    Wonderful article Daniel, I am a big fan of MotoGP and had written some articles on it for B/R. However, the Motorcycle Racing section on B/R is so damn cluttered and it looks like a junkyard where everything lands up. This article comes under Motorcycle Racing and not Auto Racing so tagged it accordingly. Been asking for that section clean up for quite some time.
