Minor surgery for Diogo Moreira since Austria, to remove a screw from his wrist. Stresses it was very minor and he’s not having any problems/pain with it

KTM let Maverick ride the 850 for a few laps in Austria. He loves it. Says it feels ‘like a Moto2 bike but with a good engine’

Just super, super cool 🇯🇵

Anyone fancy a last minute trip to Lombok? A friend has had a last minute cancellation for his villa, only ten minutes from the track. Let me know if you’re interested and I can put you in touch

Bringing MotoGP to the people, not expecting the people to come to MotoGP 👏

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Heaven 🤩🤩🤩

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Proud to see the FIM continues to stand with Ukraine against fascism

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Mav’s back! 🥳

Twitter is the best information resource in the world while something significant is happening. Twitter is the worst information resource in the world in the days after something significant has happened.

What’s the point in having air miles and not spending them now and then? 😂

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Turns out that Doha airport has a gym and a jacuzzi 😂 Yoga, weights session, and a 5k on my layover

Not really a surprise someone thought that RAF Fairford would be a relatively easy target, given just how out in the open everything is there - even live explosives.

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Big bird time

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

When you convince yourself you’re an athlete and now flyaways looks like this 😂🚴🏻

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I saw a post this week about ‘if you had 24 hours and only $100 could you make it across an international border?’ I crossed an international border six times today while training 😂

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Signs that it’s flyaway time again

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Cycling to and from Parkrun felt like a good idea when I set off…

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

A certain racer’s obsession with a certain rule is starting to border on insanity…

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

FINALLY the 2027 MotoGP calendar is out!

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Toprak said this specifically about his race in Austria, where all the Yamahas were struggling, and has been completely taken out of context by the worst social media team in racing without them speaking to him 🤦‍♂️

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Unsurprisingly, an urgent interim injunction has been filed in Australian Federal Court to halt the development of the Adelaide circuit. A previous similar case argued that referral to the national Environmental Minister is needed to make sure conservation issues are addressed.

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

I really don’t see why people think the appointment of people from other sports is going to doom MotoGP, given the job that’s been done by the current people in charge…

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Goodbye, old friend RC213V. Hello… RC214V?

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Today was a very cool day! Coming soon to The Race’s podcast…

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Update to the regulations. Will be interesting to see if this changes for 2027

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Somkiat Chantra will replace Joan Mir in Motegi, because Taka Nakagami is already doing a wildcard

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Fair to say that this is the first big step by Liberty to change MotoGP

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

And no one shed a tear!

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Anyone curious about some testing times from yesterday? 🤔😉

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

A reminder that you’re not entitled as a fan to anyone’s private medical info, and that even if I did know, I wouldn’t tell you

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

There was some speculation that the 2027 season was going to conclude at Adelaide, but seems that's not the case. Still racing until Christmas next year...

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

More bad news for Joan Mir.

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Good news, everyone: 850s sound GREAT!

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

A city under siege since May. Thousands of people cut off from the world. No food delivered for months. No fresh water. Children hunted by drones. Hospitals out of medicine. But because it’s Oleshky, in Ukraine, the world doesn’t care. 🤬

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Would imagine that the likes of Quartararo and Bagnaia sre going to be even more pissed off now that 18 riders got to test Pirelli today - including a late entry for Maverick Vinales!

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Nice spot for lunch!

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Jeff: ‘Archie how does it feel to win?’ Archie: ‘FUCKING AMAZING!!!’ 😂😂😂

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Hell yeah 🇺🇸 can’t wait to see what 2027 brings for this kid!

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Front brake problems for Marc Marquez early on in the race. Says when he went wide at T1, the lever came right back to the bar 🙈

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Great to see both Sullivan Mounsey and Ethan Sparks at the sharp end of a Red Bull Rookies Cup race! 🇬🇧

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

1071 days since Pedro Acosta last won a Grand Prix!

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Interesting day for the title fight. Shout out to Taka Nakagami!

Simon Patterson @denkmit.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

A turn two slow motion slowing down lap crash is absolutely pantomime Pedro Acosta 😂
