Sorry, this has been a little delayed, I've been dealing with a family bereavement, forgive me. - Dre
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.
His insane run of form ties in beau...

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...

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...
