This is a limited version of the site because we're shit. The 'LIVE' feed is now something that happened two hours ago. MotoGP is run by the most incompetent people in world sport and it's not even close.

This is one of the stupidest days in MotoGP for some time.

Slow motion replays before we know how Alex is. Dorna are fucking ghouls. Liberty are fucking ghouls.

That was fucking horrifying. Wife came running into the room because of how I screamed. I hope with everything I have Alex is ok. Sickening.

Watched the Martin pass on Pecco multiple times. Watched MM on Acosta back to back. How one of those is a penalty and one isn’t is first grade nonsense. Either both are or both aren’t Simon.

Trent of Trunkman @trunkmanuk.bsky.social · 28/03/2026
If MM got a penalty in Thailand, Martin should get one here. Neither deserved one but Crafar has about as consistent as an early model Alfa Romeo.

MotoGP, much as I love it, is a deeply unserious enterprise as far as sporting leagues go. This is embarrassing. No wonder the wider public thinks it’s a joke half the time.

Credit where it’s due. That tuk tuk race this morning was quality.

Well that would’ve been an all time classic until Crafar decided to make sure it was all about him. Terrible decision. #ThaiGP

You can verify this by heading over to patriots dot win and seeing how they are celebrating the murder of a US citizen. Their only criticism of the government is that they should be murdering more people

America are the bad guys now. That’s unquestionable. They have admitted to invading a country for oil. What the fuck does the world do to stop this insane dictator? Serious question.

It's almost like building a load of hype around the first pre-season test and then having it in Valencia in late November is a really, really stupid idea... #MotoGP

If you’re making a new MotoGP Hall of Fame, and your selection criteria excludes the likes of Anton Mang, Angel Nieto, Wayne Gardner and Max Biaggi from being admitted, might I suggest your Hall of Fame is severely flawed.

Kelso rides like he’ll get in trouble from his mum if he tries to make an overtake every time he’s in a pack like that. He’s so incredibly passive. #SanMarinoGP

I wish I could say that one day Valentino Rossi would condemn the sort of behaviour his fans indulge themselves in, but he won’t, he encourages it. The adulation of Rossi continues to baffle me.

I'm absolutely seething with rage at this. This is the stupidest decision in a long line of stupid decisions by Dorna. I have, multiple times, proposed making a film, at our own expense, about the great science & engineering of the Ducati MotoE bikes to be told NO. Dorna literally refusing publicity

I greatly enjoy it when I get some sort of hateful abuse from a person I’ve never heard of, then when I try to look them up they’re automatically blocked by the ‘bigot’ algorithm and are followed by all the regular A List Fuckwits.

Ah good, and we're now replaying the crash before we know how the riders are. Top work 👏

There was zero chance there was going to be a green flag finish the second that crash happened so why the fuck did they wait until two corners before the end to throw the red??? Unnecessarily dangerous decision. #DutchGP

That was textbook Dorna TV direction. When a rider is sliding through traffic like that CUT AWAY FOR FUCK’S SAKE.

There is a particular MotoGP ‘independent’ journalist that is such a Dorna shill it is absolutely laughable. I am honestly surprised how many people put up with it without calling them out.

I'm genuinely SO excited about the new ocean map that will be at the heart of the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich when this hall reopens on June 7th. It's an unusual ocean-focussed map with so much detail, and it's just brilliant. 🌊🌊 Here's a sneak peak. www.rmg.co.uk/stories/ocea...
