American Joe Roberts led Moto2 World Championship practice Friday afternoon at Automotodrom Brno, in Czech Republic. Riding his OnlyFans American Racing Team Kalex on Pirelli control tires, Roberts lapped the 3.36-mile (5.40 km) road course in 1:59.032, topping the field of 30 riders and breaking Alex Marquez’s All-Time Lap Record of 2:01.463 from 2019.
Filip Salac was second-best with a time of 1:59.574 on his ELF Marc VDS Boscoscuro.
Manuel Gonzalez did a third-fastest 1:59.604 on his LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP Kalex.
Roberts leads home-hero Salac in rainy Moto2™ Brno Practice. The rain neutralised Practice after just a few laps on Friday afternoon, leading to a jumbled up order going into Saturday.
Moto3 may have been dry but the dark clouds rolled back into Brno and the rain came in buckets for Moto2™. This made it all the more critical to get lap times banked right at the start of the session. Leading the charge into Saturday and with the top 14 locked in for Q2, Joe Roberts (OnlyFans American Racing Team) hit the jackpot at the right time ahead of home-hero Filip Salac (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team).
The session originally started out dry and the charge out of pitlane was right on queue with the green flag dropping. Everyone had to get out and set their representative bankers as soon as possible. Whilst it was dry for most of the track, the rain really came down hard in the final sector. Eventually, Salac went back out on track but with three minutes to go, the session was red flagged as the rain intensified.
Roberts, Salac and Championship Manuel Gonzalez (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP) were the three at the head of the field as the rain came down. It wasn’t just one side of the American Racing garage that was happy though, with Marcos Ramirez (OnlyFans American Racing Team) snatching fourth.
Behind the top four, British GP winner Senna Agius (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP) was inside the top five but the big shock was in sixth. One of the last riders to improve was Mattia Pasini (Fantic Racing Redemption) and the 39-year-old veteran Italian, a wildcard for this weekend, finds himself sixth and in Q2. Aron Canet (Fantic Racing Lino Sonego), Jake Dixon (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team), Alonso Lopez (Sync SpeedRS Team) and his teammate Celestino Vietti complete the top ten.
Zonta Van Den Goorbergh (RW-Idrofoglia Racing GP), Jorge Navarro (KLINT Forward Factory Team) Izan Guevara (BLU CRU Pramac Yamaha Moto2) and Collin Veijer (Red Bull KTM Ajo) complete the top 14, Veijer directly into Q2 for the first time in Moto2™. Veijer just edged out teammate and Aragon GP winner Deniz Öncü, who goes into Q1 having finished 15th.
Alvaro Carpe led Moto3 World Championship practice Friday afternoon at Automotodrom Brno, in Czech Republic. Carpe used his Pirelli-shod Red Bull KTM Ajo to lap the 3.36-mile (5.40 km) track in 2:05.840, which led the field of 25 riders and broke Alex Rins’s All-Time Lap Record of 2:07.622 from 2013.
His teammate, Jose Antonio Rueda was second-best with a time of 2:05.997.
Maximo Quiles, piloting his CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team KTM, claimed the third and final spot on the front with a lap time of 2:06.174.
Carpe sets Brno pace as Piqueras misses Q2 cut. Red Bull KTM Ajo pick up a 1-2 on Friday in Czechia with their chief title rival heading for Q1.
Despite completing just four laps in FP1, Alvaro Carpe (Red Bull KTM Ajo) came to play on Friday afternoon at the Tissot Grand Prix of Czechia to front the Moto3 field with a 2:05.840. Teammate and championship leader Jose Antonio Rueda was P2, Maximo Quiles (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team) completed the top three, as a late Scott Ogden (CIP Green Power) lap pushed title-hunting Angel Piqueras (FRINSA – MT Helmets – MSI) into Q1.
It’s the first time this season the #36 has been in Q1 in 2025, and coupled with a crash in the damp conditions this morning, it was a far from ideal opening day for Piqueras in Brno. Rounding out the Moto3 top five were an impressive pair of rookies in the form of Guido Pini (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) and Valentin Perrone (Red Bull KTM Tech3), with Sachsenring winner David Muñoz (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) and Joel Kelso (LEVELUP-MTA) safely into Q2.
Taiyo Furusato (Honda Team Asia) joins Piqueras in Q1 on Saturday afternoon, and both will be expecting to progress. Can they? Find out at 12:50 local time.
Marc Marquez topped MotoGP World Championship Free Practice 1 Friday morning at Automotodrom Brno, in Czech Republic. Riding his Michelin-shod Lenovo Ducati Desmosedici GP25, the Championship Point Leader turned a lap of 1:54.606 around the 3.36-mile (5.40 km) track and led the 22-rider field.
Jack Miller was second-best with a 1:55.221 on his Prima Pramac Yamaha YZR-M1.
Francesco Bagnaia, M. Marquez’s teammate, was third with a lap of 1:55.259.
Marquez overcomes tech issues to top damp Brno FP1, Martin returns to action. The Championship leader dealt with his technical issues and despite only getting nine laps in, was able to knock on the door of the oldest MotoGP lap record.
Brno is back and there were plenty of stories to get through during FP1 of the Czech GP. It started off wet, finished with a flurry in the dry and brought some hot talking points along the way. Marc Marquez (Ducati Lenovo Team) was the rider to beat come the end whilst attention was also on Jorge Martin (Aprilia Racing), back in the saddle for the first time since April.
It was an eventful opening five minutes to the session as Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing) crashed at Turn 7 moments before Championship leader Marquez exited pitlane for the first time and instantly had a technical issue. He got his GP25 back to the garage visa the service road but it was far from the ideal start. Meanwhile, the #1 of Martin was getting himself dialled in on his return and acclimatising to the conditions. With 25 minutes remaining, slick tyres were donned for the first time by none other than Jack Miller (Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP) and he went top on them after a few laps, signalling the change was worth it.
Conditions improved right the way through the session and it was a case of who crossed the line last would get the best track conditions. Augusto Fernandez (Yamaha Factory Racing Team) was the first under the two-minute barrier but with the sun out, top honours went to Marc on his final flying lap, denying Miller who ended in P2. The #93 may have only done nine laps but he needed no time to get up to speed, already nearly under the lap record. His teammate, Francesco Bagnaia, clinched third and lapped on-track with Marc in the closing stages, whilst Alex Marquez (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) came up the order on his last flying lap to secure P4. On his comeback weekend, Enea Bastianini (Red Bull KTM Tech 3) took fifth.
There was another KTM in sixth with Pedro Acosta’s (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) first-ever session at Brno capped off solidly. Despite his earlier fall, ‘Bez’ took seventh place ahead of top Honda Luca Marini (Honda HRC Castrol), with Alex Rins (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) and Takaaki Nakagami (IDEMITSU Honda LCR) completing the top ten. Jorge Martin’s return saw him in 17th place, negotiating a tricky first session and hoping for better conditions in the afternoon. With just under 12 minutes to go in the session, Ai Ogura (Trackhouse MotoGP Team) had a big crash on the approach to Turn 3, the rear coming round on the entry to the corner. He was able to get back up and walk away, the bike less so; he was 22nd on the timesheets.
Tony Arbolino was fastest during Moto2 World Championship Free Practice 1 Friday morning at Automotodrom Brno, in Czech Republic. Riding his BLU CRU Pramac Yamaha Boscoscuro on Pirelli control tires, the Italian covered the 3.36-mile (5.40 km) road course in 2:11.078, topping the field of 30 riders.
His teammate, Izan Guevara was the best of the rest with a 2:11.508.
Daniel Holgado was third-fastest with a 2:11.849 on his CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team Kalex.
American Joe Roberts finished the opening session in 13th with a 2:12.746 on his OnlyFans American Racing Team Kalex.
David Almansa was quickest during Moto3 World Championship Free Practice 1 Friday morning at Automotodrom Brno, in Czech Republic. Riding his Leopard Racing Honda on Pirelli control tires, the Spaniard covered the 3.36-mile (5.40 km) road course in 2:13.933, topping the field of 25 riders.
His teammate, Adrian Fernandez was the best of the rest with a 2:14.048.
Cormac Buchanan was third with a lap time of 2:14.511 on his DENSSI Racing – BOE KTM.
American Julian Correa Has A Wild-Card Entry In This Weekend’s ESBK SuperSport 300 Championship Event at Navarra, Spain. Afterwards, He’ll Return To British Talent Cup and MotoAmerica Talent Cup Competition.
Get ready for some thrilling news! Our very own Julian is about to embark on an incredible new adventure, heading to Spain to compete in the ESBK SuperSport 300 Championship!
The story kicked off after the recent ESBK race weekend at Aragon. Arnau Pons, the owner of Pons Motorsport Italika Racing Team, reached out to Dani Valle, Co-Owner of Riders Formation (a top development program in Tarragona, Spain). Arnau was looking for a rider to step in for Martim Garcia, who’s now focusing on the Portuguese Championship.
Dani Valle knew exactly who to recommend: Julian! It wasn’t just Julian’s raw talent that came to mind, but also the incredible opportunity this would provide for him to experience a new racing environment, expand his learning, and continue his progression.
With the full backing of his parents, the guidance of his mental coach Mike Torres, and the enthusiastic approval from Mortimer Racing (British Talent Cup) team owner Richard Mortimer, Julian jumped at the chance! He’s incredibly excited to learn and gain invaluable experience racing in Spain.
Now, this isn’t Julian’s first rodeo in a Spanish Championship. He’s previously competed in two JuniorGP European Talent Cup races. However, those experiences were on less-than-ideal machinery (British Talent Cup bikes) and without the dedicated support of a JuniorGP ETC team.This meant he didn’t quite get the full experience or the crucial lessons that come with racing against the world’s best.
But this time, it’s different! This amazing opportunity places Julian on the current team that’s leading the SS300 championship!Even better, he’ll be guided by his new teammate, Dani Ocete, who is also leading the championship! Talk about an incredible learning environment!
Julian is absolutely thrilled about this wild card entry, exclaiming, “This door was kicked wide open by Dani, and I am so grateful he picked me to step up. Although not racing a GP bike, it is still racing, and here in Spain is where the fastest in the world race. The expectation is to always be at the front battling for the win. This team has the potential to provide me a machine to do so, and I am confident we can make some magic this coming weekend!”
Don’t miss a second of the action! Be sure to watch the ESBK races live this weekend, July 19th and 20th, to see how Julian stacks up in this exciting championship!
Julian has a busy schedule ahead:
· ESBK SS300 Navara Spain – July 18th thru 20th
· British Talent Cup – Brands Hatch July 25th thru 27th
· MotoAmerica – Talent Cup – Virginia Raceway Aug 1st thru Aug 3rd
· British Talent Cup – Thruxton Circuit Aug 8th thru Aug 10th
Last weekend, three-time 500cc GP World Champion, two-time AMA Superbike Champion, and MotoAmerica President Wayne Rainey did his first laps around Laguna Seca since 1991 on a specially modified Yamaha XSR900 GP. Joining him on the ride around WeatherTech Raceway were several legends of American motorcycle racing, including Kenny Roberts, Freddie Spencer, Eddie Lawson, Bubba Shobert, Kenny Roberts Jr., Rick Johnson, Doug Chandler, Ben Spies, and Kel Carruthers.
Jorge Martin will remain with Aprilia for the 2026 MotoGP season, continuing his journey with the Italian manufacturer.
Reigning MotoGP World Champion Jorge Martin is set to make his return to competition this weekend at the Brno Grand Prix. Speaking at Thursday’s official press conference, Martin confirmed his comeback and addressed the challenges he has faced throughout a difficult 2025 season.
Cleared as fit to race, Martin expressed his determination to turn the page and refocus on the remainder of the championship. With renewed motivation and confidence, he now looks ahead to a strong performance as he gets back on track.
Jorge Martin:“I’m really happy to be here again. It was a really difficult 6 or 7 months suffering a lot with a lot of injuries but I’m happy to be here and to be back in MotoGP.
“Finally, I’m happy to say that I’ll continue with Aprilia for 2026. It wasn’t an easy road this year, but they believed in me through it all. Now that my future is clear, I can fully focus on getting back to the top.”
Key market, unique circuit, incredible fanbase: MotoGP inks five more years at the Sachsenring.
MotoGP will race in Germany until 2031. A new five-year agreement confirms the iconic Sachsenring will remain on the calendar, ready to continue setting records as the single biggest sporting event in Germany – with attendance surpassing 250,000 fans.
As MotoGP continues its ascent, the championship has ambitious targets for growth in both new and more established markets. The biggest economy in Europe is an important stage for the most exciting sport on Earth and all its stakeholders.
Michael Kretschmer, Prime Minister of Saxony: “Saxony is motor racing country. We support the Sachsenring because we want to support the Southwest Saxony region, and because we love motorsport. It is fantastic to hear the news that we will be able to watch the German Grand Prix at the Sachsenring until at least 2031. We have a long history of motor racing in this region. In 2027, we will celebrate our 100-year anniversary at the Sachsenring. The new record attendance at the weekend showed once again how much we love motor racing in Saxony. It also reveals that the allure of this important race and the Sachsenring reaches far beyond Saxony. I would like to thank everyone involved in securing the future of the Motorcycle Grand Prix here in the Free State of Saxony, helping to drive and strengthen motor racing in Germany as a whole.”
Dr. Gerd Ennser, ADAC Sport President: “MotoGP at the Sachsenring is the most significant national motor racing event, attracting more than a quarter of a million fans. We aim to continue this success story and have reached early agreement with MotoGP to ensure that the Grand Prix will take place at the Sachsenring in the long term. The event is enormously popular throughout the region. We will be able to continue to stage the Grand Prix in Saxony thanks to the excellent cooperation with Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer and the state government of Saxony.”
Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of MotoGP rights holder Dorna Sports: “We’re delighted to announce we’ll be racing in Germany until 2031. It’s an important market for MotoGP and a fantastic event for the quarter of a million fans who join us at the Sachsenring to break records year-on-year. We’re looking forward to setting more benchmarks together with the promoter, the ADAC, and want to thank them and the Government of Saxony for their commitment to MotoGP. We must also thank the fans for making it such an incredible event.”

With sharper power delivery, refined suspension, and advanced electronics, it’s built to give riders the edge they need to win.”
“These updates will help all riders to make the most of the available torque, improving the feel, acceleration and response, so it is even more competitive. The new Exedy clutch and enhanced engine calibration will be compelling reasons for fans to try the Triumph ready for the upcoming season.”
MY26 TF 250-X
Engineered to dominate
The high-performance four stroke single-cylinder engine delivers 47.3 HP (48 PS) peak power at 13,500 rpm, which, paired with a unique ultra compact and super light aluminum chassis gives the TF 250-X the all-important class-leading power-to-weight ratio.
Triumph’s performance racing powertrain has earned its stripes on the track. With a forged aluminum König piston and Del West titanium valves, the engine also has diamond-like carbon low friction coatings and lightweight magnesium covers, plus DLC- coated internals for explosive power and durability. A mass-optimized layout and Dell’Orto 1.73” (44mm) throttle body ensure razor-sharp throttle response, while the Athena ECU with GET Power Assist delivers advanced traction and launch control.
Advanced engine management and tunability is complemented by the optional accessory MX Tune Pro app, enabling riders to use real-time user selectable mapping, a real-time engine sensor dashboard and live diagnostic functionality, through a controlled programmable engine management system.
The Exedy clutch and 5-speed gearbox with Brembo hydraulics provide smooth, precise shifting, and the quickshifter enables clutch-less upshifts from 2nd to 5th gear.
MY26 TF 250-X
Race-ready suspension
The unique aluminum chassis has a high strength, lightweight spine frame with twin cradles, designed for the optimum balance of performance, mass and flexibility. Paired with a hydroformed swingarm, the chassis is designed for optimal flex and rear grip.
The race-developed linkage system which ensures consistent suspension performance, has been tuned to deliver improved mid-stroke control, better chassis balance and enhanced cornering stability. This high-performance setup is completed by KYB 1.89″ (48mm) AOS coil forks, forged and machined 7075-T6 aluminum triple clamps and a three-way piggyback coil rear shock.
Top Tier Specification
The TF 250-X is equipped with premium, race-proven components throughout, delivering a specification straight out of the crate that is unmatched in a production motocross bike.
At the heart of its stopping power is a high-performance Brembo braking system, featuring twin .94” (24mm) piston floating front calipers and a single 1.02” (26mm) piston floating rear caliper. With a 10.24” (260mm) Galfer wave disc at the front and 8.66”(220mm) disc at the rear, the system delivers precise, controlled braking in all conditions.

American Julian Correa Has A Wild-Card Entry In This Weekend’s ESBK SuperSport 300 Championship Event at Navarra, Spain. Afterwards, He’ll Return To British Talent Cup and MotoAmerica Talent Cup Competition.
Get ready for some thrilling news! Our very own Julian is about to embark on an incredible new adventure, heading to Spain to compete in the ESBK SuperSport 300 Championship!
The story kicked off after the recent ESBK race weekend at Aragon. Arnau Pons, the owner of Pons Motorsport Italika Racing Team, reached out to Dani Valle, Co-Owner of Riders Formation (a top development program in Tarragona, Spain). Arnau was looking for a rider to step in for Martim Garcia, who’s now focusing on the Portuguese Championship.
Dani Valle knew exactly who to recommend: Julian! It wasn’t just Julian’s raw talent that came to mind, but also the incredible opportunity this would provide for him to experience a new racing environment, expand his learning, and continue his progression.
With the full backing of his parents, the guidance of his mental coach Mike Torres, and the enthusiastic approval from Mortimer Racing (British Talent Cup) team owner Richard Mortimer, Julian jumped at the chance! He’s incredibly excited to learn and gain invaluable experience racing in Spain.
Now, this isn’t Julian’s first rodeo in a Spanish Championship. He’s previously competed in two JuniorGP European Talent Cup races. However, those experiences were on less-than-ideal machinery (British Talent Cup bikes) and without the dedicated support of a JuniorGP ETC team.This meant he didn’t quite get the full experience or the crucial lessons that come with racing against the world’s best.
But this time, it’s different! This amazing opportunity places Julian on the current team that’s leading the SS300 championship!Even better, he’ll be guided by his new teammate, Dani Ocete, who is also leading the championship! Talk about an incredible learning environment!
Julian is absolutely thrilled about this wild card entry, exclaiming, “This door was kicked wide open by Dani, and I am so grateful he picked me to step up. Although not racing a GP bike, it is still racing, and here in Spain is where the fastest in the world race. The expectation is to always be at the front battling for the win. This team has the potential to provide me a machine to do so, and I am confident we can make some magic this coming weekend!”
Don’t miss a second of the action! Be sure to watch the ESBK races live this weekend, July 19th and 20th, to see how Julian stacks up in this exciting championship!
Julian has a busy schedule ahead:
· ESBK SS300 Navara Spain – July 18th thru 20th
· British Talent Cup – Brands Hatch July 25th thru 27th
· MotoAmerica – Talent Cup – Virginia Raceway Aug 1st thru Aug 3rd
· British Talent Cup – Thruxton Circuit Aug 8th thru Aug 10th

As MotoGP continues its ascent, the championship has ambitious targets for growth in both new and more established markets. The biggest economy in Europe is an important stage for the most exciting sport on Earth and all its stakeholders.
Michael Kretschmer, Prime Minister of Saxony: “Saxony is motor racing country. We support the Sachsenring because we want to support the Southwest Saxony region, and because we love motorsport. It is fantastic to hear the news that we will be able to watch the German Grand Prix at the Sachsenring until at least 2031. We have a long history of motor racing in this region. In 2027, we will celebrate our 100-year anniversary at the Sachsenring. The new record attendance at the weekend showed once again how much we love motor racing in Saxony. It also reveals that the allure of this important race and the Sachsenring reaches far beyond Saxony. I would like to thank everyone involved in securing the future of the Motorcycle Grand Prix here in the Free State of Saxony, helping to drive and strengthen motor racing in Germany as a whole.”
Dr. Gerd Ennser, ADAC Sport President: “MotoGP at the Sachsenring is the most significant national motor racing event, attracting more than a quarter of a million fans. We aim to continue this success story and have reached early agreement with MotoGP to ensure that the Grand Prix will take place at the Sachsenring in the long term. The event is enormously popular throughout the region. We will be able to continue to stage the Grand Prix in Saxony thanks to the excellent cooperation with Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer and the state government of Saxony.”
Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of MotoGP rights holder Dorna Sports: “We’re delighted to announce we’ll be racing in Germany until 2031. It’s an important market for MotoGP and a fantastic event for the quarter of a million fans who join us at the Sachsenring to break records year-on-year. We’re looking forward to setting more benchmarks together with the promoter, the ADAC, and want to thank them and the Government of Saxony for their commitment to MotoGP. We must also thank the fans for making it such an incredible event.”

With a focus on performance, durability, and rider experience, the updated TF 250-X delivers sharper power, faster launches, and race-honed control.
Built to push harder and win bigger, the updates include an all-new airbox and silencer to maximise airflow, with enhanced engine mapping to deliver improved power delivery and throttle response, plus updated suspension tuning and a new Exedy clutch.
Engineered to meet the new FIM and AMA race sound regulations, the all-new airbox and silencer have been designed to deliver both performance and noise requirements, whilst maintaining Triumph’s signature engine note. Combined with the new engine calibration, the TF 250-X will deliver a superior race-day performance.
The enhanced ECU mapping enhances power delivery and throttle response across the entire RPM range, enabling quicker launches and sharper corner exits, while the new high-performance Exedy clutch delivers more direct engagement, enhanced durability under extreme conditions, and significantly increased torque capacity. Updated suspension tuning also provides improved mid-stroke control, better chassis balance, and enhanced cornering stability.

The TF 250-X set a new benchmark in the 250cc category with its class-leading power-to-weight ratio, factory-level KYB suspension, and advanced rider-focused electronics.
MY26 TF 250-X
Triumph Motorcycles’ Chief Product Officer, Steve Sargent, said: “The TF 250-X has already made a huge impact in the motocross world, delivering podium-finish performances in the 2025 AMA Supercross Championship, as well as the MX2 class in MXGP.

MY26 TF 250-X
Engineered to dominate
The high-performance four stroke single-cylinder engine delivers 47.3 HP (48 PS) peak power at 13,500 rpm, which, paired with a unique ultra compact and super light aluminum chassis gives the TF 250-X the all-important class-leading power-to-weight ratio.
Triumph’s performance racing powertrain has earned its stripes on the track. With a forged aluminum König piston and Del West titanium valves, the engine also has diamond-like carbon low friction coatings and lightweight magnesium covers, plus DLC- coated internals for explosive power and durability. A mass-optimized layout and Dell’Orto 1.73” (44mm) throttle body ensure razor-sharp throttle response, while the Athena ECU with GET Power Assist delivers advanced traction and launch control.
Advanced engine management and tunability is complemented by the optional accessory MX Tune Pro app, enabling riders to use real-time user selectable mapping, a real-time engine sensor dashboard and live diagnostic functionality, through a controlled programmable engine management system.
The Exedy clutch and 5-speed gearbox with Brembo hydraulics provide smooth, precise shifting, and the quickshifter enables clutch-less upshifts from 2nd to 5th gear.

Race-ready suspension
The unique aluminum chassis has a high strength, lightweight spine frame with twin cradles, designed for the optimum balance of performance, mass and flexibility. Paired with a hydroformed swingarm, the chassis is designed for optimal flex and rear grip.
The race-developed linkage system which ensures consistent suspension performance, has been tuned to deliver improved mid-stroke control, better chassis balance and enhanced cornering stability. This high-performance setup is completed by KYB 1.89″ (48mm) AOS coil forks, forged and machined 7075-T6 aluminum triple clamps and a three-way piggyback coil rear shock.
Top Tier Specification
The TF 250-X is equipped with premium, race-proven components throughout, delivering a specification straight out of the crate that is unmatched in a production motocross bike.
At the heart of its stopping power is a high-performance Brembo braking system, featuring twin .94” (24mm) piston floating front calipers and a single 1.02” (26mm) piston floating rear caliper. With a 10.24” (260mm) Galfer wave disc at the front and 8.66”(220mm) disc at the rear, the system delivers precise, controlled braking in all conditions.

April 3, 2026
Compliance status
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience,
regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level.
These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible
to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific
disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML,
adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Screen-reader and keyboard navigation
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with
screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive
a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements,
alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website.
In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels;
descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups),
and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag
for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology.
To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on
as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
Disability profiles supported in our website
Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments

Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over seven different coloring options.
Animations – person with epilepsy can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.
Browser and assistive technology compatibility
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Notes, comments, and feedback
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
