A Requiem for Better Days

We could write a long list of what those involved in the Valentino Rossi-Ducati partnership have lost. Money, reputation, time, all have been lost in large quantities and on behalf of some of the most important people in motorbike racing. Smaller losses of various kinds have been incurred by many more people whose livelihoods are […]

Get a Custom Signature from Nicky Hayden on your next PHOTO.GP print!

A Unique Opportunity from PHOTO.GP PHOTO.GP has come to an agreement with factory Ducati rider Nicky Hayden to do a handful of custom signed images, each one personalized for our most dedicated fans. At Laguna Seca, Scott will meet with Nicky to present a small number of custom prints made from images in the PHOTO.GP […]

How Soon We Forget

All last season, and for the first three races of 2012, when I’ve walked past the Ducati garage and looked in at Rossi’s side, watching for an interesting moment to photograph, I’ve seen pretty much the same thing, immensely talented people looking immensely frustrated. I stand there for a moment and think, I’ve already taken […]

CRT Heroes

This, race fans, is Danilo Petrucci, one of the brave souls trying his luck on the future of MotoGP hardware, in his case the doggedly underpowered Came IodaRacing Project machine. Not on a (relatively) zippy Aprilia ART, or a Honda-powered FTR, Petrucci qualifies on the same grid as Casey Stoner and Jorge Lorenzo, and brings […]

Voices of MotoGP

When I entered the media center at Losail a few weeks ago, I happened to be thinking about how many people contribute to our enjoyment of MotoGP. From the journalists who write the background stories and race reports, to photographers who show us things we can’t see on video, to the large number of people […]

Che Spettacolo, Redux?

Ladies and gentlemen, this may be Italy’s best chance to replace Valentino Rossi. Romano Fenati was at the heart of an amazing story in Qatar. The Italian Motorcycle Federation brought a last-minute effort to the Moto3 race with no sponsorship and a rider unknown to practically all but themselves. (Once the buzz started, I asked […]

Dubai Dubai Du

It’s 11:30PM here in Dubai and the family is asleep after a long day of jet-lagged tourism. Since in a few days I’ll be on the strangest MotoGP schedule of the year (arriving at the Losail circuit in the late afternoon and working until around 3AM) I’m trying to stay up to make those first […]

The Long Goodbye

The best of Raymond Chandler’s Philip Marlowe novels is, in my opinion, his last, the title of which I’ve borrowed for this piece. In The Long Goodbye, Chandler shows us more of what makes Philip Marlowe tick than in any of the previous novels, and along the way, as observed by my old professor Thomas […]

Rossi Birthday Desktop Wallpaper

Today is Valentino Rossi’s birthday, so I thought I’d offer up another hi-res desktop wallpaper for you to enjoy.

MotoGP Stories at the S.F. D-Store

The San Francisco Dainese D-Store welcomed me and Jensen Beeler last week to share some of our thoughts and experiences in MotoGP. For my part of the presentation, I showed some photographs on a projector and told the stories that went along with them.
