Remy Gardner has his first opportunity at claiming the 2021 Moto2 World Championship this weekend.

If Remy Gardner can outscore team-mate Raul Fernandez by more than eight points this weekend, then he will be crowned 2021 Moto2 World Champion.
That means if Gardner wins at Portimao - the circuit he took his first ever Moto2 win at last year, then Fernandez has to finish no lower than second in order to extend the title battle to Valencia.


Remy Gardner takes 23-point lead into Moto2 championship finale  :cup:

Let's hope that he has settled and learnt from all of his mistakes and stays upright now. It would be good to see him win and then move to the next level.  :cup:

Yeah that's true.

Mick Dohans son is into Go-Karts I think but haven't heard anything since he went back overseas for the racing.

Eastern Creek track day?

I used do a lot of track days, but that was 25 years ago. Had a chuckle once when I rode my CBR250RR from Cairns to Philip Island for a weekend HART event. I was the slowest bloke on the straight, but it was amusing to see the reaction from the hero's that trailered their bikes from Melbourne. They couldn't grasp the concept that I'd ridden 4000k's, so I could ride on a track. They just didn't get it.
Spada.

now for something special.. i wish it was mine, but I do know where there is a well raced one rotting in a shed :(

It’s not often that you see a mint 1982 Yamaha TZ500 racer up for auction. And it’s even more unusual when it’s never been ridden, completely original, and showing 0 miles on the clocks. In fact, the only signs that it’s 40 years old are two small cracks near the seat and on the rear fairing. Still on original tyres!

Though no estimate has been placed on it, the model comes just a month after Collecting Cars broke the record for setting a new world record for a Japanese bike at auction - a Honda RC213V-S still in its original flight box - to the tune of £182,500
