Jorge Lorenzo has already put his Qatar MotoGP brake failure behind him, as he seeks to make up for an 'unlucky' opening race in Argentina this weekend.

Valentino Rossi says he wants to understand how the new Michelin tyres react to the resurfaced circuit at Autodromo Termas de Rio Hondo before predicting Yamaha’s potential at the Argentina MotoGP.

Jorge Lorenzo will attempt to draw a line under a miserable Qatar weekend and make a fresh start to the 2018 MotoGP season in Argentina this weekend.

After brushing off a last-turn attack by Marc Marquez in Qatar, Andrea Dovizioso holds the early MotoGP World Championship lead heading into this weekend's Argentina round.

For the past two seasons, Argentina's Termas de Rio Hondo circuit has been the scene of the Aspar (now Angel Nieto) team's best MotoGP results of the year.

After claiming a historic sixth Bennetts British Superbike title, Shane Byrne is targeting new records in 2018 with Be Wiser Ducati by becoming the first rider to win three straight championships since Niall Mackenzie in the late 1990s.

Davide Tardozzi, Ducati’s MotoGP team manager, has re-stated the factory’s intention to renew contracts with current riders Andrea Dovizioso and Jorge Lorenzo for 2019 and 2020.

This winter saw Honda join Ducati in fitting a carbon fibre swingarm to its MotoGP prototype, in place of the usual aluminium.

Jack Miller set a faster Qatar race lap than Pramac Ducati team-mate Danilo Petrucci, on the latest GP18, but the Australian finished five places lower, in tenth, after over-stressing his front tyre.

Tom Sykes is confident his Kawasaki Racing Team has made sufficient power delivery alterations to increase torque which will fight against its maximum RPM limit introduced by the new World Superbike technical regulations.

Jorge Lorenzo believes an issue with his front brake was at fault for a terrifying fall that led to him leaving the first MotoGP round of 2018 in Qatar with no points on the board.

Danilo Petrucci began his quest for a 2019 factory Ducati place by fighting in the lead group for much of Sunday's Qatar MotoGP season opener.
