Copy everything, change nothing
No one, not even the béchamel-scoffing staff at Aprilia, expected the Aprilia RS-GP to be this good in 2026. Looking like a stealth bomber that’s been mated with a light aircraft using UFO technology, Aprilia’s black beast looks amazing. But just looking good doesn’t always equate to performance – ask Kurtis Roberts… who coincidentally falls…
In honour of Marco Bezzecchi fight with the marshal this weekend we give you our motorsport punch-up awards for Brno! Punch-up 1: Alan Carter vs the marshal at Silverstone 1986 Back in the mid-80s, a punch to the hooter was a standard way to explain your point of view. Indeed, it’s still the main form…
The Eternal Romantic Award Italian men will always tell their woman that she’s the only woman in the world… right after he’s passionately kissed his mother for ten minutes, telling her that she’s the most beautiful woman in the world. Grand gestures, zero follow-through, and cliché words like “bella” thrown around like confetti. This award…
Winners Alex Marquez It’s hard to imagine how going from “title favourite” to “broken neck and not a title favourite” could ever realistically be classed as a win. But somehow, against all logic, it is. Bravo, universe. The hideous crash — courtesy of KTM’s masterful USB-C-to-ECU disconnection skills — saw Marquez Lite career out of…
The Rude Waiter Award French waiters: arrogant pricks who treat you like a stain in their sacred dining hall. Wave for the bill and you get a glare that screams “Disappear, bastard.” They live to humiliate you while fleecing you for bread and a €12 bottle of water that tastes like it was filtered through…
Sadly, it looks almost certain that the clumsy Italian-Brazilian hybrid Franco Morbidelli will be unceremoniously booted out of the MotoGP circus at the end of the season. This is devastating news for our team here at MGPNews — statistically speaking, we rely on the zany antics of Morbidelli for over 73% of our ‘jokes’. Without…
What’s happening? With the punch-up in the Middle East showing no real signs of stopping, the entire western world is being plunged into an energy crisis which could seriously limit our morning oat lattes. With the US having poked the Persian hornet’s nest, Iran decided to close the Strait of Hormuz faster than a KTM…
Winners Aprilia: Dare we dream? It’s not that we want Ducati to fail…well maybe it actually is, but more than anything MotoGP fans deserve at least one other manufacturer capable of regularly winning. And we at MGPNews couldn’t wish for a better choice than Aprilia. Why? Because their bike looks like the lovechild of a…
It’s only gone and happened. Labia Media have officially dumped the best track on the MotoGP calendar and will replace it with a coma-friendly street circuit in 2027. Seriously? What’s happening? We find out… So what’s this Phillip’s Island place? Ask any true MotoGP fan what their favourite track is and most would say…
February’s three day MotoGP test at Sepang was our first real look at all the 2026 riders and machines in action. There were many talking points, but none louder than Yamaha’s sorry state. The Japanese firm turned up with their all new-shiny Temu-Ducati hoping to turn the tide on their wilting performances…only to find themselves…
