Amazing performance from Quiles to win 2 weeks on from breaking his right collarbone. ‘I had to compensate with my left arm, my legs. My body was so tired, my legs were shaking at the end.’

Aprilia are the MotoGP manufacturer with the lowest budget, yet they are cleaning up in the 2026 #MotoGP season. How is that possible? Part of it is down to technical director Fabiano Sterlacchini. @neilmorrison87.bsky.social investigates... motomatters.com/analysis/202...

Marc on recovery in recent weeks: “It is what it is. (The right arm’s) working in a different way. It's not the arm of last year (but) it's not the first part of the season. It's different. So I’ll try to get used to it and find the 100% every weekend.”

Back to it at Silverstone. Diggia saying the warm up crash at Sachsenring affected him in the race. Found out later he had a small fracture in his arm. But well rested for this weekend.

Hakim Danish is the first Malaysian GP race winner since 2016 & the first to win a dry Grand Prix ever! Fantastic to see another fast rider from South East Asia winning in Moto3.

This is good to see. Bezzecchi went to see the marshal this morning to apologise. Ended in an embrace.

Aprilia’s appeal has been rejected! Bezzecchi will not take part in tomorrow’s Czech GP!

Neil Morrison @neilmorrison87.bsky.social · 20/06/2026

Wow. Bezzecchi’s been *suspended* from the rest of the Czech GP after his actions in the gravel trap today! It’s a big call. But after seeing the footage I don’t think it’s unjust…

Alex was faster this weekend than expected. Plus, important mentally to come back this weekend. But stiff, tired and wanted to avoid risks so felt better to withdraw before Quali.

Guenther Steiner just did a roundtable with some journos. Said, "I'm pretty open to taking a chance on a Moto2 rider. This is an opportunity for us. You can mix experience with somebody who could be next star." Senna Agius linked with Tech3. Could bode well for the young Aussie.

Marc is back, wearing protection on his right foot. Says he's here as he's confident he can do the full weekend. But knows he can't "with maximum intensity."

Acosta thinks MotoGP’s top speed record can go this weekend. Feels this RC16 can hit 368kph in the right situation. (Current record is 366.1kph)

“We’re lucky. Considering what happened to Alex, someone saved us (today).” Also revealed he had big impact in cervical in Turn1 crash, started to feel dizzy 3 laps into 2nd restart & had to slow down. “Maybe I wasn’t ready to race.”

Neil Morrison @neilmorrison87.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

Just in from LCR: NO open fractures, no bones exposed in the gravel. Johann is still undergoing further checks, & he is “fine”, considering the crash. Remarkable.

Neil Morrison @neilmorrison87.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

As if enough didn’t happen today… Mir loses his 3rd place due to tyre pressure infringement (Raul too). Bagnaia promoted to the podium for time being (also under investigation).

“Really a terrible day for us. We’re the best riders in the world, we know how to focus ahead of starts. But when I saw Johann (after the crash) I had flashbacks to Suzuka (in ‘25). Now adrenaline has gone it’s coming a really bad feeling in the stomach.”
