Who Will Be The Next British MotoGP Rider?

# data[].attributes.body
So this article I actually wrote during 2nd year of university whilst we were still in a full lockdown. To date it remains my most viewed article with over 7k views and plenty of viewer interaction through likes and comments. I put so many hours of research into this article to make it as factual and accurate as possible, to make the reader feel engaged to it. Overall I probably spent three days making this article, so that includes the research process and the writing process. I remain really happy with it, I believe the article is well written and broken up well with accurate images. I do wish I’d spent more time researching younger riders as these are more unknown people who actually may not have featured in many articles. Apart from that I’m really happy with it.

No British rider will be lining up for the 2021 MotoGP Season, so where do our hopes for a British MotoGP rider lie?

For the first time since 2010, no British rider will be racing in the MotoGP class this season, after Aprilia opted with Luca Salvadori over Bradley Smith and Cal Crutchlow became the new Yamaha test rider after being replaced by Alex Marquez. Since 2010 we have seen Bradley Smith, Cal Crutchlow, James Ellison, Scott Redding, Michael Laverty, Johnny Rea (albeit as a stand in) and Sam Lowes all fly the British flag high in MotoGP, so where should we be looking for the next British MotoGP rider? Let's take a look at some of the possibilities.

Sam Lowes

Sam was unfortunate to have his single season in MotoGP hampered by the poor Aprilia RS-GP in 2017. Arguably the worst bike he could've ridden in 2017, Sam ended the year with only five points, and a dismal eight retirements. Sam and Aprilia was a combination that just didn't work, to those outside it was clear to see that Lowes was given very little respect and poor treatment during his short spell with the team, something that Aprilia were heavily criticised for. Since then the 30-year-old has been a dominant figure back in the Moto2 class, and a regular frontrunner. 2020 saw him join the brilliant Marc VDS team, where he achieved three wins, seven podiums and overall third in the world standings in an almost perfect campaign. A heavy crash at the penultimate round in Valencia during FP3 saw Sam cause damage to his right hand, something which in the end would see the title slip through his fingers. Nevertheless it was a valiant effort by Sam and further proved his speed, bravery and talent on a bike. A MotoGP ride in 2022 would be exactly what he deserves for one of the quickest riders in the entire paddock, just maybe not on an Aprilia! However with teams preferring to opt with a younger rider, is Sam unlikely to get the opportunity?

Jake Dixon

Jake's second year in Moto2 was a huge step up from his rookie season, moving from being on a KTM to onboard a Kalex. Moving to Petronas SRT has been a blessing for Jake, a season which has seen him make progress through the field progressively over the duration of the season. By the end of 2020 Jake finished with four top ten finishes and a top finish of fourth overall, coming painfully close to not only a podium, but a win in Le Mans before crashing out in the final corner late on. Valencia just wasn't the track for the British riders last year, as Jake too had a massive highside during FP2 during the first of the two weekends in Valencia. The crash saw Jake have to miss the final three rounds of the season, after having surgery to fix a fractured wrist caused by the crash. It was such an unfortunate incident for the 25-year-old, in a season which saw him begin in the bottom half of the grid and end with him well inside the top ten. Jake remains with Petronas for 2021, in a season which will hopefully see him further progress. His first Moto2 podium and win is a realistic target for Jake, who come the end of the season could possibly be in line for a ride in MotoGP, that all depends on a certain Doctor! Jake is still young in racing terms, so has plenty of time to get himself into MotoGP, he is unquestionably in the best position to gain a MotoGP ride in 2022 or 2023, should Valentino Rossi remain at Petronas beyond this season. A step up from being in the SRT Moto2 team to being brought into their MotoGP team, is definitely the most likely route for Jake. It is for this reason that he is probably going to be the next British rider in MotoGP.

John McPhee

For British riders Petronas seems to be the place to be, John McPhee had yet another successful Moto3 campaign last season with Petronas. In his second season wearing the Petronas colours, he ended the year in seventh place in the standings, claiming a win in Misano and four podiums along the way. The 26-year-old who is entering his ninth season in Moto3 will be looking to move to Moto2 in 2022, hopefully with the Petronas team if possible., with the age limit in Moto3 of 28-years-old, looming close for McPhee. If John were to move to Moto2 with Petronas in 2022, then he will need a strong season this year, he certainly has the credentials to yet again fight for the world title. Is the possibility of MotoGP too far for McPhee though? In motorsport you can never say never, however with the Scotsman turning 27 in July, will he begin to get overlooked by younger riders who could sustain a longer career in MotoGP. If John wants to end up in MotoGP then he needs that move to Moto2 for 2022 for any chance of that, and remaining with the Petronas SRT squad makes perfect sense, but again this all depends on if a seat is even available. Could we possibly see John move to World Superbikes or World Supersport; BSB could also be thrown into the picture. What can be guaranteed is that McPhee will have plenty of options, and rightfully so.

Scott Redding

Unbelievably Scott is only 28-years-old, and remains one of the fastest riders in any class. The man who it feels like has been around forever spent five years in MotoGP, riding for Gresini, Marc VDS, Pramac and Aprilia managing two podiums in his time in the top tier. Similar to Sam it was riding for Aprilia that proved to be the mistake for Scott, where after one season the two went their separate ways, in a season where Scott considered if he even wanted to keep racing. Since 2018 Scott has turned a corner, taking a surprise move to BSB for 2019 turned out to be a stroke of genius, the Brit riding the Ducati dominated the championship taking the crown in his rookie BSB season. Last season we saw Scott make the move from BSB, to the World Superbike Championship, onboard the Aruba.it factory Ducati. He took WSBK by storm giving the now six-time world champion Jonathan Rea a great title fight. Unfortunately for Scott the runners-up spot was the best he could manage, however their is plenty of belief that he can go one better in 2021. So despite having spent five years already in MotoGP, could he return? The answer to that is quite possibly, something that does go in Scott's favour is experience, he is potentially riding in his best form yet, could he end up being offered a seat with Ducati in MotoGP in either the factory side or in one of their satellite camps in 2022 or 2023? Similar to Rea and Alex Lowes, who are 34 and 30 respectively, they are all currently riding the best bikes in World Superbikes, so it would either take a desire to complete unfinished business in MotoGP, or a seriously competitive bike to perhaps make Scott return to MotoGP.

Rory Skinner

Rory Skinner is a name we will be hearing a lot more of over the coming years, the 19-year-old made a mockery of the British Supersport championship in 2020, winning the first six races cruising to the title to become the championship's youngest ever winner. The extremely talented Scotsman is moving to BSB for 2021 onboard a Kawasaki with the FS-3 racing team. Those who watch and follow only the MotoGP paddock should recognise Rory's name, he was the inaugural winner of the British Talent Cup in 2018, and spent the three years prior to the talent cup in the RedBull Rookies championship, a category which another rider making a name for himself Bradley Ray also rode. Rory is without a doubt a name known within the MotoGP paddock having spent many years within the paddock as a young teen. A move to BSB could see Rory follow a similar route to Jake Dixon, who moved from BSB to Moto2 in 2019. Riding superbike machinery leaves a few possible routes open to MotoGP, perhaps through Moto2 or the FIM CEV Moto2 championship (unlikely) or possibly even staying on a superbike and moving to WSBK. For Rory there is no reason to panic, he is still very young and has many racing years ahead of him. If he is able to carry his speed from 2020 into BSB in 2021, it will be highly likely that Rory Skinner is a name we will be seeing in the MotoGP paddock very soon.

Anyone else?

This piece could go on forever, but the names mentioned are already known in the paddock, which could set them aside to British riders still trying to make their mark. There are so many youngsters to keep an eye out for, riders like, Joshua Whatley, Edward O'Shea and Scott Odgen, all of whom are racing in the highly competitive CEV Repsol Moto3 championship, a championship which has seen the majority of the riders in the paddock come through. They are just a few names to watch out for in the future. What can be guaranteed is that even-though we will be without a British MotoGP rider this season, the future of British riders in MotoGP is very bright and hopefully it won't be too long until the Union Jack is flying high on the top step, of the MotoGP podium.

Which British rider do you want to see in MotoGP?

Me and some uni peers have decided to make a podcast based around the managerial side of football for one of our artefacts for FB663 CW2.

After having a meeting we’ve decided that Monday’s will be the best time to record the podcast with the aim of having it uploaded to Sports Locker by Wednesday so that it is as relevant to the previous weekends matches as possible.

My role is co-host and researcher, so I’ve got send links to the other hosts the day before we record the pod so that we are fully researched on the topics we are going to discuss and have a reasonable knowledge of them.

Trial pod went well, it flowed nicely between us as we found a way of interacting with each other to let each other know when we want to talk. This was done through eye contact. Overall sounded good but was probably too long, the episode was just over an hour which is probably too long for this sort of podcast.

Just recorded our first real episode for sports locker, it went much better, was around 40mins long and flowed nicely again, nothing else to say really apart from that we will record our next episode next week.

Episode two now recorded and again sounds really good, similar duration to last week as well. It’s now over to the editor to get this pod edited and sent over to SL. The last episode sounded really good when it was uploaded.

As a final artefact, myself and some peers, who I also did the podcast and Hemel Hempstead show with, have decided to make another TV show. This show will be on the new Sunday league social media team Millennium Arch FC, who are run by some third year student at UCFB. Having decided roles I am again the presenter.

Show prep is going well, we’ve lined up an interview with the club’s secretary and have piled together some research which I can use to begin the script writing process. All in all it’s going much better than the last show.

Just recorded the show in the studio, all went really smoothly with no difficulties whatsoever. Felt like my presenting was good, may even use some of the footage in my show reel. Now over to the editor to piece the whole show together.

Just been messaged by the editor, the show is now on SL and looks brilliant. I’m really happy with how the show looks and it’s professional appearance. Definitely going to use some of the footage in my showreel. I feel like the whole process went really well, considering we produced it all within 2 weeks.

Inside Rangers: UCFB present U23s' win over Ipswich

# data[].attributes.body
Unbelievable experience reporting and co-presenting on the latest episode of Inside Rangers, as QPR u23’s took on Ipswich Town u’23. Incredibly proud seeing myself on the club website and on their socials. I feel like the day went really well and that my presenting was strong. I think my reporting needs some improvement as I missed some good opportunities to ask follow up questions. I feel so much more confident presenting rather than reporting . Nevertheless an unforgettable experience and something I can use to get jobs in the future

Finally finished the show, was definitely a difficult process. The show does look good and is already attracting views on sports locker but I do feel like it could be so much better. I don’t think we communicated well as a team meaning that in the end it all felt very rushed, we are lucky to an extent that the editor has done a really good job and that the presenting from myself and Doeke went well too. Perhaps we were caught up with other assignments, it just became really frustrating with people not doing their roles. Maybe I should’ve taken a more senior role other than just presenter so that I could have tried to keep everyone on track.

Started a YouTube channel back in January 2021 whilst Covid restrictions were still massively in place. Was a way for me to improve my presenting, content creation, editing and filming whilst going to university wasn't possible. Despite channel's so far slow growth, to me it's more of a place where I can improve my skills and make content which I enjoy and want to share with people.

Reflection:

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Mixture of F1 and Chelsea content, bit random but that's a bit like me. Simply making content on the sports and team I love. If you enjoy F1, football and possibly support Chelsea then this is the place to be. Bringing you weekly videos and the occasional vlog along the way!

Nick Golding, Author at The Checkered Flag

# data[].attributes.body
Since March, I have been a journalist for The Checkered Flag, an online independent motorsport news website since 2009, with over 19k followers on Twitter and over 2k on Instagram.

Having started as just a writer, I had all my work proof-read and published by my editior-in-chief. From this I gained valuable feedback on my writing style and how to improve/develop it. In June I was promoted to self-publisher, meaning I am trusted to publish my own work straight onto the websites social media pages.

My role involves covering Formula 1, covering Press Releases and each session from a F1 weekend as well as session reports. Occassionally involves communicating with other companies who email me asking myself to write an article promoting their event.

This is the link to my author page.

Reflection: it’s been tough going recently working for TCF. When I began the role at the start of the year I had much more time on my hands and therefore more time to put aside for TCF. Now with university being back on campus and with the additional time of commuting, time-management has become more important than ever for myself. It’s been difficult finding the right balance between studies, writing and my personal life, however I feel like I’m managing well. It’s been exhausting covering F1 this season, with it being the longest season in the history of the sport. Having to cover three races back-to-back across three weekends multiple times this year has been a very stressful experience. Writing 10-20 pieces across 3/4 days three weekends in a row has been a real challenge. However it’s getting myself used to what it’s like to work in F1 as a journalist, and it’s absolutely frantic.

Heartbreak for Norris as Hamilton Claims Victory 100 in Incredible Russian Grand Prix ahead of Verstappen - The Checkered Flag

Russian Grand Prix Race Report 26/09/21 LINK ABOVE

Had to cover the grand prix, very similar to how a match report is done, except their is now Half-Time to write half the report!
The report has to be published within the hour of the race finishing.

Reflection:
Arguably the most stressed I have ever been whilst covering a race. I was on race report duty, meaning I had to effectively write a race report whilst it was happening, and a LOT happened. It was probably one of the most exciting races I’ve watched in a long time. You can’t just wait until the highlights are out to write the report, by then other websites will have already released their report, it’s about being as quick and as accurate as possible. I’ve never typed so much in my life but it was a valuable experience to gain, being able to write a report whilst it’s happening live was a challenge but a worth whole one. The report was well received across social media and gave me the confidence to put myself forward to write more race reports rather than just cover the press releases.

Lewis Hamilton finally claimed victory number One-Hundred at the Russian Grand Prix, after judging the switch to Intermediates in the closing laps perfectly at the Sochi Autodrom, Max Verstappen despite starting last finished second with Carlos Sainz Jr rounding off the podium.

The race begun under dry conditions but with a seventy percent chance of rain at some point in the race, no one could have predicted that it would come as heavy as it did in the final seven laps! There was drama before the race had even begun, as Valtteri Bottas had yet another new power unit fitted resulting in an engine penalty, he started sixteenth. Ahead of Charles Leclerc and most importantly Verstappen.

Lando Norris made an initially great start from pole, but was a sitting duck with a huge slipstream behind as Sainz despite making a poor start led into Turn Two with Norris and George Russell behind. Hamilton too made a poor start but made it four a breast down into Turn Two thanks to the slipstream. The world champion lost out though and dropped down to seventh, the Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team driver not wanting to risk an early fight. Lance Stroll made a great start and launched into fourth ahead of Daniel Ricciardo.

Further down the field the Leclerc made the best start of the engine penalty quadruple, and worked his way to twelfth by the end of the first lap. Bottas and Verstappen didn't make as much ground as the Scuderia Ferrari driver. Home boy Nikita Mazepin made an excellent start up to thirteenth.

In the opening stages Sainz and Norris were able to escape and build an eight second gap over Russell, who had a DRS train of Stroll, Ricciardo, Hamilton and Sergio Pérez behind. The Williams Racing car clearly not on the same pace as those in the top seven.

A similar story was occurring further down the field as a DRS train led by Kimi Räikkönen in tenth, saw drivers down to fifteenth stuck behind the Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN. The charging Verstappen who started on the hard was one of those stuck in the train, the Red Bull Racing driver importantly overtook Bottas down the inside into Turn Thirteen on Lap 7/53. A crucial move by the Dutchman who overtook Pierre Gasly in the same spot for thirteenth two laps later.

It was nearly big trouble for Verstappen on Lap 10 as Sebastian Vettel and Leclerc battled hard ahead of the Red Bull driver from Turns Four to Seven. Verstappen tried to overtake both at Turn Seven in an opportunistic move but was quick to pull out just in time, with a potential crash just averted. He did move ahead of Leclerc for twelfth.

With Qualifying Two being wet, all twenty drivers were allowed to start on fresh tyres, however drivers who started on the medium compound begun to struggle early on with front graining, team strategists were working hard on other strategies.

Up at the front and Sainz who did have a two second lead over Norris suddenly found himself under threat from the McLaren F1 Team, driver who got himself within DRS range. Norris went for a move at Turn Four but couldn't quite pull it off on Lap 12. Norris then complained of his tyres being done, before closing the gap again rapidly and overtaking the Ferrari down into Turn Thirteen on Lap 13.

Behind the leaders, the Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One Team pulled the trigger with Stroll pitting on Lap 13, the undercut worked a treat as he jumped Russell who pitted on the following lap. Aston Martin were almost jumping for joy as Sainz who pitted on Lap 15 almost came out behind Stroll, the undercut proving to be incredibly strong.

On Lap 17, Norris led from Ricciardo and Hamilton, all still to pit but with a rapid Red Bull of Max Verstappen charging after them in sixth, lapping just over a second a lap faster on occasions. The Dutchman was setting fastest lap after fastest lap quickly hunting down his championship rival, whilst the mountains around the circuit became worryingly smothered in rain clouds in the distance.

By Lap 20 race leader Norris had a ten second lead over Ricciardo. The top ten drivers all had yet to pit, whilst the early leader and front runners Sainz, Stroll and Russell sat in eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth. Pitting early began to look like the wrong call though, as the track began to rubber in and those who had yet to pit had their graining slowly clear up.

Drama struck on Lap 23 as Italian Grand Prix winner Ricciardo made a late dive into the pits, covering Mercedes who had ran into the pit-lane as a dummy. It was a very slow stop for the Australian, giving away track position to Hamilton who was now in clear air in second and lapping much quicker, gapping Pérez behind. A few places behind Hamilton, Verstappen who was now in fifth began to complain on the team radio that he couldn't turn the car, after working his way through the field the Dutchman was beginning to struggle on his hard tyres whilst behind Fernando Alonso.

Hamilton who had been pushing hard in the clean air locked up when braking for Turn Two on Lap 27, so on that lap the seven-time world champion made his way into the pits where he had an excellent stop, coming out ahead of Ricciardo in ninth. Verstappen also pitted at the end of Lap 27 but didn't have as clean a stop, he came out in twelfth but quickly made his way up to eleventh.

Race leader and pole sitter Norris finally made his stop on Lap 29 and had a brilliant pit-stop, coming out in fourth but importantly ahead of those who had already pitted. Bottas pitted too and came out in fifteenth. Pérez now led from Alonso and Leclerc, the trio had yet to stop.

Hamilton had a mega Lap 30, making up two places past Sainz into Turn Two and past Gasly for fifth, whilst also setting the fastest lap of the race at the time. Hamilton sat eight seconds behind theoretical race leader Norris. Whilst Hamilton made his way past Gasly easily, Sainz was struggling to get past the Scuderia AlphaTauri Honda who had created a DRS train. Behind them Ricciardo and Verstappen overtook Stroll, who was the first to pit very early on and was now struggling on his tyres by Lap 32.

At the back Mick Schumacher became the first retirement of the grand prix on Lap 34 with a technical issue, the German had been running last all race.

Gasly finally released those behind on the same lap as the Frenchman finally made his stop, Sainz now led the DRS train which was seriously hurting Verstappen two places behind. The other Ferrari of Leclerc who was still yet to pit was overtaken by Norris on the inside of Turn Four on Lap 35, Norris of course had much faster tyres.

The British driver was being hunted down quickly by a determined Hamilton, the gap was down to five seconds as Hamilton overtook Leclerc with ease a lap later. Leclerc finally pitted on Lap 36, with Pérez and Alonso who were first and second but yet to stop, making their way into their boxes on Lap 37. Pérez had a shocking stop, coming out behind Ricciardo in fifth but ahead of Verstappen.

So Norris on Lap 38 was back in the lead, with Hamilton in second now just two seconds behind and flying. Behind the leaders Alonso overtook Verstappen for sixth, the Alpine F1 Team car on fresh tyres unlike the Dutchman. Back at the front Norris began to respond to the flying Mercedes, setting the fastest lap of the race on Lap 40, with a threat of rain being reported on the Ferrari team radio. Whilst one McLaren was leading, the other was defending fourth place brilliantly from Pérez, whilst Sainz sat in a lonely third.

Further down the field at the bottom of the points Leclerc was showing strong late pace, quickly passing Esteban Ocon then Russell for ninth on Lap 42. Whilst this was going on the clouds overhead grew darker and drew closer, all team were now reporting a threat of rain in the closing laps in what was already a brilliant grand prix. Bottas at the time was stuck in a DRS train in fourteenth .

Back with the leading pair and by Lap 45 the gap was down to just over a second, Norris was superior in the final sector managing to keep Hamilton just outside of DRS range. At the same time Pérez finally found his way past Ricciardo for fourth at Turn fourteen and Leclerc passed Stroll for eighth.

Lap 46 and what all the teams had feared began to come true, as the fans umbrellas went up and ponchos went on as the heavens opened with seven laps to go. Sainz straight away told his team to get the Intermediates ready as everyone's hearts were in their mouths. The rain flags were flown instantly as the rain was visibly heavy around Turns Four and Five, the rest was dry! Norris went off the circuit on Lap 47 at Turn Five and at Turn Six on Lap 48 as drivers all began to struggle, with some pitting for Intermediates.

The drama continued on Lap 48 as the Aston Martins collided at Turn 10, whilst almost the entire field pitted including Hamilton on Lap 49 for Intermediates but not Norris! Hamilton complained it was the wrong call but Mercedes told him that more rain was coming. Stroll and Gasly then collided with the AlphaTauri spinning round, followed by Stroll who went into the barrier, both continued.

McLaren and Norris had no choice but to stick with the slick but it was quickly becoming the wrong call, as Mercedes prediction came true on Lap 51/53 as the rain completely poured. Norris slid off at Turn Five as the track went from dry to almost fully wet in the space of a lap. Norris who had driven unbelievably all race had simply made the wrong call as Hamilton took the lead.

Leclerc was another who had failed to pit and suffered a similar fate to Norris. By the time Norris did stop he came out in eighth place, in a horrible stroke of bad luck. Amazingly it all meant that Verstappen after starting last was in second on the final lap, with Sainz in third in horrendous conditions.

But as the final lap fell in what was possibly the race of the year, Hamilton claimed victory number One-Hundred at last to win the Russian Grand Prix, fifty-two seconds ahead of second place Verstappen with Sainz rounding off the top three. It means Hamilton regains the championship lead by a tiny two points going into the Turkish Grand Prix.

Behind the top three, Ricciardo was fourth with Bottas somehow ending up in fifth, Alonso was sixth with Norris in a heartbreaking seventh but with the fasted lap and being awarded driver of the day, in what is some form of consolidation. The points were rounded off by ,Räikkönen, Pérez and Russell. Eleventh and twelfth was taken by Stroll and Vettel despite the Aston Martin's hectic last few laps. Gasly was thirteenth ahead of Ocon, Leclerc, Antonio Giovinazzi, Yuki Tsunoda, Mazepin and Nicholas Latifi who was the final finisher.

The FIA Formula One World Championship now has a much needed week off, before returning for the Turkish Grand Prix at Istanbul, where Mercedes will be hoping to further extend their thirty-three point lead over Red Bull in the constructors standings.
