standards required by Liberty Media. Welcome to Goiânia!

'A MotoGP bike is an aeroplane that flies on the ground!' These are happy days for Aprilia, which leads the MotoGP constructors' championship for the first time in its history.
