Last 3 Race Weekends have been nothing less than distaster/heartbreaks for Yellow Army and Valentino Rossi alike. While The Doctor seemed pretty confident on Saturday's, he crashed on Sunday's. But the question that arises here is why so frequent falls? Simon Patterson has given pretty good analysis about it. Have a read. Since his return to Yamaha in 2013, Valentino Rossi has built a new style of MotoGP career for himself, challenging at the front of the championship not through outright speed but through consistency and being close to podium contention nearly every weekend. In fact, that consistency has become such a Rossi trait that it almost handed him his last championship success in 2015 – a year where he took four wins to Jorge Lorenzo’s seven and Marc Marquez’s five but managed to keep the fight going until the final round. However, that reliable form has deserted him in recent rounds this year, with Sunday’s crash out of the French Grand Prix marking his third DNF in t...

MotoGP is the best Motorcycle racing event and one of the best Racing events overall, challenged only by Formula 1. It consists of many races, usually about 18, in different parts of the world. Yet, where ever you go, irrespective of country, region etc, you will find one Color and one Number everywhere. The sea of Yellow Flags and number 46, has been around in MotoGP from the time I have been watching it.

MotoGP, the fastest 2 wheel sport in the world, is facing a real problem in last few years, LACK OF NEW RECORDS.   Not that the riders are not of that caliber any more, obviously we have Marc Marquez, Maverik Vinales, Quartarao, Pol and Valentino Rossi, the Doctor on the track, so what has changed?  Michelin became the Tyre supplier in MotoGP in 2016 and still Bridgestone has track records for about half of the tracks on the calendar.  Michelin has race records at Jerez, Le Mans, Losail, Misano, Mugello, Sachsenring, Sepang and Valencia. Bridgestone holds race records at Aragon, Assen, Brno, COTA, Motegi, Phillip Island and Termas. In a sport like MotoGP where technology is advancing at such fast pace, five years is really a very long time to keep your records. So what is the reason for that?  2 major reasons I can think of: Firstly, Michelin Tyres, although Michelin’s front slick precedes its rear slick whenever MotoGP riders take to the track, in terms of performan...
