Monza in Italy has a reputation as a breaker of engines, bikes...and riders. It also provides some of the closest racing anywhere. SBK came back to the oldest purpose built racetrack still in use, and the weekend did not disappoint. Tight, aggressive but fair racing was the order of the day. With a side helping of chaos...

Assen in Holland is renowned for being fast, flowing and an exciting place to watch motorbikes. This year's SBK meeting was no exception, despite early suggestions that the sea was attempting to reclaim this part of Holland from above...

Sam Lowes is always worth a brief chat, even when he's all sweaty and sweary after a good hard race. We cranked up the bleep machine and went to track him down for a few choice words after the race at Assen...and found him in particularly fine form...

World Superbikes came back to Europe for what many regard as the proper start to the season - Aragon in sunny Spain. As usual, there were thrills and spills a-plenty, and though we saw plenty of familiar faces at the top of the timesheets, a welcome new arrival cropped up, too...

 

Chaz Davies won the World Supersport championship at Aragon in 2011, he got his first Superbike podium here in 2012 and now he's back with a full factory team at the top of his game. How does he feel about that? We asked him...

Marco Melandri is an interesting character - blindingly fast but occasionally unpredictable on the circuit and relaxed and personable off it. We had the opportunity to catch up with him before things got going properly at Aragon, and this is what he had to say for himself...

World Superbikes is back with a bang, opening at Phillip Island with a pair of superb races that fill us with hope for a good, exciting season ahead. Yes, so one team seems a little, um, dominant right now, but that can change soon enough, can't it? For now we had lap records, crashes and exchanges of paint...

If you want to go anywhere further than just down the road on your bike then you'll need a way to carry things. I've been using the Ventura Bike-Pack for sixteen years and finally decided that yes, I can review it. The fact that I've been using it so long should give you a clue as to how good it is...

Wheeldon Off-Road Centre has rightly received some praise from us as the place to go if you want to take your riding skills to a new level. But what about if you don't really have any riding skills to start with? We sent our intrepid staff writer, Laura, down to find out. And to see if she fell on her backside...

Cleaning your bike is always going to be a bit of a chore. Well, unless you're slightly obsessive like my mate Stuart, of course. But even the most dedicated cleaning enthusiast will appreciate this Ceramic Paint Protector which makes life so much easier...

In keeping with another article nearby about things to do out of the ordinary, you might want to consider taking your road riding to another level with a bit of full-on training on the epic (and I use the word in its proper sense) Nurburgring Nordschleife. You will never have a more intense riding experience...or more on road fun.

It's getting to that time when riding on the road becomes just too nasty to be fun. So how do you get your biking fix? Well, you could try the Wheeldon Off-Road Centre for a start. Because you'll learn loads, have more fun than you believed possible and quite possibly get to hang out with a genuine biking legend as well...

Suspension. It's spring, apparently, so this is a good opportunity to have a quick fettle without taking out valuable riding time. And although you'll need to hit the road for some of this second instalment, at least reading it now will give you a better idea of what to expect when Mr Blue Sky comes back to stay a bit longer...
