Following its official debut at EICMA, MV Agusta have provided further details on their five-cylinder engine concept, with the modular platform undergoing further development at the MV R&D facility within their headquarters at Schiranna, Italy.

The FIM and Dorna Sports have announced changes to the Road to MotoGP program that will unify existing junior categories under a single identity. The familiar Red Bull Rookies Cup will continue mostly unchanged, but there’s a new starting point for MotoGP glory, ‘Moto Mini,’ with a new ‘Moto4’ category introduced, too. According to Dorna, each step in the new program works as part of a whole, creating a clear framework for riders and providing scope for the program to further expand around the world, specifically in markets where MotoGP doesn’t have a large presence. In relation to the last point, additional initiatives will be introduced to encourage teams in these junior categories to select riders from countries that currently don’t supply riding talent. “We’re very proud of the Road…

To celebrate Marc Marquez’s 2025 MotoGP World Championship, Ducati are creating a limited-edition replica. With exclusive componentry and a livery inspired by Marquez’s Desmosedici GP25, the ‘Panigale V4 Marquez 2025 World Champion Replica’ will be limited to 293 units worldwide. Marquez not only won the Riders’ Championship in his first year with the factory Ducati team, his outstanding success – 11 GP wins and 14 Sprint wins – was also key to the Ducati Lenovo Team winning the Teams’ Championship and Ducati winning the Constructors’ Championship in 2025. The Panigale V4 Marquez 2025 World Champion Replica that commemorates this achievement was officially unveiled at a ceremony for Ducati staff in Borgo Panigale this past December. Attended by Marquez, his team mate Francesco Bagnaia and other Ducati riders in MotoGP, World…

Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) has secured the services of Jonathan Rea for the 2026 Motul FIM Superbike World Championship (WorldSBK). The most successful rider in WorldSBK history, Rea will come out of retirement to serve as test rider for HRC’s 2026 campaign, supporting the new rider lineup of Somkiat Chantra and Jake Dixon. Rea’s new role reunites him with Honda after eleven years with Kawasaki and Yamaha teams in WorldSBK. After spending the 2008 season in the World Supersport Championship with Honda, Rea started his WorldSBK career in 2009, also with Honda. Before his record-breaking stint with Kawasaki, the Ulsterman spent six seasons on the CBR1000RR for the Ten Kate-run Honda team, achieving 15 race wins and 27 other podiums, 10 fastest race laps and 4 poles. His best championship…

Marc Marquez’s achievement in winning the 2025 FIM MotoGP World Championship can’t be overstated. Yes, he was on the best bike on the grid, and with arguably the best team, but as shown in 2024, these elements don’t automatically guarantee success. Prevailing against a defending champion, a team mate on a mission and many other fast riders, Marquez won his seventh MotoGP crown - six years after his previous title. As has been well reported, Marquez achieved six MotoGP World Championships in his first seven seasons in the premier class – 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. All of those were on an RC213V with the Repsol Honda factory team. Everyone would have expected Marquez to finish on top again in 2020, but a crash in the opening round…

Australia’s Tayla Relph has secured her place on the 2026 grid of the FIM Women’s Circuit Racing World Championship (WorldWCR). Relph’s re-selection for a third full season in the premier all-female motorcycle circuit racing series follows her finishing equal 9th in the 2025 championship and achieving some major breakthroughs throughout the year. The past season saw Victorian-based Relph achieve her career best Superpole result of P5, a 2025 best race finish of P6, along with her closest ever margins to the leaders at the final round at Jerez. In that finale, Relph was in a ten-rider battle to the finish, crossing the line only one second away from a podium position. “I am incredibly proud to represent Australia again in the 2026 WorldWCR Championship,” Relph said following her re-selection. “Last…
