Honestly, I figured I would be writing a blog about the victorious return of MotoGP legend Marc Marquez earlier than yesterday’s 8th 2021 round, the Liqui Moly Grand Prix Deutschland. The 28-year-old, eight-time World Champ Marquez has been mostly out of action since the completion of his dominant 2019 season for the factory Repsol-Honda squad.

Colin Fraser — Tue, 08 Jun 2021 02:10:42 +0000

As the Canadian Superbike Championships awaits the chance to start its 2021 season – following several pandemic-related delays – it seems like a good time to have a look back through CSBK National Road race history. Our focus is ten years ago, in 2011, when the series was still struggling to deal with the fallout from the financial melt down that started late in 2008. There were far fewer opportunities for Canadian racers ten years ago, certainly when compared to the boom years of the decade previous.

Colin Fraser: Alma Street Action… Quebec’s road racing showcase

Colin Fraser — Mon, 26 Apr 2021 19:20:24 +0000

As discussed a few weeks ago, there was a time when racing on closed, public roads was a thing for Canadian motorcyclists, primarily in Quebec. Given our 1950s and ‘60s history of racing on old, frequently abandoned airfields across the country, this should come as no surprise. In the early 1970s, motorcycle roadracing was undergoing a growth period, largely due to the development of reasonably priced, sporty Japanese machinery.
