We've already sold MORE THAN HALF of the latest print of MARC MÁRQUEZ The Biography and we won’t print any more for several years. This is the ONLY MM93 bio that covers his life all the way through his remarkable comeback to his 2025 title success. Click the link matoxley.bigcartel.com/product/marc-m…

@DennisNoyes @CW1Miles @bobpockrass @IUMediaSchool @kaitlynvincie Prestige is also lost due to grim dilution. You can be the one journalist on site telling the story from a race, but there’s 100s of Facebook etc pages telling the story from their bedrooms. How does the fan know which is which?

@CW1Miles @bobpockrass @IUMediaSchool @kaitlynvincie Hiding the key information behind a mysterious but provocative headline and burying the basic "news" to increase online duration of audience presence to final words or minutes of YouTube etc. All hoke and trickery and keywords. This is why journalism has lost so much prestige.

Media has changed immeasurably since @bobpockrass and I were attending classes 40 years ago at the Ernie Pyle School of Journalism (@IUMediaSchool). As Bob explains to @kaitlynvincie, however, the foundation for good reporting remains the same: "Ask a lot of questions."

@popsyosh34 I remember seeing him at some press event - I was too callow

@matoxley Did you meet him ?

🤣🤣🤣😫😫😫

@matoxley Already implemented on FIM EWC: constructor points are scored by the 2 highest placed bikes for each manufacturer Don't need to look for inspiration in F1 (if you want to make it popular among moto fans 😆)

It should've been Mike Hailwood's 86th birthday last week - this is a lovely tribute to the man and a great exploration of his special character by @TheBishF1 motorsportmagazine.com/articles/singl…

@TheHewman MotoGP riders chillin on Insta

@matoxley Any motorbike news?

Norwegian artist Christian Bloom drew this in December 2016, before Trump 1. Some of us knew even then that the man would be a total shit show for the world

@Andyhb84 @CraigBr22288103 @match1uk @Official_CS27 Stoner retired of his own accord

@CraigBr22288103 @match1uk @matoxley @Official_CS27 Mm wanted him out of honda

20 years ago today Casey Stoner scored his first #MotoGP pole position in Qatar, for his second race in the premier class. Due to a missed flight, he had spent the night sleeping in an airport lounge, only just making it to Losail in time for FP1, which he topped. This was the day everyone knew Stoner was something very special

Telling everyone how impressive my first gay bareback orgy was

“MotoGP should be careful about taking anything from Formula 1, but F1 does have a better constructors’ system.” —@matoxley @Motor_Sport #MotoGP motorsportmagazine.com/articles/motor…

Why I think the #MotoGP constructors championship point-scoring system needs an F1-style overhaul - twice in the last two decades alone, the title has been won by the results of one rider, which really shouldn’t be possible motorsportmagazine.com/articles/motor…

@bduke01 @racecontrl @OxleyBom @PeterBom4 They are esses, not chicanes

@racecontrl @matoxley @OxleyBom @PeterBom4 I always thought that Mugello has an excess of chicanes. Most of them are not there to slow the bikes down but they are still chicanes

Our guest on today's episode is Bob Barnard. He made some things you might have heard of, like the Philip Island track. Want to know what goes into designing a good track? And what could go wrong? So are we! 🎧 LISTEN HERE: oxleybom.buzzsprout.com/2181509/episod… #motogp #motorcycle #racing

@OxleyBom @matoxley @PeterBom4 For those who wish to learn more about track design, construction and operations I offer one on one courses here in Spain. Contact me if you are interested.

@SirGuyGuisborne Yep. The weirdness is long gone

Any regrets yet from @Nigel_Farage @BorisJohnson @trussliz @RobertJenrick @Jacob_Rees_Mogg for backing this man to be President?

@myguestmrwang Oulton was always special 😅

@matoxley It looks like one of the guys in the background has a broadsword in the paddock. Wild times.

And here's a longer docco of the Oulton Transatlantic round in 1977 - watch how King Kenny destroys everyone... until his bike stops. I love these old clips because they're racing social history too - check out the paddock scene at the start! youtube.com/watch?v=tpCEyL…
