🇳🇿 Courtney Duncan’s comeback continues to gather momentum.

The four-time Women’s Motocross World Champion finished fifth overall at the German GP and climbed to third in the WMX standings – an impressive achievement considering she missed the entire 2025 season while recovering from a serious heart condition.

After showing podium pace throughout the weekend and missing the overall podium by just a single point, Duncan looks increasingly likely to return to the front of the field.

The weather has once again forced organisers to reshuffle the 2026 Isle of Man TT schedule.

The Senior TT remains the priority, while one race now faces cancellation if conditions don’t improve quickly.

The Tiger Sport 660 was already one of the best all-rounders in the middleweight class.

Now it’s got 17% more power.

Triumph has lifted output from 81bhp to 95bhp for 2026, added a larger fuel tank and sharpened the styling, creating a sports-tourer that’s faster, more capable and even better suited to life on the road.

Adam Child headed to southern Spain to find out whether the updates make a great bike even better.

Looking for an enduro bike that can do more than just race between the tapes?

Beta has unveiled its 2027 RR X-Pro range, adding new electronics, improved suspension and more comfort across the lineup.

The big news is the addition of Launch Control and Quick Shift on the four-stroke models, while Kiwi riders will appreciate the fact that many X-Pro models can still be road registered — making them ideal lightweight adventure bikes as well as serious trail and enduro machines.

Ride to the trail, hit the singletrack, then ride home.

That’s a pretty appealing package.

Michael Dunlop just keeps rewriting the record books. The Northern Irishman claimed his 34th Isle of Man TT victory and ninth consecutive Supersport win with a dominant performance aboard the Ducati Panigale V2.

Meanwhile, Kiwi rider Mitch Rees continued to impress, bringing his Honda home in 13th place on his Supersport TT debut.

At this point, the question isn’t whether Dunlop will win at the TT.

It’s how many.
