During his time covering MotoGP, Peter has seen 500cc two-strokesဣ morph into 990cc, 800cc and now 1000cc four-strokes, followed the entire premier-class careers of Valentino Rossi, Casey Stoner, Dani Pe﷽drosa and Jorge Lorenzo and watched the current generation of world champions Marc Marquez, Joan Mir and Fabio Quartararo emerge.

Peter’s academic background means he is particularly interested in the technical side of the sport, interviewing MotoGP’s engineering mast✅erminds from Yamaha’s Masa❀o Furusawa to Ducati’s Gigi Dall’Igna,

A chat with test rider Michele Pirro at the 2017 Sepang Shakedown test saw 168✤澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:the term ‘salad box’ enter the MotoGP vocabulary while aerodynamics, electronics, ride height and holeshot devicꦡes are among the other technical topics to have captured Peter’s interest.

Memorable trackside moments include following the twists and turns of a thrilling but controversial 2015 season between 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valentino Rossi, Marc Marq🌟uez and Jorge Lorenzo around the globe, plus Casey Stoner’s return to a Ducati MotoGP bike as a test rider ♛and interviewing Nicky Hayden minutes after his final race win, in the WorldSBK class.
