These are the machines that the 2022 model follows in the wheel tracks of!

THREAD 👇 🏍️ 2015 - @19Bautista, @MarcoMelandri33 & @stefanbradl

A tough return to #MotoGP saw Melandri depart midway through the campaign after switching from #WorldSBK! 😲

Bautista, and Bradl once he replaced Melandri, made solid progress with the RS-GP as the year unfolded!

We're entering the business end of the season! 🙌

With so much left to be decided, let's take a look at what's up for grabs, and the contenders in play! 👊

THREAD 👇 🏆 #Moto3 Riders Championship

When @37_pedroacosta won in Styria, @dennisfoggia71 languished 97 points off the pace! 😲

Now the pair face the potential prospect of an Algarve rematch next month with the title at stake! 🍿

1⃣ P Acosta – 218 Pts
2⃣ D Foggia – 188 Pts

Summer break has arrived! But before we log off, 2021 has been a season to remember so far 🙌

Storylines we'll recount for years to come! For one reason or another, these are the ones we wanted to point out 👀

2021 #MotoGP - A THREAD 👇 It all got underway back at the #QatarGP! 🇶🇦

With quite possibly the strongest grid we've ever seen, 2021 was bound to be a belter 😎

@jackmilleraus was also pretty keen to point out his pick for World Champion in the Thursday press conference 👀

Le Mans awaits and in terms of the season, it's sink or swim time! 👀

To whet your appetite for the upcoming #FrenchGP, here's a few things to look for in France this weekend 🇫🇷

- THREAD 👇 😎 @JoanMirOfficial could make Suzuki history this weekend!

If he finishes on the podium he'll be the first Suzuki rider to take 4 successive podium finishes since Kevin Schwantz in 1994! 🏆

Let's hope he has more luck than last year when he crashed on the warm-up lap! 🤞

In his 21st season in the premier class, @ValeYellow46 is set to continue his legacy next year! 🙌

So let's go back to the start to appreciate how far he's come 👇

#MotoGP @ValeYellow46 It all started out back in the 500s ⏪

His first premier class title in 2001 made him the last rider to win the Championship as a satellite rider up until this point... 👀
