Factory Aprilia rider Marco Bezzecchi could receive a boost for Sunday’s MotoGP Dutch Grand Prix after the team’s development rider Lorenzo Savadori successfully tested new parts on Saturday. Bezzecchi, who won the British Grand Prix last month, could thus build on a positive Saturday on which he qualified fifth and finished third. Savadori, usually found in the lowest reaches of…

TQ, the German force behind some of the lightest and quietest e-bike motors on the market, just took a leap forward – again. Barely weeks after debuting the lightweight HPR60 e-bike drive system, the company has introduced the HPR40, now claiming the title of the lightest and most efficient mid-drive motor in the world. Tailored for road and gravel e-bikes,…

Fabio Quartararo delivered the return to form he promised ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix weekend, scorching to a fourth MotoGP pole position of the year at Assen on Saturday.

The HappyRun G300 Pro is the epitome of an out-of-class electric bike. That is to say, it has many of the components of an electric bicycle, key among them the functional pedals, but its extremely high power and speed place it well outside the limits of traditional e-bike classifications. The result? Basically, an electric motorcycle with pedals. And I’ve got…

Despite two terrifying crashes, Marc Marquez didn’t suffer any significant injuries and, above all, he didn’t lose his sense of humour after requiring stitches in his chin. At the start of the first practice session, Marquez had a hard fall at almost 200kph, hitting the Assen circuit with such force that his hand lost circulation. And in the afternoon, he…

The MotoGP grid has pinned the blame for Friday’s crash-strewn day at the Dutch TT firmly on Michelin’s medium front tyre, repeating frequently-heard criticism of the middle of their three front tyre choices. Two red flags – and six fallers in the first seven minutes – featured in the second practice session, all the riders escaping relatively unscathed. One of…

A second painful fall of the day for Marc Marquez rounded off a twice red-flagged and incredibly crash-strewn second Assen MotoGP practice session. Marquez had recovered from an initial fall to go fastest in the morning, and then while on a potential session-topping afternoon lap he lost his Ducati’s front end going into the fast Ruskenhoek left-hander and slid at…

Ducati factory riders Marc Marquez and Francesco Bagnaia are happy with the way MotoGP stewarding has evolved under Simon Crafar in 2025. Each was summoned to race direction following their contact early in last weekend’s Italian Grand Prix. The purpose, however, was discussion rather than sanction. “For me and for the stewards it was a racing incident, but they wanted…

I first found out about the Maeving RM1S when it popped up on my Instagram feed. That is how things work these days; marketing is all focused on social media. At first glance I could see it was a seriously good-looking bike, British-designed and with electric power it probably had punchy performance. But like all things on social media I…

The European Commission finally gave the green light for Liberty Media to buy MotoGP promoter Dorna earlier this week, paving the way for the series to come under the media giant’s wing. The confirmation came a day too late for the press to ask the current riders how they felt about the takeover at the Italian Grand Prix – but…

Round 10 of the 2025 MotoGP season comes on the last weekend of June and that can only mean one thing; the TT Circuit Assen has hosted MotoGP since 1949 and seen legends star in the Dutch GP. 2025 is no different and MotoGP’s spiritual home will be as exciting as ever. Thursday welcomed the riders and the fans to…

I know, it sounds like clickbait math, but it’s real: you can cover 6,000 miles for just $160 in fuel. There’s a catch, though. It’s not gasoline. Oh, and it’s not even in a car. You’ll need to trade in your four wheels for two. Specifically, you’ll need something like the Ryvid Anthem, a lightweight, street-legal electric motorcycle that was…

Assen is the only venue that has hosted a Grand Prix every year since our inaugural season in 1949, with the sole exception of 2020. This year also marks the […]  read more www.roadracingworld.com

Marc Marquez secured a superb Italian Grand Prix win after defeating MotoGP title rivals Francesco Bagnaia and Alex Marquez in a close fight over the opening stages of the race. After the lights went out, Marquez got a much better start than in the sprint race and was level with Bagnaia heading into the first corner, but Bagnaia wasn’t going…

“I hopped on to an electric motorcycle in Kigali, Rwanda, and I was happy to see that the motorcycle taxi operator was a woman. It’s been a while since I got onto a motorcycle operated by a woman. I was very excited because getting one is like winning the lottery. The rider, Ange Uwingeneye, has an extraordinary story: both her…
