London-based journalist Abhishek firmly believes that two wheel action is better than four, yet he never misses a beat when it comes to scrutinising F1 and the WEC. Drawing inspiration from the ice and grit of Kimi Räikkönen, Jorge Lorenzo, and Casey Stoner, he brings a sharp, "on the limit" perspective to every race weekend. Off the track, he’s a hardcore Lionel Messi fan and diligently follows football, tennis, athletics, and cricket. When he finally unplugs, you’ll find him decoding a mystery thriller, enjoying a Batman graphic novel, or leveling up on his Nintendo Switch.
Jorge Martin’s sprint win yesterday was all down to the lightning-quick launch by his Aprilia machine. But his Sunday triumph was a surgically precise grind through the pack to raise the roof at a full-house Le Mans. Promoted one place to seventh on the grid after Marc Marquez’s withdrawal, the Martinator dug deep to chase […]
Jorge Martin needed just one corner. A missile launch off the line meant the Aprilia man could dare to swoop around the outside of the entire front-row trio. Pecco Bagnaia, Marc Marquez, and teammate Marco Bezzecchi were all passengers at the Dunlop chicane. The next thirteen laps at Le Mans were mere confirmation of Martin’s […]

It was bound to happen soon after Marc Marquez cut the pit lane entry on his way to sprint victory in Jerez.

Regardless, it got the entire MotoGP […]
Marc Marquez faces Q1 for the first time since Mandalika, another jolt to his championship defence. Home hero Johann Zarco, 12 months on from his famous victory here, scorched to the top of the timesheets and sent the grandstands wild. Friday at Le Mans didn’t disappoint. Honda’s rejuvenated form was on full display as the […]
MotoGP’s biggest weekend of the season is here. It’s Le Mans time! The motorcycle racing world heads to Sarthe in northwestern France for Round 5 of the 2026 world championship.

Yes, Bulega won. All three races, 16 in a row, including 12 straight in 2026 for the best start to a WorldSBK season. Anyone could have called it from a mile away. And yet, he felt he “didn’t have a perfect feeling.” But then, how can anyone question the man who is tearing apart all […]
Four rounds into the 2026 MotoGP season and Pecco Bagnaia sits ninth in the standings with 34 points, an average of 8.5 from a maximum of 37 available per race weekend. Ducati’s two-time world champion is not just struggling. He is statistically invisible. The trend has been a downward spiral since the last third of […]
Round 4 of the 2026 MotoGP World Championship will be doubly special for the Spanish fans. It’s the 40th consecutive year that the Circuito de Jerez – Angel Nieto has hosted a grand prix. Built in 1986, the track is located in a natural valley near Jerez de la Frontera, 90 kilometres south of Seville. […]
The impromptu spring break is over, and MotoGP is back! And what better place to go racing again than at Jerez? But there are plenty of narratives to ponder before the lights go out.

On Monday, tennis superstar Carlos Alcaraz won the 2026 Laureus World Sportsman of the Year award. But motorsport fans, and MotoGP in particular, would have felt hard done by another Spaniard missing out on the sporting Oscars yet again: Marc Marquez. This was not only his best possible shot at global glory, but also a […]
A winning rider really means business when all he says is to hope to see the interviewer again after the second race. And with the kind of form Nicolò Bulega is in right now, that’s barely being cocky. As expected, he made it a hat-trick of hat-tricks at Assen to continue his perfect season so […]
