Do you want to know the guilty pleasure of any rider? It’s that split second during a heated battle, that magic moment where you see your opponent’s movements slipping, slipping and then, finally, the crash. Nothing serious, mind you.

Thinking about motorbike engineering, the first thing that springs to most peoples' minds are the nuts and bolts: the incredibly complicated moving engine parts, hydraulics and all the other things that you'd entrust a mechanic to fix with his toolbox.

BONUS EPISODE: Peter Does Sachsenring 17:06

8d ago17:06

17:06

On paper, the Sachsenring in Germany mainly stands out for being the shortest track in the entire MotoGP tournament. Meanwhile, on the asphalt itself, it mainly demands attention for being an anti-clockwise, lefthanded motorpark-meets-rollercoaster adrenaline rush. This week, Peter's going to tell us all about where to go fast, where to go cautious…

Ask any heart surgeon, and they’ll tell you a pacemaker is a little device that’s meant to keep your heartbeat from going out of control. But at Assen we got to see a different kind of pacemaker in the form of Pecco Bagnaia, who absolutely dominated this race and drove up the pulse of all other riders as they struggle to keep up.

We called it: Marquez is coming to Ducati! But he’s definitely not the only one changing teams, as MotoGP faces one of its biggest shuffles in years.
