Is there a cooler sponsor of motorcycle racing than DJ Carl Cox? Nope! 1) he's Carl Cox! 2) he's only in it for the love. Cox is joining forces with twice BSB champ Josh Brookes for this year's North West 200 Supersport races

New Oxley Bom #MotoGP pod! What will Liberty do with World Superbike? WSBK is ~1.1 seconds slower than MotoGP, so what happens with the 850s, because Liberty won’t let WSBK be faster! And how come WSBK is so close when the bikes cost ten times less?! oxleybom.buzzsprout.com/2181509/epis...

Ducati celebrates its centenary in 2026 but its motorcycle story didn’t start until US bombers destroyed its Borgo Panigale factory, which was making munitions for the German military. Plus how Ferrari suggested Ducati go desmo & how WSBK saved the brand www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/mot...

Ducati celebrates its 100 anniversary this year - but it's only been making motorbikes for 74 years. @matoxley.bsky.social on the WWII bombing raid that changed everything go.motorsportmagazine.com/4taem2f

New Oxley Bom #MotoGP podcast! And it's a tech scoop! Some factories are now using electric motors to create moments of clutch slip at the start & during upshifts to avoid costly wheelspin. How does this trickery work & is it legal? oxleybom.buzzsprout.com/2181509/epis...

Got a 6-page interview with Bol d'Or, Le Mans and EWC winner Dan Linfoot in the new edition of Bike magazine. He goes into real depth about the demands & challenges of 24 hour racing.

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 www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/mot...

New Oxley Bom #MotoGP pod! Super-cool chat with renowned racetrack engineer Bob Barnard, the man who gave us Phillip Island - photo is Bob building PI! 😎 He tells us how to make a good track, how to make a bad track and what went wrong at Goiania 😱 oxleybom.buzzsprout.com/2181509/epis...

COTA #MotoGP analysis 🚨 How Aprilia reached MotoGP’s summit: "Ideas come from people that are not shy" 😎 So how exactly did MotoGP’s smallest manufacturer get here and what does Ducati need to do with the Desmosedici to close the gap? www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/mot...

Two months ago #MotoGP announced that Phillip Island will lose the Australian Grand Prix, because the much-loved venue’s infrastructure isn’t up to the high standards required by Liberty Media. Welcome to Goiânia! www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/mot...

Oxley Bom Goiânia #MotoGP podcast - in which we get that sink-hole feeling. But before we talk civil engineering, we wax lyrical about Bezzecchi and Aprilia. They were in a different class on Sunday, so will they steamroll 2026? oxleybom.buzzsprout.com/2181509/epis...

We've already sold MORE THAN HALF of the latest print of MARC MÁRQUEZ The Biography & 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...

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...

Aprilia's infamous Cube was wild, crazy-fast, and unsuccessful. But the lessons the team learned are still being applied now, as it leads the #MotoGP constructors' table for the first time in its history Race manager Paolo Bonora tells @matoxley.bsky.social the story go.motorsportmagazine.com/41...

Aprilia's #MotoGP race manager Paolo Bonora started out writing software for the brutal 990cc Cube and creating the first traction control for 250cc GP bikes, so no one can better tell the story of Aprilia's journey to leading the constructors championship www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/mot...

We've already sold almost half the 2nd edtion of MARC MÁRQUEZ The Biography, the last print/edition until after he retires. matoxley.bigcartel.com/product/marc...

Something I wrote when I heard we were losing the last Brazilian Grand Prix - Rio de Janeiro - in 2004. Seems relevant for more reasons than that 🇧🇷😎

Vortex generators are suddenly all the rage in #MotoGP, featuring on the latest KTM, Aprilia and Yamaha, so what do they do and how do they do it? Plus other developments spotted in the Buriram pitlane 😎✊ www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/mot...

New Oxley Bom MotoGP pod: Buriram deep dive. Why was Bezzecchi's 2026 race win slower than MM93's 2019 win? Do MotoGP's Misano kerbs need fixing if they're causing blowouts? Is there a Kalex CFMOTO MotoGP bike coming? And will '26 end in Qatar on 27 November? oxleybom.buzzsprout.com/2181509/epis...

At times like these it always helps to read some William Butler Yeats

New Oxley Bom #MotoGP pod - WOAH! Bezzecchi and Aprilia steamroller Buriram, while Acosta makes the difference to put KTM in the world championship lead for the first and NO Ducatis on the podium! SO MUCH to talk about! Peter and I dissect it all 😎😍 oxleybom.buzzsprout.com/2181509/epis...

Gave a copy to the man himself. Told him there's a Spanish edition on the way. He said, "It's OK, this will improve my English." Wearing my fave HST tee 😎😎 matoxley.bigcartel.com/product/marc...

Warning 🚨🚨 This is what 39 years of working in the #MotoGP paddock does to you 😅😫 2026 is the 78th year of the championship, which means I've been here for exactly half its existence 🤪🤓

Get ready for a bumpy ride.... 2026 will see the longest #MotoGP campaign in history; the death of one era; the genesis of another; and the most volatile rider market in world championship history. So it's lucky that @matoxley.bsky.social is once more your guide go.motorsportmagazine.com/4b...

New Oxley Bom #MotoGP pod: MotoGP goes city racing! Liberty divide fans into 2 types - purists & tourists - so which are you? Because Adelaide's for the tourists. Plus, Bez fastest in tests, MM93 crashes thrice. What does that mean for the Thai GP opener? oxleybom.buzzsprout.com/2181509/epis...

Final times from final tests. Bezzecchi & Ogura went top this arvo. MM93, dodgy tummy & third crash. My bet is 2026 will be 2025 redux: MM93 strongest, Bez & AM73 winners on their day, KTM & Honda chasing. Main difference will be Bagnaia faster with a friendlier engine, Yamaha nowhere, for now

Great to be back on Revzilla's Highside/Lowside podcast, this time to discuss Marc Márquez & my biography of the man. We go pretty deep into what I learned talking to Marc's rivals & engineers, & how my opinion of him changed as a result www.youtube.com/watch?v=gF2c...

End of day 1 of the final 2-day Buriram #MotoGP test. Ducati still in control. MM93 2nd after 2 minor falls today. Aprilia once again as fast as Ducati. Honda take another step forward. Yamaha still way off the pace

MotoGP in Adelaide city confirmed for 2027, conforming to Liberty’s concept of city festival races. The 2.6 mile circuit will be based on the layout used for F1 1985-1995. Obvs the circuit will have to meet modern safety standards, so it's more likely to be slow and a bit boring than super-dangerous

MotoGP at an F1 street circuit? Are they INSANE? Not exactly, they just want to make money. Make no mistake about it, MotoGP moving from Phillip Island to an Adelaide city park is the starting gun of the Liberty/MotoGP Sports Entertainment Group era www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/mot...

New Oxley Bom #MotoGP pod! A fascinating hour with Livio Suppo, one of the sharpest minds in bike racing & winner of 6 MotoGP titles with Stoner/MM93 & Ducati/Honda. How to strategise. How to choose riders. How to manage riders. How contract negotiations work oxleybom.buzzsprout.com/2181509/epis...

🚨🚨 Dorna is no more! The company that bought MotoGP in 1992 has been renamed #MotoGP Sport Entertainment. President is Liberty's Chase Carey, ex CEO of F1. Vice-president is Liberty's Marty Patterson. CEO remains Carmelo Ezpeleta. Inevitable shift from Spanish to US management

Beaut Sepang #MotoGP testing shot from Tech3 😍 In the hazy distance you can see the KLIA airport control tower. Most paddock people stay at airport hotels and never get any further away from the airport than the track. That's the reality of MotoGP travel 😎😎✊✊

Revolution is in the air! #MotoGP 2026 is going to echo the summer of 2001 when the manufacturers fought each other on two fronts, racing their last 500s while simultaneously developing their 2002 replacements, most famously Honda’s sublime RC211V www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/mot...

2026 will be the most expensive season in #MotoGP history as manufacturers battle for the title and develop a new-gen of revolutionary 850cc bikes. It'll be 2001 all over again, says @matoxley.bsky.social go.motorsportmagazine.com/4t...

Oxley Publishing Corporation marketing department here again! A couple of reviews of MARC MÁRQUEZ The Biography on Goodreads... BTW square book format works better for motorcycle photos, because pages are wider. Typos have been fixed in the second edition matoxley.bigcartel.com/product/marc...

New Oxley Bom #MotoGP podcast! What do the Sepang tests tell us about what's going to happen when 2026 kicks off in 3 weeks?! Looks like Ducati are 0.5s ahead of Aprilia, Honda & KTM. Then Yamaha... And will the GP24 engine help Bagnaia or MM93 more? oxleybom.buzzsprout.com/2181509/epis...

Philip Morris (Marlboro, Chesterfield etc) never left motorcycle racing - they still fund the X2 2-seater in MotoGP - and now they're the new title sponsors of BSB, with their ZYB nicotine pouches 🌬️🌬️🌬️ www.britishsuperbike.com

Lots of winter talk about Aprilia, Honda & KTM catching Ducati in 2026 but the Sepang tests suggest Ducati may be just as dominant, with all 5 riders in the top 6 & AM73, Bagnaia & MM93 riding lightning-fast simulations. All using 2024 engines no doubt www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/mot...

Boom! End of stage one of the #2026 MotoGP season, the last of the max aero & shapeshifter era. Bezzecchi slots in Aprilia's first 56 to split the Ducati hordes. Honda & KTM both 0.8s off AM73, who also topped last year's tests, with a 56.493. Yamaha back on track today but slow as hell

Rain stopped play early on day 2 at Sepang. Honda ahead, with Joan Mir into the 56s. Meanwhile disaster for Yamaha, who have withdrawn all their bikes while they investigate a tech problem, presumably engine or gearbox. Will they get it figured out for tomorrow's final day?

The new edition of MARC MÁRQUEZ THE BIOGRAPHY has landed, just in time for the 2026 #MotoGP build-up. Will this be the year that MM93 becomes the equal most successful MotoGP rider of all time, with eight MotoGP titles, same as Giacomo Agostini? 😎😎👑👑 my.bigcartel.com/products/113...
