Prepare for the worst, hope for the best. The moment of the weekend where a mechanic's job can be at its toughest, or smoothest.
Jump on board with Marcos' rear end mechanic Mats, guiding you through to 6th on the grid for the Thai Grand Prix last weekend.

POINTS DOWN UNDER!!
The race in Phillip Island was cut short due to horrrrrendous weather conditions, but the lads brought their bikes home and both got points!!!🏁🇦🇺
Rory took his best-ever finish in 13th, taking 2 points away - his first at World Championship level. By the red flag, he was right on Marcos' coat tails who finished 10th!
Well in boys!!!👊

DOWN UNDER!🇦🇺
Welcome to Phillip Island, the team have already touched down but since there was a delay in all our bikes and parts getting to the circuit, it was an unexpected extra day off to start the race week... which can mean only one thing: team BBQ🍖🌽🤤
Fewer places on the calendar are as awesome as the Australian Grand Prix.

Race day wrapped up in Indonesia!
Our rookie @rory_skinner_33 got his equal best finish down in 19th - a couple of seconds off the points - in the toughest conditions he's faced yet in Moto2... over 60 degrees celsius track temperature🔥🔥🔥
Steps forward like this are exactly the kind of progress we love to see, closer and closer to the points and front runners🫡
Meanwhile, Marcos finished in 16th after being hampered by severe grip issues. Sometimes racing goes like this...
Just five days until we're back racing in Australia!

Not how you want to start a race😅
But as they say, it doesn't matter how many times you get knocked down - you get right back up.
This crash at turn one on lap one brought out the red flags, and boy did Marcos and the crew get back up, dust themselves off and get the job done. Check out the vid of all the crew with hands on deck to get him back running!
P9 for Marcos, his first top 10 since 2021 and the team's first this year!👌🫡

We're in India this week for the first-ever Grand Prix in the country, just south east of New Delhi at the Buddh International Circuit and MMAAANNN!!!! What a place!😍
Only two of the 90 riders in the MotoGP World Championships have ever raced here before so we had a rare treat yesterday on the track walk - Rory rode his bicycle and his crew chief Stu came along for the ride too. Usually, Stu is in the pit box looking over data to help Rory find a set up for Friday but given we have no reference for the place beyond the videogame, he needed a real in-depth look at the circuit.
We've finished up practice already where the riders were out there for a near two hours of track action in 33 degrees celsius 🥵 Marcos needed a cool off so we put one of our flight boxes to good use😂

UNCUT: Rory's mechanical🛠️ & Marcos' contact with another rider💥
It's not often that Moto2 bikes suffer mechanical failures, but unfortunately, Rory found a gearbox issue during Sunday's race in Misano - unable to select third gear, he had to retire from the race.
Marcos returns from full race distance with a couple more points in the bag, despite the best efforts of some other riders, leaving him with a broken seat unit from the battle😅

He's BACK!
The rider that we started it all with, Joe Roberts, is returning to the team for the 2024 Moto2 season!
We had our most successful season yet back in 2020 with the American, taking three pole positions and one podium. Since then, Joe's spent three years with another team and returns to us as a Grand Prix winner.
We're stoked to have him back and take a step towards fighting for the World Championship next year together👌🏁

POV: You're a mechanic on pit wall during Moto2 practice.
Here's one minute of David Sanchez, one of Rory's mechanics, flat out during a busy session in Austria giving Rory all the information he needs on his pit board:
- How many laps left of the current run
- His current position on the leaderboard
- His best time so far
Hands up who thinks this is one of the coolest jobs in racing?☝️

Yesssssss lads🏁
Points in the bag for Marcos on his first outing with the team & Rory got his first finish since Jerez at the end of April!
Been a long road back for our rookie following a luckless streak since the French GP in mid-May but Rory got his personal best finish in Moto2 and was relieved to have avoided all the chaos today.
Here's what they both had to say about today...

Marcos Ramirez steps in as Sean Dylan Kelly continues recovery.
Despite the progress in his recovery from arm pump surgery, SDK will be side-lined to give him the best chance possible to return to full fitness as we approach three of the most physical rounds on the calendar.
Marcos will return to the team where he rode for two seasons having mutually agreed with the Forward Team to substitute Sean.

UNCUT🎬 Sean's commentary debut!
As you saw, SDK had to sit out the British Grand Prix this past weekend as he's still recovering from surgery so we sent him to do some other work and join the official MotoGP Commentary Team to talk Moto2 in Friday's practice session...
Honestly? The kid did great even though he was SUPER nervous! Who listened in on motogp.com? Let us know if you heard our guy! 🫡

Absolutely gutted.
Rory had his best qualifying result ever in Moto2 this weekend at his home round in the UK, but his race lasted 3 corners as he was taken out by another rider in a multi-rider crash.
He's very sore but otherwise OK, we're just bummed for our rookie's luck not yet turning around.
Regroup, onwards and upwards for Austria in 2 weeks🫡

Oh hey! Summer break is over and WE'RE BACK!... but there's a couple things you need to know:
It's the BritishGP from Silverstone & Rory's home race, he's returning from injury fully fit, ready to go. Sean, however, is here with us but won't be riding as he still has to recover from forearm surgery he had at the beginning of summer break - he hopes to be back at the next race.
With all that being said, here's how the whole team's feeling ahead of the weekend, in the latest UNCUT🎬

Rory returns from injury next weekend!🙌
Last time he raced, he (reluctantly) agreed that we could give him a mullet at the final race... but we've been thinking...
Should he do it for his home race at Silverstone next week?🤔

UNCUT🎬 Talking Travel with Sean
We spend 10 months of the year on the road with the MotoGP World Championship, visiting 18 different countries along the way.
It's hectic, and we just finished our first 'triple header' of the season - Italy, Germany & the Netherlands, all in 3 weeks.
We sat Sean down to have a brief chat about the challenges & perks of being on the road for so long. Enjoy!

The one that got away for Sean. A difficult Sunday where he was hoping for his first points of the season but unfortunately fell short by just a few seconds come the chequered flag.

UNCUT: Saturday at Sachsenring🎬
Sean made it straight through to the top 18 in Qualifying, while our super-sub Carlos Tatay had his first Saturday as a Moto2 World Championship rider.
It was soaking wet as the riders geared up for the final practice in the morning, which left Carlos no opportunity to improve on 27th from FP1/2 Friday, but left Sean directly in 13th & a Qualifying 2 place.
They'll line up P18 & P26 respectively for the German Grand Prix tomorrow!👊
