As we call time on 2022, bikesportnews.com would like to thank you for your continued support and wish you a happy Christmas and prosperous New Year.

We will be back after the festivities to bring you news across the championships on pre-season testing and imminent Dakar exploits but for now enjoy the peace and presents!

Special thanks go to our trusted band, Gordon Ritchie, Phil Wain and Derek Wilson on keyboards, alongside Tim Keeton, Graeme Brown, Jamie Morris and Vaclav Duska Jr providing the visual displays from behind the camera.

Merry Christmas, thanks again, and here’s to a sporty and successful 2023!
