Speaker 1 (00:03):
We can get there.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
I don't think we can hear the ice jingling in
your plastic cup there, Steve, I'll try harder, Steve, my
good man. How the devil?

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Are you very good, buddy? How are you?

Speaker 2 (00:14):
I'm very good, my friend. I am admiring the plastic
cup of choice Steve got going on this evening. Oh
that's sponsored by loads of local companies. Is that a
beer fest cup?

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Yes? So I'm drinking bourbon from a local beer fest.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Nice mattress man on the back.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
There, yes, and the North Walsh community shop. Oh wow,
sponsorship literally local as you can get.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Yeah, quite, isn't it?

Speaker 1 (00:38):
Just in the local rugby team on the back with
the Vikings.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Nice there we go.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Yeah, so on the bourbon.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
You're on the bourbon and you've got open fosters there.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
I don't know why I opened it early.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Yeah, you did open it. I do think it was weird,
but saved mine.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
For Yeah, you're wise. How are you man?

Speaker 2 (00:56):
I'm a good mate. I'm good. It's been a hectic
week since we were last that down at this table.
If you stopped, doesn't feel that way. Forget how hectic
it is being back and just doing stuff and trying.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
To disappear for a length of time and then come
back for such a small time.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Everyone's like CB, Yeah quite so. It's a combination of
seeing people selling old ship, just sorting stuff out and
trying to get ready for a few months away. Yes,
it's all been quite the adventures. But we got the bike,
my bike. It's a sad day, but a happy day.
We got it to the shop. We got it up
and running, all service, demoti ready to go. If anyone's

(01:32):
in the market for a Yama half thunder Cat, then
let me know. Yes, so that's getting ready to be
sold now. But it was very nice to hear it
running again. I've got like running in years, so that's the.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
First time I've heard it running. We shoehorned it in
the van. Yeah, got it up there.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Got nice to get it up there using a tiny
little ramp. The brakes and everything.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
They breaks as well. Yeah, we even had a whole
Charie in. Yeah, bring her in like, come on girl.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
It was remarkably easier when the breaks weren't see the
difference that mode was incredible.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Quite yes, Yeah, that was no nice to hear it running.
I did embarrass myself a little bit when I was like,
where which way do your gears go?

Speaker 2 (02:14):
It's okay, mate, I embarrassed myself a bit by leaving
it in gear, so it's fine really with just one
of those things. You're used to old machines, and I
haven't ridden in ages now, so it's one of those things.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah, that was when I looked at you. I was like,
don't flick that bit. That's the break exactly.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Go on, click into gear and you're like, what are
you doing? I was like, gears, hold it down, man, there,
I am stationary, just jabbing with the rear brake.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Yeah, it's it's a modern machine. Steve by your standards for.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Most years, certainly years, but.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah, it's just been pretty hectic. So I'm looking forward
to a race weekend coming this end where I can
just chill and not stress about all of the other
ship that's going on.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Yes, yeah, what time of the race is going to
be on? Actually I can't remember that evening time in
the morning morning of course. It will yeah about three
am for us.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Have you got it there? No, I haven't, Okay, it
will be super early.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Yeah, literal other side of the world for us.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
I wonder if this is the furthest race away from us.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
It is, I believe, Yeah, I believe it is.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Which.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yeah, we're very spoiled over here in Europe for race times.
We get the.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Wet. Yeah, we've spoken about this before for that reason. Yeah,
we're now experiencing what it's like to live in these countries.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
Yeah, to watch it on a Monday morning. So I've
got it here. So the Moto three race for US
in the UK will be on at one a m
Moto two at two point fifteen, and they've go pri
at four a m.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
That's not a bad time, man, that's not a bad time.
I don't hate these really early morning races. Actually I
like the I like making the event out of it,
getting up early watching the race. I quite enjoy that. Yeah,
I won't be getting up to watch through to watch
the cheap.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
That is a commitment because the parade's on at midnight.
So if you could make it through parade, Oh no,
you could commit to it. There's a possibility of seeing
it through, but you will be dead on the Monday
or Sunday.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Maybe I'll think about doing that. What am I doing Saturday?

Speaker 1 (04:15):
You have options? You don't have two kods, No, that's true.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
I feel like I'm doing something Saturday night. I don't
know what it is. See if I can time. Let
me just check my calendar, Steve, this is an interesting
way to podcast.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
This is Tim's now on his phone checking his vast
calendar because he's popular. Popular. Man.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
What we're doing this Saturday? Oh, I'm going to see
Greg for the day.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Very nice.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
So that would be during the day, so then I
can wrap it up, maybe pull a late one, watch
the racing. Going to go meet Greg's mom's new boyfriend,
who's not that new, but she's insistent that I have
to meet him. So that's fun.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
Past judgment.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Everyone else loves him, so I'm sure it'll be fine.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
That would be absolutely fine.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yeah, it's a weird thing. Greg's mom lovely, lovely lady.
I don't know why I'm talking about grossmum so much
on this podcast, but there we go. But yeah, yeah,
she's felt the need to introduce her new man to
all of I spent a lot of time growing up
in Grace's house. Essentially as a teenager. We found there
a lot. We hung out with his family a lot.
So now all of us that were part of that
group and now being like slowly introduced to her new boyfriend.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Extended family, adopted extended family.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Yeah, she actually got a tattoo of a load of
ducks and her six ducks I think in a row.
She's only got three kids. The other three ducks were me,
Greg and Danny of.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Us all fair enough, you did spend a lot of
time around there.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah, I got seven. She got one of Matsy as well.
Must be seven ducks and she's only got three kids,
three kids that we know, maybe there.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Is Seven's secretly tried to let.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
On exactly she's there, like, oh fucking know, I've said
this one's Tim, but actually that's James, my oldest.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Secrets.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah, that's right. Anyway, that's enough for me and my friends.
Let's talk Motor GP show.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
Yes, but there is some news to get through.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
There is. So I'm Tim, He's Steve. And this is
for the love of Moto GP. If you are new
to the show, welcome and if you are returning, welcome back.

(06:23):
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, including our weekend plans and our friend's mum.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Literally a social catch up as well, so you get
a little bit of an insight into our lives as.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Well, exactly. And it's surprising because we've seen each other
a lot this week, Steve, we have we've got next week.
I think we've seen each other a fair amount as
well compared to usual. So and yet we still have
all this shit to talk about. It's now amazing.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
It is friendship, buddy married pub as well. We're in
the pub at some point, are we.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
We're going out at some point. I can't what day
is next week? I think twenty second, that's next week,
that's next week? Is that next Wednesday?

Speaker 1 (07:02):
That could be a next Wednesday?

Speaker 2 (07:03):
Next Wednesday. Yeah, post record is up exactly. That's it.
Two days on the beer on the road then oh dear, yeah,
that'll be me wiped out Thursday. That's going to say,
yeah lot Thursday.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Sam's coming as well.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
So we're doomed. Yes, quite quite so, Steve. We do
have a race this weekend, and it's not just any race,
it's Philip Island being one the only the race that
we wait for every goosebumps mate.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
The anticipation for this one is off the scale quite.
So much happens at Philip Island, from seagulls to wildlife, wildlife,
campos nuts at this one.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
Wildlife cons meant well, sometimes the weather is stupid.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Sometimes it's crazy. Every season, in every five minutes, it's
just nuts and it's produced some of the most epic
racing we've ever seen.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
It's just the best mostcycle racing circuit in the world.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
Yeah, it really is. You always know when Philip Island
is coming up because suddenly that shot of like Marco
Melandry's smoking the rear exact, suddenly a bit is everywhere
on social media. Jack Miller's face is plastered up there
with a wallaby exactly.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
There's always a clip somewhere of head buying a seagull.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
Yeah, he's nuted it mate to quote, I forget the
commentator's name now sorry, he apologize, but whoever he was,
he's poor seagulls like screwn across the track and it's
just such a good racingah. Absolutely, and the fans are nuts.
And you see the riders wrapped up in big jackets
of the locals name shorts and T shirt.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
It's a weird one, isn't it, Because we kind of
have this idea that Australia is always super warm, what's
going on? But it's always a weird microcosm.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Yeah, it's got so microclimate, just a little bit off.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
The coast by wind and like it's yeah, it's kind
of that island vibe. If the weather's bad somewhere, it's
going to be bad on a small island.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yes, exactly, Like it's the brunt. I think the next
stop down is what circle must be at. It's got
to be so. Yeah, they get some epic, weren't they. Yeah,
always this rose is this is the one I will
stay up all night for.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Oh, absolutely mate. And the thing is and I feel
like over the last few years we've said the same thing.
We've got really hype for the race, and then we've gone, oh,
do you know what. It was a really good race
and you put it into the other races of X
season and it was one of the best, but it
wasn't a great Philip Island race.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
No. This We said that a lot this season where
we hype things up. We're doing that very British thing
where we hype everything.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Come on, exactly, I will win the championship this year.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
Yeah, it's been retired for years, it's still gonna win it.
We do this thing where we hype everything that we
build up our anticipations and it's always a fantastic race,
but we always go back to comparingives of those epic
races and if it doesn't live up to the epic
race standard was a bit my name, but it was

(09:52):
still still an incredible race. It's still a nine out
of ten.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
And we've had some banging races this year actually believe
with you know, we'll get onto it. There's a lot
of riders out of action.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
Coming into this one.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
It's all a bit up in the end. It means
how it's going to go.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
It's an unknown again. Yeah, you know, we've had absolute
guaranteed one two turned on its head and now no
one knows. To look at our schools in our own personal.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
League exactly last week fall.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Apart badly for me. But that just goes to show
how unpredictable it is at the minute. And that's a
fantastic thing because it's that unknown. You could sit there
with that baited birth anticipation going what's going to happen?
Five races ago, Mark is one too. Yeah, and we
were literally saying on the show, it's only going to
come down to our personal league about who was in Exactly.

(10:42):
That's a bit boring.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, but that's all changing now, yeah, exactly, which is
a good point. Have you removed Mark Marquess from your
fantasy squad?

Speaker 1 (10:48):
No, I haven't, so everyone that, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Exactly, So i'd recommend moving Mark Marquez and the Casie
Lenovo squad from the fantasy squads.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Yes, ship that man out and don't put If you've
got a boost, really, don't boot.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yeah, you're probably If you've been saving your boost for
Mark Marquez any time for the rest of the year,
I've I'd continue to save it.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
Yeah, yeah, I've got one left.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
So I'd be considering Buzeki this weekend.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
To be honest, I think he's in with a very
good shout this weekend, a very very good shout. I
think there'll be a lot of eyes on him, yeah,
quite straight off, Yeah, a lot of eyes on probably
a costa.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
Well we'll come on to a let's not get too
ahead of ourselves.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
Before we do. Let's go through the news. Yes, So
first up here, Steve Mark Marquez has now been under
the knife again. Well yeah, quite again for Mark Marquez
going under the knife on his right shoulder never well quite,
but this was quite an unexpected announcement from the Catti. Yeah,
it has been confirmed that Mark did have to undergo

(11:47):
surgery for his damaged shoulder, something that all parties involved
had been hoping to avoid. So the plan was to
kind of just to mobilize the joint and let the
healing do its thing. But after a week of mobilization,
the surgeons agreed that the healing process wasn't as they hope,
so obviously to go in and stabilize the bone and
ligaments in order to achieve a better outcome in the
long term. Yes, so that's one of those things you

(12:08):
can't really whatever if the long term outcome is better
doing this, but maybe he's going to have to miss
an extra race or so. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
I was just trying to bring up on social media.
There's a list of the surgeries he's had over the
last few years, mate, and it is a long A
few people shared on social media. I didn't it is
chaotic everything that has happened on that right hand side.
That boy's gonna need some serious visio when he's in
the sixties.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
May that man is going to be ruined in his sixties.
He's going to be popping them open.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
Oh, he's gonna be on opiates. Left, he's pain killer's, pysio,
daily runs, yoga, pilatos.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
Well, thankfully he's made enough money and he's got the
time to do all those things.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
Yeah, bless him. A very good personal mess. So he's
just employed. Yeah, quite stretch this out.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
But you obviously I don't mean you hear the old
racist talk about this. It's just they're just battered and
just pain.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah. You see some of them walking like they're often
around the paddock. Can you look at a few of
them limping and maybe their arms aren't quite held in
a position. Yeah, it should be holding the mic and
the pinkies up. Well, you know, I could sip in
a cup of tea here exactly.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Oh yeah, smashal ligaments and fingers.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
I have a feeling that my entire right side. Excuse
me if I wet myself.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
I promise that was because of old injuries, not just
because of my age. Yeah, come on, come on.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
No longer sponsored by ten men.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
The good news here, though, is that with this surgery
the surgeons have confirmed that the new injury has not
had any effect on the previous injuries to marks right
the shoulder. So yeah, like obviously we all saw it,
we all saw go down. We also we thought was
him popping his shoulder back into place, but clearly that
wasn't or maybe he was doing that, but maybe he
just felt a lot of pain there.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
Probably associated it to click put it back in. That
is in that kind of region right at the top
of the shoulder blade, so it probably felt like it
was right there. Yeah, quite Yeah, so that's a bonus
not affecting the old surgery.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
It's quite amazing, actually, isn't it That it hasn't affected
anything else down. I guess it's higher than the other
who's higher, But the fact that even the impact didn't
do anything.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
To it, that's true.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
And they say sometimes you know the bone that's healed
is actually strong.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yeah, knitted together. That's a good point. Actually, it's quite
a good point.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
And he would have pushed it hard. I know when
my brother smashed his femurs to bits and it was
his fing was sticking out of his thigh. Yeah, he's
got a wicked scar. He'sied, but he had. The physio
came around like a week or so afterwards, and even
because it was pinned, he didn't have the cast or
anything on it, so he just had this really fat,
small thig. It was brutal, But the physio came around.

(14:49):
I was like, oh, yeah, yeah, you're doing okay. He's like,
I would recommend if you can put up with the
pain as soon as you can start hopping on that leg.
He's like, he's the Phvisio himself said if this was me,
I'd be taking painkills and do that. He like the
way that they're the force they push the bones knit together,
compacts it, I guess exactly, and really speed up the
healing crosis, but also make it stronger and marks opening

(15:11):
windows like fucking crazy. I just smashed his arm, so
definitely put that arm through its paces. So I imagine
it he would really well eventually.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
It just when you think about it, you know, you
talk about your brother hopping on a smashed femur, and
like we're seeing these guys broken angle, Yeah, and you
think about it wincing, stupid, stupid. Yeah, I've never really
broken that much. Fingers toes cracked, a color bone, cracked

(15:40):
a rib but nothing big, no big bones.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
I've never broken well, I have broken ribs, but I
was so fucked what was going on with those? But
I imagine a rib is a nasty one because it's
always moving, yeah, always doing something.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
I cracked the fourth one day on the right side,
just like whacking into something. And every time I breathed
down and you couldn't breathe them deeply and or bend
down too much. But a full break, I couldn't imagine
what that was like.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
This just got a floating bit of Yeah, this is.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
Just niggling constantly like an a. He sort of punched
in the ribs like a proper couple of broken ribs
must be awful, Like what this year it must.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
Have been that was punched long as well collapsed long
punch it or collapse? I think it was collapse, wasn't
I think it was collapsed. That would be the impact
of just slamming around.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
When you sort of think about it, you look at
the X rays and some of these guys and you
think what you've gone through and the speed at which
they want to come back. I know they get the
best medical treatment in the world, but the dedication to
push through this pain and get healed up isn't quite admirable.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
I think we're seeing it a step change there. I
think since Mark Marquez, I think there's been quite an
effort by a lot of riders to not come back
to it.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
That's a good point, actually.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
I mean, okay, that might change if we're in a
mark market situation again. I know this is someone's fighting
for a championship, in a championship battle, then we will
see the old thirteen, both Lorenzo.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
And shot Lorenzo in that garage after the race on Sunday,
which is like thirteen.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
Yeah, fifth or sixth or something before.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
That's just to say, I mean the push for these guys.
I know that that shows how monstrous they are and
the dedication. But long term, if that was you and
I and we just come out of surgery, but right, six.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
Weeks and that's the mad thing because it is like
a lot of these injuries are weeks, if not months now.
I mean, Maverick Nard is talking about his shoulder injury
and he was saying like, yeah, everyone's saying a nine
month recovery from.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
This, Yeah, that's just nuts. I know, the hyperbaric chambers
they've got the best treatment in the world. You're physically
forced it almost physically forced in your body to heal quicker.
And all right, it's your job at the end of
the day. And that's what they do and love and
they're passionate about they're put in the bodies for the rigo.
What is essentially their career are entertainment.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
Yeah, quite.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
A physiotherapist over here in the UK, if that was
for your job would say, right, slow.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Down, you're signed off, Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
Stop. You know these guys don't get that option.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
No, well they sort of do.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
They kind of do, but to any extent because they've
got that contracted kind of rhythm to go through.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
So I know there's.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
Definitely a culture though, whether the guys are not coming
back as quick as.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
Yeah, it seems to be. And like it seems like
with mar team Mark, Mark is saying, oh yeah, I
got on the phone to him. I was I don't
rush back. You don't fund yourself over here. So you've
kind of got Mark as this not only is she
just an absolute boss on a motorcycle, but he's kind
of taken its seemingly taking kind of this statesman type
role in.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
One of the oldest on the grid so and probably
been for the most the most experienced on there.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
Absolutely, he's like probably saying this head kind of ownership
across all of them. It's like just it's not fucking
worth it, mate. Yeah, I've won seven titles, trust me,
I know what I'm talking about. You've only got one?

Speaker 2 (18:57):
Yeah, you lot of Lorenza. No, no, sorry, sorry, I
don't actually remember names unless you want at least three.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
World titles unless you're in my exclusive club of the
Motor GP Premiere.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
Yeah. So yeah, that's Mark. There's no confirmation when he'll return.
It's fully confirred. He will be out of Philip Island
and we don't know whether he's going to come back
football to Maw or whether he'll just hang on to
Valencia and you know, just do the final round of
the year and then did the Test. Would be probably

(19:32):
what i'd expect. I'd expect him face it as well.
Portu Maw a track that you're a bit injured and
maybe a little bit tense riding around.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
Probably not the best one to go down on. You
go down over that waterfall style.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
Some scary places to crash your.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
Oh god, yeah, yeah, if if I was him, you've
already wrapped the title up quite let's not worry about it.
Let's come back to Valencia. Let's do the test and
we'll come at it next year.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
Strong exactly, And Valencia, apart from Phillip Island, Valencia is
probably even with the Pine and actually Valency is probably
Mark's strongest track. Yeah, so left. I don't know what
the stats if the starts better out, but.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
I think in my head, I feel like, yeah, off
the top of my head, he's had good results at Valencia,
so I aim to come back for that one. Yeah,
work on your recovery, that brighton side, taking a better
in this just limit I have a bit of time off,
go sailing and just quite go.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
You know what, maybe for once Mark can spend his
weekends going to his girlfriend's job and can just go
and spectate why she does whatever models do for a living.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
I have absolutely no idea what.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
Up and down the catwalk because I think she's a model,
but that's actually much of model's jobs anymore, or whether
a lot of it is kind of just photo shoots
and online stuff. I don't know. I'm not degrading the job.
I think it's it's not an important job, but neither
is motorcycle racing, to be fair, But it's a very
good job. It's a hard job. I think it's off overlooked.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
As probably a very pressurized job.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
Yeah, exactly, and it's a it's a job that much,
to be fair, much like all of these guys who
have to stay in tiptop shape like proper elite level
athletes to be to ride these motorcycles. For most models,
you've got to stay in fucking tiptop shape. There's not
that many plus sized modeling gigs kicking about looking after
yourself and looking really trim and neat all the time.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
I have no idea what she does.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
She's a model or she an influencer. I think she's
a model.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
At the works.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
I just want the boyfriend mars. I don't google it.
That's okay, I'm about to google these things. Jemma Patino,
she's a publicist. She's not even a model. I've just
made that out completely.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
Well we've got the power of editing.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
Yeah, well we're not going to that, So there we go.
Mark can go and just hang out with her while
she's publicizing things. Cool, what power couple, mate. But then
that's true. These people in there, like they're all in
power couples, successful people. If you're a very beautiful successful
per person, you're going to end up with a very
beautiful successful person. Yeah, just sort of how.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
I saw a stick of photo firm in the other
day sitting on I don't know where it was, someone
like a lounger somewhere that was just shorts on, absolutely
chiseled phy z and I looked down. It was like,
you made me fucking sick. Mate.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
Yeah, he's still twenty those dave. He's not put on
his beer fat yet.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
That's true. That makes me feel better, That makes me
feel about Way do you hit forty four? Mate? You
can't just go to the gym three times a week.
You've got to go nineteen.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
Yeah, you end up looking at Ronaldo does these days?

Speaker 1 (22:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (22:33):
Not Christiano Ronaldo. The other one.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
Oh yeah, that one, the Brazilian football What was his
first name? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
I did Carlos's.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
I have no idea. I don't know football is Hang on, Sarah.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
It's all right, I got google Renaldo Roberto. Hang on
a minute, I think Ronaldo might be his first name. Weirdly,
Ronaldo has.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
Just gone terrible. I shouldn't give any that bourbon.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yeah, that's fair. Yeah, Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lema is
his full name. But I don't know whether I kind
of did that with Spanish pronunciation, so I could be
very wrong with how you actually say that. But yeah,
it's weird. That's Ronaldo is his first name, and that
was on the back of his shirt, and we well
just called him Ronaldo. That's not a football player thing.

(23:29):
That's weird.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
I'm sure some football players do that. Hang on, I
need back up here. Where's monkey?

Speaker 2 (23:36):
You might?

Speaker 1 (23:37):
I might? All right, I'll be back. I'll get the
whiskey at the same time.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
Okay, well, I'll keep talking while Steve's did his things here.
So yeah, as we say mar Marquez, we don't know
when he's going to be back. It turns out our
football expert in the house is not actually here. Steve's
limping away. Steve hurt's leg. He walked into a bollard
that Sayingsbury's earlier. So it's not the not the best look,
is it. We could make something up if we could
say you were rescuing a bus full and awfen nuns

(24:02):
from a shark. Infested lake or something. But if you
didn't hear that, he was doing so manly and epic.
It was walking out of Sainsbury's. So yeah, well played
and walked into a quote fucking Ballard. So that's it.
Now Steve's back. He's not got the football information we required.
He does have a whiskey and the the big whiskey

(24:28):
fans out there and connoisseurs you might be a little
bit offended by this, but he is drinking his whiskey
with lemonade.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
I would be no, yeah, all right, yeah, I shall
text the football expert and find out.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
Okay, while you do that, let's move on and we'll
come back to the Ronaldo football chat. So Piro is
in for Mark Marquez this weekend, so obviously Pierro do
Cattes go to test replacement rider. He's not had a
Motor GP racer this year, which would have marked it
as the first year since something like twenty eleven, I think,

(25:03):
since he's not had a motorgp outing in a season.
But thanks to Mark's injury, Pierro will be there. But
that's as far as the replacement announcement has gone. We
know Mark won't be back in Sepang, but who is
to replace him as yet to be announced. Now there
are rumors that Nicolo Boulega is in the frame for

(25:24):
the Malaysian GP, but not for Philip Island due to
a World super Bike clash. But to be honest, I
can't actually see Boulega coming in to replace Marquez for Sepang,
because unless he has an absolutely torrid penultimate round of
the World super Bike season in esther Rill, he will
go into the final round of the World super Bike

(25:45):
season in Hereth with at least a chance of winning
the title and risking injury or just confusing him with
a week of Old super Bike followed by a week
of Moorgp followed by what could be a title deciding
week of World Superbike seems like a bad idea to me.
So I think it's unlikely we're going to see bou Legger.
If we see Boulegger, it will be after the final

(26:07):
World sup by ground.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
I think Bulegger has taken it to to Reth. He's
taking the challenge to wreath. So yeah, oh has that
already been? Yeah? It was this weekend?

Speaker 2 (26:18):
Well shit, okay, so okay, cool? Right?

Speaker 1 (26:21):
In that case, the top rac one two one one
stretching it's think off the top of.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
My head, do we know if Bulegger won this? He
won the third race, so that's a full length race,
and that's a full twenty five points. What's the super
Bowl race worth?

Speaker 1 (26:36):
I don't know, but I believe the gap is thirty
nine points, so.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
Okay, I think it was like the seven last time
I looked two points to him. Okay, so he is
taking it in then, So what's an entire BSB race
uh B race weekend worth?

Speaker 1 (26:50):
I'm not one hundred percent sure. If I'm honest, I
assume it is half points for a sprint.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
Yeah, so their sprint is the super Bowl race, isn't? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (27:01):
Hanging on, sorry, it must be what fifty sixty two points?

Speaker 2 (27:07):
Tell you a second? To bear with me, Hang on,
I'm clicking the wrong things here because I've not searched.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
Did you press P No?

Speaker 2 (27:16):
I forgot to put the term wiki into my Google search.
So just bring me up the Wikipedia page because I
know where the points are for that super race. Twelve
points for a win, nine points second, seventh to third,
so close to half yeah, same as MOGPS with two
other races. So yeah, yes, it's fifty sixty two points
are for grabs, so.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
It's still doable. But top racks on such form you
can't see him.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
Mate, I'm just looking at the fucking season top racks had.
This is madness, top rack. I'm going to read you
top racks. Bear in mind there's three races by race wegain,
so this might feel long, but I'm just going to
read you top racks for results so far this year second, thirteenth,
retired first, first, first, fourth, first, eighth, second, second, second, first, first, second, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, second, second, first, first, second.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
So here is my question. I know we always talk
about motor GP as a pinnacle of merch ball, much
like a racing. Why would you leave that for not
an uncertainty but unguaranteed.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
Result, because you've made motor GP money for the last
two years riding that BMW. He's made a shipload of
money doing that, and he's proved that he can crush
it in World super bikes. He's all likely it is.
He's going to be a three time World SUPERI champion
end of this year. There's not that many of them
start with.

Speaker 1 (28:42):
No he'll been an exclusive club, like three people?

Speaker 2 (28:47):
How many de Troy Bay this win?

Speaker 1 (28:49):
Actually, oh, that's so.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
We've got Johnny Raye who Johnny top right winning.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
I'm communicating with a football expert who is reluctant to
come in.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
The World super Bike Riders.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
We have a question, you will your football fans football question?

Speaker 2 (29:16):
Winning is the World super Riders Championships. Here we go.
Our football expert is here, she's in the room, she's
on the mic.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
You got louder. Some footballers on the back on the
back of the shirt. They all have their names. Some
have the first name instead of the last name. Why
is that?

Speaker 2 (29:40):
You know? Okay, preference in case that. So we've just
learned that Ronaldo's first name Brazilian Ronaldo, not Portuguese Ronaldo
is actually Ronaldo bleve my mind. I didn't know that
at all. Money fair enough, So it's just comes down

(30:02):
to preference. Look at that. Wow, we learned something the
every day. Thank you, we go a football expert coming
in to help us out there.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
Football pundit is here, yea. If anyone doesn't know, that's
my girlfriend.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
There we go, fiance. I think technically Steve, yeah, probably
getting too technicalities. So Johnny Ray winning his rider with
six championships, Carl Foggerty has got four, True Bayless has
got three. So top Rack is about to join the

(30:36):
pretty exclusive three riders. Yeah won three or more championships
in World super bikes. So that's pretty incredible. And he's
done it, And it doesn't really matter what the fuck
happens in Motor GP next year because he's not guaranteed
to stay on for twenty three seven and he decides
to bail out or Yamaha. I can't see it being Yamaha.

(30:57):
But he decides to bail out, then what art? But
he can go back to this, he can go back
to Super Bowl and he will get any on that grid.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
Anyone will snap him.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
But and I, you know, I wouldn't be surprised if
do Cattie or Certainly or Honda or Yamaha or even
like promoter like are there being like just we'll keep
tabs on how he's doing over there and how happy
it will be, keeping big tabs because he's going coming
over without Phil Maron, isn't He's not.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
He's over a solo, completely solo as far as apart
from his like personal personal health personal. But I don't know.
But anyway, that's next year. It will be interesting to
see exactly.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
But yeah, to go back that, I think the reason
he's leaving is just glory. Yeah, there's the chance, isn't there,
Like if he can do what no one has done?

Speaker 1 (31:49):
No, this is the that's to be fair. Yeah, actually
I hadn't thought about that. This is a goal that
no one will have achieved before. And he's good enough
I guess to do it. So yeah, actually on that note, yeah,
I changed my mind. Yeah, I take it back, come
do great things.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
Yeah, quite, And yeah, there's always going to be something
there for him. And you know what, even if that
marks the end of his career, he'll just go and
do what Keenan's done and just get into politics in
Turkey and just to end up his high powered politician
off the back of his popularity as a.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
Well, just see as banners flying in two years. Top
rack for president, prime minister whatever. I don't want to.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
I don't know what Turkey have both. Many countries have both.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yea, many countries do. Yeah, top dude, top rack, top
top rack. I told you I should be in PR
We go down a.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
Hat you can throw your MAGA hats out the window.
We've got the top do top rack hats going on here? Yes,

(33:05):
so yeah, anyway back to where we were. Piro in
for Mark this weekend, but it's not confirmed, but he'll
be in for Sampang. I think it will be. Pio
was at the Sapang preseason tests, so at least has
some recent experience around the circuit on a GP twenty five. Yes,
so it seems like the logical, granted, less exciting choice
compared to Bulega, but the logical choice to just get

(33:28):
Piro in to just do it and do you know,
just get him to test fucking bits for the twenty s.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
Actually, you've got the perfect opportunity now to chuck some
bits on the bikes. Is just two weekend, just extra testing,
just under the radar, if you will, on a concessions bike.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
Well, he can't. He's not actually allowed to bring any
test parts. He's only allowed to use. He's allowed to
change the things Mark would be allowed to change. So
it's not allowed to.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
Bring news but you can't bring any made upgrade.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
Yeah, it's not like he's got a wild card entry
where he'd be allowed to just do mad ship. He's
got to use Marks some alligation of arrow.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
He's going to use Mark, but you're going to adapt that.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
Yeah, plenty of you could throw a new swing arm on. Fine,
you throw any chassis and fine you can. There's a
lot of stuff you could throw in and test and trial,
which you know, the GP twenty five has a bit
of a dog this year, which is mad to think
inside that it's been a bit of a dog when
actually Mark has just won this championship at canter Peko's
in third, a distant third, but in third, and where

(34:34):
did did? He's not in the top three, is he?
But you would never expect to dig he's down in seventh. Yes, yeah,
but in fact, oh no, Frankie is also there. I'd
say a part of my the GP twenty five ahead
of the GP twenty fours, but Frank's ahead of digit. Yes,

(34:55):
so yes, back to what we were saying. Got very
distracted through all of that. Piro in for Marcus weekend
essentially and in my opinion, probably for panting.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
Yes, we'll stop you slightly there. Okay, have you seen
the updated gatty V four Panagalic.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
I have not?

Speaker 1 (35:15):
You have not? You need to google this thing right now. Okay,
this year's versus This is the new pang V.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
Four r R.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
Yeah, google that and I will get you some tissues.

Speaker 2 (35:31):
Or the excited tissues or sad tissues.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
It's excited tissues.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
The thing is, I think you're afraid. I don't get afraid.
See you, excited tissues, the best kind of tissues. The
things with Videka. People are granted, it's a beautiful machine.
It's Oh, I feel like most of the Panegalis are
stunning machines, like in the last few years. I you'd
be hard pressed, but I'd be hard pressed to tell
them apart if one just blasted past me on the street.

(35:58):
But it is. You look at it like, well, obviously
catty it's like a double sided swing on. Yes, when
did the Cattie start doing that again?

Speaker 1 (36:07):
This is the first one?

Speaker 2 (36:08):
Oh? Is it really?

Speaker 1 (36:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (36:10):
Okay, yeah, but look at it. It's a stunning machine.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
Yeah, and it's it's strange to say, but I look
at the price tag. It's not unreasonable.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
How much are they for a funny thing in it?
Because forty grand is a stupid.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
Money that other bikes in that class.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
Yeah, then I mean there aren't many other bikes in
the class of the but this thing, Oh my god. Yeah,
it's a nice locking bike. And I love the fact
that they've got wings.

Speaker 1 (36:44):
It's subtle wings as well, top and bottom.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
Where the wings. They will be allowed to using World
two bikes, which is obviously they've had to mulligate the
before into the World two bike machine.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
It's just a yeah, quite.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
And that's the thing with them. And like you know,
with all of the Top Specs sports bikes that are
in World twoper bikes is if you pay for the
tops super bike, you're riding a very similar machine to
the comments that of blasting around.

Speaker 1 (37:09):
Yeah, you're not far away from it. Yeah, two hundred
and eighteen horsepower. Oh, nutty, I don't know how much
Mind makes.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
Are Yours are christ ab Ex engine six fifty. Is
it really a six fifty? Yeah mate, you're making thirty
five horsepower?

Speaker 1 (37:34):
Twenty four?

Speaker 2 (37:34):
Twenty four horsepower? Wow, one of my first moped make
Voetian moped horsepower.

Speaker 1 (37:48):
Oh, the tangents you can tell we're in the same room.
We apologize people, but we're not going to We're on
I'll take a picture and post on socials. The amount
of alcohol on this table.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
Yeah, it's it's silly to night. Actually, my first I've
had made it for horse power, so you're solid twenty four.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
Now my cruising speed, a nice cruising speed is around
forty to forty five.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
Yeah, that's a steady trot all day. I'll do it
all day top speed. The pinnacle of these was the
turn Up Club that you hear about in London was
for these bikes back in the sixties, and that was
to hit a ton.

Speaker 2 (38:24):
On bikes like yours. Yeah, could get out of a ton.

Speaker 1 (38:27):
Just and that was like stead pushing it.

Speaker 2 (38:31):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
Yeah, I've had seventy out of it and then had
to back down.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
Yea. This doesn't feel safe.

Speaker 1 (38:39):
Literally when you're going about watching bits go.

Speaker 2 (38:41):
Ping shit, it's rattling, yeah.

Speaker 1 (38:44):
Literally coming loose. Things have come loose as I'm riding
it and you look at this, you think one hundred
is not.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
Not no no.

Speaker 1 (38:51):
On the six fifty, You're like, this should be doing
like one hundred and forty.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
But then think about the guys that were blasting.

Speaker 1 (38:56):
The island man like things. Yeah exactly, yeah, well not
on new things. I had that Manx Norton the r
G S the gold Star was not the Vellasett Venom.
All these things, these old bikes back in the fifties
and sixties.

Speaker 2 (39:10):
The pinnacle at the time.

Speaker 1 (39:12):
I A B. A. H. S. Ch There's an A. J. S. Maxist.
There's all sorts of weird and wonderful British bikes that
were the ones that they took over there back in
the day and have all collapsed.

Speaker 2 (39:27):
Has has the entire British motoring industry.

Speaker 1 (39:30):
Yeah, obviously there's a few companies that are running still,
like Royal Endfield is owned by Indian in your conglomerate.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
I don't know if there are, the judge, I think
they are.

Speaker 1 (39:41):
Yeah, B S. A have now got going again. So
obviously my old heritage bike is not looking by spares.
Who owns the Royal Field I think it is.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
Ker Motors where Ika based then, like, because that sounds
it was German, doesn't it.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
That sounds a bit German?

Speaker 2 (40:06):
Yeah, but no, they're based in India.

Speaker 1 (40:09):
Yeah, yeah, I think they're the only two. Obviously Norton
or Triumph as well.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
Triumph owned by an Indian company I think now as well.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
Yeah, they probably are, but all home.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
No a right, John Blore A British billionaire.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
Triumph. Yeah, I was in Norton. Have had their ups
and downs.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
Do you remember that chrome Norton that thingy John McGinnis
McInnis around the Isle of Man, Yeah, that thing or doing
on it.

Speaker 1 (40:43):
But it was a beautiful It was a beautiful, beautiful machine.
Rotary V four I believe it. Adam was a rotary.
I think they were Norton did No, sorry'm getting that wrong.
Norton did a rotary back in the eighties which was
banned from road racing because it just like trounced everything. Well,
if you google.

Speaker 2 (41:01):
There's a reason the rotary engine hasn't taken off. Yeah,
put out a lot of power, but needs a lot
of work.

Speaker 1 (41:09):
Yeah, so.

Speaker 2 (41:12):
It must have been just been banned from all racing
like really quickly, because you think, like when you look
at the specs of like a rotary car, when you're
looking at every eight thousand miles and you go and
get all the diamond tips redone and like you need
there's a lot of work goes into looking after a rotary.
But racing is the prime place for a rotary engine.
Oh yeah, an engine to put out three thousand kilometers
over a season.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
Yeah, so they did the r c W five eight
eight works Nor nineteen eighty eight to nineteen ninety four
Air called the it was a road going twin rotary
wankle engine.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
Yeah, that's the rotary engine.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
Yeah, absolutely nuts and just dominated everything.

Speaker 2 (41:52):
Yeah, it's ben't surprising. I can't what it is it.
I don't know how my engines. I'm not even gonna
let's move it on. I can explain, yeah, and everyone does.
Try explain this to me, and how yes on any
more pulses or power. I know what it looks like,
I know how it works.

Speaker 1 (42:06):
But every every one revolution you get three pulses.

Speaker 2 (42:10):
There we go. I told you so with pulses. I'm
good at pulses.

Speaker 1 (42:15):
And it never basically stops because as it's turning, there's
always one port open, okay, but there's always three points
of very fine contact with the cylinder wall, which weighed
down very quickly, and the midllute they let go three
points instead of like one whole one for a piston.

(42:35):
Rings take that pressure.

Speaker 2 (42:38):
That's why they we're so high because all the pressures
on an individual point as opposed to spread out across
the entire.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
Pyramid in the circle and those three points are what weighs.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
Okay, yeah, mad the amount of power I love one.
I don't know what. Are they efficient?

Speaker 1 (42:56):
Yeah, they came well, yes and no because the maintenance
is so high. But like fuel efficiency, I don't think so,
because they put out so much power for the.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
Size, so then they would be quite efficient. You'd imagine
if that much power for the size, or they just
drinking a ship out of fuel producer.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
I think they drink oil.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
Oil's easy. Yeah, dinosaurs liquid dinosaurs, not even refined liquid dinosaurs.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
Yeah. I mean the famously did the RX, a road car.

Speaker 2 (43:22):
That's kind of where I first.

Speaker 1 (43:24):
So they did that one and they were very popular.
I bought races for tuning up. Obviously they're very very
quick for a small engine, but obviously the maintenance when
they give up, they give up pretty spectacularly, and then
the cost of rebuilds is pretty insane as you can
do it yourself.

Speaker 2 (43:40):
So no, they're not generally fuel efficient compared to general engines. Yes,
they burned oil.

Speaker 1 (43:49):
Lubrication it's got to be ultra lude interesting. They need
a sponsorship by KY.

Speaker 2 (43:56):
Basically, I think if you put a load of water
based lubricant into your engine. Something's gonna go very wrong,
very quickly.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
Master are looking at hybrid rotary engines, so that's going
to solve a lot of the problems with efficiency, although
we want to solve the problems with wear and tear.

Speaker 1 (44:16):
No where is the worst thing. I mean, the small engine,
big output is definitely the way to go.

Speaker 2 (44:22):
But if we don't Formula one never run you actually,
do you know what engine size for me? One run?

Speaker 1 (44:25):
Absolutely no clue.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
Okay, if you had to guess.

Speaker 1 (44:29):
I'll probably go somewhere around one six. Wow, that was
a really good guess.

Speaker 2 (44:33):
They're running one six at one point six six turbos, Yeah,
hybrid turbos.

Speaker 1 (44:38):
Yeah, I mean I think so. I can't forget who
it was. I want to say it was one of
the top Deer Boys wrote. If you've got to produce
an engine, it's got to be a V. It's got
to be a small capacity, but either twin or quad
turbo superchargier has its place on like big V eights.

Speaker 2 (44:54):
Oh yeah, don't want to know.

Speaker 1 (44:56):
So it's got to be the twin or QUARTERBA on
a more engine and then spec that to the hell
and then you've got like the pinnacle of small engine
or any kind of road engine. So not too big,
not too small.

Speaker 2 (45:10):
That's the kind of thing you'd imagine maybe endurance racing
would go down there.

Speaker 1 (45:16):
Yeah, a large capacity for small stroke and then small
rpm less motion for more power.

Speaker 2 (45:23):
Is you have small r pm high?

Speaker 1 (45:27):
No, a bigger engine, smaller.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
Bigger, bigger, Sorry I thot small engines.

Speaker 1 (45:31):
No smaller engine. Then yeah, as you come down, it's
going to get higher consate because yes, yeah, I'm not
surprised at one six. Actually I think that's probably good
size for it.

Speaker 2 (45:41):
Yeah. Well, I mean they came down from living everything
I know.

Speaker 1 (45:46):
That's the only thing I know. The engines have changed.
You have had what V tens be twelves? Yeah, there's
a really famous shot it racing. That was it V
twelve Clara and if it was happening, Yeah, two thousand
and five version, which just screamed.

Speaker 2 (46:04):
I wasn't racing in two thousand and five.

Speaker 1 (46:06):
Well, I remember the interview. There's an interview with Hambleton
and the guys taking it around the track in the background.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
Oh okay, yeah, yeah, it would have been later than
Hamilton didn't arrive until two thousand and seven.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
Okay, but he's like, listen to that, and it's just
like the pit like screaming engine. You could tell it's
a V.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
Yeah, it might have been. I'd imagine. I don't know
if I can ever drove twelve.

Speaker 1 (46:25):
Definitelyoul I couldn't getting the driver wrong because I'm not
a Formula one dude. So dr you see said when
he was driving his and it just screams and it
sounds phenomenal to me. It's like an ear blazing thing.
I like the deep grumble, but for that kind of
Matt's rpm fast car and he's thinking, that's a big engine,

(46:47):
that's probably a V twelve, and it.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
Just something pretty magical about those. But then actually when
you hit them in person, they're horrendous. They're so loud.
Do you remember all with three?

Speaker 1 (46:58):
God? Yeah, I asked you that when we in Valencia
because I've got like my right ears shot, like I'm
gonna have to get some mere plug. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
Yeah, Like the Formula one is just like that on
a different level. It's just can't imagine three was bad.
So it was just a pack.

Speaker 1 (47:10):
Yeah, it's that solid pack.

Speaker 2 (47:11):
So that Formula one where you're thinking, there all V
twelve screaming up at at nineteen just on of those
first few laps where everyone's together, which is just madness.
And it's not like that now.

Speaker 1 (47:22):
No, so weird. I like a deep grumble and more
of it. I would be a V twins. You can't
you going? Yeah, give me a V eight and I'm
happy with a straight pipe and there's screaming engines don't
really do it for me. But when you see it,
like in a motorsports sense, and that engine.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
Has been produced to like give optimum, I think it
sounds violent, don't they And that's kind of the draw.
Like when you're watching old on board footage. It's the
same as you watch the old five hundred, Like you
watch that old footage and you're like, it just looks
it looks it looks violent. It sounds violent. In Formula
one they're slide nor four wheels around the corners, which
is just not a fast way to go around the circuit.

(47:59):
Now in all five hundred racing, like the bikes that
are all over the place, you know, yeah, the air
and they're tipping it into a corner anyway, like just
as mad things then nuts.

Speaker 1 (48:10):
Who was the Formula one driver that had the weird
right driving style where he would blip the throll was
that center in the corner.

Speaker 2 (48:18):
Probably you would have had to blip the throt going
down through the gears in his era. Anyway, This was
like when you were down the gears and going through it. Yeah,
I mean that sounds like it could have been center.
It would have been sure anyone in those that area.
You would have blop throttles to go down gears anyway
in that era.

Speaker 1 (48:32):
Yeah, get yeah, that's my kind of racing.

Speaker 2 (48:39):
There's that favorite thing with James Hunt where he lost
the top of his gear stick and it just had
a meltal pole and by the end of the race
it had like sliced through his glove, cut his hand
with blood because he was still just changing gears off
what was just like a steel rod would just thread
on the top.

Speaker 1 (48:54):
Yeah, they were a different breed.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
Yeah quite mate, quite right, let's bring it back.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
If you've kept up with that, well done, Yeah quite so.

Speaker 2 (49:04):
Replacements mckayley Pierrot we know will be in and Maverick
Vignalez is going to be out, so he's out for
at least the next two rounds. And while he gives
that severe shoulder injury sometimes to heal and regain some strength.
So for Australia, poll At Spargo is confirmed to be
riding the Tech three machine, and I'm really looking forward
to SIMP again. He's two appearances this year and he's

(49:27):
been right on the pace and able to mix it
with the top ten. So Tech three are in safe
hands with him. Across his two appearances in Grand Prix races,
he's got an average TINS of eight point five this season
all of his He didn't score in one sprim race,
but other than that he's been top ten.

Speaker 1 (49:44):
Yeah. They look over at Danny p and he.

Speaker 2 (49:45):
Goes, yeah, fuck off that Yeah, fuck you.

Speaker 1 (49:50):
I dressed up like the Peaky Blinders in Silverston that.

Speaker 2 (49:54):
Is there, just like and Beck in the box and
two middleweight championships actually, so that's why I'm on the
big bucks.

Speaker 1 (50:05):
Yeah. Yeah, it's funny, isn't. Even when you're a test rider,
there's probably a bit of competition there is. Yeah, I'm
a better than you.

Speaker 2 (50:16):
I'm not trying to be a pundit.

Speaker 1 (50:17):
Poll Yeah, well I get the microphone.

Speaker 2 (50:24):
Moving on from there, then the Motor GP grid is
now complete twenty leagues. The worst kept secret in Motor
GP is finally out in the open. Diogo Morrera is
riding alongside some get No, of course he's not. He's
riding alongside Joanne Zarko at the LCR team next year

(50:44):
and this is a multi year deal direct with the factory.
Chantra is off towards super bikes to run in the
factory Honda effort over.

Speaker 1 (50:52):
There, Yeah, alongside Jake Good Love boys were watching with
baited breath.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
I just hope you're getting paid a lot. That's all
I'm going to say to that.

Speaker 1 (50:59):
Oh I'm not. I don't. I don't even know what
to say about it.

Speaker 2 (51:04):
But I just think Honda's well superpike effort is I
have got so much money and resources behind them, and yeah,
they're just what were they ever done? It was not
ever done because obvious they have one.

Speaker 1 (51:15):
They've done some fantastic things.

Speaker 2 (51:16):
What they've done in the last fifteen years in world
super bikes, that takes us back what fifteen it takes
back to twenty ten. They've not won titles in twenty ten.
Johnny Ray won a couple of races for them in
that era. Turned up, They did turn out, there were
talks were not turning up.

Speaker 1 (51:33):
For a while their form has slid. I mean I
watched super bikes exclusively back in the nineties and they
did some fantastic things.

Speaker 2 (51:43):
Yeah, I mean it was the casual Honda, wasn't it.

Speaker 1 (51:45):
Colin Edwards and Edwards on that sp one VTL was insane, foggy.
He gave it to go, couldn't do it?

Speaker 2 (51:52):
Forget you ride it?

Speaker 1 (51:53):
Yeah, you slept off the Hound, THETI for two years,
hopped on the Honda for two years, and.

Speaker 2 (51:59):
Then back to kind of back to just once more. Yeah,
I couldn't do it Alvasti all over again.

Speaker 1 (52:04):
Yeah literally that Yeah, I know.

Speaker 2 (52:09):
Good luck boys, Yeah, quite good luck. But yeah, that
does mean that my Mandiogo is going to be there.
He will be the Brazilian Motor GP rider when mostor
GP goes to Brazil.

Speaker 1 (52:22):
That's gonna be good. He is going to be welcomed.

Speaker 2 (52:25):
It's going to be a fucking fiesta over there.

Speaker 1 (52:27):
Mate, Should we go, that would be a hell of
a party, mate, I'd love to go for that.

Speaker 2 (52:32):
It would be really good. Next up, more confirmations. I'm
going to tear through these last ones quickly, Steve, because
we are running almost an hour already and we've a
couple of three news items.

Speaker 1 (52:45):
Yeah, I'm gonna lie.

Speaker 2 (52:47):
Motor GP's pre season dates have now been confirmed, so
the twenty twenty six Mostorp season launch will take place
in Kuala Lumpar or kate l for short. Will you
be there this year? No, I'll be in his And
then it means I've got to try. Was I in
Malaysia last year?

Speaker 1 (53:03):
He went to the launch?

Speaker 2 (53:04):
Were there?

Speaker 1 (53:05):
You snuck in but you pretended to be a journalist.

Speaker 2 (53:08):
I accidentally to be a journalist. Yeah. Was I in
Malaysia the last year? Went to Borneo? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (53:16):
The year before, I could be the year before you
sent me the pictures.

Speaker 2 (53:19):
I seen the pictures of Thailand of the season launch.
Oh yes, I think I was in Malaysia the year
before that. I think, God, you've been with some Yeah,
it sounds Was it that time that I went to
Borneo to see the orangutangs? Or was it that time
that I answered you went to Cambo to see the elephants.
I can't remember. I've had such an exciting life, such

(53:41):
a swatchwat.

Speaker 1 (53:44):
Some funnest one this trip. I have my trust fund.

Speaker 2 (53:48):
That is what it sounds like. Oh dear, but no,
I think it was. It was the year before. But yes,
I was in Thailand for the for the season launch,
but I will not be in Malaysia this season. But
Kale is a super cool city. I like.

Speaker 1 (54:03):
Yeah, but that looks a lot of fun. Every every
shot I've seen of the book looks absolutely amazing. That's
on my bucket list for the future.

Speaker 2 (54:12):
It's just a beautiful like if you like cities, it's
a beautiful city tow huge beautiful skyscrapers. Amazing, Like you
get your Airbnb and some hotel block or some block
flats somewhere fifty fiftieth floor, it is going to be
a beautiful infinity pool on the top. It's a really
lovely city. Yeahs a super cool place to.

Speaker 1 (54:33):
Be whenever the circus goes there. It's one of my
favorite things is look on socials and you watch what
everyone's putting on there, and you're just like, lucky, lucky, lucky.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
And some of the best food in the world.

Speaker 1 (54:44):
Yeah, that's oddly averse what a lot of people say.
Some of the most fantastic food people I've ever eaten.

Speaker 2 (54:49):
Because it's one of those cities. It's a bit like
Singapore where it's just this clash of cultures, so every.

Speaker 1 (54:54):
Huge malgamation of everything.

Speaker 2 (54:56):
Like everyone's there, and it's amazing that you can get
these huge, huge towering skyscrapers like Petraying his towers. For example,
there's a huge really like next door next exactly that. Yeah, yeah,
and it's not that like there's not money in that heart.
There's a lot of money there, but it's like some
old local restaurant. It's been a family for seventy years

(55:16):
and they're just still doing like or something exactly that,
because that land is worth a fucking fortune.

Speaker 1 (55:23):
Exactly, and they're sitting on millions, but they're still serving
the ram and.

Speaker 2 (55:26):
They want to exactly. It's like a colonial architecture alongside
these beautiful skyscrapers. Like it's just really good.

Speaker 1 (55:35):
It's just the mix of modern old culture meets culture. Yeah, exactly,
fantastic watch it and I sit here sometimes you lucky.

Speaker 2 (55:44):
Yeah, it's a cool place. It's a really really cool see,
so it would be a really cool season launch to
go to. And again, the people in Malaysia, much like
people in Thailand, are super friendly bunch, yeah, really lovely.

Speaker 1 (55:53):
I take Brodie, but I think he probably level the
towers into national incident.

Speaker 2 (56:01):
Yeah, exactly, let's move in the background. Oh fuck, he's
up there. Oh there, he is top of the Patrona's towers.
How the fuck did he manage that? Don't is on
the next level. So yeah, that will be the sixth
and seventh of February, and that is immediately after the
Shakedown Test, which is the immediately after the Shakedown Test,

(56:24):
and two full days of preseason testing answer pak. So
it's obviously the Shakedown Test, which is just test riders,
and then you get the two full days. Then it's
the season launch and then over to Thailand for the
Brewer Ram Test, which is the twenty first to twenty
second of February, and that's just a week before the
tai Circuit hosts the first round of the season.

Speaker 1 (56:42):
That's a full schedule. Yeah, man, A light Well I
say it like that. We always talk about how long
over the winter break. I was all right, we've got
a wait, we've got wait, we've got a wait, we've
got a white This is going to kick it off
it pretty quickly.

Speaker 2 (56:55):
Yeah, But then I think that happens every year, doesn't it,
Like I don't know when the season launch was year,
but it must have been around the same time.

Speaker 1 (57:02):
It probably was, but this just feels like it's going
to happen fairly quick. Yeah, and trust me, this year
is wrestling by at Pace, so yeah.

Speaker 2 (57:11):
Quite And as always, we will get a glimpse of
twenty twenty six at the Valencia Test just after the
final around this year anyway.

Speaker 1 (57:18):
Yeah, we will get a little glimpse and hopefully this
year they'll televised a bit more. They haven't done the
times past. They've always had the time in past.

Speaker 2 (57:26):
But yeah, and you always get the even if you're
not getting much on track action, you get the kind
of mid day show, you get an evening show. Yeah,
YouTube does put out the more. Gip do put a
few hours of YouTube content over the days. But yeah,
it's not the full kind of test, because I feel
like BT sport used to full televised tests.

Speaker 1 (57:44):
They did. There was one year I watched a whole
lot the entire day. That was when Zarko joined Honda, Okay,
and it was literally just shot to these guys hanging
around in between the trucks and you've got the whole thing,
and like the commentators are doing a fantastic job because
they're like fuck calls.

Speaker 2 (58:00):
Yeah exactly. I think that's part of the reason they
don't do it now.

Speaker 1 (58:03):
I think that was a mistake they made because they
were literally like trying to find stuff to talk about them.
There's no one on track, there's no one here. Everyone's
at lunch and we're live.

Speaker 2 (58:14):
Yeah. Quite.

Speaker 1 (58:15):
This is the Katim truck. Like it's rather nice seagull.

Speaker 2 (58:18):
It's a nice k red Bull branding on there. Very
well done.

Speaker 1 (58:21):
Yeah. Yeah, well this is the backup Garris front of
the garage, left of the Garris garage. This is a mechanic.

Speaker 2 (58:27):
Yeah. And even when like so, I was watching the
kind of the mid day show for the Mezzano test
this year and the major we've got on YouTube and
they I can't remember the guy's name. He was wandering
around chat to the microphone, talking about anyone, and that's
Fabio Quata over there. No, he doesn't want to talk
to us, so like yeah, and then it's just Fabio
sitting on a box chatting like on a shipping, you know,

(58:48):
one of the wheel shipping.

Speaker 1 (58:50):
Nothing to set up, it's proper basics club racing.

Speaker 2 (58:53):
Fabia is just there chatting to a mite in the
background while the commentators they're like, and we're really desperately
trying to fill time because we don't know what to do.

Speaker 1 (59:00):
Creep closes.

Speaker 2 (59:01):
Yeah, they're just like not having any that.

Speaker 1 (59:05):
I mean, these guys, hats off to them because try
to do that must have been hard as hell. And
I'm pretty sure that one season is where they've never
done it again. They must have bought all that Telly
time and I just realized that this is actually a massive,
massive mistage because now we we have nothing to show.
We're all on tract for like an hour naked massive
bike change. It's gonna take three hours exactly. And they

(59:28):
were like, well, I'm going to sit in the pool
because it's hot.

Speaker 2 (59:30):
Everyone will go to do a glory run in the
last hour of the last ye un.

Speaker 1 (59:33):
That's it done.

Speaker 2 (59:35):
It's oh, MAVs won it great once again. Testing champion Maverick.

Speaker 1 (59:40):
Yeah, it's like hold my beer, yeah, pub for seventeen
hours watch this.

Speaker 2 (59:45):
Yeah. Quite The last thing then I want to touch
on Steve before we do take quick break, is that
Repsol are potentially returning back to the Motor GP. I
really hope they do, so this is rumor that are
circulating that the Spanish oil Giant will return to Grand
Prix racing in twenty twenty six, but rather than sponsoring

(01:00:05):
a motor GP team, they will become the official lubricant
supplier in MOTI two and Moto three, replacing Lique Molly.

Speaker 1 (01:00:15):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:00:15):
Liquid Molly currently have a contract until twenty twenty seven,
but reports are that they've terminated it early and that
Repsol will be taking their place from next year. Whether
this is connected to the potential loss of exposure for
the lower classes in the future is up for debate,
but Liquid Molly seem unhappy and Repsols seem to want
to get back in.

Speaker 1 (01:00:35):
Whatever happens, there's a massive sponsor there waiting to step in.

Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
Yeah, a massive sponsor who's now like, fuck me. Now,
we're not paying all that money for that Honda. We're
more tax at this point. We need to spending this money.

Speaker 1 (01:00:48):
Don't offset here, boys, We're going to do well.

Speaker 2 (01:00:51):
That's all sponsorship is. To be fair.

Speaker 1 (01:00:54):
We need to lose some money. Yeah, we've made a
bit too much. If this is true, it will be
a little bit, a little bit of a shame. See
Liqui Moligo because they've been in the heritage for quite
a while.

Speaker 2 (01:01:06):
Yeah, I feel like liquire like a really because I've
never heard of him ntil what's racing?

Speaker 1 (01:01:11):
No, I use their products for that reason. I showed
you something earlier, my bioside. Just stop my van turning
into some sort of molten monster German bottle.

Speaker 2 (01:01:20):
Literally good lens.

Speaker 1 (01:01:25):
I didn't even bother that. I was like it said something,
I poured a bit in. This looks about right done.

Speaker 2 (01:01:33):
I like that. That's my kind of mechanics as well.
So you just throw something and it'll be fine.

Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
Yeah, ratios Yeah, that'd be fine as a light.

Speaker 2 (01:01:41):
Come on to say it's a problem that it's probably fine,
then that's it. If not, just not confuse? How that
one right?

Speaker 1 (01:01:48):
That's it? Oddly old bikes, no fuss, no.

Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
Lights, madness, madness refuses uses, Wow, no fuses.

Speaker 1 (01:01:57):
I have one light? Well, well, I see I have two,
but one doesn't work.

Speaker 2 (01:02:02):
What is the light on the dash?

Speaker 1 (01:02:04):
The back break?

Speaker 2 (01:02:05):
Break?

Speaker 1 (01:02:06):
Have a back broke?

Speaker 2 (01:02:07):
Oh you've got break? You a headlight?

Speaker 1 (01:02:09):
I've got a headlight. I don't use it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:12):
You don't use it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:12):
No, I don't write it m in the dark.

Speaker 2 (01:02:14):
You don't just have it on anyway, mate, It's like that. Okay,
flick a lighter, Steve, flicking a lighter just to let
us know I'm always the lights on kind of guy.

Speaker 1 (01:02:24):
No, these are a six volt and old school filament.

Speaker 2 (01:02:28):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:02:28):
Okay yeah, put that up against an led, mate, and
I'm getting X rayed.

Speaker 2 (01:02:34):
This shadow on a tree behind.

Speaker 1 (01:02:38):
Into the background. It's just not worth it. I've tried it.
Unless the mags like prime. The lights will dim when
you drop the reds.

Speaker 2 (01:02:46):
Mate. That's golden like some old dino.

Speaker 1 (01:02:48):
Yeah. It's basically I've got a mag and a dino,
in't it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:51):
Wow? Okay, wow, every.

Speaker 1 (01:02:54):
Every five thousand miles, I have to have the mag rewound. Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:03:00):
Mate, old bikes, man, there's just a lot gown on there.
It's yeah, right, anyway, let's take quick break, Steve, can
we come back. We will dive into what we're looking
for in Philip Island, we will make our predictions, and
we will end the show. I thought the show was
just going to be an hour, but we've done an
hour on the news we have.

Speaker 1 (01:03:16):
That's good. The amount of alcohol involved, that's my fault.

Speaker 2 (01:03:19):
That's fair. It's because you've been so I was having
the cheeky baileies with our mother in law before you
came around to pick me up and then announced, un announced,
just phone me, I'm outside. I normally walk. Yeah, well
I'm outside.

Speaker 1 (01:03:31):
We've got the shop.

Speaker 2 (01:03:34):
So yes, let's say quick break and then when we
come back we will dive into talking a little bit
about Philip Island. So guys, bear with us for just
one moment and we will be right back with you,

(01:04:03):
and we are back. Thank you for bearing with us.
Blave us are empty, beers are full, and Steve pre
pre prematurely yes, open can again.

Speaker 1 (01:04:14):
I don't know why. It's the bourbon.

Speaker 2 (01:04:16):
It's the bourbon. It's just you know, you get the
bourbon and you Steve, and everything's a bit premature.

Speaker 1 (01:04:22):
Tell me.

Speaker 2 (01:04:24):
At least we're blame in the bourbon. So Steve this.
I haven't actually tried this beer yet. What my on here?
Chruth Campo from Sebilla. This was left in the hostel.
I think it may have come all the way from Spain.
Oh no, it's got English ingredients on there and I
kin'd of done.

Speaker 1 (01:04:43):
It's still it's a nice can.

Speaker 2 (01:04:44):
But this is left over from the hostel. This has
traveled all the way from wherever it was brought to
the Isle of Sky and world.

Speaker 1 (01:04:50):
Journey's a journey beer. Why not give it a taste?
What's it likely?

Speaker 2 (01:04:59):
It's it's acts quite nice. It's like a shitty Lagard,
but with that kind of blonde beer lefe style after taste.

Speaker 1 (01:05:07):
Very nice.

Speaker 2 (01:05:07):
It's actually quite pleasant, Chris Campo. Remember that that might
actually be better than Scottish Foster's.

Speaker 1 (01:05:14):
There's a claim.

Speaker 2 (01:05:15):
Yeah, and I'm not usually a fan of blonde beer.
They've got too much of that after taste. But that's
just enough.

Speaker 1 (01:05:20):
That's good, very nice. I'm just rocking the native.

Speaker 2 (01:05:23):
Yeah, back on the amber nectar.

Speaker 1 (01:05:25):
Yeah, we won't reference.

Speaker 2 (01:05:26):
Yeah, I'll give them a week off. Yeah, quite quite upset. Otherwise,
the probably upset that we're not talking about Steve.

Speaker 1 (01:05:32):
They might be let us know, you.

Speaker 2 (01:05:36):
Know who you are, So then Steve, Phillip Island. We've
already kind of done a lot of the chat around
Philip Island here, but this is what we are looking
for Philip Island. And firstly, I'm looking for it to
be a fucking banger.

Speaker 1 (01:05:50):
I hope, So, I really do hope. So we hype
it up so much like we've already said, is it's
that kind of gateway to the end of the season.
We just need a good fit of island, a dry race.

Speaker 2 (01:06:05):
Not a race that you know you have to have
the race on the Sunday because the weather is so bad.
I don't have to have the race on the Saturday.

Speaker 1 (01:06:10):
The forecast is so epic that we're like everyone's bailing
out and evacuating the island.

Speaker 2 (01:06:15):
And I often think, do you remember when we were
in that era of motor GP where every time we
got windy, w he Lonzo freaked out and drill holes
and it's faring like you remember that race where he
Lorenzo's Yamaha just was full of holes just so the
flow could get through it. If that, legitimately the wind
was actually affecting him, that it wasn't some psychological psychological

(01:06:39):
thing going on there with the errow. Now, it must
be really fucking hard to ride in the wind.

Speaker 1 (01:06:45):
It has well if it's a downforce, if you're in
a headwind.

Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
If you're in a headwind, yeah, and everything, but then
probably not excellent because.

Speaker 1 (01:06:58):
Then there'd be too much Yeah, designed to work at
top speed or exactly right. So I don't know it's
going to have an effect, but these guys have, like
most of all or nearly all of these guys have
been ridings with with arrows, so they're going to know
different and they've tasted their fair share of different weathers
in these bikes. So it's just another thing to contend with.

Speaker 2 (01:07:19):
Yeah, it's just a mad thing. I just remember having
to holes and then now look at them. You're like,
but now they're basically boats, Like they've just got sales
all over them.

Speaker 1 (01:07:28):
It's just bits everywhere, stegosaurus wings on the back.

Speaker 2 (01:07:31):
Yeah, I still wonder man, like, they must be using
flexible materials. No one's talking about EMOGP like it's a
really big talking point. In Formula one flexi.

Speaker 1 (01:07:38):
Ero front wing. You see it stretching and move in.

Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
Because it's only allowed to flex a certain amount.

Speaker 1 (01:07:44):
Got so many degrees or so many millimeters of movement,
isn't it exactly?

Speaker 2 (01:07:48):
I know, are same not allowed moveable arrow But in
Formula one they're putting higher forces through the aerodynamics than
they're actually testing for, so they know they're testing up
to I don't know what these numbers mean, but they're
testing up to one hundred new to me is a force.
So they'll get a measuring device on there. They'll put
one hundred new meters and okay, it doesn't flex happy days.
But they're going down the straight at two hundred and

(01:08:09):
twenty and thirty mile an hour. Two hundred new meters
a force on the arrow, so it's really flexing. And
you see it. You see the shots of it.

Speaker 1 (01:08:15):
You see it. I've seen the front wing just stretching
and completely distorting.

Speaker 2 (01:08:20):
Yeah, exactly, and it's they must do Catti must be
doing that, Gigi must be doing that.

Speaker 1 (01:08:26):
I'm fairly certain they're probably doing it behind the scenes.
But then what they're strapping on the bike is within
the torrances that are allows it's probably not quite well.

Speaker 2 (01:08:35):
The testing tolerance is sure. It's doing more at high speed,
and we've not got the cameras on it formally. One
The only reason we know about it is because those cars,
every car is call eight cameras on pointing to different
parts of the car just for the show, and then
the fia of other cameras on there looking a bit
to the car. So there's no kilograms of cameras on
the formably one car which you can't have on an
OGP bike, So we're just not seeing the arrow. But
I bet it's flexing. It's going to be doing weird things.

Speaker 1 (01:08:57):
Everything that you make has a certain element. Even still,
the stretches under certain conditions, so plastic or whatever it's
made out of, come either will give, it will stretch
and move, and it's going to change. So there will
be a certain degree of change, but probably nowhere near
as much of what we're seeing in Formula one.

Speaker 2 (01:09:17):
I don't know, man, I wouldn't be surprised.

Speaker 1 (01:09:19):
You know, it probably does. We see it in the
slow mo shots. So these things are wiggling move in
but it's just.

Speaker 2 (01:09:24):
Kind of the front wings and stuff. They must be
flat because the whole point is that they get under
high pressure from going fast and they flatten because then
you're essentially you know, you get removing an air brake,
essentially are doing and as soon as you hammer on
the brakes, everything lifts back up and then you're regaining
your air breaks. This must be happening. I just and
maybe it's maybe it's not too catty, maybe it's KTM there.

(01:09:47):
That bike is a rocket ship in a straight line
and they absolutely missile they work with the Rebel aerod
analysiss from Formula one IM KTM is covered in Flexi
errow and we just don't know about it.

Speaker 1 (01:09:58):
Probably there will be secrets behind the sea that we
don't know about they will keep locked away.

Speaker 2 (01:10:02):
Yeah, it surprises me that it's not a bigger talking
point with AIRED. And it's becoming such a war zone
informatation in Motor GP right now. So it's a good point.
It's a very must be happening, and it must be.
I'm sure different teams know it's happening, and like, I'm
sure people there must be one team that's doing it
a lot. I wouldn't be surprised for its KTM or catty.

Speaker 1 (01:10:21):
That's a good point.

Speaker 2 (01:10:22):
And other teams are looking at and being like okay,
and I mean they've got a load of formul long
guys working for them. Yeah, iPad is happening across the grid.

Speaker 1 (01:10:28):
I wonder if it's like a little secret society thing
behind the scenes where they all get together and like.

Speaker 2 (01:10:32):
Well, this is a bit like the tire pressure isn't
it found out that they've been running legal tire pressures
for years, donkeys.

Speaker 1 (01:10:37):
Years and suddenly it's like, oh, maybe this is the
next big step, like the next big controversy thing will
be flexible era.

Speaker 2 (01:10:43):
Yeah, and if no one is doing it, why the
fuck aren't they doing it?

Speaker 1 (01:10:50):
I think you're probably right. I think they are probably
doing it, and it's someone's identified like a loophole they
can exploit. And because they can't have the cameras all
over the bikes and the coverage of them when they're racing,
that they've realized that where they see we can get
away with this. Yeah, And so it probably is and
we just can't see it. Yeah, ninety nine. The camera

(01:11:10):
shots we see are from Afar, from these incredible slow
mode camera shots that we see, but then it's slowed
down so much you might not be able to see it.
Maybe it is a loophole that they've exploited, and that's
going to be the next thing, you know, come twenty
sixty seven, when we've got the smaller arrow, everyone's going
to exploit this loopholes. And it's like, well, hang on.

Speaker 2 (01:11:31):
Yeah, exactly, we can get zero. Well I imagine they'll
be looking out even more like we can get more
out of this smaller arrow if we Maybe they're not
doing it now, but they'll be looking at it for
the future. They must be doing it.

Speaker 1 (01:11:43):
I think they must. But with the sides of some
of these aero packages, they have to be doing interesting
point end thought about that.

Speaker 2 (01:11:51):
Mate, Yeah, It's something that I think about quite a lot.
I think this is it. For me. Being such a
big Formula one fan and such a big Major P fan,
I couldee a huge crossover between the two. And therefore
there's times when I'm like, but why isn't one sport
doing what the other is doing? Because these two sports
are so different but so similar in so many ways.

Speaker 1 (01:12:07):
That is true, That's very true.

Speaker 2 (01:12:08):
I feel like you can learn from each.

Speaker 1 (01:12:11):
Yeah, I like that. I like that little conspiracy theory.

Speaker 2 (01:12:14):
Jim. Yeah, I'm convinced. Maybe we need to find a
narrow analysis to talk to you about it. Oh Jesus,
So what else we're looking for in Philip Islands? Steve
Pecko back nigh? Are Are we going to see the
Pecko of Mategi? Whom do you Cattie will need? Because
without mar Marquez, if Pecho doesn't perform, the unlikely to
be any red bikes in the top ten. Piero, for

(01:12:35):
all his ability is unlikely to get into the points
on his first competitive outing in Mojipi this year. If
Piero's sports points.

Speaker 1 (01:12:42):
Will be impressed, I will be impressed, very impressed. If
we see the Peco that we saw the last round,
we could be in with a very real possibility of
Peko being outscored by his replacement teammate.

Speaker 2 (01:12:58):
Oh, make imagine that you're going to say Peco losing
third in the championship, which I still think is possibility.

Speaker 1 (01:13:05):
That's a distinct possibility.

Speaker 2 (01:13:07):
But yeah, if Peco gets out, gets beaten by.

Speaker 1 (01:13:10):
Piro, Peco came stone cold last and crashed out.

Speaker 2 (01:13:14):
Yeah, shoot, you're right, Yeah, there's.

Speaker 1 (01:13:15):
A very strong possibility. If we see the Peco we
saw the last round, he could be the first one
to be outscored by his replacement test rider step in.

Speaker 2 (01:13:28):
Well, that's mad. Speaking of being outscored by teammates, Pedro
Acosta has never been out qualified in.

Speaker 1 (01:13:38):
Not yet.

Speaker 2 (01:13:39):
That's madness for a year. But even to out qualify
Fernandez every race, but in your rookie year, that's great.
Now to have done the same to brad Bindo.

Speaker 1 (01:13:51):
Wow, Yeah, the boys come in and announced his presence
in that team quite strongly. N't he just yeah, he
may not have all he's been that far up the
track come the jacker flag. But when it comes to
qualifying and setting your statement on Friday and Saturday, the
boy's doing quite a good job.

Speaker 2 (01:14:09):
But I mean you're saying not on the track. But
look at his points totals compared to Binder and compared
to the other ktms, Like, oh, he's a chunk of
mar cost Us in fifth overall with two hundred and
fifteen points. The next KTM has been there in eleventh
on one hundred and eighteen, So he's like a one
hundred points clear of his teammate.

Speaker 1 (01:14:28):
Yeah, he is by far the savior of KTM admitte.

Speaker 2 (01:14:34):
Mate the man like, surely where does he go for
twenty seven?

Speaker 1 (01:14:40):
Which this is the unknown it's going to.

Speaker 2 (01:14:42):
Be open for him?

Speaker 1 (01:14:44):
Well?

Speaker 2 (01:14:44):
Fuck, nos, it's twenty seven.

Speaker 1 (01:14:46):
I think I think we just need to get next
year out of the way.

Speaker 2 (01:14:49):
Are we going to see a mad Honda shift where
we're going to see a Petro Acosta Juhem, Martine Diego
more Ra and it takes you mirror across the four
current year on the bikes.

Speaker 1 (01:15:02):
Next year, I don't know. I can't decide this one.
I think you made a really good point earlier in
the year where you said it's a big risk. Twenty
twenty seven is such an unknown Do you stick a twist?

Speaker 2 (01:15:16):
It's like like fuck no, yeah exactly, and you're playing
against the house because you have absolutely no idea.

Speaker 1 (01:15:21):
No one has a clue. What is going to happen
in twenty twenty seven.

Speaker 2 (01:15:25):
Oh you know, is what your manufacturers telling you, and
then rumors from other people about what other manufacturers are
telling their riders and their teams.

Speaker 1 (01:15:32):
And the closer we get to it, lips are going
to get tight. And if rumors start flying, if your
best FRAMD mechanic from another manufacturers, we're doing this. If
that rumor gets out what other people are doing, people
are gonna start locking down all.

Speaker 2 (01:15:47):
And it will start to get out like it will
towards the end the City season actually for twenty thirty seven,
So City season next year is going to be madness.
There's so many rumors about what machines are looking good,
like is it gonna be madness?

Speaker 1 (01:16:01):
Yeah? If any if someone could get a video of
like the private tests behind the scenes and let these
guys bikes for twenty twenty seven if some if that
gets out what we've seen in the past, we're in journals,
camped in the bloody hillsides, we're like five hundred thousand
millimeter lenses and telescopes taking videos of the bikes and
we'll send it all the time.

Speaker 2 (01:16:21):
And those spy shots, like, yeah, there's could be a
big business in that photos is worth some.

Speaker 1 (01:16:28):
People will buy it.

Speaker 2 (01:16:29):
Yeah, I bet that. Again, there's a lot of speculation
going on from me here Flexi Wings and now I'm
talking about all flexi Ero and now in this. But
there must be some photographers whose entire job is just
spy shots, absolutely, because you see this in car manufacturing,
mostcycle manufacturing outside of racing, and then you absolutely see
it in all other racing series, like spy shots going

(01:16:51):
all over the show. I wonder if there is just
a few mercenary photographers they're like, where are they testing?
Oh yeah, I've got a great spot.

Speaker 1 (01:16:59):
Yeah I know this spot.

Speaker 2 (01:17:02):
I can see turn nine, I can see turn four,
and I can see the back straight beautifully from my spot.
So yeah, all right, I'll get the photos. I'll get
them and then you can pay you for them.

Speaker 1 (01:17:10):
Now, yeah, literally, it will happen. It will happen. We
see it in the real world. If like a motorcycle
manufacturers testing a road bike. Once in my life, I've
seen a cameo up bike.

Speaker 2 (01:17:19):
I've never seen.

Speaker 1 (01:17:20):
You never seen I've seen one.

Speaker 2 (01:17:21):
I've never seen one that was obvious enough for me
to go that must be a test machine.

Speaker 1 (01:17:25):
Yeah, I've seen one, and that was coming back up
the end four this thing. The guy was just right.
It was an adventure bike.

Speaker 2 (01:17:34):
But no badge is nothing.

Speaker 1 (01:17:35):
No bad is literally black and white kind of camo
checkered pattern all over it. Bits of it looked like
tape hanging off of it. You couldn't tell what was
going on. And that's a test bike. And then you
just off he went.

Speaker 2 (01:17:49):
And you see it. And you if you read MTN
spy shots of the new.

Speaker 1 (01:17:56):
There are people out there that make a living out
of camping out and getting these shots.

Speaker 2 (01:18:00):
So what coold job man? You get to feel like
a spy all the time, but you're not doing anything legal.
Look someone's test spike.

Speaker 1 (01:18:08):
So yeah, it definitely will happen. That will be a
big business.

Speaker 2 (01:18:11):
But we'll see spy shots actually when we all Yeah,
it's gonna be fantastic.

Speaker 1 (01:18:14):
I'm looking forward to that. It's one thing that's been
tickling in my head, you know, on social media, someone like, oh,
you know, not to name a few Loki media outlets,
but there will be shots on there.

Speaker 2 (01:18:26):
This is potentially the u r C fourteen V.

Speaker 1 (01:18:28):
Yeah. Look at it. It looks an o kt invesion.
It kind of looks like but we're saying.

Speaker 2 (01:18:34):
Oh, yeah, I just mashed my ktms and my Hondas together,
didn't I.

Speaker 1 (01:18:39):
What's the Honda r CV two one three version?

Speaker 2 (01:18:45):
It's the r What was the full title? It's two
on three? Is it are two on three CP? What's
the bike called.

Speaker 1 (01:18:54):
Hond What version we're on?

Speaker 2 (01:18:57):
It's the two one three Yeah, two one three V.
Oh okay, so we did get it right. And the
the a KTM is the RC sixteen, isn't it? Yeah? Yeah, okay, okay, cool?
I do what does RC stand for Race category? Oh?
Then it is RC meaning racing. That can't be right.

(01:19:21):
It says ready controlled that that well, that's it's a
hard thing to google.

Speaker 1 (01:19:26):
Actually, bet it is. I'm going with racing carigory. I
don't really know if that's not something I've ever really
thought about.

Speaker 2 (01:19:34):
For We'll do a quick google here. Hond RCV RC
traditional prefix that Honda uses to signifies four stroke most
cycle racing. The numbers, oh wow, this is interesting. The
number twenty one indicates the bike belongs to the twenty
first century, and the three shows this is the third

(01:19:54):
iteration of a specific twenty first century model line. So
we will absolutely get the RC fourteen V fair enough,
r C two fourteen V next year complicated the V
for the V obviously it's a V engine.

Speaker 1 (01:20:09):
I will just call it the Honda.

Speaker 2 (01:20:12):
Yeah. But it's just nice to know, isn't it.

Speaker 1 (01:20:15):
I guess.

Speaker 2 (01:20:15):
So there we go. I've got Reddit thread here.

Speaker 1 (01:20:19):
If you've made it this far into the show, people,
well done. Give yourself about in the bag.

Speaker 2 (01:20:22):
I appeared to have read it thread from Carol Abram. Weirdly,
that can't be. I'm sure there's more than one Carol
Abraham in the world with a check flag. I mean probably,
it's probably more than one. Oh no, this is just

(01:20:42):
people have attached to badge to their names. Because I've
also got an A and a pretty racing commenting here.
It was well as on Reddit, to be fair to them.
The full motog no it's just called this is mojip
and they've used the logo anyway.

Speaker 1 (01:20:57):
I don't trust Reddit. I'm not. I'm just I'm just
going to Google.

Speaker 2 (01:21:00):
I like Reddit as a source of information A lot
of the time. I will choose it over most websites.
If I can't find a video about what I want
to read about, then I will go to read it.
If I'm looking for product reviews and stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:21:11):
I never really use it, but that's just because I
tend to use a phone book.

Speaker 2 (01:21:14):
Still yellow pages. It's now just three pages thick. Can't
do anything with it anymore. No fire with it properly.

Speaker 1 (01:21:23):
Yeah, one of the gone of the days. We could
kill the small children with itause it weighed like four tons.

Speaker 2 (01:21:29):
I think, quite famously we know how to come on TV. No,
I think that's my Rishi s nac joke of the podcast,
So we'll just let that one slide. Quite famously. Within
my family, I think my auntie stood on two yellow
pages for her wedding photos. Because my uncle he's got
me six to six, and my auntie.

Speaker 1 (01:21:51):
Who in your family is not under six six.

Speaker 2 (01:21:53):
Well, my auntie who's actually relates me by blood, he's
married in and she it must be five to two
huge between them. So for the wedding for she stood
on two yellow pages.

Speaker 1 (01:22:07):
Oh that's quite that's quite funnycause all your family are
quite tall people.

Speaker 2 (01:22:11):
It's weird, isn't it. Except her, she's honestly because both
her kids are are tall as well, because they've got
six six father jeans inside them as well. But yeah,
she is weirdly sure, like both her grandparents are pretty
short on mom's side, which is where all our tall
geenes come from. But then dad's pretty tall. Yeah, but yeah,
we're all over six foot.

Speaker 1 (01:22:30):
Yeah. I like one of our talk it is I
was looking.

Speaker 2 (01:22:33):
Up, yeah, because he's like six four.

Speaker 1 (01:22:35):
Yeah, I have to stepped back a bit some of
the five eight.

Speaker 2 (01:22:37):
And he's fucking loud mate. When I went to a
poker game with him the other day, she really was
there as well, and he says something across the table,
but he doesn't have an indoor voice. We will know this.
So he just shouted, and she just looked at me.
Why the fuck do you need to shout all of
the time? And he just looked really taken aback. He

(01:22:58):
was like, uh what I and everyone at the table
like you don't you don't have any voice voice man,
Yeah exactly. So he kind of brought it back to
a normal volume briefly and then was back up to
his normal self.

Speaker 1 (01:23:10):
I like it. I like it when everyone's outside, like
your nephews who lived just there, literally there, and like
my two kids play outside the curls, and obviously Nathan
and Ellie his wife, family are always out there. And
as like it comes stand next to me, I feel better.

Speaker 2 (01:23:22):
Yeah, because she's a normal height.

Speaker 1 (01:23:24):
Yeah, she's my just just stand there. This monster can
do his.

Speaker 2 (01:23:29):
Own Yeah exactly. It's it's kind of a mad thing
with height. Like I I never appreciate how tall I
am until I get into kind of weird situations when
someone's like you just get off the top shelf and yes,
get it off with ease, and I'm like, oh no,
no one else could actually reach that. But I'm like,
go six one six two. Maybe, like I'm not abnormally tall,
but I'm the shortest of the boys of my siblings.

Speaker 1 (01:23:52):
Yeah, I think and that family photo you showed.

Speaker 2 (01:23:54):
It, I think he might be a little sure than me.
He might be like six there's.

Speaker 1 (01:23:57):
One or two that is on your level. But yeah,
you're you're pretty short in your family.

Speaker 2 (01:24:02):
Huh, it's mad whereas a Norday state life. And when
I get down, dropped down even like drop down Shari
who's like five five dropped down to her height, Like
what the fuck can you even do from here? But
you can't see anything? What's going on?

Speaker 1 (01:24:15):
That's how we feel normally feel.

Speaker 2 (01:24:17):
That's in little The other day, little old Lady asked
me to get the last cappuccina to Yeah. She's like,
I can't reach it. Could you get it? For a week?
I was like, of course I can. I reached it.
I think it's the last one in the shop. Was actually,
I think there's one more tops behind here. You always
get that, would you exactly? Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:24:36):
I never get that. I'm just like average mister Joe,
average wandering around.

Speaker 2 (01:24:40):
I remember once when I was in a in a
wheelchair and suffering with a lot of incontinent issues and
stuff that I've not really wrapped my head around and
dealt with yet. I was rolling along with a wheelchair
in Sainsbury's. Whoever decides to put the ten of the
Men on the top shelf was a fucking idiot or
a sayist, like it's well, the two they're reading an

(01:25:00):
idiot or a sadist. And I had to ask this
guy in there. I was like, excuse me, right, could
you just reach me the tenor for men? The first
time is like, na, what I like? Clean? I'm in
a wheelchair, man, I can't my legs are done. I
can't move these things at all. And you're just saying no,
and just like I'm not, I'm not touching that. And
I was like, right, brilliant, rolling with the next stile.

(01:25:23):
And then I found a lady. He was a prick
and ask a woman. Now found quite a tall ladies like,
could you do me a favor? Just around the next stile,
I'll grab me those tenif men, So of course, my love,
and she was really friendly about it. But weird, fuck,
you know, whoever put them on the top shelf.

Speaker 1 (01:25:39):
There's things in life you never really think about.

Speaker 2 (01:25:41):
No, it was one of those weird things. I'm sure
whoever put them there didn't really consider that at all.
But maybe I should have written to complain. But what
are you going to do?

Speaker 1 (01:25:47):
I would have a word. I'd have like physically got
her to pull them all down, like stick them on
the floor.

Speaker 2 (01:25:52):
Yeah, exactly like how many people using TENI for men
that can comfortably reach that? I don't know using TENO
for men anyway? To be fair, there we go. Well,
I've got an old supply if you need any more, Steve,
there you go.

Speaker 1 (01:26:08):
I'm good, I've stepped out. I've got a big boy.

Speaker 2 (01:26:09):
Pens nice anyway, Speaking of stepping up, Steve, who will
step up this weekend? Mark Marquez, this year's strongest rider
and winner of last year's Philip Island Motor GP race,
which remember was on a year old to do caty
that did not work with the tires, He is out.

(01:26:30):
Joe Martin, who finished the Motor GP last year in
second and won the sprint and this year is riding
a machine that should be very good around the Australian circuit,
is out. Yes, Hecke Bagnia, who rounded out the podium
in last year's GP, is not on form this year
and Maverick Vignalez, who started on the front row last year,

(01:26:51):
is also out. So who is ready to stand up
and fill the void? Because there is a lot of
riders that need to step up now that those guys
aren't not looking like favorites.

Speaker 1 (01:27:03):
This is going to be my first podium that we've
seen in the in quite a long time with no
favorites on it.

Speaker 2 (01:27:11):
Yes, I think there are favorites, but.

Speaker 1 (01:27:15):
Yeah, I wouldn't be at all surprised if we're not
seeing Aberzeki Pedromere podium something along that line. This is
this feels like a round that is going to be
a real acid trip into the unknown.

Speaker 2 (01:27:37):
Well, the door has been absolutely thrown open.

Speaker 1 (01:27:40):
That is Michael Caine blowing the whole bloody show. All
of a sudden, we've got ex world champions who are
not on form. We've got the old well the current
new regaining world champion returning back on form, had a
high he just had a holiday and a few injuries.

Speaker 2 (01:28:02):
Had five years off or yeah six years off.

Speaker 1 (01:28:05):
Yeah, world champion suddenly out with injury again defending anymore,
but ex world champion out. It's a completely unknown. Yeah,
I would. What I really want to see this weekend,
who and who's going to step it up is the
person that can just get the grips of the bike

(01:28:27):
the unknown, not a quarto necessarily, maybe a fourth place.

Speaker 2 (01:28:31):
Yeah, that's a goodoint. I had to see the quarteruro
because the door is open.

Speaker 1 (01:28:36):
For is absolutely blown wide open. Yeah, yeah, I would
say out of all of them this weekend, you' Bozeki,
maybe you're Alex Markus has got to come into it
before Friday. The underdog sort of favorite, if you will,
Alex just because his absolutely multitude of second place is crazy. Yeah,

(01:28:57):
Berzeki for his serious tear that he's on at the minute. Yeah,
Pedro for his form at the minute, and then after
that me has had some good results.

Speaker 2 (01:29:10):
Could be absolutely anyone. It could be anyone. And we
talk about Alex Marquez has missed the number two this year,
but he has won legitimately run two races this year.

Speaker 1 (01:29:19):
Yeah, he has full out won them.

Speaker 2 (01:29:21):
He's won as many races as Pecker Bagnia. Granted, both
of those guys actually Alex Marquez and Peco both won
a race because mar crashed out, but then both have
legitimately won a race racing. Yeah, quite. But no one
else has even won.

Speaker 1 (01:29:35):
Two races, No, no one. It's been dominated by three
people this year. I don't know. Is this Berzeki's time?

Speaker 2 (01:29:43):
Well, this is the thing. So I've got a list
of a few riders here that I think can possibly
do it. Fermin Aldegaer, to me is a very obvious contender.
He took his first win last time out and was
always eyeing up Philip Island as his chance, his best
chance of winning a race this year. His Cruisie Fanky
karch Eddi was adamant that he saw Mandalika is the
best chance. And frank he is just such a boss mate,

(01:30:05):
like right, and whatever happens, Fermin is riding high right
now and is going to be looking good coming. He's yeah,
And I'll tell you what that brief mention of Frankie
Carcieri there fuck me. If you are a rookie coming
into mo GP.

Speaker 1 (01:30:21):
He's the TV crew G if you want.

Speaker 2 (01:30:24):
He's got. And it's funny, isn't it is he? Can
you name any other crew chiefs? Is Christian Camerini? Is
that Peko's cru chief?

Speaker 1 (01:30:33):
I believe it is? But no?

Speaker 2 (01:30:35):
And is Rigamonti? Marco Rigamonti? Is that his name? Is
that marks cru chief?

Speaker 1 (01:30:39):
I think it is. But this is the the point
that we always highlight. There's a few names that we
just don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:30:48):
If you're not there, this is the thing. If you're
there mixing it, you'll know all these cru chiefs.

Speaker 1 (01:30:52):
If you're one of the journals or the podcasters like us,
who we've got access and are there, you're going to
have like you're in the media scrum.

Speaker 2 (01:30:58):
Not quite so like us on that aspect.

Speaker 1 (01:31:02):
Unlike us with that here, we could find out quite
easily and commit his memories to look on social media.

Speaker 2 (01:31:09):
And I'm sure it's an easy google.

Speaker 1 (01:31:11):
Who is Crucy like? We don't know them, we don't
get to.

Speaker 2 (01:31:19):
We do see a lot of Frankie. We see a
lot of frank And I wonder because, well, I wonder
if because he's English and he's friends with a lot
of the English speaking journalists before as consumers of English
speaking media, we hear a lot about him. That is true,
That is very true. Actually I haven't considered that.

Speaker 1 (01:31:39):
But as for the others, not who's pedros?

Speaker 2 (01:31:44):
Oh that's the key, we fella, I don't say you
know it. I can I can picture Tathan pul Trathan.

Speaker 1 (01:31:51):
Breadber exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:31:55):
You picked literally the one guy odds.

Speaker 1 (01:31:58):
Of that Jesus Christ. But that's my point. We've always
talked about what goes on behind the scenes. This is
why we're like Netflix series, because we get that access.
We get a little bit. See, because there's not just
a Cruisies. There's like a chief mechanic, there's a guy,
there's a PR person. You know, we've spoken to a

(01:32:18):
PR person we've had on the show. But each team
is going to happen. Job title Happiness Manager, which I
think absolutely best job title in the world. Yeah, he's
still on social media. We speak to do drop him
a message every now and against, just literally just a

(01:32:39):
touch base to say hi, beause he was such a
nice guy.

Speaker 2 (01:32:43):
I saw him walk past me when I was in
Thailand to grab him, but he just he was in
his own world.

Speaker 1 (01:32:47):
Yeah, but he was. I do drop him message every
now and again, just hi, and I just always want
to say thank you for entertaining us great stories.

Speaker 2 (01:32:55):
He was a really great chat.

Speaker 1 (01:32:56):
It was amazing. We just like held his laptop outside
his window, was like showing us the square outside his flat.

Speaker 2 (01:33:02):
Jesus still just remember that story of him with you
pea bike in the back of his van and the
van got robbed and they just nicked like a couple
under quid. I just didn't take this like multimillion poundmtorypea
bike was in the back because.

Speaker 1 (01:33:13):
But these are the things that we don't get to hear.
If anyone like want dive back into our catalog, listen
to that show because Jesus Christ Fabi I had some
stories and it was such a good guy.

Speaker 2 (01:33:23):
Yeah, it was a really cool.

Speaker 1 (01:33:24):
Yeah, it was fantastic. These are things we don't get
to hear. There's family circus that travels around the world,
and suddenly you hear about all these incidents that happened,
which at the time probably scared of his fuck.

Speaker 2 (01:33:34):
Oh, terrifying, Like you're being robbed at knife point. There's
nothing exciting about that. Whether everything is exciting about it,
but there's nothing good about that, except as with all
bad scenarios, you just got to remember, if we get
through this, it's going to be a banging story.

Speaker 1 (01:33:48):
Exactly the story of my life if I survived this day.

Speaker 2 (01:33:52):
The amount of times I say when we're out doing
stupid things, I'm like, if we get through this, this
will be a great story. Fucking help.

Speaker 1 (01:34:00):
Sarah's normal favorite saying to me is like, don't do
it again.

Speaker 2 (01:34:05):
Yeah, to be fair, though that's probably sensible. There's a
lot of things I've done in my life I'm very
happy I did, but fuck me, I wouldn't do them again.

Speaker 1 (01:34:13):
Yeah. I was sending out pictures earlier to like numerous
people are this, well, let's say nubrous, three or four
of you, this jet engine that I found on Facebook marketplace.

Speaker 2 (01:34:21):
Oh my god, this Rolls Royce Merlin engine.

Speaker 1 (01:34:24):
Yeah. I just found that it's one thousand pounds.

Speaker 2 (01:34:26):
Grand for that.

Speaker 1 (01:34:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:34:28):
If I had a grand kicking about that, just as
I said to you, you can make a great gard
garden ornament out of that, and you may have that
fucking running Oh fucking good luck. But if it's just
a grand, there's no chance you're getting that running.

Speaker 1 (01:34:40):
Trust. I said it to you. I said to Sarah,
I said it to international interpreter. I was like, I've
got big.

Speaker 2 (01:34:48):
Plans something like that's like a jet bike.

Speaker 1 (01:34:50):
Yeah, I could see myself moving fast.

Speaker 2 (01:34:52):
Yeah. I don't think Rolls Royce are making jetpike engines
like that guy that that enginees for a plane.

Speaker 1 (01:35:00):
Yeah. I just saw this thing and I was like,
I have an idea, I have a world.

Speaker 2 (01:35:06):
I think it would just be a super cool thing
to have in the garden, just a really cool garden ornament.

Speaker 1 (01:35:10):
I wouldn't have. I haven't hear mate.

Speaker 2 (01:35:13):
Fucking then it would take up that entire wall.

Speaker 1 (01:35:15):
I'd make it a hole in that wall.

Speaker 2 (01:35:19):
Not big enough for a Rolls Royce Merlin, there's not
I'd make it. It's probably not a supporting wall anyway.
What's the point of it? Oh that is actually yeah,
I know I thgured that. That's why it's still there.

Speaker 1 (01:35:29):
But what the bit you're missing? Is this a big
hole there?

Speaker 2 (01:35:32):
That's true. You could just block off the you want
to go to conservatory, Yeah, you've actually got to go
out the front, round the back, in the back door.
That's the only way. Now.

Speaker 1 (01:35:40):
Yeah, I didn't quite Sarah because she knows what I'm like.

Speaker 2 (01:35:45):
So can I go get Rolls Royce Merlin in it?
He's a guy who worked for Rolls Royce. He was
working on the nuclear submarines.

Speaker 1 (01:35:53):
Oddly enough, massive Formula one side change it for me
where I used to work always there was a chap
who left to go work for and is now part
of the Formula one teams don't have a Formula on
entry when they were okay, whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:36:06):
I think about a Formula one entries since twenty fourteen.

Speaker 1 (01:36:09):
Yeah, that would work in well actually before I went there,
so yeah, there was a chap who worked there. A
guy who used to work with called Richard. Always used
to tell us how you had this guy who's really
at the Formula one may as to get apprenticeship, but
Lotus went off there or was part of their picar okay,
but it's still apparently in the Formula one.

Speaker 2 (01:36:26):
Yeah, they turned back into the Lotus Formula one thing
is mental like so essentially this is a big tangent here.
And I know we're getting to talk about Formula one
too much, but the Lotus story in recent era Formula one,
we're not talking about the Colin Chapman area here. Way
way after that. Colin Chapman was like a multi time

(01:36:48):
winner and then started Lotus and I think he bought
Center in somehow, which is why Senna has some connection
to Norfolk and the Norfolk Alps, the Norfolk Alps thanks
to the Center film a film, the series.

Speaker 1 (01:37:03):
I will put series. Actually i've heard it's a very
very good. Have you seen the Formula one film yet?

Speaker 2 (01:37:09):
No? You forget a s Apple TV. I need to go.
You've watched it Avenue it's on the box, oh is it?
I'll have a look on there.

Speaker 1 (01:37:15):
Yeah, if not get bit.

Speaker 2 (01:37:17):
I'll watch that tonight when we go back.

Speaker 1 (01:37:19):
Well, stay, we'll watch it. I'm not watching it again, We'll.

Speaker 2 (01:37:24):
Put a night in for it. But yeah, so yeah,
Lotus and Formula one is weird because itwends which Lotus
team he worked for, So there were two Lotus entries
on the grid at the same time.

Speaker 1 (01:37:33):
Weirdly, would have been around two thousand and eleven.

Speaker 2 (01:37:38):
Yeah, so there were two Lotus entries, so weirdly, Formula
one opened up to new teams around that time. I
think it was in twenty ten open new teams. Three
new teams joined and they were Mauritia Kate or did
it turn into cater them later. I think it was
Mauritia Caterum and Lotus joined and they joined with this

(01:37:58):
amazing theory that yeah, okay, you're going to be a
lower budget team, which means that you're you're going to
have a budget cap, but so is everyone else. But
you're going to be allowed to do things and not
everyone else, a bit like CRT bikes. Okay, they were
told you're going to have the CRT bike entry into
the Formula one world, right, so they were going to
have special rules for them. They spend less money, but

(01:38:19):
they could maybe have active aero, they could do things
that the other teams couldn't do. And then all these
teams signed up, these three new teams signed up, they
got through the tender process, and then they were told you,
we've changed their minds. You don't any of those bonuses.
So there was these three teams that were like, there
was Formula one and then there was these three teams
at the back of the grid, always at the back,
maybe scrapping for the last point if they were lucky. Yeah,

(01:38:41):
it was stupid. It was a stupid time. But one
of those became Lotus. One of those was Lotus, and
then I think it was maybe a year later, the
renou Formula one team got sold to Lotus. Oh, so,
all of a sudden we had a company that was
Lotus running a Formula One team and a company that
had bought the naming right for Lotus that was running
a separate team. But one of them was actually winning

(01:39:04):
races and doing very well, and the other was at
the back of the grid scrapping for points, but both
were called Lotus. It was a very strange time. It
would be a bit like and we don't really like
it's a different The customer engagement in Formula one is
very different to customer team's EMOGP. Yeah, it'd be a
bit like if Do Cattie just all of a sudden,
we're like, there's just some separate person who had bought

(01:39:25):
the naming rights to do Catti even though Dokati was
still allowed to use the naming rights, and we're going
and winning. All the races had just mashed together this
shitty bike that was at the back all of the time.
Like it was a very weird time in the Formula one.

Speaker 1 (01:39:37):
Yeah, it sounds it sounds like a bit of a
head fuck.

Speaker 2 (01:39:40):
Yeah, it was a mess, like that should have been
a real boon that should have done to Formula one.

Speaker 1 (01:39:43):
What the CRT Bikes, It sounds like they give it,
they gave it a shot, but it sounds like that
one backfire.

Speaker 2 (01:39:49):
I wouldn't be surprised actually if we looked at that
and went CRT Bikes a good idea.

Speaker 1 (01:39:53):
Yeah, yeah, it sounds like it had potential and like
the ideal.

Speaker 2 (01:39:58):
And it brought in new customers. Was it a time
where Formula one isn't where it is now, where all
the team's worth a billion dollars is at a time
just after financial and all.

Speaker 1 (01:40:06):
The names that you've named, like, but they're over here
at the u J. What they've done you get a
k Trum engine car and your honor quids in winn.

Speaker 2 (01:40:15):
And then they were a team that were doing crowdfunding
to try and get for a season. They were selling
wings and they were selling much pennies on the pounds
to try and just get through a season.

Speaker 1 (01:40:25):
That's insane.

Speaker 2 (01:40:26):
It was madness.

Speaker 1 (01:40:26):
What was his seventies, No.

Speaker 2 (01:40:28):
This was like twenty ten to twenty ten to twenty fourteen.
Oh jesus, Oh this would have been when you're the
guy you know was working.

Speaker 1 (01:40:37):
For Oh right, yeah, that makes sense. Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:40:41):
Was he working with Kimmy Reichland? Do you know?

Speaker 1 (01:40:43):
No? I don't know, Okay, I don't know. The only
thing I know is he was there mad on Formula
one just up the road, found some way into Lotus
just up the road.

Speaker 2 (01:40:52):
Oh yeah, they.

Speaker 1 (01:40:54):
Whiffler on Whiffler Road. Apparently worked there and then some
how wangled his way at the Formula one to over
a few years and was just like suddenly on the TV.

Speaker 2 (01:41:05):
Yeah that's pretty cool, just like set there.

Speaker 1 (01:41:08):
Waiting for his pitch chains with his gun.

Speaker 2 (01:41:11):
That's fun. So you got dream big ill quite quite anyway,
back to who we'll stand up and fill the void
with Don Ferminald again. Mark Overzeki is another obvious one. Yes,
he's won one Grand Prix this year, although with the
paces had in Mandelika it should have been two. He's
won two sprints and has had multiple podiums in twenty five,

(01:41:33):
most of which have come in the last few races.
And he is on the right now and you pretty
should work around for the biot.

Speaker 1 (01:41:40):
It should On paper everything looks golden for the Approviius
this weekend. I wouldn't be surprised if you don't see
the track house is well up the order.

Speaker 2 (01:41:47):
It would be cool.

Speaker 1 (01:41:48):
It would be cool if all four were top seven.

Speaker 2 (01:41:53):
Why you're talking about stupid due Cassie from last year
numbers there no four in the points and potentially pushing
him the top ten. And that's a result. The top
ten would be although golden, one of the four is
going to be Lorenzo Savagory.

Speaker 1 (01:42:07):
That is very true. I hadn't considered that. Actually, Okay,
top ten, top twelve, fifteen.

Speaker 2 (01:42:12):
If the rends of savagory scores points.

Speaker 1 (01:42:15):
Shut him down.

Speaker 2 (01:42:16):
I'm sorry, mate, I don't think you have to be sorry.
The guy is a cracking test rider. The guy has
made a lot of money from racing EMOGIP. He's raced
for longer EMOGP than his results that he should have done.
But he's got a great race ship with the team,
good racing career outside of OGP.

Speaker 1 (01:42:31):
To be fair to him, Yeah, he has got a
fantastic racing career elsewhere.

Speaker 2 (01:42:35):
But he's not quite Moto GP. No, you wouldn't him
as a full time rider.

Speaker 1 (01:42:41):
No, he's that half percent plus.

Speaker 2 (01:42:42):
Maybe a smidge, yeah exactly, just to drop him down,
poor fellow, but probably a very good test rider, very
good feed.

Speaker 1 (01:42:50):
Would imagine everywhere else, absolutely insane, just missing that last Yeah,
it's just that bit, that one tiny bit, which is
really unfortunate.

Speaker 2 (01:43:00):
It's not unfortunate, man, He's fucking great career.

Speaker 1 (01:43:03):
He's had a fantastic career.

Speaker 2 (01:43:04):
Great life. He still managed to do what a fraction
of a percent of the world's population ever managed to do,
and that is to start more than a season's worth
of MOTV races and to have just a successful racing career.

Speaker 1 (01:43:17):
So I'm comparing him to the top.

Speaker 2 (01:43:20):
Yeah, compared to the and that's the problem. I'm spinning.

Speaker 1 (01:43:23):
I'm looking I'm looking at it from the top and
you're looking at it from the ball.

Speaker 2 (01:43:26):
Yeah. If you compare you're in the top two percent
of people in the world. You're better the ninety eight
percent of people in the world. But if you're comparing
yourself to the top point zero zero one percent, then
you look fucking struggle.

Speaker 1 (01:43:37):
You're going to really struggle.

Speaker 2 (01:43:39):
And next up Alex Marquez. He's already won two races
in twenty twenty five and has proved to be a
contender at most rounds so far this year. He's comfortably
second in the standings and right now eighty eight points
ahead of peckerbagn In third, so you can't really overlook
him for a chance to win this weekend, even though
he doesn't have the best record at the Australian circuit
his best finish is nineteen twenty twenty three. But honestly,

(01:44:01):
he's so much better this year it's like the stats
from previous years are fucking irrelevant, Like it doesn't mean anything.
Alex Marquez's previous performances mean nothing this year.

Speaker 1 (01:44:09):
No, he's blown the record books well out of the order.
Even if he halfs that fourth would be fantastic.

Speaker 2 (01:44:18):
Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (01:44:19):
Yeah. If he can get on the podium.

Speaker 2 (01:44:21):
It's hard to see him outside the top five, it is.

Speaker 1 (01:44:23):
Yeah, Yeah, he's the top five container every single rams,
fourth and third this weekend would be golden. Anything more
is just you've opened the doors to Heavin. Yeah, he'll
be there, He will be up there. He will be
a constant threat fast at weekend. It's just where he's
dipped a little bit forms of fractionally off and this

(01:44:46):
is obviously a little bit of a bogie track to him.

Speaker 2 (01:44:49):
So well, I don't know, man, Like you go look
through Axe's previous career, like oppo to this point of
MOGP Best Mession nights, it's probably about average. Like it's
like he had some really good highs before, but we've
never seen this kind of forms from it. I would
have said, like, Alex is a top ten rider.

Speaker 1 (01:45:08):
I'm based in this year on his old results, which
you can't do. So fourth or fifth, Yeah, it's got
to be a fourth, fifth and the podium's top five.

Speaker 2 (01:45:16):
Yeah, I imagine he's easy in the top five. Yeah,
and then finally, Steve, for me, the Hondas is the
improvement real? Will it continue at Philip Island. I am
really looking forward to finding out. You've already mentioned.

Speaker 1 (01:45:30):
That the honds this week and this is one.

Speaker 2 (01:45:35):
Doesn't require the top speed exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:45:37):
This is one thing. This is all about smoking that
back tire.

Speaker 2 (01:45:41):
And this is track. Arco is one round like could
be a sneaky.

Speaker 1 (01:45:45):
Here, there's some outside bets here. This is gonna be
a good one. I'm on board with the Hondas this year.
This round. I want to see them all inside the
top eight.

Speaker 2 (01:45:59):
Makee you. I want to see four Prilliers in the
top seven earlier.

Speaker 1 (01:46:04):
This is my point. I want everyone to do well,
that's want everyone. We can't have at all. I'm basically
each manufacturer on what I want their own riders to do.
What I individually like them to perfectly do. I can't
have it because I've got twenty four riders on the grid,
but each manufacturer I wanted to see twenty two. Sorry,

(01:46:24):
I've got goals for each one. I don't know exactly
where I want to be. It will never happens. There's
too many riders on the grid. I look at each
one and think, right, I want you here and I
want you here as well. Can't happen because there's too
many of you.

Speaker 2 (01:46:36):
Go do you get out? But this is the problem,
is there? We talk about this quite a lot, like
it's this idea that you want the first ten rider,
but they should be but they should be a top
ten but they should be. Fuck, I've got fifteen top
ten riders.

Speaker 1 (01:46:48):
Exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:46:49):
It doesn't It just doesn't work. And we're like, oh, well,
Yamaha have been really disappointing this year. They should be
you know, up and winning races. But social to catty, social,
honder social, prettier social KTM really like everyone should be
winning races. So like it just can't happen. But you know,
it's really disappointing when a matter. What we really need
is we need a mad season a bit like twenty sixteen.
You know, we've got nine different winners in a row.

(01:47:11):
We need to see that.

Speaker 1 (01:47:13):
But everyone twenty twenty, when no one wanted to win it,
twenty was a stupid year. Yeah, but that kind of uncertainty. Yeah,
I think we said on every show. Fuck, I ain't
got a clue, Yeah, exactly, I have not got I
think that was probably when we first started talking about
our own little league, where like, right, this makes for
predictions because we can't predict it.

Speaker 2 (01:47:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:47:31):
Que even the commentators were like, fuck, you haven't got
a clue, mate.

Speaker 2 (01:47:34):
Yeah, he's going to win. But that's the joy of it,
and we kind of want to get back at that.
That's what we want, maas. Yes, he walked to the
twenty sixteen season. We didn't win that many races.

Speaker 1 (01:47:46):
No, he didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:47:46):
There were a lot of people that were fighting him
right week in week out. He was the only one
that was always there week in week out.

Speaker 1 (01:47:54):
Other people everyone else around him just wanted to throw
it away.

Speaker 2 (01:47:57):
And that's kind of what we kind of want to
see that a bit more. I want every manufacturer capable
of doing that.

Speaker 1 (01:48:01):
This is why I always what everyone inside the sub five.

Speaker 2 (01:48:05):
Yeah, what if if Fabio had won that race at Silverston,
four manufacturers would have won races this year. That would
have been good.

Speaker 1 (01:48:16):
Yeah, that would be a nice little mix.

Speaker 2 (01:48:17):
I think we made predictions to start of the year
how many manufacturers will win races, So it'll be interesting
to go back and look at.

Speaker 1 (01:48:21):
That after this year, looking back at our.

Speaker 2 (01:48:24):
Predictions it's gonna be tough. But we both predicted GP champion.

Speaker 1 (01:48:27):
We did.

Speaker 2 (01:48:29):
I don't think either one of us got the Motor
three champion, right, I'm still in a good hunt to
get the Motor two champion, right though, Dixon I did.

Speaker 1 (01:48:38):
Yeah, I went for home bore you did. I was
close at the start of I kept up championship. Yeah exactly.
I was really happy at one point. And now look
at them, Jake. We'll get you on the show mate,
we'll talk about it. Yeah, he's listening.

Speaker 2 (01:48:54):
Who the.

Speaker 1 (01:48:58):
Wandering through the garage and some random podcast played in
the background. My name, But these.

Speaker 2 (01:49:06):
Dude, we're fucking idiots talking about and warehouse and not
remember exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:49:13):
Life.

Speaker 2 (01:49:14):
Just stroked with your pit VIP before it went out
and I've touched. Let's moveing on to prediction stage.

Speaker 1 (01:49:24):
I don't want to.

Speaker 2 (01:49:25):
We will call this one that quits. We're going along
for a show that there is very little to actually
talk about. So we gets in the same room and
we can just chat.

Speaker 1 (01:49:34):
Yeah, we could take the booze away and we could
probably still fill a three out show.

Speaker 2 (01:49:38):
Yeah, it's just much easier just to chat in person
than it is online.

Speaker 1 (01:49:41):
It is It is so much easier to just sit
here and be in the same room. The energy is different.

Speaker 2 (01:49:47):
Yeah, exactly. I find when we're chatting online it's easier
every now and again to go okay, that's too far.
Let's bring it back. Yeahs that we've got microphones and
computers and all this recording gear in front of us,
and we just chatting.

Speaker 1 (01:49:58):
Just literally literature people. What we do just get drunk.

Speaker 2 (01:50:03):
That's actually exactly what we're doing. So let's make our predictions.
Coming to this one. You don't want to as per usual,
I'll give you my sprint prediction. You can give me
your Sprint Grand Prix, and then I will give you
my Grand Prix prediction, unless you want to go the
other way round top to you mind fast, I don't,
I don't mind.

Speaker 1 (01:50:21):
We can mix it up this weekend if you want.

Speaker 2 (01:50:23):
All right, well you can already see my spring prediction,
but you give me yours first. Steve, let's go for that.

Speaker 1 (01:50:27):
What isn't too dissimilar. It's a little bit Sozeki for
the win in the.

Speaker 2 (01:50:32):
Sprint by Pedro Okay, by Fermin nice. Okay, so my sprint,
as you can see there, I'm going for a Berzeki
win and Alex Marquez second and a Pedro Acosta third.
For the Grand Prix. I'm going for a Berzeki win,
a fermin Ald Gair second and a Fabiodjian Antonio third.

Speaker 1 (01:50:52):
Nice. Nice for my GP, I am. I'm going to
go for Zeki as well.

Speaker 2 (01:50:58):
Yeah. Best feels just a solid favor going into this one.

Speaker 1 (01:51:01):
Yeah, and then I'll get a riscue.

Speaker 2 (01:51:04):
Oh nice, mere mere for a second flame.

Speaker 1 (01:51:08):
Mire for a second place. Mostly over the longevity of
this one. Then't worry about speed, wonder. It's good under
the breaks.

Speaker 2 (01:51:17):
Ah, yeah, up until the point and then it falls apart.
A lot of weird, weird corners coming into here down
the road.

Speaker 1 (01:51:26):
I think could do it this weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:51:28):
Okay from a firm in Okay, there we go. So yes,
I've Goneki, Alex Pedro. Well, that was a weird waste,
it wasn't it one surname and then two first names.
But yes, football talk, yeah quite, I'm going Marczi, Alex
make peder A Costa for the sprint and Marco Zeki
ferman albergarea Antonio for the Grand Prix. Steve is going

(01:51:51):
and Marco Zeki, Pedro Acosta, Furman albergare for the Sprint
and a market Zeki. You're Mire Fermin albergare for the
Grand Prix.

Speaker 1 (01:52:00):
So ashdown, Tim. Are we going to talk about them? Yeah? Oh,
the Fantasy league we're going to talk about Yeah, I
thought were doing a football name, so thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:52:09):
Let me just load up for the fantasy league because
I'd forgotten to add that into the show notes. I
normally put the link there so I can just click
it to give me a second. Let me load this.
Where are we currently sitting, Steve.

Speaker 1 (01:52:20):
I don't know. It's oddly. I jumped up and it
was a load of spots.

Speaker 2 (01:52:24):
Yeah, well that's because a fucking weird weekend. But I
dropped spots actually in every league because I relied very
heavily on Do Cattie and mart Marquez.

Speaker 1 (01:52:30):
Yeah. I've got some shifting about to do, but I'm
not looking too bad.

Speaker 2 (01:52:34):
I'm currently fourteenth on exactly three thousand points. I am
thy one and forty six point five points, So you
are what's that fifty three point five points behind me? Yes,
still a lot to play for. And actually, do you
know what, Steve, I'm only sixty six points off fourth place.

(01:52:58):
Still as well, and it's really mad and there's there's
still some boosts and that there's three fuck me.

Speaker 1 (01:53:05):
Seventh has got two booths.

Speaker 2 (01:53:07):
Wow. But it's all fus now because of Mark. So
this is where it's opening up, because it's still close
to the top, not the very top. That's that's gone.
Collab Spider well done. But for everyone else, like it's
pretty tight. There's a lot of play left in this
considering all the favorites are out.

Speaker 1 (01:53:26):
There's a lot of team shifts to be done this weekends.

Speaker 2 (01:53:29):
You need to not forget to do yours. I already
changed mine earlier.

Speaker 1 (01:53:32):
No, I haven't done mine yet, but I am going to.

Speaker 2 (01:53:35):
So the top ten currently Steve looks like. In tenth
place from Australia is Jason j A. Ninth from the
USA is Team punk Ass Racing, and also from the USA,
in eighth is move Moto new one. I believe we
see Momoto before. It does feel like a new one.

Speaker 1 (01:53:53):
Yeah welcome if you're new.

Speaker 2 (01:53:56):
Yeah welcome Moumoto. Seventh place from Great Britain is Real Racing,
and in sixth, also from Great Britain is Io Let's
Go Joystick Racer from Australia is fifth, and then back
to Great Britain for G five od in fourth. Then
we have the top three and there is a small
gap here. Yeah, there's the top three separation.

Speaker 1 (01:54:17):
Gap starting to peek out a little bit.

Speaker 2 (01:54:19):
Yeah, because up until that point, actually everyone's all open
and it's all to play for. So third place from
Great Britain with three thousand, one hundred and nineteen points
is Crumpers in second from Australia with three thousand, one
hundred and thirty eight points, is he'll climb racing and
then keeping their commanding lead. In first place from Great

(01:54:43):
Britain is kebab Spider with three thousand, two hundred and
fourteen point five points. But he'll climb racing in second
have a boost.

Speaker 1 (01:54:53):
And I would just like to point out I'm going
to give a nod down to fed Air Racing in
sixteen three boosts.

Speaker 2 (01:55:01):
Remaining excellent, great job for they're racing.

Speaker 1 (01:55:07):
And that is quite the thing considering everyone else is
pretty much used up their boost.

Speaker 2 (01:55:13):
So there is a big jump coming into the top
ten if nail their boots next rounds.

Speaker 1 (01:55:21):
Yeah, but he can they can certainly finish well inside
the top ten.

Speaker 2 (01:55:25):
Easy, easy, because they're also there are boosts and top
ten like I say, hill Climb Racing has one joisted
racer and fifth has one io Let's Go in sixth
has one real Jurassic Racing in seventh has two boosts,
as does MIDI in twelfth. Actually, so there is a
lot if you've got boost left and you're near the top,
like there's open market, but yeah, there's it could all change.

(01:55:49):
I think Kebab spiders looking quite safe, but now looking
at their squad, maybe not so safe. There's a lot
of do catty heavy reliance here, so yeah, good luck.
Well that then Steve does bring us to the end
of the show.

Speaker 1 (01:56:07):
It does. It's been a long show, a very alcohol
fuel show, a.

Speaker 2 (01:56:11):
Lot of just chanting about our lives. But that's what
we're It's an excuse to talk about our lives, Steve.

Speaker 1 (01:56:16):
Exactly, you share it with you all.

Speaker 2 (01:56:18):
I assume everyone wants to.

Speaker 1 (01:56:19):
Hear it, exactly. It's that kind of egotistical with you all. Yeah, wearily,
everyone's like, shut the fuck.

Speaker 2 (01:56:27):
Up, exactly. Everyone wants to hear about our kids, our lives, travels,
that disabilities, Like you know, everyone's here about that stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:56:34):
Oh, disabilities. I've got a couple of them.

Speaker 2 (01:56:37):
That rude way to talk about your children and my
friend I.

Speaker 1 (01:56:40):
Wasn't even going for that reference normally just call.

Speaker 2 (01:56:43):
Him the broken condom cutting blessed them. What a clever
little accident you turned out to be.

Speaker 1 (01:56:50):
Well, Brodie is only here because then I've slipped half.

Speaker 2 (01:56:52):
Now longer, you're going to find time where you can
man trust me. Lucky right well on that sourcy note, guys,
thank you all very much for listening. I imagine if
your parents you can relate to that quite a lot.
But until next week, stay safe or not so safe

(01:57:13):

and we will speak to you after the piland Goodbye
