    5 things you need to know about the British GP | MotoGP 2026 Highlights

    Silverstone's first race back after the summer break was brutal. Riders crashed on the opening lap. Championship contenders retired. A man came back from collarbone surgery still missing a piece of bone. The British Grand Prix was not a race you survived — it was a race you got through. Raul Fernandez won it with authority. Contract extension confirmed on Thursday, holeshot snatched at Turn 1, and 2.5 seconds clear by the flag. He is riding with a confidence that is making people pay attention. Aprilia locked out the front row, led an all-Aprilia Sprint podium for the first time in history, and backed it up with another 1-2-3 in the Grand Prix. The Noale factory came back from the summer break looking like they never left. Marco Bezzecchi returned from surgery and got on the podium in both races. He is not fully fit. He finished third anyway. Jorge Martin extended his championship lead to 31 points. The title is not won, but the gap is real and growing. Maverick Vinales withdrew from Silverstone for further shoulder treatment — the latest chapter in a situation that has become as much about contracts as it has about recovery. Meanwhile in Moto2, championship leader Manuel Gonzalez sat up and celebrated winning the race with a full lap still to go. What followed was one of the most chaotic final laps of the season. Filip Salac won. Gonzalez finished fourteenth. Dave has the numbers on what Silverstone means for the title fight. Nicky has the Fernandez story and everything that happened in the last ten minutes of that Moto2 race. 🎙️ ABOUT THE SHOW You, Me & MotoGP is a South African couple's take on the MotoGP World Championship. Dave brings the lap times, tyre data and race strategy. Nicky brings the drama, the riders, and the emotional gut-punch. Together we make sense of the most exciting motorsport on the planet.

    Nobody Saw the 2027 MotoGP Grid Coming: Breaking Down Every Move

    The biggest grid reshuffle in MotoGP history just confirmed in the Sachsenring paddock. Here is what happened and why. Francesco Bagnaia — two-time world champion, the man who defined the Ducati era — signs a four-year deal with Aprilia. Pedro Acosta joins Marc Marquez at the Ducati factory team. Acosta's own words on sharing a garage with the reigning champion: "He's at the end of his career. I'm at the start." That is not a quote designed for harmony. Alex Marquez and Fabio Di Giannantonio both leave Ducati for KTM factory — KTM replacing Acosta with two riders simultaneously. Joan Mir goes to Gresini Ducati alongside Daniel Holgado, promoted directly from Moto2. Jorge Martin, who is currently leading the 2026 championship on the best bike in the field, is heading to Yamaha — a team that finished last in constructors this year. None of this is random. All of it is about 850cc. The regulation reset coming in 2027 is the real driver behind every single one of these moves — and once you understand that, the logic starts to make sense. Dave and Nicky explain who wins, who is gambling, and who might be making the mistake of their career. Marquez won the race, by the way. His tenth at the Sachsenring. Equalling Agostini's all-time record. Bezzecchi fractured his collarbone in qualifying and went home for surgery. 🎙️ ABOUT THE SHOW You, Me & MotoGP is a South African couple's take on the MotoGP World Championship.

Acosta pulled in with a physical problem. Di Giannantonio served a long lap penalty and still finished fourth.

    Brno 2026: The Marshal Incident, Marquez's Third Win in Four Races & Ortola's Last-Corner Magic

    Marco Bezzecchi pushed a track marshal after crashing in the Sprint. The FIM suspended him from the Grand Prix. Marc Marquez won the race. The title fight is a completely different conversation now. Bezzecchi went into the weekend leading the championship by 40 points.

Ai Ogura took pole and pushed Marquez all the way to the chequered flag, 0.4 seconds covering them at the end. Jorge Martin served a double long-lap penalty from Hungary and finished ninth. Raul Fernandez reportedly raced with appendicitis. Pedro Acosta retired from fifth on the final lap with a technical problem. Ivan Ortola took his maiden Moto2 win at the last corner of the last lap — a stunning move on David Alonso with Filip Salac third. In Moto3, Hakim Danish won his first world championship race, coming through from 14th on the grid. Dave has the maths on what Marquez needs from here. Nicky has questions about whether Bezzecchi is rattled. 🎙️ ABOUT THE SHOW You, Me & MotoGP is a South African couple's take on the MotoGP World Championship.

    Marc Marquez wins his 100th Grand Prix at Balaton Park. Jorge Martin takes out his own teammate at Turn 1 for the second time. The title fight gets very complicated, very fast.

    Has MotoGP Gone Too Far? 🚨 2 Riders Hospitalised & Nobody Stopped the Race | Catalunya 2026 Recap

    Barcelona gave us three race starts, two red flags, two riders in hospital, and one of the most controversial results in recent MotoGP history. Pedro Acosta's KTM loses power on the straight at 300km/h. Alex Marquez has no time to react. The crash is horrifying. Then the race restarts and immediately gets red-flagged again at Turn 1. When it finally runs, Jorge Martin is taken out by his own Aprilia teammate Raul Fernandez while running second, loses the championship lead, and shoves his team manager in the pitlane. Fabio Di Giannantonio, riding with a damaged hand, wins for Valentino Rossi's VR46 team for the first time since 2023. Then the tyre pressure penalties come in and reshuffle the podium all over again. Bezzecchi, who was never in contention at the front, finishes fourth and extends his championship lead to 13 points. On a Sunday where everything went wrong. In Moto3, Maximo Quiles wins again, while Manuel Gonzalez nabs a hometown win in Moto2.Dave and Nicky make sense of the madness and ask the question: Has MotoGP gone too far? 🎙️ ABOUT THE SHOWYou, Me & MotoGP is a South African couple's take on the MotoGP World Championship.
