We've already sold almost half the 2nd edtion of MARC MÁRQUEZ The Biography, the last print/edition until after he retires. This is the ONLY bio that covers his life from his conception (!) to the end of 2025, analysing what makes him so strong through in-depth interviews with his engineers, rivals etc matoxley.bigcartel.com/product/marc-m…

@ElliottShackled That's the usual incorrect assumption - he didn't choose the number and that's not why it was chosen

This was what Marc Márquez was doing the last time Brazil hosted a #MotoGP round in July 2004. Why did he start using #93 in 2004, after starting his career with #35? Not even he knew the truth! But all is revealed in Marc Márquez The Biography matoxley.bigcartel.com/product/marc-m…

@matoxley I've always wondered if 93 is 2 X 46 + 1?

Thanks to the 'holeshot' systems at the front and rear, @MotoGP bikes now are rumoured to take less than 2.0 seconds to reach 100 km/h. This acc time is measured from the moment the bike starts to move (long, acc) until true vehicle speed (mostly HQ GPS). @matoxley

Push starts were dumb - best rider could spend Friday and Saturday tweaking his motorcycle to be the fastest guy, then end up last into Turn 1. Is it a world championship for riders or for push starters? Also, push starts were fine with 50bhp, v dangerous with 150bhp plus. Re Rocket Ron Haslam, yes, he was good, but the reed-valve NS helped a lot. Also, leading into Turn 1 is great but what racing is really about is leading out of the last turn

Possibly the coolest motorcycle photo of all time. Racer/actor Steve McQueen riding a Triumph TR6 Trophy past a Mini in London, summer of 1963 😎😎😎

@AlexKnott241254 @PeterBom4 @MotoGP When something becomes 'easier' in racing, things doesn't get any easier for riders because it's easier for everyone, so they have to look elsewhere to make the difference. And riding a 300bhp motorcycle with zero supsension movement towards the first corner at 160mph IS NOT easy

@PeterBom4 @MotoGP @matoxley Thanks to electronics and rider aids, it's a essentially a pull and go scooter, no skill required to launch, pin it and hold on. Throttle control, clutch control, gear shifting, in old bike when you get it right its beautiful feeling
