MotoGP journo since 1988, Isle of Man TT winner, 2nd Le Mans 24 hours, 3rd Endurance World Championship. Visit https://matoxley.bigcartel.com to pre-order my Marc Márquez biography
To me it’s an insult to ask MotoGP’s gladiators and their engineers to go to work at a go-kart track. Balaton Park is not worthy of MotoGP bikes and riders, it's like moving the Isle of Man TT to the Tesco carpark in Douglas www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/mot...
Moto3 bikes go faster around most grand prix tracks than MotoGP bikes go around Balaton. This isn't the kind of circuit that's going to do anything good for the championship
Final read of MARC MÁRQUEZ The Biography before sending 16 of the 17 chapters to the printers 😎 With a sneak peek for you all😉 Writing chapter 17 now, which I'll finish when (if!) he wins the championship, then the printing presses whir into action ASAP matoxley.bigcartel.com/product/marc...
Aprilia!? They’ve never led two consecutive GPs like that! Acosta doing Acosta things on the KTM. Marini on the Honda? Awesome! MM93? Still in cruise mode and loving it
New Oxley Bom MotoGP pod! What do we make of the Balaton Mario Kart track? ✊😎🔥https://oxleybom.buzzsprout.com/2181509/episodes/17724576-balaton-2025-press-start-for-mario-motogp
Crashed MotoGP bikes are the best for tech info. Zarco's RC213V shows Honda using wafer-thin engine hangers, as pioneered by Ducati, for more lateral flex for better turning. And hangers bolted to main frame, facilitating 'flexperiments' 😅 @GarethHarford 📸👏
Acosta's super-fast Q2 crash didn't only total an RC16 it also nearly took out a Dorna cameraman 😱😱😱
Oxley Bom Red Bull Ring MotoGP pod! How did Aldeguer & Aprilia do that?! MM the master strategist as always. Bagnaia's annus horribilis & why he needs to chill out. Why Yamaha's disastrous weekend is irrelevant. And MotoGP's stability control explained oxleybom.buzzsprout.com/2181509/epis...
Thought I'd finished interviewing people for my MM book, but yesterday had 25 mins with his physio, who worked full-time on his arm/shoulder rehab 💪💪 Then just had 25 minutes with Casey Stoner 🔥🔥🔥 I love my job 😎😎 matoxley.bigcartel.com

So good to see Harald Bartol again. He’s been fighting back from lung cancer and a stroke - and what a fightback! Bartol was a GP podium finisher in the 70s, basically Kaaden’s successor - a renowned two-stroke tuner and KTM team boss when the factory contested 125/250 GPs 💪
Another day another podcast about my Marc Marquez biography. Thanks Bobb 😎😎 youtu.be/ScvMSp4t01c?...
