Best race at Valencia Moto GP

alan joy, 12 November 2009 15:19

Just back from Valencia where we froze, was it ever cold! Bradley did his usual excellent job, pity it was second AGAIN. Ben Spies kept us on out toes with his overtaking manoevres, and the 250 race was entertaining which could have ended in disaster for the eventual world champ. Did anybody see the last race for the youngsters on ...

Thanks, James Toseland, for everything you’ve done for British motorcycling in the past two years. If you hadn’t had the guts to risk the move from a safe home in WSB to leap into the raging MotoGP waters, Britain wouldn’t have had a single rider in motorcycle racing’s glamour class. Motorcycling fans have long complained – rightly so – that ...

Ben Spies declared himself "super happy" after he ended an impressive Yamaha MotoGP debut in seventh place in Valencia yesterday.

The reigning World Superbike champion came out on top in a thrilling battle involving ...

Casey Stoner could not hide his frustration and disappointment after the Aussie crashed out on the warm-up lap of yesterday's Valencia MotoGP race.

Valencia MotoGP: Valentino Rossi content with second

Matthew Birt, 09 November 2009 09:37

Valentino Rossi went some way to burying his Valencia jinx after he ended 2009 with a hard fought second place yesterday. The 30-year-old’s 13th podium of the season was his best in Valencia since 2004 though the Fiat Yamaha rider was powerless to prevent Dani Pedrosa from romping to a trademark runaway success. Rossi, who hasn’t won any of ...
