Courtesy Ducati The 2023 MotoGP championship series came to an end at Valencia this weekend where Ducati’s Pecco Bagnaia was crowned champion. This gives Bagnaia back-to-back titles in the Premier class.
On paper, the 2023 Aprilia Tuono 660 appears to be a great motorcycle that would appeal to novice and experienced riders, alike. For a mid–displacement machine, it makes very good power.
This weekend saw the MotoGP series visit the Qatar circuit at Lusail. Jorge Martin (Ducati) won Saturday’s Sprint race ahead of Fabio Di Giannantonio (Ducati) in second and Luca Marini (Ducati) in third.
The Malaysian round this weekend saw Alex Marquez (Ducati) in fine form as he won the Sprint on Saturday and finished second during the full distance race on Sunday. His attempt at sweeping the two races was stopped by a resurgent Enea Bastianini (Ducati) who took the Sunday win.
The red hot Adventure Touring segment will see a new and interesting entrant from Moto Guzzi for 2024. The new Stelvio gets the modernized 1,042 cc v-twin that debuted in 2022 with the V100 Mandello.
