Here at Fast Bikes, we’re always on lookout for cool things to do on two wheels. So how does three days of spanking 600s around the only licensed track in Greece alongside star instructors sound for some time away? Pretty damn good in our books…

Ten Minutes with Mark Higgins
Mark Higgins is a Manxman who has broken lap records at the TT. Unlike most, however, Mark gets to compete on four wheels – but that doesn’t make his feats any less impressive. 128.730mph in his specially built 600bhp Prodrive Subaru was a staggering achievement – and he reckons there’s still more to come from it…

Hello there, have you FB’ers had a good month? Up, down, then up again here for me, but at least it’s not been boring! If I remember right I checked in with you after Qatar, where we sealed second place in the championship. Almost immediately afterwards we were zoomed off back to Italy though, because the EICMA show was on and Ducati had a bunch of special kit to show off.

Unless you’ve been an avid follower of BSB over the last two years then there is a very good chance that you won’t know who my brother or I am. That’s because we have only been road racing for three years. So allow me to introduce myself, I’m Tim and my identical twin brother is Tom.

Game changer; class leader; market beater; the buzzwords were out in force during the presentation of Michelin’s all-new Power RS, which the French brand claimed to be a ‘watershed moment’ in the evolution of sporty, road rubber.

Carl Stevens
So, after conceding we had no bike to race (and moaning as much as possible in true teenager fashion), we were given a last minute lifeline to appear at the first round of the MCE British Superbike Championship at Donington Park, riding the Total Plant Solutions Ducati Panigale 899 in the Ducati Tri-Options Cup. Keith ‘Bugsy’ Jaggard was the splendid chap who gave us the chance to get some more saddle time, after he upgraded (along with most of the field) to the new 959 Panigale. It meant I was really going to have to pull my finger out to get some good results.
