After three years, forty races and tens of thousands of photographs, my time as a full time MotoGP photographer came to an end when the chequered flag dropped at Valencia in 2016. Actually, it would be a couple of hours later…

I had been looking forward to going to Silverstone, but not because it’s a great track to photograph. I was looking forward to it as I was able to pack everything into my own car, catch a ferry to Liverpool and drive down. No airport hassles, no hire cars, and no language barriers.
