🏆 Michael Dunlop's Isle of Man TT legacy keeps growing 🇮🇲🔥

Riding the Scars Racing Ducati Panigale V2, Dunlop claimed victory in Supersport Race 1 to secure his 9th consecutive Supersport TT win and extend his all-time records to 34 TT victories and 53 podium finishes 🤯👏

Dean Harrison set the early pace, but Dunlop moved to the front by the end of the opening lap and steadily pulled away, eventually winning by 24.470 seconds.

Another chapter added to one of the most remarkable careers in road racing history 🏍️💨

🕊️ Ten years ago today, MotoGP lost Luis Salom.

The Spanish rider passed away on 3 June 2016 following an accident during Moto2 practice at the Catalan Grand Prix in Barcelona.

🤔 Less horsepower, a less competitive bike, Pedro Acosta still fighting at the front weekend after weekend.

Even at Mugello, where he was repeatedly losing out on the long straight, he never gave up and remained firmly in the battle for the top positions without the advantage of a Ducati or an Aprilia 🏁💪

⁉️ It raises an interesting question: if this talent had the best bike on the grid, would anyone be able to stop him?

From the outside, he often looks a step ahead of the rest. The possibility of seeing him on the strongest machine is both fascinating... and perhaps a little frightening for his rivals 👀🔥

Jorge Martin has spoken for the first time about the end of his long-standing partnership with Red Bull following Aprilia's new title sponsorship agreement with Monster Energy.

🗣️ "I've been with Red Bull for 15 years and I'll always be grateful for the opportunity they gave me through the Rookies Cup. But this is something I can't control."

With Monster Energy now a major partner of Aprilia, Martin's iconic Red Bull branding has disappeared from his helmet, marking the end of an important chapter in his career.

🗣️ "For now, it's over. I don't know if we'll work together again one day, but as of today, we're no longer together."

In place of the Red Bull logo, Martin will promote Kumo, the new restaurant he plans to open in Madrid later this year 🍣✨

The end of a 15-year partnership, but perhaps not the end of the story. 👀

💔 An update has been released on Maria Costello's condition following her recent accident.

Her injuries have been confirmed as:

• Paralysed from T5/T6 down
• Broken back (T5 and T6 vertebrae)
• Broken arm
• Multiple broken ribs
• Grade 4 liver laceration
• Broken nose
• Broken eye socket
• Facial lacerations
• Broken sternum

Maria now faces a long and challenging recovery journey. She will require specialist rehabilitation, physiotherapy, and potentially further surgeries as she works towards regaining as much mobility and independence as possible.

After dedicating her life to the sport she loves, Maria is now facing her toughest challenge yet. The road ahead will have a lifelong impact, but those who know her determination understand she will approach recovery with the same courage and strength she has always shown on and off the track ❤️

Our thoughts are with Maria, her family, friends, and everyone supporting her during this difficult time.

The TT legend claimed victory in the Supersport race, extending his incredible record to 9 consecutive Supersport wins and an astonishing 34 TT victories overall 🤯👏

A truly historic achievement from one of the greatest road racers of all time.

🥹🏍️ Just look at that...

From his first years in Grand Prix racing to his MotoGP victories and the incredible journey with Aprilia, every motorcycle holds a memory, a challenge, and a milestone.

🤯📊 Aprilia Racing is on another level right now!

Thanks to the incredible performances of Marco Bezzecchi and Jorge Martin, the team has built a massive 150-point advantage at the top of the Team Championship standings 🏆🟢

Consistency, speed, and results have turned Aprilia into the benchmark of the 2026 MotoGP season so far 🔥🏍️

Can anyone stop them? 👀

Luca Marini left Mugello frustrated after contact with Raul Fernandez ruined what had been a strong recovery through the field.

🗣️ "He hit me at Turn 10 and sent me into the gravel. If I hadn't complained, he wouldn't have been penalized."

Marini believes the incident completely changed the course of his race after a strong start from 19th on the grid.

🗣️ "They wanted to give me a six-place grid penalty, but the grid was already full. So they said three was fine."

The Honda rider also pointed to the role of camera footage in Race Direction decisions.

🗣️ "If there's footage, they penalize you. If there isn't, maybe they don't see it."

Despite the disappointment, Marini praised officials for their efforts to improve consistency.

🗣️ "Race Direction is doing an excellent job. They're improving, and it's not easy to manage every situation."

Looking ahead, Marini says discussions about his future are ongoing.

🗣️ "We're talking, we're looking, but it's still early. There will be plenty of time to finalize the last spots."

🚨 A major rider market rumor has emerged from Mugello!

According to journalist Rosario Triolo, current WorldSBK championship leader Nicolò Bulega is set to join VR46 Racing Team in 2027, where he would partner Fermín Aldeguer.

If confirmed, it would mark Bulega's return to the MotoGP paddock after establishing himself as one of the standout riders in WorldSBK and becoming a key figure in Ducati's racing project.

🗣️ “The rider who will partner Aldeguer at VR46 in 2027 will be Nicolò Bulega.”

For now, no official confirmation has been made by Ducati, VR46, or Bulega himself, but speculation surrounding the Italian's MotoGP future continues to grow.
