Round 6 - French Grand Prix 2025
If you are a professional motorcycle rider, a typical race is hurling yourself into corners over 100 MPH in less-than-ideal conditions. Those conditions include, inclement weather, mechanical issues and fellow competitors aiming to box you out so they can get ahead. And that is on a good day.
But on the great days where things can still go wrong, you are doubly excited when they work out. Sunday was indeed a great day for Johann Zarco.

Lights On for Alex Marquez

Round 4 - Qatar Grand Prix 2025
Jorge Martin’s return to racing win Qatar was short-lived. The reigning world champion has been sidelined with pre-season injuries and though fans applauded his reentry in Saturday night’s sprint race, his showing at Sunday’s Grand Prix quickly turned to collective moans as he collided with another rider. With fractured ribs and an extended hospital stay in Doha, the only road Martin is on is the one to recovery. So what does recovery mode look like when you’re adding injuries to existing injuries? How do you heal from this setback? It is unlikely that we will see him ride an Aprilia until he heals completely. Fans want him back and no rider wants their last race to be their last race, especially when it ends in a crash. Martin is lucky in many ways, mainly because he gets to wake up and decide how he wants to move forward. With recovery his default setting of late, that may be his best weapon, yet.
