Aleix Espargaro believes he has accomplished everything he set out to do at Aprilia and now aims to assist Honda in returning to MotoGP glory as a test rider. Espargaro played a crucial role at Aprilia since 2017, helping transform their RS-GP bike from a struggling competitor to a winner in multiple races. Despite Aprilia’s success this season, financial challenges made continuing his partnership difficult. Instead, Espargaro opted to join Honda’s expanded test team in 2025 alongside Stefan Bradl.

Fresh from a week of celebrating a declaration of freedom from British tyranny, it would seem only sporting that we also take time to acknowledge the kindnesses extended to us by our former lien holder. To the same country that brought us The Beatles, Monty Python and Barry Sheene, let’s raise a pint to the Triumph Engineering Co. LTD as we honor them for their contribution to the world of heavyweight four-stroke, twin-cylinder motorcycles which can be ridden both on and off of the road—and they did so decades before the industry coined the phrases “dual sport” and “adventure” for our dirt/street play bikes.

Cats of Kansas City

Now that we have all had our fill of grilled burgers and fireworks, let's look at some unsung Americans--cats. Did you know that there are nearly 100 million cats living in the United States? I'm not sure who counted all of them, but that's a lot of cats. Enough to sway an election were they given the right to vote (which, of course, they should be). Unfortunately, many of those cats don't have a place to call home. Here are six cats, all in the greater Kanas City area, who would love it if you might consider giving them a bed, a litter box, and a bowl full of kibble.

One of these six spectacular cats may be your next pet
