In the middle of the biggest weekend of Motorsport, we had a Catalan Grand Prix in MotoGP to take care of, and with it, we had an erratic weekend from race winner Pecco Bagnaia, who crashed out embarassingly from the lead in the final lap of the Sprint, only to come back and take control of the Grand Prix. Find out how he bullied Jorge Martin into second on the show.
There's also more Marc Marquez talk, as he had to make two more ...

Welcome to an extended edition of Motorsport101, because quite frankly, we didn't think Monaco was worth a full episode of the show, but it made for a fine Keepin' It 101 opening segment. So if you want to skip to the Indy 500, fast forward to 19:20.
In that opening segment, we praise Charles Leclerc for winning the Monaco Grand Prix in dominant fashion over Oscar Piastri and Carlos Sainz, while also casting an eye on a chaotic L...

Max Verstappen had to go hard to win his 59th GP of his career (Fun Fact: Every other member of Red Bull's history also has 59 combined), at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix last week, but he had to earn it after a spirited fight with Lando Norris for McLaren.
Max was going so easy on his tyres at the back end of the split, he lost a 7 second lead in the last 20 laps of the race, leading to Norris being in the DRS zone of Max right a...

On this episode of Motorsport101, the boys review a pretty interesting Sonsio Grand Prix, with Alex Palou finally returning to the winner's circle after racking up Top 10's like they were going out of fashion. He's had 22 of them in a row going back to his 2022 season. Of them, 18 are Top 5's.

It's amazing. We thought MotoGP was the regular series that had the most potential problems heading into 2024 and it's delivered new ownership, three classic races in a row, and a likeable new set of regulations. Who'd have thought?
Jorge Martin held his nerve in an incredibly intense French GP in front of 120,000 rabid home fans, as Marc Marquez took some revenge on Francesco Bagnaia after beating him with a stunning final lap di...

After 110 starts and over five years of plugging away at it, Lando Norris finally takes his first Grand Prix win on the Streets of Miami after McLaren brought a beefy new upgrade to the race that replaced almost the entire aerodynamic body of the car, and a bit of a fortunate Safety Car between Magnussen and Sargeant and yeah... man cashed in a big one!

So... safe to say a lot has changed in the last fortnight in the land oif two wheels.
We catch up to last week's BIG news - Liberty Media has bought 86% of Dorna Sports, MotoGP's Commercial rights holder for $4.2 billion. Now, assuming the deal beats the European Competition commission, what does it mean for both sports? Does MotoGP need new ownership? What DOES it need to take itself to the next level. The boys ponder the thought...
