This piece hits home. The track, views & racing at PI were unequalled, but it was like going to a race venue from the 70s. At the wrong time of year!! Respect to the people that made it work but Adelaide will open @MotoGP to a new audience. And us old guys will get used to it 🙏🏼
Wrote a thing on Sunday and ultimately decided not to post it because it's pretty unpolished, but reading this from the Liberty CEO, I feel like it's even more relevant to me than it was on the day MotoGP left Phillip Island once and for all. "When just racing was enough" 📜

OTD 50 years ago - Barry Briggs bowed out of British Speedway at the Boulevard. 💙 A career in which he rose to the top, become one of the most feared and respected men in the sport, and thrilled millions of people throughout the world. #HullNeedsSpeedway

Heading down to Philip Island 🇦🇺 and the solus of a long flight provides a good time to reflect upon a great @OfficialBSB season. Congratulations to the champions, and thank you to everyone who has been a part of it. Thanks to our incredible @racesafe marshals, the BSB medical team and all my organisation colleagues.

Mlav works so hard he’s shrunk 😳 Most of us in the race world still can’t work out how he does it?! He’s the ALIEN of race team management 👽

Mike Trimby will be turning over 🙏🏼 IRTA (International Road Racing Teams Association) was formed off the back of Trimby’s work to hold a flame to promotors who were unresponsive to the reasonable concerns of riders and teams. What’s coming next? Liberty to take over IRTA?

🦊 In February, we didn’t exist. Fast forward to October, and we have a loyal fanbase, hosted one of the biggest meetings in the modern era of British Speedway, and boast fantastic stadium facilities. Not bad for our first season, eh? 👏 🔵🟠 #FoxesUnite | #BritishSpeedway

What the hell @virginmedia Some bxxxxxxt about migrating my email, but all you’ve done is cut me off and when I call customer services you want to give me a ‘ticket’ number and say you’ll be back in 3 to 5 working days. Piss poor service 😡

Over the past five years, 62,199 people have been arrested for speech-related offences. Of those, 18,520 were charged and 12,292 convicted. That means more than 12,000 people received criminal records for speech offences in just five years. This is not normal in a free society. Britain is rapidly becoming the North Korea of the North Sea. If you’re worried about the police knocking on your door over something you’ve said in person or online, join the Free Speech Union. We’re your best defence.

BSB NEXT GENERATION: NEW TECHNICAL PLATFORM SET TO TRANSFORM THE BRITISH SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP The British Superbike Championship will introduce a new “Next Generation” technical platform for 2027, designed to deliver closer competition, greater manufacturer diversity and improved cost control while maintaining BSB’s position as the world’s leading domestic motorcycle racing championship. The new regulations represent the most significant evolution of the BSB class in more than a decade and respond to the changing Superbike retail marketplace. With fewer new 1000cc sports bikes being produced and increasing performance differences between different generations and architectures of machinery, BSB will adopt a sophisticated Balance of Performance (BoP) approach, building on the principles already utilised in the Supersport Next Generation and Sportbike categories. 📰 bit.ly/BSB-NEXT-GENERATION
