Once More Into The Night

T. S. Eliot wrote that April is the cruelest month, but for grand prix fans, it’s November when the season ends. We’re eight weeks away from the final pre-season test at Losail International Circuit just outside Doha, Qatar, and a week after that test, the first race of the 2011 season will take place under […]

Rossi United

I’m taking a break from organizing my relocated office, which has moved from the front of the house to the rear, and wanted to tell you about a very nice experience made possible by… By what, exactly? Let’s see if we can figure it out. At the British Grand Prix, I noticed while shooting on […]

In fact this is often pretty easy, because behind the scenes glimpses into the riders’ personalities when they are temporarily out of the […]

Pedrosa Wallpaper

If I’d known how popular these hi-res desktops would be I’d have started offering them to you all sooner. Thanks to all who’ve emailed to ask for a copy of the Lorenzo and Trophy images–that small bit of give before the take has cut down as intended on the photos showing up on websites rather […]

MotoGP Trophy Desktop

MotoGP fans will likely recognize this item from the intro of the official race feed. Each year, the new MotoGP champ’s section is installed on the trophy, which is displayed at the non-fly-away rounds in Dorna’s mobile suite of offices. I saw it for the first time at Silverstone and grabbed a few photos of […]

You’ve asked for desktops, and here’s the first one: Valentine Rossi coming through the Corkscrew at Laguna Seca with the special Faces Fiat Yamaha livery. This is a hi-res 1920×1200 jpg for large monitor and smaller. Download it here!

Day of Stars 2010

For those of you coming to the USGP at Laguna Seca this weekend, please check out the Riders for Health Day of Stars auction on Thursday afternoon. I just received the first of several 16×24″ metallic print gallery wraps I’m contributing to the auction. Ben Spies and Colin Edwards still to come!

What’s Safer Than an Airbag?

When I was flying from Frankfurt to Doha, Qatar, I met two Italian members of the Clinica Mobile, the M*A*S*H unit of MotoGP. These guys travel to each race to tend to any injuries the riders suffer during the weekend. We talked about many things, one of which was their experience treating rookie MotoGP rider […]
