@Stephen78857051 First photo of a leg off a peg?

Coventry's Tommy Knudsen leading John Cook of Ipswich. These two clubs had some great meetings back in the day.

@Toddw_12 So cool. Where's the time gone?

The 90's 🥵🎉💪🤗

@matoxley Gotta say as a fan, this format is the best ever. P2 is like qualy. Qualy is life and death. Then I get the Sprint. Bit of a settler but there's points so the smart guys are really at it. Then still a GP to go. Unreal and can't miss a single minute

More than ever, this sprint is FP4 with points 😎

@matoxley Man what a Lawsonesq performance. Shades of 89. #fuckaprillia 😉

MM93 said earlier today, "We are defending in a good way" ie his shoulder still isn't fully fixed, which makes that sprint victory fairly ominous 😎😎👏👏

@matoxley Saw this pop up a week before your pod. Didn't realise the timing of it though.

What are the chances - Netflix Brazil released a film about the 1987 Goiânia nuclear incident a few weeks ago. Horrific when the little girl starts playing with the radioactive powder - she was one of four fatalities youtube.com/watch?v=s0wVgh…

@matoxley Not as far as the F1 season 😉 Money talks. The rest of us walk.

You have to wonder - if the IEA says the Iran war is creating the “worst energy shock in history” and the conflict continues to escalate - just how far the 2026 MotoGP season is going to get

@UprightSpeedway No one could convince me that one of these lads on one of these bikes doesn't score 5 points in a current GP - with 20 laps practice before the start.

Those young fellas better watch out, look who I saw getting his Weslake ready for the new season

@Stephen78857051 Yes it is a short one. Most guys have it long enough to be able to do certain things without it pulling out/off. Some have it very short and tight and some pull it as they come into the pits. Plug it back in as they get onto the bike the next time. I never did that.

@PeterPono84 Me too but thought it was a bit too short?

I wonder what's going on here between Ivan Mauger & Buddy Robinson & what is that Buddy is holding🤔. Buddy, born in Honolulu looked to have a promising career until a badly broken ankle sustained in a track crash @ Bakersfield Speedway in November of 1984 ended it.

@Stephen78857051 When I went road racing after speedway, I had the same cord fitted to my CBR600. Should've seen the road racers faces when they said what's that? And I replied to cut the engine when I crash. It was like they never thought of crashing where I think Speedway was the opposite.

@PeterBom4 @MotoGP @YamahaMotoGP @matoxley I'm sure times have changed etc etc however it was always a rule with chain that a half link was not as strong as a full link. I'm worried if they can't find a wheelbase and sprocket combination to be able to get rid of that.

Yamaha's V4 project might be young, they seems to be very sure what swingarm lenght they need, hence the 'half link' in the chain. 📸Cr. 100008Foto #oxleybommotogp podcast. @MotoGP @YamahaMotoGP @matoxley

@Stephen78857051 Ivan would have been a bugger to chase. Rarely went faster than he needed to do to win so a lot of guys were probably riding around thinking they had the speed to catch and pass him. He spent a lot of time focused on risk reduction.

Martin Ashby chasing Ivan Mauger in heat 1 of the Robins BL match against Exeter @ the Abbey in 1974. The Robins led by 12 points @ one stage but the Falcons inspired by Mauger who brilliantly team rode his partner home for maximum points in heats 11 & 13 fought back to win 40-38

@UprightSpeedway 1990 World Pairs Final this fella was on fire.

Hozzám hozzátok

@UprightSpeedway Mmmm does anyone other than Vaculik have his throttle hand and arm down that low?

His style reminds me of someone that is riding now 🤔

@AntonioRamosGP I haven't been there, but I've done that! The Schwantz I mean.

Luca Cadalora 🇮🇹 Mick Doohan 🇦🇺 Kevin Schwantz 🇺🇸 #500cc

@RacingBackPod @ktm450sx Nice one guys. I'd love to hear Randy talk about his last 2 podiums. Especially the race on the Cagiva at Spa.

At 20 years old, battling a 2-time World Champion in the 500 CC class was a peak moment, even without the win. Medal contention at that age, on unfamiliar circuits, was extraordinary. #Racing #Motorsports #YouthAchievement

@UprightSpeedway Oh yeah. Looking back, when has there been 3 such different characters, styles, approaches to the sport on the WF podium? I don't know but interesting thought.

These 2 would probably feature in my all time top ten favourites. 1 and 2 in the world as well, for a little while 🫣

@UprightSpeedway Looks like it was a nasty one. Was always the same official when I crashed at Gosford or seemed like it. "Are you ok Peter?" Me, usually but not always, "I think so". "Did you black out?" Me, "no, but I wish I did!"

The fella on the right wants to help but also doesn't want to get his overalls dirty #Dilemma

@ringmagazine Man, what a fight. Who, past or present whoops either of these guys on that night? Same goes for Manilla. As Ali said about Joe, they'd have whooped anybody.
