We close out this calendar year, 2015, and look forward to calendar year 2016, and the new MotoGP racing season. Here are reflections on 2015, from Suzuki factory rider, Maverick Vinales. Vinales was 2015 MotoGP Rookie of The Year, and he reflects on who his teachers were, during the season, in terms of his fellow competitors.

This blog is dedicated to reporting on motorcycle racing, a recently acquired interest to someone who has followed races on four wheels for nearly two decades. Just a way to add some variety to my motorsports fascination. Covered here will be numerous races from the American and European championships for motorcycles. The American Motorcyclist Association, and the FIM (Federation International de Motorcyclisme).
