By Simon Bowen on 14/01/2011 14:24:15

By David Emmett on 13/07/2007 00:03:24
MotoGP goes German, and gets twisty
, with the margin of victory under a second in all but two of the nine premier class races held here so far, the difference within 1/10th of a second at a couple of those races. For the track really rewards guts, determination, and a willingness to stuff the bike

Liquid-cooled multi-valve engines. Some bikes even had aluminium frames. Yes, it was 1989
Jefferies pushing one back to the pits with a hole in its crankcases.At least it went round corners, which is more than can be said for Suzuki’s GSX-R1100K. Revamped with a bigger, 1,127cc engine and shorter, racier chassis the big GSX-R was crazily fast

By David Emmett on 25/10/2006 14:05:07
Hayden or Rossi? MotoGP's final race will settle the title.
they believe is rightfully theirs will be duly rewarded in 2007. Toni Elias has already helped Hayden, by pipping Rossi to the post in Portugal, taking the win, and a valuable 5 points, from Rossi by just 2/1000ths of a second. Elias' team mate Marco Melandri

MotoGP is nearly upon us. Can Stoner do it again, or will Rossi stage a mighty comeback? And how will Toseland fare in the top flight?
on the grid, the racing should be closer. This year, MotoGP can justly claim to be the premier class of motorcycle racing, as the 18 riders who will line up on the grid at Qatar include 11 world champions, with 24 world titles between them, from 125s, 250s

MotoGP Assen Preview - No Sleep Till Breukelen
By David Emmett on 25/06/2008 22:37:44
A quick hop across the North Sea sees MotoGP hit the halfway point. Rossi once closed a title deficit of over 45 points, but can Casey Stoner do the same?
of supporting his former team mate Rossi, Edwards is in with a genuine shot at the win here.James Toseland isn't too bad at Assen either. Like Edwards, he came within inches of victory here in the second Superbike race last year, denied the double by just 0.009
