The win was Laverty’s third in a row, including the final two races of the 2013 season when he raced for Aprilia.

The most beautiful race bike ever?

It was good to see my old HRC team mate Shinichi Itoh making his final Moto GP appearance last weekend at Motegi.  At 44 he was a bit off the pace compared to his younger team mates, but that didn't matter as it was a joy just to see him circulating on what I reckon is most stunning GP bike ever.

Unfortunately he lost the front in one session trashing a complete set of body work but was back in action on race day to grab a few world championship points.

The bike can allegedly be driven like any other motorcycle when you are not towing a car behind you.
