Lorenzo Desktop

It’s shaping up to be a season that will be remembered as one dominated by a single rider: no one seems to have much of anything for Jorge Lorenzo in 2010, in terms of a sustained challenge for this year’s title. Fastest at FP1 at Brno today, and looking good to continue to build his […]

Find Your Face

Ok, Twitter and Facebook friends, I took a few moments Saturday to photograph the Fiat Yamaha bikes before Jorge and Vale went out for FP2. Some of you sent me your own photos to help me find you but I just didn’t have time to search while the teams were getting the bikes ready to […]

Day of Stars 2010

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.

Let’s Eat Fewer Rocks

One of the noticeable things about the 2010 MotoGP bikes in Qatar was how the Ducatis all had a kind of mesh cover over the exhaust pipe. I asked around a bit and never found an explanation. Should’ve asked someone at Ducati, obviously, because this unique feature was just explained over at MotoMatters.com in an […]

Fire In The Desert

The story of Rossi’s glowing brake discs For a year I had a unique photograph. As far as I could tell, after searching everywhere I could think of, I was the only one who’d gone to the entrance of Turn 1 at Losail in 2009 and captured the glowing brakes as the MotoGP riders as […]
