The Spanish Armada Marc Marquez - Four races. Four Wins. Marc Marquez leads the Honda quest to recapture top honors in the premiere class. He leads the Spanish charge to the dominant nation in Moto GP racing. More to the point, however, he leads the race championship in the points standing. Sitting pretty on 213 points Marquez leads his closest rival (and Honda teammate) Dani Pedrosa by 26 points. While just a single point over the "magical" number of 25, that many points i

The Glorious Bastards Marc Marquez - It's not so much that Marc Marquez swept the US rounds for a hat trick of wins. It's more that he completely wrecked the country, patted its rear and strolled out of the room whistling. He may have thrown a saucy wink over his shoulder on exit. To review: at Austin's Circuit of the America's, a track that no team had visited previously, Marquez surprised the field by putting down a stunning lap for pole position. He then shocked the worl

The Return of the Kings Much has changed in the few short weeks that the MotoGP riders have sequestered themselves from the hectic pace of the grid. Contracts have been resolved, rumors have been proven to be so much more, and new scuttlebutt has emerged. The silly season, often such an integral part of the color backdrop during the second half of the season is already over for the most part. While this in some way removes from the drama that fans can use to fill the spaces

Who Stole the Cookie From the Cookie Jar? Suspect: Smith, Bradley Victim: Dovizioso, Andrea Charge: During round 6 of the 2013 MotoGP season, the victim was seen circulating in a comfortable 6th place in the closing stages of the race. Having started 9th on the grid, Dovizioso had been somewhat struggling all weekend, further evidence coming from his inability to keep pace with American teammate Nicky Hayden. Blame would be placed on "pumping" from the bike which grew inc

Only Human After All Jorge Lorenzo is, on paper, the best rider on the Moto GP grid today as the only rider to have won championships in both the outgoing 800cc and current 1000cc classes. He is the defending MotoGP world champion, second in the points, and one of the original four to have earned the nickname "alien". His riding style is crisp, almost unnervingly efficient, and in every interview he showcases a calm professionalism. Yet all of these were forgotten as he cro

In The Hot Seat Maria Herrera - Don't know the name? You might just have to learn it. It should come as no surprise to read that motorcycle racing is a male dominated sport. Both inside and out of the garage, compelling female figures are hard to find unless you peek under an umbrella or pay close attention to the members of the pit crew. However there are signs that this trend is changing. At the grass roots level, female racers are becoming more common in local series' th
