HELLYEAHIGAMI!

Let's put a bow on 2025. Bez did his with style, sealing the greatest season yet for an Aprilia rider. Is he becoming THE threat for 2026? Don't rule it out. My final #MotoGP Review of 2025, the Grand Prix of Valencia. www.motorsport101.com/dres-race-re...

One last time for the road... DRR in a couple of hours time. Note: They'll also be a two-part season review next week as well, as per M101 tradition.

Marc Marquez would have finished second in the Championship on just his race only points total. Alex Marquez - 467 Marc Marquez (Races only) - 355 Marco Bezzecchi - 353 #MotoGP

So, Moto3 first time winner Adrian Fernandez. First time Moto2 winner Izan Guevara... Pedro Acosta, it's your moment. #MotoGP

It was @ciaragemmam.bsky.social who made the point - wIth Aigus also falling down the order later on, was it setup issues from Dynavolt? After the Indonesia DQ - That team may need some heads wobbling. #Moto2

Brazil has a World Champion at last! Congratulations Diogo Moreira! Sensational finish to close out the year. Reward? Home grand prix next year! #Moto2

If bike racing was more mainstream popular, Secret Base would be making a "Collapse" video on Manu Gonzalez's season. What on earth has this back half been. #Moto2

Damn, Sky Sports Halo didn't even make the weekend. In all seriousness - It's sad that you felt you had to syphon off Women's Sport to a separate page (I suspect the algorithms told them, heck, ESPN has their W subbrand, so they're not alone), but the execution was horrifically condescending.

To be fair, red meat and fish don't normally go well together.

Think that's one of @aleksmlynne.bsky.social's. 👀

Pecco Bagnaia is now 5th in the Championship. #MotoGP

See, due to the weird contexual nature of dropping three positions - I'm not sure a Long Lap Penalty is worse for ignoring it. No-one knows what a penalty is! #NOKWAPI #MotoGP

Well done to Joan Mir for a carbon copy of Estoril 2006.

Honda: "Tier C concessions? Fuck no!" #MotoGP

Okay, as promised, more live streams! I'll be on from 7pm Tonight to talk all things Brazil, might even talk the M101 Awards Ballot! (Harrison101)

Finally got around to clearing out all the old programs from the last gig and all the backup files I no longer needed. 230 gigs of audio. Phew. Gotta move on, gotta move on.

0.169 covering the Top 6 in Valencia #MotoGP Qualifying. Nice.

You ain't lived until you've come in from a lovely night out and come home to Smudge laying the most rancid SHIT of his life. Almost knocked me clean out.

Had to write some words about the #F1Academy and its new third-year clause, why its approach is now starting to come across as conflicting. Does it want a woman in #F1, or to be the separate platform series for marketing sake? www.motorsport101.com/does-the-f1-...

The 2025 Motorsport101 Awards Ballot is now LIVE! For the next month, you the M101 community can vote on the best, the worst, and everything inbetween in Motorsport across the last 12 months! Form is down below, you have until December 14th to put your votes in! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

This might be a full blown article between now and next weekend in Vegas, but seeing that F1 Academy announcement and just somewhat rolling the eyes. It's making the same "mistakes" the W-Series did, but way more intentional. It's giving big ol' cash grab.

Up the Irish! Let's go! #FootballTweet

Sky Sports Halo is about the dumbest launch of a major channel's social media that I've ever seen. Break it off from the main feed, add quotes about matcha and being "iconic" and ??? profit? Everything wrong with how Women's Sports are being covered.

NEW PODCAST: We tossed out the script in this one as me and Cam talked Marco Bezzecchi and the warning shot that is Aprilia in 2026, the greatest Sprint race of them all, and Miguel Oliveira's goodbye to #MotoGP! www.motorsport101.com/podcast/epis...

Zak Brown trying to recruit Valentino Rossi could have been glorious, or like when you try to force two sides of the same magnet together. No in-between.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

This may be a hot take: Ryan Hunter-Reay in a McLaren is a legit weapon for 500 next year. #IndyCar

Sucks when you go to a really nice Kick It Out media event and network a bit, only to come out and immediately get another job rejection email man. It’s hard to stay motivated but you just gotta keep pushing. At least that’s what I tell myself.

Trust my beloved Dokkan to make Gomah arguably the best unit in the history of the goddamn game, 2 months before the 11th Anniversary. Goddamn game...

Think I pissed off the McLaren fans on both sides. Fucking Twitter.

Audi claiming they'll be a title contender by 203- FIVE YEAR PLAN KLAXON 🚨 #F1

Damn, so turns out Mexico was only the second most disappointing climax of the night. *badumtiss*

Piastri admitting he was still affected by Monza when he got to Baku is a bit of a tell he’s never been keen on the setup there. To have that play in your mind (A swap I thought was ludicrous) to the point he made such a horlicks the following week is… ungood. #F1

Man freeing up £230m of cash for himself while still owning 28% of Mercedes and controlling the other third feels like the definition of “first world problems”. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formul...

Should be illegal to play dress up with a 6:45am alarm.

Saw a video for Star Ores Inc... gave it a bash for £12... Played for six hours in one evening. Man, that's some good shit.

NEW PODCAST: Lando Norris lands a near-fatal title blow, is it time to be more critical of Oscar Piastri, and of course, more on the internal politics of the prancing honse. Sao Paolo #F1 Review now up! www.motorsport101.com/podcast/epis...

Fun stat (Cheers F1StatsGuru) - 15 out of 21 races this season have been won from pole. Most in F1 history and we still have three to go. Saturday has mattered a LOT this year. #ScumAir

Didn't think that gambling post would be a hit skeet, but some other stuff: - Why so many? Machines. You're only allowed 4 per shop. So build more as a workaround - Absolutely #1 common use of drug dealers using machines to "clean" money - They'll lobby hard. Butter up MP's to talk changes down

Bookies manager of 6 years here. - They do not support mental health, they enable problem gamblers. “Responsible gambling” is a myth. - They moved gambling addiction to being a healthcare problem in 2022 - Penny machines? Not the same, not even close. - Completely agreed on Point 4.

One more John Elkann point I have to mention. On any level, it's hilarious when you're sued by your own mother. Shit's a real life episode of Succession.

Had some more thoughts on Elkann's comments on Ferrari, if you like. #F1

Was streaming the race on our Discord server on Sunday and said out loud: “How has he only won once this year?!” Of course, easy answer is “Because Marc”, but he’s played a huge role in 2025 and finding that form that got people so excited about him at VR46!

Emma, this is Italy, you don’t speak the name of the father in vain. 👀

John Elkann let the mask slip with Ferrari and I suspect the Hamilton deal with his comments to the press yesterday. Saying his drivers need to talk less screams classic: "No one is bigger than the brand" talk when the true problems lie internally. Again. Baffling from the President. #F1

Marco Bezzecchi finally wins again for the first time since May, with Alex Marquez and Pedro Acosta giving chase, and #MotoGP says goodbye to Miguel Oliveira, one of the sport's all-time unlucky racers. DRR, MotoGP Portugal edition. www.motorsport101.com/dres-race-re...

Self-care is getting a haircut before your Podcast taping tonight because when you're at home and applying for jobs and doping your hobbyist media stuff, you need to get out a bit. MotoGP Portimao thoughts incoming...

Late night crusty roll, a glass of Apple Juice, and another DRR to write. Let's talk some bikes.
