It’s been a whirlwind couple of weeks. We got to welcome Leo Laverty into this world,
@JodiLeeLaverty
and I have so much love for our gorgeous little boy 🥰
@dave00_d
Oh, people like you need kick in the bollocks, like really hard. You are entitled to your opinion, but please do not pass your opinion on to any up and coming young riders as they might actually give a fuck what you think! You are what I hate about social media, a bully!

“You best look out Micky boy as I am coming through!!”
The first words Paul Bird ever spoke to me; slightly intimidated, as a 16 year old boy I quivered a lame response. Paul was ‘The Man’ at the time during the Supermoto heyday of the late 90s; (1/5)…
Absolutely devastated to read this, Dan, my heart goes out to your family and friends, a nicer guy you won’t meet 💔 Dan became both my team-mate and friend this year, so so sad 😭
3 laps of Portimao put a smile on my face this afternoon for the

First weekend done with the
@btsportmotogp
team, what a fantastic crew to work with, everyone went out of there way to make my transition into broadcasting easier; much appreciated! Seems like my flat peak hats went down a treat too 😜
4th in the end, we didn’t have the pace to run with the factory teams this weekend so we just kept it consistent, no mistakes and brought home a solid finish placing the team 3rd in the Championship. Great job from the whole Wepol racing crew 👏 📸:
@highsidePR
I can’t quite believe the devastating news about William Dunlop who lost his life at the Skerries. He was one of the nicest, most genuine people you could ever meet. My thoughts are with the Dunlop family.
To break your pelvis with only a few laps remaining just about sums up the last few years of Eugene’s career. Those latter years marred by injury and unfulfilled potential given the highs of the early days!
A race winner from the start, a personality that grew bigger and a star throughout the years 💫
Thank you
@eugenelaverty
for those special memories, heroic victories and much, much more in both

and

Here's to the next chapter 🏁
Le Mans 24hr this week. I’m reserve rider with YART, I get to practice and qualify on this beauty, likelihood is I won’t race but looking forward to having a ride on the official bike. First time back on Bridgestone tyres since 2015
I’m delighted to be joining the
@btsportmotogp
broadcast team, really looking forward to it! We have some big shoes to fill but I’ve got some great colleagues to ease the transition

did an amazing job to finish up top rookie in 10th place and
@joshwhatley70
ended the test in 21st. We're looking forward to our next outing in Portimão 😁💪🏼
Only 5 laps in practice to learn the bike and tyres today but I got to a 39.3 - Qualifying was a half wet/dry track for my session, ended up P6, again trying to learn the rain tyres. The YART bike and Bridgestones are very impressive 👌🏻
I’m looking for a new truck driver for our GP team. The role is to drive the race truck then assist in hospitality and other jobs during the European GP’s
If interested please drop me an email to truck

The truck is a new Scania S560 and a beauty to drive 😁
I'm very proud to grow our JuniorGP team for 2024. Together with Dorna Sports we are building the foundations for our next crop of World Championship riders
Pole position for YART👌🏻 I’m finished for the weekend but I really enjoyed my time on the YART bike. Satisfied with a 37.8 in only 20 dry laps to learn both bike and tyres. P2 in my session,
@nicoterol
pipped me by 0.003sec 👍
Started from the bottom, now we here! So happy to get on the Le Mans podium today, it was 24hrs of graft and I couldn’t have asked for a better crew to do it with. Thanks

MotoGP is fantastic this year. 5 races in 6 weeks saw 3 first time winners and a further 2 taking their first steps onto the podium. Entering the summer break we have 7 riders within 25 points. 9 races in 11 weeks will see either a brand new champion crowned or Vales 8th title...
Can you believe it?
Miguel Oliveira. MotoGP race winner on a Tech3 KTM.
What a final lap 🤯
Only MotoGP. Only this sport. The best sport in the world ❤️
#AustrianGP
The outpouring of grief across social media shows the regard in which Keith was held. A friend, a team mate, a Father and a gentleman who could ride a motorcycle faster than even his titles attest. He will be sorely missed! My thoughts are with Keith’s family and close friends
Keith Farmer, one of Northern Ireland's most successful motorcyclists, has died aged 35.
The Clogher native, a four-time British champion, retired from racing in September 2021.
We are delighted to welcome our new team manager
@taylormac77
to the team. Taylor brings a wealth of experience to the squad, both from a racers perspective and navigating the modern digital world. He will be a great asset as we embark on this journey together 👊🏻
It’s been a pleasure to work alongside and learn from one of the best this business has ever seen. Keith opened the door for me to join the BT Sport team and it won’t be the same without him. Enjoy the downtime, you deserve it; catch you soon
What a joke. So much for rider safety! There were 2 riders who thought it was safe to start. The majority of the 12 riders who have started this race didn’t want to. They all agreed on doing 2 long races in cooler conditions tomorrow, when the track is safer.
I went 1.3sec quicker this afternoon following some changes. Missed Q3 by 0.3, hopefully I can take another step forward in warm up with my feeling & the bike set up🤞
It’s been a pleasure to work in your corner! A fierce competitor with an enviable work ethic, the right mix of brains and brawn, grit and determination; whilst the most prominent trait, an absolute gentleman 👏
I’ve decided to call time on my WorldSBK career. It’s been an epic adventure, far beyond my wildest dreams but I’m ready to move on. Thank you for your support! Statement attached.
The new
@TycoBMW
S1000RR is impressive, it’s taken a bit of getting my head around the differences from the previous model but we acquitted ourselves quite well in P12 for day 1.
As Thursday evenings go, that was a good one. I got to test all the BSB bikes this evening around Cadwell park for a feature I’m writing for
@MCNSport
Thank you to all the teams that obliged
"Thank you, you saved my life" ❤️
We took Tito Rabat to the medic and marshal who responded quickest to his horrific leg-break at Silverstone last year...
The Orange Army do so much for motorsport, we all owe them our thanks 👏

especially Philip & Hector. 20 years since their last Senior TT victory. I know how much that one means to Hector; chapeau…

provides the reasoning behind his difficult race, to the majority of race fans and supporters. Conversely it also provides the minority who like to hate/slate his excuse for his race performance. Social media can be cruel, never pander to that minority Danny!

The wait is over for Sam Lowes... A first win since 2016! 🍾

Thanks to
@MCNnews
for the cover shot. It’s been a great week of positive feedback since the announcement of our new project in the Moto3 World Championship. I’m excited to see where we can take this, I believe it will be a fantastic platform for the UK’s talent.
A very big step for the next generation of the UK & Ireland’s

riders. Having Dorna’s support to develop our riders in the
@JuniorGP
series will be invaluable. We have 2 great talents in both Casey & Johnny plus a top quality team and bikes to deliver them success
We are very proud as a team to gain ‘Road to MotoGP’ status after our first season & to continue with the UK & Ireland’s brightest talents in both Johnny Garness & Casey O’Gorman for the 2023 European Talent Cup;both riders will contend for title honours!
We’re deeply saddened to report the loss of Jason Dupasquier
On behalf of the entire MotoGP family, we send our love to his team, his family and loved ones
You will be sorely missed, Jason. Ride in peace
I should have been arriving in Le Mans today to ride this weapon but recent changes to French Covid rules mandate a 7 day isolation for UK arrivals. So I have to miss the race. Thanks for all the birthday wishes 😊
It’s ma birthday, I don’t really celebrate them (or Christmas, Easter, Valentines, anniversaries e.t.c 🤣) but that doesn’t stop my wife...Thanks for all the well wishes
Estoril 12 hours - Result P11, electronic issues put us back to 30th after the first 2 hours. We had decent pace and kept plugging away, almost making it back into the top 10. Enjoyable week with the

True, it doesn’t bother me, but it probably would have 10 years ago. I see twats like that making flippant remarks to riders quite often, usually I don’t bite but last night I had a few beers onboard 😂

Moto2 prototype a track workout on our newly resurfaced track. Full film of his experience coming soon on
@btsportmotogp
Because we weren't going to send Michael Laverty to Portimao and not get him to do few laps of the circuit 😍
Hopefully, this track stays on the calendar 🤞
Best over the Mountain this weekend, top 10 in the Superstock race in only his first season.
