A week ago at this time, Team MotoWorld was at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah for the World Superbike race. Scrambling for interviews, uploading photos from the practice session, getting ready for Superpole and in general just working like mad people…I love my job. As a former racer and now journalist, I enjoy every…
I have spent the past years going to races, interviewing racers and loving every minute of it…even when my recorder fails me, like it did today.

When we came into the track this morning the first thing we heard was not the sound of motorcycle engines at high speed, nope, Ozzie Osborne ‘The Prince of Darkness’ blaring through the loudspeakers here in religous…
Yesterday was quite a day for us, some disappointments, some high spots. We finished our day with a good interview with current championship leader Ducat’s Noriyuki Haga and then a nice dinner with a friend.
