MOTOCOURSE celebrates its 44th year of publication - and yet again what a year it was for motorcycle racing! In a thrilling
MotoGP season,
Marc Marquez and Honda were again the dominant force, with customary brilliance, he romped to his sixth MotoGP title. Other riders occasionally denied the Spanish tyro. The
Ducati pair of Andrea Dovizioso, and Danilo Petrucci, along with Y
amaha's Maverick Vinales and
Suzuki's Alex Rins all took to the top step of the podium in a close fought battle for supremecy throughout the whole of the MotoGP field.
Once again,
Valentino Rossi defied the years to remain at the sharp end of the field, whilst the future for Yamaha may have emerged in the shape of the 20-year old
French sensation Fabio Quartararo, eagerly seeking his first MotoGP win.
Editor Michael Scott provides a
no-holds-barred assessment of all the aspects of a compelling season's action.
MOTOCOURSE alone has full coverage of the support classes, Moto2 and Moto3, where
Alex Marquez was looking to clinch the Moto2 crown at his fifth attempt, whilst
Lorenzo Dalla Porta, Aaron Canet and Tony Arbolino hotly disputed the Moto3 title.
In
World Superbikes,
Kawasaki's dominance was challenged by
Ducati's Alvaro Bautista, with
Jonathan Rea eventually managing to retain his championship title for the fifth successive year, ahead of the chasing pack including
British favourites Leon Haslam, Chaz Davies and Yamaha's Michael van der Mark.
