Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hey, folks. So I've just come to edit this podcast,
and I've realized at the very start their sound is
weird and terrible. I don't know what happened. I can
only blame it dodgy internet connection. So bear with us.
It will only last a few minutes and then things
should return to some semblance of normality. Enjoy the show, Steve,

(00:28):
my good man. How the devil are you?

Speaker 2 (00:31):
I'm good, buddy, How are you?

Speaker 1 (00:34):
I'm very good, my friend. That was quite a protracted
can opening we had going on there. There was quite
a lot of hissing and not a lot of opening
to start the show.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
No, mine went a little bit early, but there we go.
That's the story of my life.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Yeah, and the story of my life is a lot
of hissing and not much opening. So we've really we've
got there between us, Steve, it's all good.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Yeah, we get there in the end, buddy.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Exactly exactly. How was it your weekend, my friend?

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Oh this one? Yeah, it's a good mixed bag. Wat's
the racing, a lot of family time. Mike broke down.
That's terrible. Yeah, that's an ideal, that's less than ideal.
So yeah, something else on the fixed list. But there
we are. That's what happens.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
You fixed list, ever grown fixed it?

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Yeah, add the van to that, add all sorts to that. Well,
but then what are you going to do?

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Quite mate, what are you going to do? That's that's life,
I guess annoyingly.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yeah, that certainly is. But how was your weekend?

Speaker 1 (01:53):
My weekend is good, mate. I we had that same
big costal booking come back I had. It wasn't actually
over the weekend. Was it Friday? Saturday? I had off?
I can't remember if it already feels like a long
time ago anyway, but yeah, I went out hiking, went
and we parked the car at bow Moral and then

(02:15):
hiked up into the hills From BOWMORL had to actually navigate,
which was exciting to go and find a bothy across
trackless moorland, but then found the bothy and because it
was so fucking hard to reach and there was no
trail to it, so he did actually have to use
a map and compass that when I when we got there,
it was just us. This beautiful bothy, really well looked after,

(02:40):
lovely and clean inside, a lovely river running just outside
the front of it, beautiful views, of the mountains and
stuff all around us, and I was raging all the
way there because my bag was so heavy. But when
we got there and I managed to dump out like
ten kilo of fire materials and a few cans of beer,

(03:03):
I felt like it was worth carrying it all across
them allland to get there.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah, yes, it definitely sounds like case that the effort
was worth a reward.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yes, absolutely, it's a bothy that I'm adding to the
list for a winter kind of a few nights there
over winter because it was up quite high. It was
like six seven hundred meters above sea level, so and
up in the Cairn Gorms. So it's one of those
If you got there in the winter, it would just
be snow and ice, and on a clear day it
would be beautiful. If the weather was bad, it would

(03:34):
be atrocious. The body was fine, The body would be
perfectly intact and would deal with that as long as
you had enough fire would to keep you going. We're
getting there wouldn't be fun, but as long as it
was clear, it would be amazing up there with all
the snow and stuff.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
No, yeah, very jealous men.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, so that was fun, I tell you what was
weird though Driving through a ski resort was strange with
there being no snow on the slopes, so we had
to drive up and over kind of one of Scotland
ski resorts so you could see. Yeah, so it was odd,
Like the mountain side all covered in like purple heather
and there's just like this derelict what looks derelicts, but
it is not. Every time it snows, obviously they'll get

(04:11):
it up and run in. But the ski lifts are
there and like the ski cafes and stuff are all there,
so everything's there ready for the ski season, but there's
just no snow and like the slope is still marked
out so you can see the route, but because it's
the heather, it's just like over really bumpy, rough terrain,
Like you cannot imagine there being enough snow up there
to ski on, but clearly there is.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Yeah, there has to be, otherwise I wouldn't be there.
But no, that sounds very exactly, very Yeah. I might
have to come and check out somebody's bothies in the
middle of nowhere.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Oh mate, they're amazing. At some point, Steve, we'll find
ourselves up in Scotland in the Highlands and we'll we'll
do a bothy trip at some point. Gets well worth.
The hikes to get to them are amazing.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
Oh hell yeah, some more game for that. Hiding away
in the middle of nowhere at the minute sounds fantastic.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Yeah, quite. And there was no signal up there either,
so that was nice. So it kind of got there
realized there was no signal, so the phone was off
in the bottom up bag and I didn't have to
worry about it. So that was nice.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
That sounds like a fabulous time. I'll see you next.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Week, Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
So yes, well, I'm glad you had a good week
at Man.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Yeah, it was nice that obviously for everyone listening, we
are actually a day late recording, so apologies for that. Yeah,
that was my span breaking down.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yes, yeah, I spent nine hours in the lay by
waiting for recovery. That was fun. Yesterday the Misery book.
I did very nearly finish my book. I should really
get it out of the van and finish it. Yeah,
that kept me in Aton, but yeah, not what I expected.
Driving to work and suddenly yeah no power. Oh dear,
this is not good.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
No, that's frustrating, Like you were in a lay by
long enough that you'd broken down on your way to work,
and then when we came to record in the evening,
you still weren't home and ready to record. That's how
long you spent in that lay by, an entire work
plus the evening.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Oh literally, yeah, one of the lads from work had
to stop and help me push the van out of
the road into this leave by. He then di speared
to work and as I was getting recovered by the
rac in the afternoon or even if, he then drove
past and was waving at me as he was going home. Wow,
I'm still sat here waiting.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
Yeah, so that's a ya, a frustrating way to spend
your day.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
That was hell, mate, That just sort of polished off
the misery of the weekend. But there we go, these
things coming bunches exactly.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
So hopefully that's all the bad ship out of the
way for a while and then you can just crack
on for now, I.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Hope in one of those boffies just living.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Step the hermit.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yeah literally, I'm here fishing in the river. This is it?

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Leave me alone? Yeah, I'd have to track up to
wherever you are once a week to record him person
and then trek back to edit the show and find
Wi Fi.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
That's it. That's how we get a roll of No. One.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Right, well, Steve, before you disappear off into the wilderness,
dive into this show. What's happening?

Speaker 2 (07:16):
I can go?

Speaker 1 (07:16):
Now you go, bag ready.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
They have to get the hell out of here, bag.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Right well, before you do, Steve, I'm Tim. He's Steve.
And this is for the love of Moto GP. If
you are new to the show, welcome. If you are returning,

(07:44):
welcome back. This is for the love of Moto GP.
The show where Steve and I sit down with a
couple of beers and talk about Moto GP like we
would in the pub. We have a tangenty catch up
at the start of the very show. So that's all good.
Steebe is on the Fosters this week. I'm on the
Impossive brew again this week. Stay, So I'm actually on

(08:05):
the alcohol free stuff, but why not. Yeah, I'm already
my second canon as well, So I'd like to say
I'm getting a bit squiffy, but it's alcohol three, so
I'm not.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
I just feel it that placebo effect.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah, well, this one's got some weird thing in it.
The pro pix and stuff in. So it's supposed to
make you feel something after a couple of cans, which
I think is true. But I don't know if it's
just a placebo.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yeah, I don't know. You'll have to let me know.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
Yeah, either way, I do. I enjoy it. It's nice.
And because we're recording a day late, I'm all thrown
out of sync and I've got gaup early for a
run tomorrow morning, so I need to not drink tonight. No,
that's all good, to be honest, mate. Yesterday, when we
should have been recording, I'd actually got up at four
so I could go out for a long run that
morning anyway. So I was by the evening feeling pretty trashed.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
No, one didn't protest too much.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Yeah, exactly, you said it. I was like, actually would
work for me. I could do it an early night.
And then what happened Steve fucking England game went into
extra time and I was up late anyway, so that
was annoying.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
Yeah, we stayed up to watch that. But there we
go finals, Sunday.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
Finals on Sunday exactly while I'm still on shift. Annoyingly,
But I'll just maybe just shut the office and sit
in the living room and watch it in my computer.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yeah, you'd be fine.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Yeah, we are right. I can see the driveway from
the living room anyway, so it's no biggie. But Steve,
before we dive into this show properly, we need a
new jingle because I've got a correction corner here, but
it's not really a correction corner. It's sort of an
added info section. But we don't have an added info jingle.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
So I have to get in touch with mister Greenwood again.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
We might have to get in touch with Andrew Greenwood exactly,
the lovely human being that has done on our music
and jingles for us so far. So if you are listening, Andrew,
and you're looking for, you know, a half our project,
then we could do with a new jingle for what
would we even call it?

Speaker 2 (10:06):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (10:08):
I want to just say added info, but that sounds boring,
doesn't It.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Does say correction corner. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
I don't know information alleyway. Maybe we'll have to work
on that, Andrew. If you are listening, if you're assuming
you still listen at this point, who knows.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
Hopefully it does, fingers crossed, he does.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Exactly but we'll come up with a good name for it,
but until we do, it's just going to be a
correction corner.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Yes, exactly, good stuff.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
So anyway, Steve, you know what that means?

Speaker 2 (10:42):
I do, buddy, cue that jingle correction corner.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
So, as mentioned, this week's correction corner is more of
just added information alleyway until I find something better. That's
what I'm going with. And this one comes from the
Lovely Mark with a K Resident podcast listening Marshall at

(11:09):
Bike Racing. So in Marshall Mark exactly, Marshall Mark might
be better than Mark with a K, but I've kind
of rolled with that. Now Marshall Mark with a K
we'll call him. We'll slam the two together fair enough.
And this is in reference to some stuff we said
last week when we were talking about Bora Gomez and

(11:30):
the events that happened at the European Souper Stock Championship
over there, part of the Junior GP series, and Mark
had this to say, quote bits from this week's pod.
If what's being reported on the Borha Gomes number is correct,
that's less less marshals that at every club event usually, yes,

(11:53):
which is something that you and I Steve had commented
on we assumed that was going to be less than
a club race. Mark goes on to say, in terms
of light panels, So actually I said that I thought
the light panels are actually controlled by race direction. But
Mark says, in terms of light panels, the flag marshals
are responsible for activating the yellow panels or the surface flags,

(12:15):
which I assume is like the limited aedesion flag and
stuff that you see or like would wet flags. Yeah,
So it turns out, yeah, the marshals are actually responsible
for that and not race control like I thought. He
also says, and the io, the corner chief radios in
the details of any crashes, the bike number, number of fallers,

(12:35):
rider conditions, et cetera, to race control. Yeah, and then
he goes on to talk about the gravel traps. So
I said before that I thought the marshals had to
wait for race control to release them, to let them
go out into the gravel, which is what happens in
F one. But Mark says that's not right. Mark says,

(12:56):
that's for going out into the gravel traps. It's not
like F one. It's that the marshals discretion, no clearance,
some race control is required except in exceptional circumstances like
crossing the track, and then they would have to get permission.
Yeah exactly. So yeah, that's just some more wonderful insight
to a part of motor GP that I guess not

(13:18):
many of us know about and not many per ce
So it's really wonderful that we've got Mark in the
chat and the Facebook group. And actually there was I
can't remember the name, I'm really sorry, but there was
someone else chatting with them who also does marshaling, and
they were having quite an interesting conversation just about kind
of the buzz of marshaling, how fun it is, and
the events and what you get to see. You get
perspectives on everything. So yeah, it was really interesting. So

(13:41):
it's super cool to get this kind of insight from
people don't get.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
Very often, is it. We sit outside, we watched on
the telly and you see marshals right like doing the thing.
It's really where you get to speak to one, we'll
get the input from one, so it's really cool.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
Yeah exactly. I did see someone in the Facebook chat
asking whether we could get one of these marshals on
the show just for a brief chat about it. And
I don't know about you, Steve. I'm putting you on
the spot here because I'm doing it live on this
live and on the show, so I can't edit anything out.
If you're like, now, fuck that, I can know I
can give it all this. But I think that's quite

(14:19):
a good idea. I would be someone on the show
to have a chat with us just about what it's
like to be marshaling. So if Mark, if you're listening,
or again, I'm really sorry. I can't know who else
said they were a Marshall, but I think they were
in martaling it for the piland, then yeah, please do
get in touch and we'll we'd love to sort something
out to have a chat and just put out either

(14:41):
a section of a show or just a bonus show
just about what it's like to be at the track.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
That would be cool. It's always good to get other
people's perspective, especially someone who's sort of a bit closer
to the action gets involved than we do.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
And quite a unique perspective as well, because kind on
a lot of these other kind of big podcasts media
things you hear from riders, you hear from team bosses,
you hear from people within the FIM and with Dawn
a rule makers. You hear from the people who are,
you know, doing the media, and we've spoken to members
of the media on the podcast before over the years.
We spoke quite a few people during COVID and stuff

(15:14):
when everyone had free time, so that was super cool.
But yeah, I've never heard Marshall's talk, so that would
be really interesting, and.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
Yeah, that would be a good.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
If we can sort that out, then we'll we'll definitely
sort that out. And if we do come to sort
that out, then we'll let people know and if anyone's
got any questions they want to put to any marshals
and get in touch with us. But no pressure, no one.
No one has to come on the shof If they
don't want to, that's that's all cool, but get in
touch if you will be up for it.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Yeah cool, please do no, it sounds like a good show.
I'll be all going for that one.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
Excellent, right, Steve. With that, then let's move on to
the news, shall we. That's good stuff, So we'll do
the news, then we'll dive into the top five from
the races, and then we'll cover a few motorgiv talking
points we haven't even mentioned the fact that this is
a kind of Bruno race review. We were at Bruno.

(16:02):
That was exciting. But we will come on to that.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
We will get to that point.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
We will. But before we get there, Steve, we do
need to return to some sad news that has happened
in the motorcycle racing world recently.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yes, again this is too much, yeah quite.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
And this is another young rider has passed away. This
is Powe Alcina. He had a training accident at Aragon
and was moved to hospital where he passed away due
to his injuries on Monday morning. I think Powell was
racing in the Junior GP, Yes, I believe so, So yeah,
that's really sad news. This one did not take place

(16:45):
at kind of this weird Thursday test. This took place
a week early at Aragon and it was just a
training accident. I don't know what the story is with
Marshalls and stuff or whether, yeah, it wasn't an official
sanction event at all. This one is from what I understand,
so there's probably not the same problems that we were
having with the Bauhagomez incident. So yeah, there's there's just

(17:10):
we went through a spate of this a while ago
didn't we where we had a spate of young riders dying.
Man is his cousin one of them is that he's
vin I think I believe it was. So there was
aye a spate of it previously, and then it kind
of went away for a little while. Like there there
wasn't obviously there was all the same crashes, but they

(17:32):
just didn't have the same tragic rests.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
It does seem to go through like phases where riders
become fatally injured through crashes, and I don't know why,
but it does seem to be almost no time scale pattern,
but there does seem to be spits, whether it be
several of these tragedies all in one hit and absolutely

(17:58):
no idea why. But it's such a shame.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Yeah, yeah quite, And I wish, I wish that we
knew a way to prevent this from happening. But there's
it's a.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
High risk sport.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
It's fast, it isn't it it's a high risk sport,
and it's this isn't like car racing. You can't just
put a monocoque chassis or you know, a frame around
these guys like this is they're very.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
Very vulnerable, you know, as much protection as these protective
leather companies, helmets, gloves, boots give them, they're still human
beings in a leather suit wrapped in some carbon and
they're going at high speed. Yeah it's a massive Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yeah, it's just an absolute, another absolute tragedy. And as always,
our thoughts and prayers are with Pal's family, this family
and friends at this really tough time. And I also
want to say here, I know we keep mentioning these deaths,
and to some people this may seem in bad taste,
but I think we need to talk about them. This

(19:01):
is part of the sport. This is a really true
part of the sport, and if we don't talk about them,
I feel like we're doing a disservice to the riders themselves,
to their memories. And maybe not by ignoring it, we'd
probably be part of this problem that there's nothing being
done to try and solve the issue. I think we

(19:24):
do have to talk about it. It's never easy to
do and yeah, to just ignore it, I just don't
think is the right way to do it. So, yeah,
sorry to bring it. They show on a bit of
a downer, but you know, if you're feeling a bit down,
about this. Imagine how the friends and family these riders
are feeling right now.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
So yeah, exactly, I thought to prayers going to the
friends and family, and I think sometimes it is necessary
to talk about these things, especially pay respects to young
people that have risked their lives for the sport they
love and our entertainment.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
And yeah, which is what it is at the end
of the day. And if there weren't people watching, they
wouldn't be doing it.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
No, exactly. And if these tragedies do unfold by circumstance
that needs to be resolved and addressed, then only talking
about it and discussing it will resolve these circumstances that
bring these things about. Yeah, so yeah, thoughts and prayers
of with this family first and.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
Foremost absolutely Okay, stee from there, let's bring it back
to motor GP news and let's try and bring the
mood up slightly, because I also think that is a
really important thing to do with these people in these
writers' memories, is to we can dwell on it. But

(20:42):
at the same time, these are guys that were doing
something they loved and I don't think the majority of
them would want us to dwell on it. I know
that's that feels a bit like a road racing argument.
And the reason I don't watch road racing is because
there's so many instants all the time. But everyone involved
in road racing will say this, the best way to
honor the memory of the riders is just going into
the sport. So we will continue to do that and

(21:05):
we will try and bring usual lighthearted feel to the
rest of the show.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
We will give it a bash.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
So then Steve the first not the first second news,
I am here once again, Jorge Martin.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Yeah, but at least this one kind of puts it
to bed.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
I think this one puts it to bed for a
little while. But this this story is going to rumble
on until Joge Martine either wins a championship for a
Prillier or is no longer riding in a Brillier.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
His comments over the weekend have quashed one aspect of
the rumor that that is fully committed to a Prillier
for next year, so he's kind of put that one
to bed. That puts that one sort of on the
back burner now. But there is still question marks to
be asked over his ill tenure out of Brillier and.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
What exactly, what's the long term future look like?

Speaker 2 (22:08):
Exactly exactly.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
It was an interesting press conference he did though. So
it was the Thursday of the race weekend Tojeim Martin
did a solo press conference up on the stage by himself,
and he spent some time going to detail about his
decision making process over the last few months, and as
Steve said, fully confirmed he will stay on with through
twenty twenty six.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
And some of the interesting points that came out of
this press conference was that Juai Martin really thought he
was fighting for his life when he was in this
high dependency unit in Qatar. He's spent four days there
and for all intense purposes, he was fighting for his life.
As someone who's been in a high dependency unit, it
doesn't really matter what's going on around you. If you're
in that unit, you are in that unit for a

(22:51):
very very good reason, and that good reason is without
that unit you probably won't survive. So yeah, he was
in there fighting for his life. And it was during
this time that he kind of made the decision to
move on from a prillier and start a new project.
And I can tell you from experience, you should not
be making big decisions when going through something like that.
There's absolutely no way and his management, his friends, and

(23:12):
his family should absolutely have not listened to anything he
was saying. He would have been pumped soul full of
drugs in this time. He's not in a good headspace anyway.
They absolutely should not have let him be making or
attempting to make big decisions.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
No, No, like you say, you are going to be
very floaty, shall we say, there's a lot going on,
Like you say, it's high dependency. You're in there for
a very good reason. You're pretty banged up. Your head's
not going to be clear. No, not at all. So
that Yeah, you're definitely right. Those are perhaps not the

(23:45):
best times to make big career decisions, but he did,
and the story unfolded.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
Yeah, exactly. So it's kind of at this time he decided, no,
I don't want to do this A Prillier thing anymore.
I want to start a new project. It kind of
gave the impression that he kind of thought the A
Prillier thing may be a little bit cursed, like it's
justice not working. I've had three huge crashes since signing
for a Prillier. I've had three big injuries. I don't
want to be doing this anymore, so I'm going to

(24:15):
move on and do something else. Yeah, but it also
became apparent during this press conference that Bazeki's form of
recent races has really played a part, Martine going, oh,
maybe a Prillier isn't all that bad because he's watched
Zeki's performances get better and better over the first half
of this year, and apparently that played a big part

(24:38):
in him deciding not to pursue the escape clause in
his contract. Although I'm still skeptical he had an easy
way out. I don't think it was going to be
as easy as he thought it was going to be.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
No. No, I think with the mannerisms around how he was,
the noises he was making, I get the impression he
thought it was going to be a lot easier than
it actually was. Prillier, they got the head screwed.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
On, Yeah, quite. But they also did a great job
here because he said the a Prillia's All Star event
and the way he was received by the fans and
the team and the management around A Prillier went a
long way in showing him that there was still a
route here. There was still a job for him, there
was still job satisfaction and potentially a bike that could

(25:25):
take him to probably not a championship right now, but
to race wins potentially, And it kind of showed he
hadn't burnt his bridges in the way that many people
thought he may have done. But I don't know, Masma
Vola and a Prillia seems to applied a bit of
a blinder all the way through this.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
Yeah, they do. Whatever car they were holding close to
their chest, they've kept it well covered and it seems
to have paid off. So good on them. Really, they
started their guns and it seems like they've they've won. Really,
they've got what they wanted. Got to keep him. Yeah,
he's got kind of roll on and see what he

(26:02):
can do.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
Yeah. Quite. He also said that he does understand that
there's some rebuilding that needs to be done with a Prillier.
He seems to be happy to be a team player again,
describing a Prillier like a family and saying that both
parties are committed to making this relationship work. It's been
a bit of a roller coaster so far, but everyone
there is committed, so you know, that's a good thing.
He also did say though, that he has no regrets
and nothing to apologize for, which, you know, maybe just

(26:28):
a little bit of humble pie goes a long way sometimes,
so I think maybe he could have just not that
in the press conference and behind closed doors been like
to to his team and to masimovoler'll be like, ah,
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have I shouldn't have behaved like that.
But yeah, and maybe he did. Maybe he has said
that and they've been like, go on, then go out
in the press and tell them all that you didn't

(26:48):
apologize whatever, safe face. But yeah, I feel like maybe
he didn't need to say that so much in the
press conference. But he was also prompted to buy journalist questions.
To be fair, he didn't just come out and say this.
I think a journalist asked him, do you feel like
you need to apologize?

Speaker 2 (27:02):
And he said that's fair enough. Yeah, you're right. Sometimes
you have got to eat a little bit of pie
and just suck it up and be a man. We
all make mistakes, we all say things out of context,
and the biggest people can admit their mistakes and yeah,
say sorry for them, even if it does mean you're
at a job or whatever. Yeah, there's a lot to

(27:22):
be said for being truthful.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
Yeah, quite to be fair to him, though, he's also
said he understands the backlash he's received from fans. While
he still believes what he did was right and he
doesn't really care about the criticism, he also does seem
like he would be very happy to win some of
the fans back over to his side. So there seems
to be this very much this I don't care. I

(27:44):
actually do care a little bit.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
Yeah, yeah, secretly deep down. You know, when your favorite
character drives off in a movie, you try not to
hide it that you care, but you do.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
Mate. When the Red Wedding happened in Game of Thrones,
Oh I'm a mess. Yeah mate, I never I've never
got over that. That changed TV for me forever.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
Yes, that was a no, let's not go down that road.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
Yeah, it's funny. I was going to spoiler, and then
I was like, I don't know if I can do that.
I know that came out a long time ago now,
but I feel like for anyone that hasn't watched it,
I don't want to be the person that ruins that
for them. You are one of the people, Steve that
prevented me from saying that because you protected me from
the last of us spoilers, as did everyone else who
knew that was coming, and yet none of you said anything.

(28:34):
And I'm still so amazed that I didn't get spoilered
to that. But I feel like now I need to
be really careful with spoilers, no matter how old the
show is.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
Yeah, sometimes I think there's a lot to be said
for just watching and enjoying and then realizing that other
people may not watch things at the same time and
enjoy them later on, and if you've already bluved on
about it and given away half the plot and it
just ruined it for.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
Everyone exactly, exactly. Yes, back to Martin, though very interestingly,
he also said that he had another team, not just Honda,
talking to him about riding for them in twenty twenty six.
And we have no idea who that might have been,

(29:16):
and likely we never will, or at least not for
a very long time. But it's so interesting that there
was potentially another manufacturer he could have been riding for
that wasn't a Prillier or Honda in twenty twenty six.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Yeah, that blows my little tiny mind. But then he's
a world champion for a reason, so he is going
to draw interest, And it only makes sense for any
manufacturer that's there, if they're interested, to maybe have a
little chat and just it never hurts to plant the
seed of interest in sort of the business world. I

(29:51):
don't think if you can make connections networking, that's what
it's all about. So it feels like maybe he told
put the feelers out and people took note and listened. Yeah,
I know who is really? Well?

Speaker 1 (30:04):
Yeah, it's fascinating, isn't it? Like? Who can it? Possibly?
Was it a return to do Catti? Maybe? Was it
a Yamaha gig? Well not unless they're going to be
bin off flex Rinnens from the factory team, Like there's
no way he's going to pramat Yamaha KTM potentially.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
KTM Really would that would be where my sort of
attention is lying, But who knows, could be bloody anyone,
but interesting.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
I quite like that one, yeah, quite. And throughout this
press conference, Martin did seem to be saying that this
decision only stands for twenty twenty six, so I wouldn't
be surprised if he's already signed a back backdoor deal
to ride one hundred and twenty twenty seven and beyond,

(30:55):
and if that has happened, I also wouldn't be surprised
if he starts winning next year he might try and
get out of that deal to and stay with the Pritty.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
So there's a lot of open ended questions and footnotes
and everything here. It's a very intricate kind of scenario,
and I do think he's covering all the bases. But yeah,
it's just great coverage and it gives us something to
talk about exactly.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
And as Martine himself said, maybe in the future, if
we win together, I will say thanks to Masimo for
all they did to keep me here. So I like
that as well. Maybe in the future, if we win together,
I will say thank you, Like like, wow.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
It's the most political answer. Every baileet is covered, every
tears crossed eye has dotted, and it just leaves you hanging.
You're just like if maybe, yeah, exactly, it's so good.
That is pr perfectness.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
Yeah, jee Martin, who knew what a genius?

Speaker 2 (31:53):
Absolute genius.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
So yeah, So to wrap up, really, Martin is definitely
staying on with a Prillier. In twenty twenty six, we
haven't got a fucking clue where he'll be in twenty
twenty seven. It may maybe if a Prillier win, he'll
stay there. If they don't, he'll leave. But who who
bloody knows? But I imagine there is more contract drama coming
in Martin's future, because Martin is just a contract drama magnet.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
He is, really, really is. It's fabulous.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
Yeah, it's fabulous. I agree, I agree completely, Speaking of fabulous, Steve.
The next news item here, Moto GP is to race
again in Argentina in twenty twenty seven, So we're going back,
but potentially potentially.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
I like it. I like Argentina throws up some great races.
If we can go back there, fantastic.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
If it's a new circuit, isn't it like? It was
announced that Urmasterio Hondo would not see Moto GP bikes
again after this year, but it's now been announced that
the series will return to Argentina in twenty thirty seven
to race at the Auto Droma Oscar e Juan Halves.
I would guess I don't know how Argentinians say gee,

(33:12):
but I would imagine it's more of an h sound,
so I would say Halves. But This circuit is just
outside Buenos Aires. The circuit did host premier class racing
in the sixties, eighties, and nineties, but and it's a
big butt, it's currently not up to spec for modern
Moto GP. So work needs to be done to the

(33:35):
circuit this time. And this is where we hit the potentially,
because yes, there is time. But we have seen over
and over again Moto GP promised to go to countries
and circuits that are either not yet built or not
yet homologated, and the majority of the time over the
last decade, we have not gone to those circuits. And

(33:55):
what makes it worse in Argentina right now is their
political situation is still very up in the air, Like
we've still got this democratically elected president. Yes, but the
man's a nut job, so things could change.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
This guy gets of sugar in his coffee in the morning,
he's fucking raging exactly.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
He's on stage with Donald Trump and Elon Musk wilding
a chainsaw around his head. So there's a lot that
could go to well, there's a lot of eyes that
need dotting and teas that need crossing before this race
actually comes off. If it does, though, it would be
fantastic because there is a rise of South American riders

(34:38):
across the classes right now, and having a bigger footprint
on the content on the continent can only be a
good thing.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
Yeah, it really can. Again, we're just gonna have to
wait and see. Say, there's been a lot of false
promises when it comes to tracks surrounding Motor GP. There
is time, but we've heard it all before, so let's
just sit back, relax, try and put it to the
back of our minds, and then what's what happens in
twenty twenty seven?

Speaker 1 (35:05):
Exactly? New rules, new circuits, would be an exciting year,
could be very exciting. Juhi Martin could be riding a
GELAIRA or something.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
By then who to be on an MV anything aside
top rack?

Speaker 1 (35:18):
Yeah, Juhi Martin riding a BMW in Mogph.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
Plot twist, plot twist, big twist. Right.

Speaker 1 (35:29):
See that brings us to the end of the news.
So let's take a quick break and then when we
come back, we will start talking about the top fives
from the Grand Prix race weekend in Bruno. Let's do it, buddy,
good stuff. So guys bear with us for just one
moment and we will be right back with you. Thank

(36:05):
you for being with us. We are back. Bladders are empty,
my bee is still half full, Steve, so a new one.

Speaker 2 (36:12):
Yeah, I've still got about two thirds.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
Excellent, we'll crack on it. I can confirm though, I
am feeling particularly chatty, so I think the whatever the
ingredients in here are, they do seem to be working.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
Well. That's good. Good job we're talking exactly.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
Otherwise I'd just be chewing sher e's eer off right now,
and she's had a migrade all day, so she probably
doesn't want me jabbering on at her. She's trying to sleep.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
No, she's probably would not appreciate that too much.

Speaker 1 (36:39):
No, quite so, Steve. Let's dive in to top fives.
But before we do, actually, I would just like to
say it was really nice to be back at.

Speaker 2 (36:52):
It. It was so good. When the bike started going
around the track on the Friday, I was like, oh,
this is familiar, this is no it was it felt right.
You know, you get home after a long holiday and
you get in your own belly like this is proper,
this is it?

Speaker 1 (37:09):
Yeah exactly, Yeah, it was so good.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
I love Bruno. We needed to go back there.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
Yeah. Yeah, I'm really chaffed at his back there, and
as were the people of Chechia. They seem to love it.
It was full. The hillsides were packed, the grandsons were packed.
The fucking president of Chechia was roaming around and taking
photos and blasted about on a scooter. He's flying the

(37:34):
checkered flag and everything. He seemed to be loving life.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
Yeah, he was having a great time. And if you're here,
I'm jumping on this wagon. So yeah, six years since
the the people are checking you god to see GP
in the backyard, so it's good to.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
Be back, yes, exactly quick. Oh yeah, it's funny because
I was like that. It was five years but that
was the COVID race. No one was there to watch it,
so yes, very yeah, good point.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
Yeah, yeah, they missed one there, but they couldn't go.
I'm sure if you were local, you were a sneaking
and there was probably some eagle eye bugger in a
tree somewhere as I saw it.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
Do you remember Austria during COVID where the helicopter at
one point focused on just people in the hillsides, just
sitting on camping chairs with binoculars, just watching the circuit.

Speaker 2 (38:18):
That was fantastic. I thought, well, they're not breaking any rules.
They're quite they're out for their stress walk. You know,
they just happened to pause at a certain time in
a certain place. Yeah to spectator, I mean you can't
read say a lot.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
Do you know. They were probably just hanging out with
people from their own household, so they were still in
their bubbles. They were, you know, just and socially distanced
from everyone else.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
Happy days, Happy days indeed.

Speaker 1 (38:46):
But yes, Bruno anyway, Steve Moto three, Yes, this was
just most another Moto three classic, except the fact that
the race winner had just blasted off and left everyone
fighting in his dust.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
Yeah. Yeah, there was a runaway winner on this one.
But the action behind it was still good. And yeah,
most of those three bikes around Bruneau just looked incredible that.

Speaker 1 (39:11):
Yes, quite it was. It was a pleasure to watch.
It was a fun race, and the top five in
it looked like this. Yes, fifth place was one Dennis
foggy Er. Nice to see him racing at the front
once again, but he was absolutely the slowest of the
leading group and arguably cost his teammate but the win

(39:33):
by refusing to let him through for most of the race.
But while that said, he absolutely wasn't the fastest, his
racecraft was exceptional and he really showed his experience against
the younger guys around him. I think he was probably
the only person in the Motor three field to have
raced this circuit previously on a Motor three bikes, so

(39:53):
that gave him a snight edge. But as we saw
about the lap times, the new resurcing job has just
changed this track completely and Dennis Foggier was absolutely able
to capitalize on that.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
Yeah. Absolutely, he was so blind this weekend. Like I say,
not the fastest, but watching him race was lovely. What
things you did with that little Moto three bike were incredible,
perfect lines, perfect breaking. A masterclass to watch.

Speaker 1 (40:18):
Yeah, quite. It's kind of the reminder of the Denis
Poggio of old. We've seen him a couple of times
this year just kind of do some pretty special things
that you go, ah, yeah, your years in Moto two
kind of kind of a few failed years in Moto
two haven't blunted him as much as I fear they might.
We see this domium when people drop back down through
the classes that he don't tend to perform like they

(40:42):
had done previously. But Dennis Foggio, while still not back
to he's winning ways, still seems capable of performing at
the front.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
Yes he does, Yeah he really does. Yeah, great rest
for him again.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
Yeah, quite a lot of TV type.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
Yes, a hell of a lot you've done for him.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
Fourth place in this one, then, Steve was an helper
keras he managed to lose not too many points in
the championships or a weigher, but maybe more importantly at
this point, gained a bunch of points on Alvarro Karpe
and has overtaken the rookie year for second in the
standings once again.

Speaker 2 (41:17):
Yes, yeah, yeah, management weekend, this one still a fantastic
race for him.

Speaker 1 (41:22):
In Yeah, and he still seems to be plagued by
this problem though that he just can't seem to overtake
like some of the other guys. He can get on
their back wheel, but he just cannot find a way through.
It's kind of reminiscent of Bagnia in Motor GP at
the moment where even if he's quicker, just doesn't seem
to have found a way past.

Speaker 2 (41:41):
Yeah, I don't. I think he's definitely quicker, but it's
almost like he's just not quite got that extra tense
to give Hi the blast past, like when he needs
that extra bit of power. It's almost like a Yamaha situation,
I think, where he can blast up with the smooth,
fast twisties, but when it comes to overtaken and used
to be in a spot where he can work it

(42:02):
in and often with a place like Bruno get some
of these long windy corners, you can't do that. So
overtaken is a real problem of his at the minute.
It's something definitely he and the team need to work on.

Speaker 1 (42:17):
Yeah. Absolutely, that team paid a lot of money to
get him out of his honder contract. What's that team
let the contract? But yeah, he's not quite performed how
we were expecting. That said, you know, he's still second
in the championship.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
So it's just when you look at times like this
and the false all the problems he find like get
around people, it's easy to pick holes. Yes, he is
still second in the championship and still doing bloody well.

Speaker 1 (42:48):
Yeah quite third place in this one. Then Steve was
one David Munnia and this dude is on an absolute
role right now. Every race we can that happens like this.
I'm becoming more and more of a believer.

Speaker 2 (43:03):
Yeah, absolutely meed too. Watching him carve his way through
this field this weekend going about his business was fantastic.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
I can't remember exactly where he started, but it was
way down the order something. I think it was twenty fourth.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
Was it that far down?

Speaker 2 (43:19):
It may have been I was at fourteenth sometimes I'm
sure it had a four at the end.

Speaker 1 (43:26):
Either way, there's a lot of people to get through exactly.

Speaker 2 (43:28):
But the guy did so well to finish where he
did'd considering he started down the order, he did really well.

Speaker 1 (43:37):
Let me see how quick looks? See if I can
find where he qualified?

Speaker 2 (43:42):
Can you see it? Is it there? Oh? That's Oh?

Speaker 1 (43:51):
Is that you two? I think you might qualified? Third?

Speaker 2 (43:53):
Was he third? Who am I thinking of? Then?

Speaker 1 (43:56):
Who he qualified?

Speaker 2 (44:00):
Third? Thinking of them?

Speaker 1 (44:03):
Just good question, Steve, No, A bunch of the main
top five finishes qualified pretty high. Who did qualify? What
looks like out of position.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
Got out my head. It's been a busy weekend.

Speaker 1 (44:22):
Moto two guys might be getting.

Speaker 2 (44:25):
Confused between classes. Not to worry.

Speaker 1 (44:32):
Okay, so then second place in this one and speaking
of dudes on rolls maximum keyles. He potentially had the
place to win this race, but spent way too much
time tripping over his teammate to make the most of it,
and by the time he actually got into some clean air,
he was too far back to challenge the eventual winner.
He also seemed to make fewer errors in this race.

(44:54):
So I think that it's coming together. And it's weird
to say it's coming together for him now after the
fucking run he's been in his rookie season. But it
really feels like it's coming more and more together for
him now and he's going to be a really potent
threat in the second half of this year.

Speaker 2 (45:08):
Yeah, he really is. Yeah, it's a bit strange to
say it's coming together, like you say, after the run
he's been on. But all those little kinks and bumps
that he had, he's definitely ironed out or ironing out. Yeah,
And every time he does that, he's just becoming more
of a threat. So he has definitely worn to keep
a massive eye on.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
Yeah, quite absolutely, I tell you what, though I better
There was an awkward moment where him and Foggier as teammates,
came back to the pits and back in the box.
I reckon there might have been a couple of tense
words shared between them and potentially between team members, because
I really think if Foggier had just let him go

(45:50):
and just focused on finishing on the podium, then potentially
Foggier could have finished on the podium and Kidz could
have won this race.

Speaker 2 (45:56):
Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, Foggier's stubbornness, if you will, cost quite
didly because essentially, if you'd let him go, he could
have funnel on to the back of him, and yeah,
quite let him drag him up there. But it wasn't
to be. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised that there wasn't
at least some should we say, interesting stares across the garage.

Speaker 1 (46:18):
Yeah, was already, Yes, exactly, there's a clipboard launched across
the across the box. But I do suspect if Kei
Lez had been second in the championship already, then maybe
this would have played outsidely differently.

Speaker 2 (46:32):
Yeah, potentially, but that's not what happened. So here we.

Speaker 1 (46:36):
Are quite and then winning this race Steve once again
was Jose Antonio Ruaida. The guy is on such a
run of form and he absolutely destroyed the field in
this one, pulling away tenth by tenth as the rest
of the rider's battle behind him, he stayed out of
trouble and ended up finishing almost three point five seconds

(46:59):
ahead of the rest of the field across the line.

Speaker 2 (47:01):
Fantastic. It's not very often we see a runaway winner
like this in Moto III, so when you do see it,
it just goes to show how on point that rider
is at that time everything is working. It does help
that the guys behind him were tripping themselves up, so
they did the intense here, there, and everywhere, and he's

(47:22):
going to take them all. Doesn't know what's happening.

Speaker 1 (47:27):
No, I imagine while Keiles is throwing clipboards at Foggier, Rader
may well be sending him a box of chocolates.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
Yes, yes, maybe some flowers as well, exactly, but yes,
another fantastic ride for him.

Speaker 1 (47:44):
Yeah quite, And he's just championship leads just extends out
further and further. At this point, he's all this year
eighty five points ahead.

Speaker 2 (47:57):
Yeah, he's got a comfortable barrier now buffer just there.

Speaker 1 (48:02):
Yeah, hasn't he Just he could sit out three races
and still be leading the championship. What happens.

Speaker 2 (48:07):
That's a nice buffer having the bag.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
Yeah, quite a good position to be in for Away
to there. So yeah, cracking season for him so far,
and it just looks like it's going to continue.

Speaker 2 (48:18):
It really does.

Speaker 1 (48:21):
So Moto two then, Steve, Yes, this was another fun race.
I enjoyed this one quite a lot, although it didn't
quite have the same Mard storming fights that we saw
at Moto three, and it didn't quite have the same
intrigue as some of the other Moto two races we
have seen this year. Much of that is because Aaron

(48:44):
Cannett crashed out very very early on in the race. Yeah, first,
and yeah it was the first lap, and Diogo Morrera
retired from the race after his pit lane start that
left him thirty seconds off the back of the field.
And then I think I think he was still suffering
with injuries from his incident with Alonso, Yeah the last

(49:08):
race weekend, so yeah he was. He's scored no points,
Canet scored no points and those two have been what
really has made some of these races recently very exciting,
and without those two in it, it kind of returns
to a Motor two race that we see in years
gone by.

Speaker 2 (49:23):
Yeah, yeah, very much. So. It was gutted when I
saw can it crash out and then, like you say,
Marrera retired. They have been the real protagonist to take
this to down to the fight and provide the entertainment.

Speaker 1 (49:36):
Yeah, essentially, don't get me.

Speaker 2 (49:37):
Wrong with all the other guys do it as well,
but when you got these extra guys in the mix,
there's just more elements to that cocktail to mix in. Yeah,
quite a shame. It was still a good race, but
it didn't It was just a little bit off the boil.

Speaker 1 (49:52):
Yes, exactly. But the top five without those two ended
up looking like this. Fifth place was Cellistino Vietti once
again creeping into the top five without you really noticing
he was doing it. But he was very close to
fourth by the end of the race.

Speaker 2 (50:10):
Yes, yeah, it really was.

Speaker 1 (50:13):
And the only Bosco Scuro once again in the top five.
So once again only one of them creeping on in there.

Speaker 2 (50:20):
Yeah. Yeah, he's definitely leading that charge for that Jesse
this year.

Speaker 1 (50:25):
Yeah he see. In fact, who is the top Bosco
Scuro currently? Oh it is still Jake Dixon.

Speaker 2 (50:31):
Yeah it must be Jake.

Speaker 1 (50:33):
Yeah, still Jake Dixon. Chelistini Vietti. So Jake Dixon's in
fifth on one hundred and nineteen points thanks to his
two race wins and that podium he got in Germany
and then Chillistenar. Vietti's down at eighth on ninety points,
so he's still, you know, thirty nine points back from
the Britain.

Speaker 2 (50:51):
Interesting. Interesting, Jake was on a cold runner form at
the start of the season. That's a good results when
Chelstina wasn't, so have kind of switched.

Speaker 1 (51:02):
Yeah, Justina, it's just looks just a little bit more consistent,
like he's scored. So if we go through both of
their scores here, Jake has scored starting in Thailand seventh
and then a win in Argentina, a winning Texas, a retirement,
and guitar ninth, fifth, eleventh, thirteenth, seventeenth, fourth, third, eleventh,
So he's kind of been up and down over the place. Yeah,

(51:24):
whereas Vietti had a retirement in Thailand, a podium in
Argentina for a third, a twentieth in Texas, then seventh, seventh, eighth, six, eighteenth, fifth, eleventh, fifth, fifth,
So they kind of it is. When he's scoring points,
it's always nearly always in the top eighth, whereas Jake

(51:45):
is winning racist standing on the pod and then yeah,
falling outside the top ten.

Speaker 2 (51:51):
They're kind of averaging each other out in ways.

Speaker 1 (51:55):
I mean, Jake Dixon's is clearly the best. Well, he
scored more points, but it seems like.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
A higher low kind of situation.

Speaker 1 (52:04):
Yeah, exactly, so, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
Well, it gives us something else to keep in mind
and watch. So another little interesting battle top boscoscuro.

Speaker 1 (52:16):
Yeap quite, I think that's comfortably Jake's ns he really
falls apart lead at this point.

Speaker 2 (52:23):
Yeah, there's some drastic happens, but who knows.

Speaker 1 (52:27):
Has any other Bosco screws want to race this year? No?

Speaker 2 (52:32):
No, than they have.

Speaker 1 (52:35):
In fact, so Jake's had three podiums. Of the Bosco Scureau,
Vietti has had one, Simuch hasn't had any, Alonso Lopez
has had one, and that is it. So Jake has
taken more podiums than the rest of the Bosco scure
is combined, and has taken infinitely morgins than the rest

(52:56):
of your combined fair enough. So yeah, when you look
at the highs, Jake is clearly the performing the best
of the bossle scuries right now they do.

Speaker 2 (53:06):
That makes sense.

Speaker 1 (53:08):
And talk of a big money deal to World Superbikes
for Jake next.

Speaker 2 (53:11):
Year, Yeah, rumors are stand a swell. There's a lot
going on for Jake at the minute. So yeah, there's
definitely a little rumor. Mills, keep an eye. Quite interesting.
We'll have to see what Silly Season throws up.

Speaker 1 (53:25):
Yes, exactly. It's a funny thing, isn't it, with like
the World super Bikes. Silly Season is because I don't
pay a huge amount of attention to World suit Bikes
like I do sometimes listen to the paddle Past podcasts
World super Bikes, so like I catch the highlights here
and there, but especially when it's talk of like motive
two riders moving over, I feel like I just hear
about it really late because I'm not paying a lot.

Speaker 2 (53:46):
Of So this one's come a little bit early because
it's Jake, and maybe he had it a bit more
in the press because he's fellow brit Yeah. But yeah,
normally it is like last minute, it's like, well, really
he's off over there. Okay.

Speaker 1 (54:02):
Yeah, it's normally like they've signed and then they're off.

Speaker 2 (54:04):
Yeah, I just get that press release, it's done. Rare.
We hear it rumor mill but it's welcome.

Speaker 1 (54:10):
Yeah, quite. And they're also the rumors of Aaron Cannett
as well going up towards super bikes, so it's kind
of there. Seems to be quite almost an exodus of
some of the veteran motor two riders that probably aren't
going to get to motoor GIP moving potentially moving over
towards super bikes. So that's quite interesting to follow at
the moment.

Speaker 2 (54:25):
Yeah, we'll have to keep a close eye on this one.

Speaker 1 (54:28):
Yeah. Back to the Bruno Moto two race. Fourth place
in this one was Danny Olgardo. Another great showing from
the rookie and a really solid job.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
Yes it really was. Yeah, it's doing really good things
this year, isn't he. Everything seems to just just to
be on point with him, So you can't folop the
guy's season so far at all.

Speaker 1 (54:54):
Yeah quite. I tell you what the Orgado Alonso combination
is looking like next year, when they both have a
year of experience under their belts, that's going to be
a really really good lineup in that world. What team
you want? I couldn't even remember, but it's not No,

(55:14):
it's not as I.

Speaker 2 (55:17):
No, next year with that lineup will be very strong.

Speaker 1 (55:20):
Yeah, yeah, it's going to be quite exciting one to watch.
I could see one of those two potentially winning a
championship next year, but we'll have to see race wins
coming from them first. That's the next important step.

Speaker 2 (55:32):
Yes, we will.

Speaker 1 (55:35):
Third place. Then in this one, Steve was one Manuel Gonzales.
In the opening lapse, it looked like Manuel was just
sitting back and letting the top two fighting out, But
as the race went on, he dropped back further and
further and was unable to go with them. Now, initially
he wasn't told that both Canada Morera were out of

(55:55):
the race. I think the team had been like, if
you want a race for a win, race for a win.
But as his pace seemed to drop off, the team
let him know so he could not kind of force
the issue, didn't have take him risks, and he managed
to come home in a safe third with a bunch
of points, which now puts him how many points?

Speaker 2 (56:14):
I didn't know how far ahead he is?

Speaker 1 (56:16):
Blood is that twenty five points ahead? Now he's got
a twenty five point lead on Aaron Cannett, So yeah,
he's opened up an entire race win. So if he
dnf' the next race and Aaron Cannett wins, Gonzales will
still lead to the championship on camback.

Speaker 2 (56:33):
Yes, another good race and a very calculated race, because,
like you say, most of the time he seemed happy
to sit back and let the top two go. And
then as soon as he got the news that these
two main rivals were out, happiness, We'll take the sixteen points.

Speaker 1 (56:48):
Yeah quite Yeah, that's a sensible race. And this might
be the biggest gap he's had for a while, but
potentially so far.

Speaker 2 (57:00):
I believe it is. I really do believe it is. Yeh.
As long as he can manage it now, it'd be okay.

Speaker 1 (57:06):
Yeah, exactly second place in this one, then Steve was
Barry Baltus with his fifth podium of the season. Fourth
second place. Barriers moved up to second in the standings
and he again looked like a potent threat in this race,
but just didn't have quite enough to get the win.

(57:28):
After just missing out in Saxon Ring, he just missed
out again, but this time at least we can't blame
a red flag. This time he just did not quite
have the pace to run right at the pointy end.

Speaker 2 (57:41):
No, he just was missing that tiny little bit. But yeah, again,
this guy's having a fantastic season, you say, stepping up
to second of the season looks a little bit like
I'm uncertain whether he's gonna have enough to close the
gap on Gonzalas, but he's certainly going a whole second

(58:04):
pretty well. I think I would be surprised. We don't
see I've seen second place in the championship, solidifying his
second place at races.

Speaker 1 (58:15):
Yeah, I tell you what, I'm full of shit. There,
he's third in the championship now, not second. I apologize,
I thought he was. Yeah, he's the He's he's third.
He's like thirty twenty nine points off Aaron Canon third
in second. So yeah, sorry, I got that one wrong.
But yeah, it's going to be an interesting fight, though,
isn't it. Because he's overtaken Diega Morera. I think that's
where I was getting confused. Now he's overtaken Marera. I

(58:37):
think the Morera bout Us battle in the championship is
going to maybe be one of the most exciting just
to see who finishes on the bottom step of the
championship podium.

Speaker 2 (58:46):
There. Yeah, potentially if Barry Huges was performing the way is,
there's no reason why he can't close up on the
other two. So you know, we could be it's an
interesting fight for second in the championship. Maybe.

Speaker 1 (58:57):
Yeah, I could see like a realistic shot of their
potentially being a four way battle for this title as
we kind of come into the closing rounds between Canic Gonzales,
perhaps the Samaria.

Speaker 2 (59:09):
Yeah, potentially the more guys on track, the more they
could tribut each other up and then closing points, getting
to points here and there, a well for Valencia in
the final rounds of the championship.

Speaker 1 (59:20):
So quite because we've seen from all four of them
like they're capable of making big mistakes and big cock
ups that allow the others to kind of close points down.
So yeah, I can see it going. It's either I
think Gonzales is eating a run away with it or
we're going to see a really tight battle between more
than two riders for the rest of the year.

Speaker 2 (59:38):
Yeah, I'd like to see a Tyler battle, but we'll
us have to see.

Speaker 1 (59:45):
We'll have to wait and see. And then Steve winning
this race for only his third ever moto to win.
Joe Roberts and he put on a fine display in
this race.

Speaker 2 (01:00:02):
Yes, he really did. The guy looked good all weekend.
He's been approved. He's slowly and it's welcome. We need
another front runner.

Speaker 1 (01:00:12):
Quite he was fast from the get go on Friday,
and it never really looked like he was under threat.
It turns out that he'd recently spent two days testing
around Bruno, and Bruno is the scene of his first
ever motor tube odium, so it's clearly a circle he
gets on with. He clearly had some experience that everyone
else didn't. But regardless of any of that, it was
really nice to see Joe back on the top step.

Speaker 2 (01:00:32):
Yeah. Yeah, regardless of all the other stuff, it's great
to see another person in the mix. It's always great
to see Joe at the top. You know, another crazy American, right, Yeah,
I'm just.

Speaker 1 (01:00:46):
How you describe Joe as crazy, No, not at all.
He's like one of the most chilled out surfer dudes. Like,
I don't think crazy crosses his vernacular at all.

Speaker 2 (01:00:57):
No, just a very nice person. And it's always good
to get another face in the mix and a good
racer at the top end, because it just adds to
the more and more spice that we can have.

Speaker 1 (01:01:07):
Yeah, quite, and I think it's just very good for
the sport to have Americans at the point in the
end of NY class.

Speaker 2 (01:01:13):
Yeah exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:01:16):
So that was Moto to Steve. Let's move it on
to Moto GP.

Speaker 2 (01:01:20):
Let's go there.

Speaker 1 (01:01:23):
So the top fives will cover the sprint first. Now,
the sprint was actually a bit of a dull affair
with some drama thinks the censor errors and some interesting
talking points thrown up. But I think that kind of
describes the entire race weekend. There's some interesting talking points,
emoji bi a least interesting talking points. The sprint had

(01:01:47):
the potential to be really boring, and the GP was
a little bit more exciting, but still not the best race.

Speaker 2 (01:01:53):
Yeah, there's a lot going on, but for probably the
wrong reasons. But they kept us then entertained, So we're
got to thank these problems for the entertainment they provided.
So it's a weird one. It's a really strange on this.
It could have been even duller if it wasn't for
the few issues that we had.

Speaker 1 (01:02:16):
Exactly We will get to those. But the top five
in the sprint looked like this. Yes, fifth place was
Fabio Couturato once again qualifying on the front row and
managing to turn it into a decent albeit slightly disappointing
I imagine from his perspective points all yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:02:37):
Again, the positives to take away from this are the
fact qualified well, finished in fifth in the short sprint. Yeah,
qualifying is not really a problem for this guy anymore.
A little bit maybe you want to finish on pole,
but to be on the front right.

Speaker 1 (01:02:54):
Like yeah, quite like Fabrio Quatro has rediscovered his qualifying
for he was always really good at qualifying and last
year that bike did just not working qualifying. But Fadrio
Quaterion and Yamaha have really refound their qualifying form. It's
just a shame that he does all of that work
on a Saturday morning and it just comes to not nothing,

(01:03:18):
but it doesn't come to what we hope and always
expect from Fabrio Quaterro and from Yamaha.

Speaker 2 (01:03:25):
Yeah, this is true. It's almost like a little bit
of a tears. We get the hyperd he's down the
front row, he's qualified, well, he's going to do really good,
but it's just got that little bit missing still from
Yamaha and the bike in the package that doesn't translate
into podiums, ros winds, second places that they just quite need.
They're closer. He is evident that they are working and

(01:03:47):
getting closer all the time, but it's still lack it
just a little tiny bit less than before, but still
a little bit. Yeah, it's coming, but.

Speaker 1 (01:03:58):
I think it's coming when the V four car. I
think they may have stopped work now entirely on this.
In nine four, I think they are just working on
the V four now.

Speaker 2 (01:04:06):
That's what it sounds like. See more and more posts
on social media the V four getting tested, so it
does sound like it will be on track soon.

Speaker 1 (01:04:16):
But we will see it wildcard before the end of
the year without a doubt, and I would not be
surprised if all of the amahas next year of Vivas.

Speaker 2 (01:04:23):
Yeah, I completely agree.

Speaker 1 (01:04:28):
Fourth place though in this one Steve was Marco Bazeki
and this was another great ride from Bez and just
another solid weekend from the a Prillia rider.

Speaker 2 (01:04:37):
Yeah. Yeah, the guy is really having a good time
at the minute. He had Arillier that marriage is coming
on nicely now. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:04:44):
Quite this is the becoming the Italian dream team that
Valentino Rossi and Ducati were supposed to.

Speaker 2 (01:04:49):
Be exactly just a decade later or however, yeah, decade in.

Speaker 1 (01:04:54):
A bit, yeahly a decade and a half. That's wilds
was writing Good to Catty fifteen years ago.

Speaker 2 (01:05:04):
Yeah, something like that. Time has flown by, man, absolutely
flowing by. You start thinking about all these things, Oh
my god, yeah, yeah it was that long ago. Then
you start thinking of your own birthday, like, damn, I'm old.

Speaker 1 (01:05:19):
It's pretty mad to Vinco. There'll be met O GP
fans now that never saw Valentine and Rossie race. Yeah
that's wild, there really is.

Speaker 2 (01:05:26):
Yeah, that's crazy. But then every generation goes for that
when you get to pass by the next breed, next generations. Though,
it's just unfortunate that we're coming to that point.

Speaker 1 (01:05:38):
Yeah, quite so. You know that's what we've got Ma
Marquez for exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:05:43):
He is the goat at the minute. So there'll be
another one.

Speaker 1 (01:05:47):
There'll be another one. Absolutely third place. Then in this one,
Steve was and I'm just going to double check I
got my next right here, because it looks like I
wrote a nea Bastian Nini.

Speaker 2 (01:05:58):
I know where did this off from?

Speaker 1 (01:06:01):
Oh back on the podium, and this was unexpected and miraculous.
It's a real shame he crashed out of the Grand Prix,
but to be back on a sprint podium is probably
more than he could have expected this year, and far
more than I think any of us thought he was
going to get it this year.

Speaker 2 (01:06:18):
Yeah. Absolutely, I didn't really know what to make of it.
All the time he's gone around, something's going to happen.
In a minute, he's going to start dropping down the
all day, he's going to crash something.

Speaker 1 (01:06:29):
Surely his front tires under pressure. There's no way he's
this fast. Like, what's happening here?

Speaker 2 (01:06:34):
Yeah? I was just I've just sat there waiting for
something to happen, and it didn't and he put it
on third place on the box. I was like, oh,
this is fantastic. Yeah, and then crashed out of the GP.
I was like, oh my god.

Speaker 1 (01:06:48):
Now, but he just he was just faster, wasn't he quick?
His standard late race pace?

Speaker 2 (01:06:55):
He was just fast ye all the time?

Speaker 1 (01:06:58):
Yeah, just quick.

Speaker 2 (01:06:59):
It was fantastic to see whether I don't know, I'm
going to take away a little bit of hope that
next race in Austria. You know he's up at the
point in the end because they've found a little something
that will give him a bit more.

Speaker 1 (01:07:13):
So I just think the KTM was working really well
this weekend, as we will see. Pedro cost obviously finished second,
so I think that I think the KTM was just
working really really well and Vascilini was just able to
capitalize on that. But Austria should be a track that
the KTM works well around. It works well around as well.
They've won there before, much like they won at Bruno before,

(01:07:34):
so potentially we're going to see Bastianini doing something special again.
But I think Bastiani said something like he's never ridden
this track, He's never ridden Bruno on a motor GP
bike before, so he hasn't got any of the house.
He doesn't know how MOSTORP bike feels around this track,
whereas normally every other circuit he knows what a Ducatti

(01:07:54):
motor GP bike feels like around those circuits, and the
KTM isn't doing the things that Ducati did, So he
gets here with none of this prior knowledge and just
manages to make the bike work and just rides the bike,
doesn't try and make it do what a Doukati would do.
So potentially, when we get to somewhere like a Baton
Park in Hungry that might have a similar effect here.

(01:08:15):
You might be doing really well there. If that track
is going to work for KTMS, we don't know yet.

Speaker 2 (01:08:20):
I see that's an unknown. But yeah, that's a good point. Yeah,
he didn't have that experience and prior feeling of everything
else going on around him. So but hopefully if that
is the case, he can come away from this and note,
well I can actually ride it like a KTM. That's
a big positive to take away, So hopefully that will

(01:08:41):
stick in his mind. Just think, look, actually I can
do this.

Speaker 1 (01:08:45):
I can do it.

Speaker 2 (01:08:46):
I don't have to try and be a Jakati rider anymore.
Let's give this thing the ragging that it wants and
actually ride it properly. It's hopefully fingers crossed we get
to Austria, you can remember that and we'll see an improvement.

Speaker 1 (01:09:01):
I hope. So it would be very good for that
to happen at KTM's home race as well.

Speaker 2 (01:09:05):
Exactly exactly. There'll be a little bit of pressure, so
hopefully we can forget about that and translate it to
a good result.

Speaker 1 (01:09:13):
Yeah, Guite as mentioned then, Steve second place in this
one was Pedro Acosta. As you said, the KTM was
clearly working well, but Pedro really made the most of it.
He did leave a few lead a few laps after
essentially being waved through by both Peco and Mark, but
he didn't have the pace of the Mark Marquez do
Catti combo. But let's face it, this year, if.

Speaker 2 (01:09:36):
You're ahead of Marcus, he's either made a mistake or
he has waved you through, always crashed.

Speaker 1 (01:09:44):
You're not really to be fair.

Speaker 2 (01:09:48):
You're not really racing past him this year, unless it's
maybe the very early stages of a race.

Speaker 1 (01:09:54):
But yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, because that's when Mark is vulnerable. Actually,
Mark is vulnerable in those first few laps. But yeah,
as the race goes.

Speaker 2 (01:10:01):
On, no no chance, No, not at all.

Speaker 1 (01:10:06):
And winning this one, Steve whilst one. Mark Marquez only
his eleventh sprint winner of the year from twelve sprints.
He only holds the record for the most sprint winds
in a single season now and is only in second
place on the all time of sprint winds list, behind
only Juge Martin, and at this rate that record is
going to fall by the end of the year. By

(01:10:27):
the end of the year, Mark Marquez is going to
after a single season on a fatory, Deucatty hold the
record for the most sprint wins in a season and
the most sprint wins of all time.

Speaker 2 (01:10:37):
Yep, that's insane. But we are watching the rejuveilated Marquez
is absolute best. So yeah, this really I don't think
it's much of a surprise, but it's great to see.

Speaker 1 (01:10:51):
It is a joy to see. Absolutely, it's dominant. It's
almost boring at times, but I am enjoying watching it
happen me too, and watching it happen again, like after
being convinced that, you know, twenty nineteen might have been
the last one, it might have been the last time
Mark was truly dominant over season, and seeing it happen
again has Yeah, it's been a lot of fun actually,

(01:11:14):
and more fun than I thought this kind of domination
could be.

Speaker 2 (01:11:17):
Yeah, yeah, it is a lot of fun. Some people
don't like it, I personally do each. I think we
just got it. You can't please everyone. It's got to
take away from it the good points and try and
enjoy it.

Speaker 1 (01:11:32):
Yeah, exactly, And we did mention that Pedro Costa led
a few laps after being waved through by both Pecka
and Mark, and let's touch on that briefly here. So
during this spot we saw both Pecko and Mark look
behind and deliberately keep up the positions. Initially we didn't
really know what was happening, but after seeing the replays,
it was pretty obvious they were. It was a tire

(01:11:55):
pressure think going on here. They wanted to be righting
behind someone. But Mark did it much much better than Peco.
Mark was leading the race when he did it. He
looked over his shoulder, had to give like two and
a half seconds after Pedro Acosta to overtake him, and
they stayed yeah, quite He stayed right on the rear

(01:12:16):
wheel of a Costa and you know, followed super close
and then when he got the green light, overtook him
and pulled almost a second gap in a lap and
a half as well. So he was, Yeah, he was
pretty good. Peco, on the other hand, things did not
quite get a plan for Peco. He looked over his shoulder.
It happened to him before it happened to Mark, actually,
but he looked over his shoulder. He gave up a

(01:12:38):
position to Pedro a Costa tried to get back on
his rear wheel and then gave up another two spots
as well, so that didn't go to plan.

Speaker 2 (01:12:44):
I have no luck at the minute, No quite.

Speaker 1 (01:12:48):
He did end up struggling. He finished the race in seventh,
but it might not have been entirely his own fault.
He crossed the line with a pressure warning light still
lighting up on his dashboard, but then discovered that there's
a software error and not actually anything wrong with his
tire pressures. Therefore, I suspect his tire actually end up
being overpressure because he was trying to put more force

(01:13:10):
through it, which may have slowed him down to the
point that he lost a bunch of more positions.

Speaker 2 (01:13:14):
Yeah, exactly that if you can only go by the
information you get, and sometimes it's wrong. So unfortunately, these
are machines and they're not completely bomb proof. Things do
go wrong, and this is just one of those unfortunate things.

Speaker 1 (01:13:32):
Yeah, and that's not the end of the story of
things that tire pressure, because as soon as the sprint
was finished, Mark among others, was under investigation from race
control for being under pressure. And we've seen this before.
If someone is under investigation for being under pressure, they
were under pressure and they are about to get pedalwy y.
But this time it was realized that Race Control had

(01:13:55):
not input the correct pressure values into their systems. They
had set the pressure values to high I suppose for
the race, which led us down to the path of
discovering that the pressures set by Michelin are actually different
for each circuit, and not the same across every weekend

(01:14:16):
as we had previously believed.

Speaker 2 (01:14:18):
Nope, no, I guess that makes sense because each circuits different.

Speaker 1 (01:14:23):
But surely, if this is a safety thing, the tire
has to be a certain pressure, like it's a relevant
of what forces are going through it, because all that's
going to do is change the tire pressures. If it's
a circuit that requires high forces to go through it,
then the pressures are going to go up in the
tire more so, maybe you set it slightly lower to
start with. But this is a safety thing, so surely

(01:14:44):
the pressures are supposed to be the same regardless. But
that's not seemingly the case here. This has just got
very convoluted and very confusing, and I'm quite looking forward
to Michelin not being the tire st plier in twenty
thirty seven so we can get rid of this bullshit.

Speaker 2 (01:15:00):
Yeah, me too. This sounds like a lot of waffle
for a lot of not anyone understanding what the bloody
hell's going on.

Speaker 1 (01:15:07):
Yeah quite. I think you need like a a degree
in Yeah, there's tire construction to really understand what the
fuck this is all about.

Speaker 2 (01:15:17):
Yeah. Yeah, this is one of those situations where you're
stood at work, the boss has explained it three times,
you still got that expression on your face of got
fucking clue what you just said, and you're just nodding, yeah, mate,
Yeah we'll do that.

Speaker 1 (01:15:30):
Yeah, you're like, but what do I have to do?

Speaker 2 (01:15:33):
Yeah, explain when the light?

Speaker 1 (01:15:35):
When the light does something, I have to do something right?

Speaker 2 (01:15:38):
Yeah, when do we do?

Speaker 1 (01:15:39):
Okay, I don't need to know why because I don't
understand why. Just tell me what I have to do.
And when I don't want to know any more than.

Speaker 2 (01:15:45):
That, Yeah, no, brain it for me. Literally Layman's terms,
give it to be simple exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:15:53):
Yeah. Quite, But yeah, so that was it. Tire pressures
have got more confusing than we thought they were. Again,
this isn't Michelin's fault. I say, I'm looking forward to
Michelin being gone, but I still don't blame Michelin for
this problem, because this is, as we have said all along,
this is motor Gypie's fault, and this is the team's
fault for not testing the fucking new tires when they

(01:16:14):
should have done. They've made their own bed with this
and it's time to lay in it, and as fans,
unfortunately we all have to lay in it with them.

Speaker 2 (01:16:23):
That is the trouble. It affects us all. So yeah,
one of those things.

Speaker 1 (01:16:29):
One of those things.

Speaker 2 (01:16:30):
I was just checking out the women's football score on
this coming from the other room. I don't think it's finished. Yeah,
one nil Spain.

Speaker 1 (01:16:40):
That's not what I wanted to hear, you say, Steve.

Speaker 2 (01:16:43):
No, maybe Germany fresh semi finals? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:16:49):
When did they do it then? And did they do
it in normal time?

Speaker 2 (01:16:52):
No extra time? One hundred and thirteenth minute?

Speaker 1 (01:16:56):
Ah? Yeah, okay, so it was an extra time. That's annoying.
I didn't want to go up against Spain in the finals.

Speaker 2 (01:17:01):
No. No Spain versus England final on Sunday.

Speaker 1 (01:17:06):
Yeah, okay, well that is quite exciting. I'm looking forward
to that.

Speaker 2 (01:17:09):
I'm going out. It would be unbearable in here.

Speaker 1 (01:17:16):
I think it'd be fun. Man, It's gonna be a
fun game no matter what. Much like, I just super
stoked that England keep making it through the finals. I'm
super stoked with the women's team and actually legitimately look
like whoa, they have a good chance of winning again.
But it's exciting when the men's team do it because
they've been getting better and better as well, and they've
been making it through the finals, so it's just exciting.

(01:17:37):
We're in a really good time for English football right now.
And yeah, it's just great to be getting too finals
and enjoying this success.

Speaker 2 (01:17:45):
Yeah, yes, it is. That is true. It's just when
you live with a very enthusiastic football fan, it's a
little bit scary sometimes.

Speaker 1 (01:17:55):
That's fair. That's probably fair. And I tell you what,
my I adore Chloe Kelly. I think she is just amazing.
She's just a fantastic football player. I just adore her.
I think she's amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:18:10):
Uh she's the one that scored the penalty or took
the penalty.

Speaker 1 (01:18:13):
She's the one that took the penalty. I just love
how cocky she comes across. I think it's fantastic. I
think I just yeah, I just think that the whole
team seem lovely and all of them just seem like lovely,
lovely human beings, and it's just great watching these really
wholesome celebrations afterwards of them just singing and dancing and

(01:18:35):
having a great time and celebrating in a way that
men's football teams don't celebrate in like's just there's just
none of this kind of ridiculous manliness obviously, so it's
just a really wholesome, fun celebration. And then you get
someone like Chloe Kelly who comes across as a bit
cocky and a bit arrogant. After she scored a goal

(01:18:56):
and her celebrations, you look at her like that was
a very much like she's got a big head on
those shoulders. But it's yeah, it's just fantastic. I just
I love it. I love it. I'm really really enjoying
women's football right now.

Speaker 2 (01:19:09):
Yeah, it's very good. It is very good. I quite
like watched it. Sarah loves it, so you know, we
watch it.

Speaker 1 (01:19:18):
Back to the Motor GP though, Steve, Yes, now we've
done our tangent for how well England are doing the football.
I feel like that's been quite a good tangent over
the last few years as we've managed to get round
to that and watch it for all results and just
chat about England doing well. But you know, we'll return
to normal for everyone listening to us from abroad. We'll

(01:19:38):
celebrate it while we can because we know full well
that England don't carry on this run of form for WI.
It's been longer than I expected. So yes, I'm just
gonna bask in it for now.

Speaker 2 (01:19:49):
Yeah, exactly that. We hype it up. We make it
bigger than what it is. We release songs and you know,
have big parties and.

Speaker 1 (01:19:59):
Every year we say football's coming home.

Speaker 2 (01:20:02):
And then sometimes it does. If you buy one day.

Speaker 1 (01:20:07):
I think it's come home twice.

Speaker 2 (01:20:10):
Yeah, I think that's it. But is hype training me
like a bit of hype train?

Speaker 1 (01:20:16):
Yeah? Quite, but yes anyway, Moto GP Grand Prix, Yes,
the top five in the Grand Prix looked like this.
Fifth place was Rau finand happy with this one. What
a great showing. Raul has been coming on strong. Recent

(01:20:36):
progress is happening.

Speaker 2 (01:20:38):
Yes, yes, it really is. It's quietly creeping up there
and you know, and these little weird mixed conditions. He
did well, did very well showcase what he could do.
I'm hopeful. I'm hopeful that this is not going to
be his highest result of the year, but could be

(01:21:00):
a regular position for him at the odd road. I
don't think he's absolutely happy, but it's a good show.

Speaker 1 (01:21:09):
Yeah, And I mean you only have to look at
his finishing positions over the season to see there is
progression now.

Speaker 2 (01:21:15):
Very goodssion progression up.

Speaker 1 (01:21:19):
Yeah, quite what was it a retirement in Thailand? Then
a fifteenth or twelfth, seventeenth, fifteenth, seventh, twelfth, tenth, seventh, eighth, ninth, fifth,
And he also got six in the sprint at this weekend,
so it's clear he's getting closer to the front now.
And I have said many times I think the Fernandez

(01:21:40):
experiment has run its course. But I'm beginning to see
light at the end of the tunnel. And I'm pretty
happy he managed to hold onto his manager PC because
I think the guy we saw absolutely crush it in
Moto two could still be in there.

Speaker 2 (01:21:55):
Yeah, it's definitely still in there. I think he's just
a slow burn when it's come to Motor GV. Maybe
the jump was too big for whatever reason.

Speaker 1 (01:22:04):
Because he'd only done a single season in Moto too.
Probably I think he probably came up a little bit early.
I came up on a KTM that was a brutal
bike to come onto a rookie hell.

Speaker 2 (01:22:14):
Of a machine to suddenly step onto. So he's not
the easiest run. Like I say, now on an improving
a Prillier. The guy seems to be finding his form
and there's a good team he's backed by as well,
So you know, all seems well in the Fernandoes camp
at the minute.

Speaker 1 (01:22:30):
Yeah, absolutely fourth place. Then in this one, Steve was
Peco bag Nia. He had a better GP than sprint,
but still not where he needs to be, and he
now sits one hundred and sixty eight points behind his
teammate in the standings.

Speaker 2 (01:22:46):
At this point in time, I think he's already realized
this is a done deal. You know, he's not catching up.

Speaker 1 (01:22:54):
So he's absolutely not catching up. The gap, Oh my god.
I've just looked at the points tallies. So one hundred
and sixty eight points is the gap between Mark Marquez
and Peckabagnia. Right now, there are only three riders in
the championship that have scored more than one hundred and
sixty eight points this season, right that is Peca Bagner,
Alex Marquez and Mark Marquez. So Mark Oberzeki there and

(01:23:18):
fourth is one hundred and fifty six points. That's wild.
The gap between third and first is bigger than the
gap between last and fourth.

Speaker 2 (01:23:30):
Uh huh. Yeah, it is massive, insurmountable. At this point,
this has got to be a I don't know, management
season now for PECO. If you can't beat your teammate,
you've got to be the next best person on track,
you know. The next logical thing is to surpass Alex Marquez.

Speaker 1 (01:23:54):
Yeah, what's the gap between them? Ah, let me smaller
than it was? Yeah, still forty it's closed, but not
seven forty eight points.

Speaker 2 (01:24:07):
Yeah, it's doable in terms of this. Alex has shown
his weakness over the last few races, so it's doable.
But that's got to be the next objective for PECO.
Second of the championship, that's all.

Speaker 1 (01:24:21):
It's got to be the only objective.

Speaker 2 (01:24:23):
Yeah, that's the one. That's all that could be, and
he needs to keep pushing for it. So it's not
unfeasible at all, but tough. It's still gonna be tough.

Speaker 1 (01:24:34):
Yeah, I still do You know what though I can't
see him taking second. I cannot see him beating Alex
Marquez in a straight fight. The only way he does
if is Alex Marquez does what he's been doing in
the last few rounds and beats himself.

Speaker 2 (01:24:47):
Yeah, that is it, That really is it. But we've
seen that you can do it. Alex Marquez can crash out,
he can injure himself, so it's doable. Peco, I think,
is all lower. You're clutching on straws and you're relying
on somebody else. You've just got hope for someone else's
misfortune at this point. Yeah, which is a show.

Speaker 1 (01:25:12):
But it's quite interesting though, isn't it when you look
at like Peco last year, we do you have like
ten DNFs or something over the season and lost points
takes to that He's only d NF one or two
races this year. Like his DNF rate is much lower
than last year. Yeah, but his points tally is also
much lower, which is quite interesting. It's average so much lower. Yeah, exactly,

(01:25:37):
it's weird.

Speaker 2 (01:25:38):
It's just been a fantastic year for the markets boys. Yeah,
quite just can't take it with that form at the
start of the season is what's done, it really is.
And then races like this where Pecko's what dropping nine
points the markets all the time, way more if you
count the sprints.

Speaker 1 (01:26:01):
Yeah, world, more than nine points. What did you gain
for finishing fourth? Fourteen points? Four thirteen points? He stopped
twelve points just in the Grand Prix?

Speaker 2 (01:26:10):
Yeah, exactly, twelve points plus seventh in the sprint. So
not good, not good at all at this point. Management
and aim for Alex Marquez onslaught.

Speaker 1 (01:26:25):
But there we go, Poor old Peco, Poor old Peco.
Third place in this one. Then Steve was Pedro a
Costa rounds off a fantastic weekend with another podium, and
after all the news about Pedro Pedro and KTM sort
of falling out, this is a great way to try
and rebuild some of those bridges.

Speaker 2 (01:26:44):
Yeah, especially seeing as what the new CEO of KATM
was there this weekend. I forget the fellow's name. He
spent a lot of time on camera talking to pit Byra. Yeah,
great way to impress. If you're going to make jokes
and remarks about your future and you need to build
some bridges, what better way to draw attention to yourself
and a couple of podiums.

Speaker 1 (01:27:04):
Exactly, and again, much like Basiunini. If he can continue
this form into Austria for home race, then things they're
still looking pretty good between Pedro and kat m.

Speaker 2 (01:27:17):
Yeah exactly, exactly. I think it'll be fine, I really do.

Speaker 1 (01:27:23):
Yeah, yeah, me too. And that bike, I don't know.
That bike seems to just work around Bruno. But maybe
that's good news, and maybe that's going to be a
step moving forward to the rest of the season.

Speaker 2 (01:27:32):
We can only hope that for the latter yes, quite.

Speaker 1 (01:27:35):
Yeah, it's a big maybe. Second place in this one
then was Marco Bozeki, another rider whose great run of
form is continuing, and he is now up to fourth
in the championship and closing down Bagnier in third faster
actually than Bagnia is closing down Alex Marquez. So this
could end up being a fun three way back off

(01:27:56):
the second if Alex keeps making errors.

Speaker 2 (01:27:59):
Yes, it's it's just looking n say nice. But Zeki's
having a great time at the minute, you know, wells
looking very rosy for him at the minute, especially for
Loo and like I say, closing down Peco and third
in the championship and then closing down second in Alex,
So yeah, all feasible like you say, it could be
a nice three way battle for second in the championship

(01:28:21):
come the end of the season, which would be really
good to see because it looks like we're gonna have
a runaway championship winner.

Speaker 1 (01:28:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:28:27):
Quite, we need something to look forward to, so second
place championship.

Speaker 1 (01:28:31):
It is, yes, exactly. And yeah, speaking of runaway championship winners,
mart Marquez did go and win this race, breaking even
more records. At this weekend, He's now the only leader
catty rider ever to win five races on the spin
and once again looked untouchable after the first handful of laps.
It just is stupid how much better he seems to

(01:28:53):
be than everyone else.

Speaker 2 (01:28:54):
It is. It just goes to show how good he
is after all the Drew set backs years off riding
a Honda, when he came back to now jump on
a bike and then only his second season on, it
has just flown. Yeah, this guy is incredible. There's a
lot more yet to come from here. I am sure. Well,

(01:29:17):
just keep going the sea, I mean, championships you can get.
Let me say already, Rider g CASTI rider to win
five on the bounce, closing down the all time winning
records round after round. There's there's more come yet. This
guy is not going to love him or hate him.
You are living through the Marquez goat era.

Speaker 1 (01:29:37):
Yeah, we are watching Mark Marquez on the march towards
at least ten championships. I think yes, at least do
you think, Sorry, Karen.

Speaker 2 (01:29:48):
I was gonna say, if you're ROSSI set at home,
you are biting your fingernails.

Speaker 1 (01:29:53):
Yeah, I think you might be answer.

Speaker 2 (01:29:55):
Your next question next year.

Speaker 1 (01:29:59):
Next next well for the win totals. Yep, that wasn't
gonna be my next question. But that's interesting. You think
it'll be next year? How is he twenty odd points off?
Twenty odd wins off? It might be stay less than
that now, it might be nineteen wins off.

Speaker 2 (01:30:11):
Think there's nineteen wins now, But yeah, that'd be all.

Speaker 1 (01:30:16):
Oh it's going to be tight though, isn't it. It would
need this run of form to really continue for the
rest of the year, and then he probably wins another
eight races, so yeah, it probably is doable by the
end of the next year. You're probably right.

Speaker 2 (01:30:31):
Yeah, I think he'll wrap both up next year. Ten
titles all time'rre in record moved to Suzuki just yeah,
the last few days pooling around at the back of
the grid, Suzuki go for a triumphant return.

Speaker 1 (01:30:49):
When do you think he wins this year's title? Though?
This has been quite a talking point over the.

Speaker 2 (01:30:53):
Yeah, this is a talking point. I don't know. He's
not it's not completely superhuman. He can make mistakes. I
want to say, I need to bring the calendar up,
so I've got it exactly in front of me. What's
the fourth race from the end.

Speaker 1 (01:31:12):
Of the season, Philip Island.

Speaker 2 (01:31:15):
I'm going to go Phillip Island.

Speaker 1 (01:31:19):
So while we were off, when we were on the break,
I said to you, I was doing some quick maths.
I think it's going to be before Philip Island. So
Philip Island, he's currently got one hundred and twenty point gap.
If Philip Island is four rounds before the end of

(01:31:43):
the year, yeah, so then that would give him four
times thirty seven is one hundred and forty eight points.
So he only needs one hundred and forty eight point gap,
leaving well going into Philip Island actually to have already
won the championship. So yeah, I think he does it
before then. I think what's the times five hundred and

(01:32:04):
eighty five points. I could see that being pretty good.
So the fifth race one two, three, four five. I
think he does it in Japan, the first of the Flyaways.

Speaker 2 (01:32:16):
Yeah, I'm alone to slip up one year.

Speaker 1 (01:32:21):
I'm going to Japan or Indonesia, maybe Indonesia to be conservative,
but I think he's going to get it done in Japan.

Speaker 2 (01:32:27):
Yeah, it's going to be early in the season, quite early.
So yeah, it's not going to be if somehow we're
coming down to the title decider in Valencia. Something big
has gone.

Speaker 1 (01:32:40):
Wrong, fucking stupid's happened if it's gone down to Valencia, exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:32:45):
No way are we heading to Spain for a title
decider this year.

Speaker 1 (01:32:50):
Absolutely, he's wrapping it up in the Flyaways, I think,
so between Japan and Malaysia he'll wrap it up. But yeah,
I think it's I think he'll be on the first one.
I think he's gonna win everything in Japan and that
will be enough to seal the deal.

Speaker 2 (01:33:05):
Yeah, I think you're right.

Speaker 1 (01:33:09):
It could be before then. If the cards fall in
his favor, he could have it done before the Flyaways
and have it done in Mazano. But that's only four
rounds from now.

Speaker 2 (01:33:17):
Yeah, it really is. Where are we this hungry? Next
round is Austria Austrian do.

Speaker 1 (01:33:24):
You CASTI circuit like whatever? That's probably gonna be a
Mark Marquez win, Hungry.

Speaker 2 (01:33:30):
Who the fuck knows what's going to happen in hungry
Marques Camino.

Speaker 1 (01:33:39):
It's a bit more up in the air.

Speaker 2 (01:33:40):
That one's a lot Japan Marque is Yeah, yeah, I
don't know. It's gonna be Japan, Indonesia or Philip Island.

Speaker 1 (01:33:50):
Really is.

Speaker 2 (01:33:51):
Yeah, it's gonna be one of those three. If we
get to Malaysia and he's not won it, something's.

Speaker 1 (01:33:57):
Got a wrong, Yeah, exactly. Weird's happened by then it
will be Yeah, you're right, it's either going to be
I think it's going to be Mazanna or Japan. But yeah,
if it's anything up to Australia, that seems pretty good.
But if it's after Australia, then something weird's happened.

Speaker 2 (01:34:14):
Yeah, exactly that. But we will have to wait and see.

Speaker 1 (01:34:19):
And this is the joy of motor racing, mate. Weird
things can happen.

Speaker 2 (01:34:22):
They can. That's why it's been a little bit conservative.

Speaker 1 (01:34:25):
Yeah, we will see.

Speaker 2 (01:34:27):
We will have to sit back nicely and see exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:34:32):
So Steve, let's take one more quick break and then
when we come back, there's just a few more MOTORIPED
talking points I want to touch on before we recap
our predictions and enter the show. Take a quick break,
good stuff, So guys, bear with us for just one
moment and we will be right back with you. Thank

(01:35:06):
you for bearing with us. We are back bad as
our empty drinks are empt tea and we are ready
to continue with the last few Moto GP talking points. Yes,
we are so off the top is Steve Spargo was back.
He was in replacing Marrick Vinalees and he looked fast.

(01:35:28):
I know the ktms are working well this weekend, but
it was super cool to see Poll back on a
bike and in Q one, challenging to get through to
Q two and then just great in the races.

Speaker 2 (01:35:39):
Yeah, yeah, he looked good. It was good to see
Pole back and it's always nice to see like a
wild colder standing rider who does well. And like you say, yeah,
ktms did go well this weekend, but it was I
bet it was nice for Pole to come back and
just have a good result, not being at the back
of the grid a lonely last.

Speaker 1 (01:35:58):
Yeah, exactly, ninth in the sprint, in the Grand Prix
points hauls in both races. Just a really solid result
from Paul. I think it was super cool to see
him back and doing well.

Speaker 2 (01:36:08):
Yes, yeah, exactly that mate.

Speaker 1 (01:36:09):
I was stoked for him, I'll tell you what, though,
it is a shame that it came at the expense
of Maverick Vineyaralz in a weekend where the KATM was
working well and the track that maybe will have really
suited Maverick Vineyaralz, like Maverick could have been really quite
special this weekend. I think I don't think he'd have
been challenging Mark. However, I do think he may have

(01:36:31):
been challenging Pedro and may well have beaten an Air.

Speaker 2 (01:36:36):
Yeah possibly. If you're him watching at home, you're probably quite.

Speaker 1 (01:36:40):
Gutted, Yeah, I imagine.

Speaker 2 (01:36:43):
So, Yeah, but there we are. That's racing. That's how
these things pan out. Yeah. But still all round, good
for Paul.

Speaker 1 (01:36:51):
Yeah, yeah quite Juai Martin then Steve, we spoke about
him a lot at the top. Obviously, he didn't get
into the top five, so we didn't really talk about it.
But he scored an eleventh place in the Sprint and
a seventh in the Grand Prix for his first points
of the year. And this was much much better than
I expected from the reigning champion on just his first

(01:37:11):
full race weekend of the season and only the second
time he's actually raced like this. Was really impressive.

Speaker 2 (01:37:18):
Yeah, it really was. The guy had all things contivied.
He had a fantastic weekend. It shows what he's made of,
you know, to come back from a big injury. I'd
say only the second time he's ever really raced this
bike and he's scored points are good points as well though. Yeah,
this guy must be very, very stoked.

Speaker 1 (01:37:36):
After this quiet I'm almost certain there will be podiums
on the cards in the second half of the season
for him, and I think while he's GPIE is a
good bet to try and get into your fantasy squad.

Speaker 2 (01:37:46):
Yeah. Yes, he will probably be a good one to
nick in there at some point. So yeah, happy days
for him.

Speaker 1 (01:37:53):
Yeah quite. I did. Just Look, he's worth two point
five million right now, but I think that's only going
to go up, So if you can afford him now now,
it would be a good time to get him.

Speaker 2 (01:38:01):
Yeah, I think that's a good trade.

Speaker 1 (01:38:06):
What else have we got here? Alex Marquez doing a
mark Now this was fun. After crashing out at the
end of practice, Alex was in eleventh place with barely
ten minutes on the clock to get back to the
pits and try and get a top ten time. So
from the gravel trap, he legged it over to the

(01:38:26):
first scooter he saw, but as he approached it, he
realized wasn't just anyone scooter. It was Peco Bagnaia's dad's scooter,
so he saw, I think Pietro is the guy's name.
He saw Pietro on top of the scooter and decided
not to take it. He said he does have a
very good relationship with Peco's dad, but he just didn't

(01:38:46):
want to put him in an awkward situation because the
two riders are currently in a battle for second in
the championship.

Speaker 2 (01:38:51):
Yes they are.

Speaker 1 (01:38:53):
However, it didn't take long for Alex to get a ride,
but this ride could not take him all the way
back to the pits in time because there are parts
of the outer road that scooters aren't allowed to use,
So Alex got a lift part way, had to drop
off the scooter run through part of the outer road
that you're not allowed to ride through and try to
get another scooter the other side. But the first person

(01:39:15):
he asked said no, So then he looked around. He
spotted a bike with keys in it, and rather than
just ask and risks being told no again, he just
jumped straight off it, on it and disappeared. So after that,
he made it back to the box on time, ran
straight through without talking to anyone, jumped onto his number

(01:39:35):
two bike, which the team already had set up and
waiting to go, and managed to get through into the
top ten and straight into Q two. This was an
excellent display of speed, adulity, and resourcefulness, not on the
circuit and absolutely something I'm sure Mark was watching with
a big rig on his face, like this is the

(01:39:57):
kind of thing that we expect Mark Marquez to do,
But the fact Alex did it, I think he's super cool.

Speaker 2 (01:40:02):
Yeah, yeah, this was fun to watch. I think everyone
was like, now this isn't going to happen. Now he's
going through Q two, but he just wait for it. Yeah, yeah,
say speed and agility. The guy did not stop and
he's through that pit box. There was no highs Hawaii,
What the hell happened there where boat's really gone and
just went for it. That is dedication. Yeah, I'm sure

(01:40:27):
every every member of that team appreciated it, proud of him.
He should be proud of himself for doing it, and
I'm sure he got pat on the back from everyone
who saw.

Speaker 1 (01:40:39):
Yeah. Absolutely, It's just a shame that after such a
fantastic display his race did not go to the land.
He took out yo Amir where in the Grand Prix
after Mir was running in the top six, Alex very
overly optimistically he said he wasn't going for an overtake

(01:41:02):
and was actually just seeing from would be possible on
a lex lap, but came from a long way back,
crashed in the process and took them both out. Now,
this is at least a fourth time that Mir has
been crashed into this year and nond not at all.
Man can mine with his own tally of DNFs in
Grand Prix. He's up to eight DNFs now, so four
of his own crashes, four times he's been wiped out

(01:41:24):
by other people like Man. This is very unfortunate.

Speaker 2 (01:41:28):
The guy is like a magnet for other riders that
are going down. Yeah, I mean eight in gral prize
is a lot. The only thing for him to take
away from this is that fifty percent of his crashes
have not been his own fault. It's just pure blinded
bad luck.

Speaker 1 (01:41:42):
And he was in the top six when this happened,
so at least this weekend like he was looking better.

Speaker 2 (01:41:48):
Yeah, yeah, he's definitely improving. It's coming again, hondraaa making
adjustments that are working every now and a. Yeah, it
does feel a little bit like every time he's looking
good he just gets wiped out, which is such a shame.
He must be I don't know, cursed.

Speaker 1 (01:42:06):
It feels like starting to feel that way.

Speaker 2 (01:42:08):
Yeah, it is sad for him to watch, but this
is racing again. This since happened, you can't you can't
judge what everyone else is going to do around you.
So just unfortunate. And it just seems like his luck
is well and truly out for mir at the minute.
But I'm sure it'll come good. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:42:28):
Quite. For his part in the incident, Alex Marquez has
received a long lap penalty.

Speaker 2 (01:42:33):
For the next race. Yes, yes, yeah, he thoroughly deserved.

Speaker 1 (01:42:37):
Actually, stupid, stupid crash. You shouldn't have wiped it out.
So yeah, the long lap penalty was well deserved.

Speaker 2 (01:42:45):
Yes, yes, it is.

Speaker 1 (01:42:48):
The Only other point here I wanted to touch on
is another rider that was taken out by another crashing rider.
Takannakagami has been injured. The standing rider for some cat
Chantra on the Edamitts who sponsored ELSR bike, was ruled
out of the Grand Prix and probably ruled out for
a while after tearing ligament in his knee when he
was taken out by a crashing Augusto Fernandez in the sprint.

Speaker 2 (01:43:11):
All right, ELSI need to find another replacement rider for
the replacement rider.

Speaker 1 (01:43:19):
Yes, quite well. Thankfully the Elisia Spargo is still kicking
around and more than capable of jumping on that bike.
But yeah, this isn't great news because less than ideal
but Chans are already out with a knee injury. Now
Nakagami potentially out with a knee injury. We've seen knee
injuries before. These things take a really long time to hear.

Speaker 2 (01:43:39):
Yeah, this is not going to be a quick comeback.
But like I say, the upside for ELSR is Sparbaro
is there so there is a stand in for the
standing Yeah, we just got hope he STOs on it. It
doesn't jure ligament, Yeah, quite, just another unfortunate incident.

Speaker 1 (01:43:58):
Yeah, exactly. That's kind of the end of the talking
points I want to touch on, steven Es. There's anything
you think I've missed?

Speaker 2 (01:44:06):
No, I don't think Soboddy.

Speaker 1 (01:44:08):
In that case, then let's move on to recap our
predictions for the race weekend, Steve Body. So, for anyone
that needs the show that has managed to get this far,
Steve and I make predictions about who we think is
going to finish on the podiums for both the sprint
and the Grand Prix of each race weekend, and we
give ourselves points for these three riders, for a point

(01:44:30):
in the correct position and one point if a rider
is on the podium but in the incorrect positions. So, Steve, yes,
the actual results for the sprint was a Mark Marquez win,
a Pedro a cost The second, and a Neat Bassianini third.
You'll be shocked to hear neither of us got that right.

Speaker 2 (01:44:50):
With Brandon predictions.

Speaker 1 (01:44:53):
Quite I predicted a Mark Marquez win, an Alex Marquez second,
and a Fabio dig Antonio third. I just get three
points for mart Marquez in the correct position. There you
predicted a mart Marquez win and Alex Marquez second and
a Marco Bozeki third. You also just get three points
for Mart Marquez in the correct position the Grand Prix.

(01:45:16):
The actual result was a Mark Marquez win, a Marco
Bozeki second, and a Pedera Acosta third. I predicted a
Mark Marquez win, Alex Marquez second, which is easier that
that one. Yeah, quite, and Patio Corrao third. I just
get three points there for Mark in the correct position.
You predicted a Mark Marquez win and Alex Marquez second,

(01:45:39):
as you do Anna peckabag Nia third. So again to
the just three points for Mark Marquez in the correct
position there. We both only scored points from Mark this weekend.
We both only scored six points on the weekend as
a whole, bringing my tally up from ninety to ninety
six and your tally up from ninety nine to one
hundred and five. I think this might be the first

(01:46:02):
time we've broken triple digits, you know, and you've managed
to do it with half a season to go. So
very well played, sir.

Speaker 2 (01:46:13):
You will closely be following behind.

Speaker 1 (01:46:17):
I hope so, because if not, my predictions are fucked there.
I am predicting like Elisia Spago wins and Augusta Fernandez.

Speaker 2 (01:46:25):
Seconds well in some universes.

Speaker 1 (01:46:31):
In some universes, Steve, but not this one.

Speaker 2 (01:46:33):
Not this one at this point in time. Yeah, we
got there still all to play for though, Bud. It's
halfway out of the season.

Speaker 1 (01:46:42):
Quite my, well my still nine points down, but there's
there's a long way to go.

Speaker 2 (01:46:47):
That's more than doable, quite.

Speaker 1 (01:46:51):
So, Steve. That then does bring us to the end
of this show, and we will touch on the Fantasy
League over the next few weeks. We've got, you know this,
a few weeks of no racing, so a few weeks
are probably shorter shows come in, but we will find
start at all now, Steve.
