Adam, David and a Sepang-based Neil get together to talk about the latest swing in the twilight stages of 2024 MotoGP, the furnace of Malaysia where the pressure was acute and the implications of another engaging episode of this year’s championship.
1After the serious flooding in Valencia, the final round of the MotoGP season is in some doubt. Neil is joined by Peter McLaren to discuss the ramifications of this week’s terrible events on the championship, and the likelihood a race taking place at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit in a fortnight’s time. Could there be an alternative circuit? Or an alternative date? What do the riders want to do? And how did the two title contenders fare when faced with the press?
On this week's Thailand Grand Prix Discussion show we talk about Pecco Bagnaia's performance and whether Sunday's win was up there with his best, and whether he can count on any support from his fellow Ducati men in the two races that remain. We also look at KTM and ask is it the bike or the riders that perform well in slippery conditions and a host of other topics are covered. We also preview Sepang to talk about the Maniac's return to MotoGP.

Is Toprak's WorldSBK title the most unexpected in the history of the series? Steve and Gordo look back at the final round of the 2024 campaign and Toprak Razgalioglu's confirmation as the Superbike World Champion for the second time.
The Turkish rider is now unquestionably the best rider on the grid but what makes him special? We grabbed Phil Marron and Kenan Sofuglu to talk about when they believed they could win the title and the mentality of Toprak. Kenan's insight is very interesting as he talks about positivity rather than aggression being the key to winning in motorcycle racing. Steve also reminds Gordo of what we expected from Toprak back in January when they went to the the Spanish venue for pre-season testing.
With Nicolo Bulega winning two races and Alvaro Bautista suffering another crash the future of Ducati is also a talking point. Who's the team leader for the red bikes in 2025? Alex Lowes' successful campaign is discussed as is the toughest season of Jonathan Rea's career.
The show wraps up with title talk in WorldSSP, WorldSSP300 and the WorldWCR series
The malaise from Motegi was carried away by the Phillip Island breeze for what was another enthralling chapter of 2024 MotoGP. A little bit more tension with just three rounds to go this season. Here are the talking points from Australia with a time-pressed Neil in the Media Centre and a sleep-deprived Adam and David trying their best!

After the closest finish in WorldSBK history, just 0.003s, the title fight between Toprak Razgatlioglu and Nicolo Bulega will go to the final round of the year. With 46 points seperating the duo Toprak needs to finish in third position on Saturday to clinch his second title.
The Turkish rider held a media debrief at the Jerez Circuit today and as ever Steve, Gordo and Ivo were on had to dissect the news. Toprak is relaxed and ready to win and you can hear what he had to say on today's pod. We are also joined by Kawasaki's Alex Lowes as he walks through the media centre. The Phillip Island racer talks about his highlights of the season.
Adam catches Neil, post evening-scoff in Cowes, Phillip Island, to talk about the news and comments from the first day of activity in Australia and Neil also has a chat with a special guest: Chris Vermeulen.

Adam and David disturb Neil in his downtown Tokyo malaise to chat the last ebbs of the Japanese Grand Prix and wade through the latest questions from listeners (some juicy ones as well)
Adam and David call Neil in Motegi to go over the news and talking points from a static Japanese Grand Prix where the numbers went up for one rider, mistakes carried a heavy cost and we saw one major celebration.
Neil is joined by a special guest for the first Paddock Notes show of the weekend: MotoGP commentator Matt Birt. As well as talking energy levels and early impressions of Japan, the pair addressed title race and gauged whether Jorge Martin really is a different championship animal this year. KTM's decision to go with Aki Ajo for their MotoGP project in future years, Marc Marquez's potential this weekend and Honda's huge Grand Prix were also topics for discussion.

Toprak Razgatlioglu made his return to WorldSBK, Alvaro Bautista returned to form and Andrea Iannone returned to winning ways at the Aragon Round of WorldSBK. It was an incredible weekend where everywhere you turned there was another storyline to follow.
Swinging pendulums, all sorts of ‘pressures’, fans and no-fans(?), perfection and perdition. Quite a bit then. Adam, David and Neil bring you the Paddock Pass Podcast’s take on round fifteen of 2024 MotoGP. Turn up the heat.

By far, the best. Please keep up the excellent work!
great podcast just need to release quicker after a gp i fly to work on a Wednesday and there is no recap yet
I love the show and subscribe to your patreon but this recording is over modulated to the point that it's difficult to listen to.
Couldn’t ask for a more comprehensive MotoGP pod
