Miserable Misano on the first day of activity at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix but still plenty of news floating around and cause for opinion. What are your thoughts on the Miller signing? The Yamaha V4? The Hungarian Grand Prix and the wet ashes of 2015?
Uh-oh. It’s another 2015 special! Valentino Rossi is in the news once again for comments on his relations with old foe Marc Marquez. Steve, David and Neil analyse the Italian’s comments and whether they’re entirely valid and if they could have any effect on this year’s title fight, considering Marc is currently fighting Rossi’s prodigy.
We also preview the upcoming Emilia Romagna Grand Prix and ask if the weather could once well play into Marquez’s hands. Will Bagnaia have an answer? And is there any chance of Pedro Acosta or Brad Binder getting on a par with the Ducatis? Plus we talk the Repsol-Honda split, Yamaha’s potential new direction and mention WorldSBK’s first trip to Cremona, which is also coming up this weekend.

The French Round of WorldSBK saw Toprak Razgatlioglu, Alvaro Bautista and Jonathan Rea all ruled out through injury. What lessons can be learned from Toprak's crash and what can we expect from upcoming rounds of WorldSBK.
On track there was a popular winner with Michael van der Mark putting his pains of multiple injuries behind him to win again before Nicolo Bulega enjoyed a perfect Sunday. Is the Italian actually a title threat for Toprak now? Steve, Gordo and Ivo debate the merits of a title battle while also looking at the improved fortunes of Honda and the rider market moves being made in the Superbike Paddock.

David and Neil avoid the pitlane and stay firmly on track to bring you their opinions and talking points from round thirteen of MotoGP and another twist in a narrowing 2024 championship tale.
Neil and David are joined by expert Spanish journalist Manuel Pecino for early impressions of the Gran Premio Di San Marino including further reaction to the Bagnaia-Marquez clash, Pramac Yamaha’s new signing, Dorna Sports’ whopping new agreement with the FIM, Trackhouse Aprilia’s new direction and predictions for this weekend….
The midweek show means answering Patreon questions, so David, Neil and Steve sink their teeth into the Alex Márquez vs Pecco Bagnaia crash, Aprilia's grip woes, the track conditions, Marc Márquez' winning emotions, and Jorge Martin's impressive race. Did Alex take out Pecco on purpose? Should Marc have been more excited? What happened to the Aprilias? And will Misano see a Ducati clean sweep?

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
Love this podcast, it’s the best motogp podcast out. Keep up the great work guys, more guests!
