Beating your teammate is often a challenge to be taken seriously, especially if your teammate is Maverick Vinales. Aleix Espargaro has his hands full every weekend.

Alvaro Bautista’s routine for cruising down pit lane involves a proper front stretch.

In the Thursday Press Conference Marc Marquez had no expectation of leaving Motegi as World Champion. But he was clearly focussed on getting the points needed to claim the title in Australia.

You never know what you’re going to see on the service road.

Scott Redding is trying hard to beat his teammate for next season’s newer Ducati.

But Danilo Petrucci is putting up a fight.

With Pedrosa out for a while, Andrea Dovizioso may be able to claim fifth place in the 2016 championship.
