2 years since my accident next week and although I never intended for it to happen, I can’t imagine my life and what it would be like, if it hadn’t.
I’m grateful for every breath I take, the memories I make & the people that are on the journey with me.
2 years, it’s been wild.
This job has been a privilege. MotoGP has given me so much & I can’t wait to take everything I’ve learned to
@sekhmetracing
& build out a team, a brand & a future in racing, starting with the
#WorldWCR
Championship.
So Martin has finished on the podium, & is second in the championship. I get it, racing is racing, but where is the consistency?
We're punishing Fabio for taking the inside line with a small rub against Lori, but martin forced out three people on the opening lap... & Marini
BREAKING VISAGATE UPDATE: A FACTORY MOTOGP TEAM AND THEIR RIDER HAVE MISSED THEIR FLIGHT AFTER BEIGN REFUSED BOARDING AT PASSPORT CONTROL.
The team is now scrambling to rebook flights, which is apparently quite difficult when everyone else is doing the same thing.

2 years ago I was in hospital unable to walk with 60% of my skin burnt off and celebrating Christmas only with my nurses, because all of the borders were shut due to covid. I was alone. Not that you’d know it now, but humbling nonetheless. 🤍
OUR FIRST CHAMPIONSHIP POINT BABY! 👏
Proud of you, happy for you and thank you
@Mallory126
🤍
It was a tough weekend, but that is officially the end of the beginning ✨

#WorldWCR
I was on fire 3 years ago today 🥳
(no really)
And at midnight last night, a bunch of road racers brought me a bottle of champagne and we laughed about it (quickly followed by shots, yes, I hate myself)
Anyway, happy 3rd second birthday to me 🥂
The real loss in this sport is not Rossi retiring or Marc getting surgery. Its that there’s been no building of the sport outside of some key personalities. It’s like when an employee leaves a business, and takes all the IP with them. I’m really sad mugello isn’t pumping.
No publisher, no problem.
Yes, it is a bit of a read. The kind of read where you start and you can’t stop.
@matoxley
said it was good, so read it! TT2023, you’ve been interesting.
Thank you to my wonderful friends who got me through the last 2 weeks 🤍
The amount of old men messaging my riders/ team to bully them, comparing them to their sons, because they couldn’t get them into world championship racing is actually astonishing.
Advice to riders, your parents are the problem.
Could be you one day.
Confirmation that at least 1 rider has had to go home for the night instead of boarding the plane - due to, you guessed it, no visa in their pocket.
Stay tuned for more 🗞️
Marshal at the TT:
Bucket list check ✅
Thank you so much to
@ttracesofficial
for letting me document the experience, can’t wait to share it with you all!
If you’re on the rock over the comp period, apply to be a marshal here: 🏁

Diggia has been handed a three second penalty for tyre pressure moving him into fourth. Binder has moved into 3rd, zarco into 2nd….
Tyre pressures will ruin this sport.
Just another prick on the internet insinuating that I must be a hooker.
Firstly, the going rate for women in business is well out of your budget. If your country was half as smart as they pretend to be, they’d tax it and make it safe.
Secondly, take your wee prick & shift it.
Raul will take his final lap of the course on Wednesday June 21st at noon and his service will be held at 1.15pm.
My thoughts are still with his family and loved ones. You are missed Raul.
Demoted off of the podium, after the celebrations and the press conference. That is disgraceful. Honestly I cannot believe this. Of course it was going to happen. Foul.
I can’t believe I’m having to do this.
There is a scam account acting as Mia. It is asking for money. Please, do not send money to this account.
Mia’s family have been providing updates periodically. Please leave them be. Please block and report this account.
How utterly sick.
Thank you to my new friend Lloyd (the incredible trophy man) who let me hold the winners trophy while Michael Dunlop was on stage, he came off the stage laughing and smiling profusely so I think it’s fair to say it’s been a cracker day for him!
I’m so excited to announce
@sekhmetracing

Deeply sad to hear that Anthony Gobert has passed away, his mum said via facebook. My sincere condolences to the whole Gobert family. Alex particularly, who has been a friend to me.
The FIM once again proving that they have no idea how to run an event.
If anyone is about Liverpool tonight, the Cavern Club Beatles are on from 10. I know cover Paul really well. Anyone up for it? We can go to the Gin Distillery on castle st after xx
Not one single part of this has been easy in any sense of the word.
I do have a world championship team though. And for that, I know it was worth it.
@sekhmetracing
is real. I did that.

I once, would seldom rare talk about my accident. I felt like it wasn’t humble or it was selfish. I see things differently now and for a few reasons.

VISA GATE UPDATE: HALF WAY TO DUBLIN,
@denkmit

More news as it comes to hand 🗞️

Earlier this month, we spoke to

#WomenInMotorsport
Thank you
@KevinSchwantz
and family for having us over. It was a pleasure 🤍
AND Kevin is officially the GOAT in my eyes and can never be beaten on account of the fact he has miniature donkeys 😭🤍🫏
Today, 3 factory teams & their riders haven’t got on their flights. Needless to say countless other freelance journalists & photographers who are now not only out of pocket, but the potential losses for this weekend are huge.
How do you say disgrace in your language?
#visagate
You are really special to me, and I am so grateful to have spent the last 2 seasons sitting next to you, learning from you, talking shit and drinking spritz. Good time, not a long time n all that 🥂
@matoxley
Welcome to Sydney. If it rains the trains stop. If it’s too hot the trains stop. Electrical work at Town Hall station - THE WHOLE DAMN NETWORK STOPS
#SydneyTrains
It actually boggles my mind that a single train with mechanical issues can shut down a whole transport network. In a developed country. In Sydney. That isn't normal, or acceptable.
@T1SydneyTrains
#sydneytrains
Available for bookings and parties, sure to light up any media centre with humour and laughter - Thanks for everything MotoGP. What a ride 2023 has been 🏍️
See you next year?… 🐣
Have fun, and try to enjoy it
@denkmit
. I know a lot of the fans are excited and I hope things start to improve for everyone else too. It should never have been like this.
#visagate
So who loses here?
Dorna, the respect of their fans.
Teams, paying millions of Euros to compete in a sub par competition
Journalists and photographers, their income
Indian and global fans, their faith in MotoGP and their associates abilities to execute a world class event.
- the track is still not homologated
- the wall is too close to the track
- pit lane entry is also not in the place it should be
- Dorna charged an excess for a ‘seamless visa application’ and the visas haven’t been issued
- snake infestation
… World Championship 🐍
Me fighting with yanks on the internet about how great they are and why abortion should be illegal and how guns are necessary - and then remembering I am Australian with free access to health care, maternity leave, clinics and no guns. Blessed. 💕
And another guest of a hospitality leaving the paddock abusing a couple of the same sex who had come to the race & were getting autographs. “I remember when motogp was for real men not whatever the fuck you f**s are”. Wtf. Reported it. But I’m bewildered. I can’t.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU MOTOGP?! How many times are we going to see the same accident from a different angle. Do you have no fucking humility?
Sick bastards.
I wrote a letter a few months back, asking teams if they would consider removing stairs from their lower levels to aid people with accessibility and disability restrictions, when coming to hospitalities for work related subjects.
1 hospitality listened, and did.
