    Silverstone 2026 - Scary Speedy Bikes

    Some things are just meant to be together. You know: peanut butter and chocolate. Salt and pepper. Silverstone and Aprilia. Yes, Assen and Phillip Island are nice. But bring these bikes to Silverstone, and their aero really starts making the difference.  The result? A clear domination, where in one historic weekend the Italian manufacturer managed to lock down the grid's front row, take all three top places during the sprint and then doing the same during the main race in a pretty historic victory. The result? Three of Aprilia's four bikes are holding steady in the top three positions of the tournament.  So congratulations on that - but are these bikes getting a little too good for sportsmanship? We're not in Formula 1-land just yet, but Peter's feeling a little spooked. When does a briliant design become a danger to the game?  That might sound grim, but luckily there's still the factor of the riders themselves and what they bring to play. Good thing Mat and Peter got some thoughts on those, too!  So come join us as we discuss Silverstone. Cheers!  --- Want more? Visit our website or support us on Patreon.

    Visiting Öhlins: Pump Friction

    IMPORTANT: This episode uses a lot of photo’s, which you will probably want to look at. To do that, please watch this episode on our Patreon or YouTube. Enjoy! Trip report! Being world famous (and very handsome!) MotoGP-journalist, you wouldn’t believe the places that Mat and Peter have been. But even for them, there’s some places you just don’t get to go to. Places like the country of Sweden, for example.  Yet that’s exactly where we went, just north of Stockholm, to visit the elusive factory of Öhlins. We all know that the suspension is one of the most immediately noticeable crucial parts of a bike and its setup, so imagine what happens behind closed doors at the biggest provider of suspension systems in the tournament. Or actually, don’t! Because why imagine, when we can just tell you? So come join us on one hell of a trip as we dive deep into a world of springs, pumps, pressure and carbon in places where you wouldn’t expect it…and then stick around for the industrial espionage, the truth about manufacturer exclusivity in the tournament, previously classified devices for Ducati and machines that can condense any race track in the world into a machine barely more than a few meters big.  Interested? Then let’s go!  Want more? Visit our website or support us on Patreon. With big thanks as always to Brad Baloo from The Next Men and Gentleman's Dub Club for writing our theme song.

    Questions and Answers: The Frankenstein Special

    So, imagine this. It’s July. You’ve got nothing to do. The day’s a real scorcher, and all you want to do is just sit down in the shade, have a cool drink and, who knows, listen to a ninety minutes long podcast where two geezers discuss the potential benefits of strapping a nuclear reactor to a motorbike and other hypotheticals.  Well, whether you’re having a sunny holiday or are just getting your tan on in the mediterranean bliss of, eh, London…we’ve got just the thing for you!  Last week, we asked our awesome Patreons to send in their questions. Then, on Friday, Mat and Peter went to answer them. ‘Which ones?’, you might ask.  In which case we’d say: ‘All of them!’ Yes, they called us mad. Yes, they said it couldn’t be done. But here we are, with questions about Frankenstein bikes, superstitions about crashing, the feel of a perfect throttle and more. Oh, and stick around to learn something about cycling… --- Want more?

    MotoGP - The Fearsome Features of the Fast Five

    Jorge Marttin. Ai Ogura. Marc Marquez. Marco Bezzecchi. Fabio Di Giannantonio.  Five names, and only a total of 24 points separating them. Never before in the history of MotoGP has a championship seen this many contenders for the top spot at the halfway point, let alone have them be so incredibly close. No, seriously: we made Mat check the history books, so you can quote us on that!  It's a fearsome line-up of killers, each of a different ilk and shouldering different struggles.  It is also the perfect moment for Mat and Peter to take a break and look at the roads these 'Fast Five' have ridden to get here. What have been there strengths and weaknesses, how do they relate to their bikes and what would a victory mean for them?  There's only one way to find out, so let's just get it started.

    Sachsenring 2026 - Monaco For Bikes

    Sometimes, racing motorbikes is kind of like dating: there’s a hundred little things that seem super important to the performance, but in the end everybody just wants you to be interesting. And being interesting is kind of a challenge when we’re at the Sachsenring, because this track has one good line and three places to overtake. Or, to quote the great poet Luca Marini: it’s Monaco for bikes.  But don’t be fooled, because this year we have riders who definitely spiced things up. Ai Ogura continues to deliver, veteran Cal Crutchlow’s confidently sharing cool critiques and wounded warrior Marc Marquez’ masterclass in safe driving shows him fighting the beast inside until it has had time to lick its wounds. No matter - he’s winning anyway, setting a new record of 11 wins in a row at Germany’s track.  And now we’re neck deep into the tournament and the results are still fully up in the air - and unless someone replaces all the riders with pod people copies, there’s very little chance of that changing any time soon!  So yes, we’ve got plenty to talk about, so let’s stop rambling and start the episode…cheers!  --- Want more?

    The Bikes From Bologna

    It’s the fourth of July, and that means we have something to celebrate! Yes, on this very day, a very long time ago, a bunch of dudes thought up something that would grow into a world-changing institution whose age has reached the triple digits. So, congratulations Ducati!  Let’s be honest: your hosts are giant history nerds, and Peter has a very long history with this particular manufacturer. In fact, some might even say that the story of Ducati overlaps with his origin story!  So join us today as we’re telling the story behind the bikes from Bologna, and share some of our wildest experiences with them. Yes, there will be racing. There will be crashes. There will be plenty of victories, losses and comebacks.  And you might even find out what art hangs on the hosts’ their walls...  Let’s go!  --- Want more?

    Assen 2026 - Stones Are NOT Your Friend

    Today's race was brought to you by the letter 'A'. That's 'A', like in 'Assen', 'Aprilia', 'Ai' and, of course: "Aaaaaaaaaargh, why is there so much sharp gravel everywhere?" That gravel is especially nasty, as Peter assures us that the stones here are particularly unfriendly. And that's not even getting into those killer curbs, and the sharp corners that become extra tricky in the sweltering heat.  Today we got to see the oldest track in MotoGP deliver all those nasty surprises and ultra speedy passages. It's the kind of track that is perfectly suited to Aprilia's current killer setup, bringing us the first Japanese winner in over two decades in Ai Ogura and shaking up the tournament even further. It's an awesome performance by a young rider who's cool as a cucumber, raising the question what, exactly, is causing Moto2's former golden boy to step up and deliver in these last few races. Mat and Peter have their theories, but whatever it is: keep it coming!  And speaking of winners, according to Mat the number of potential champions this season is now up to a humble six. Looks like there's no such thing as a sure bet this year... Okay, that's enough of my rambling. Let's go!  --- Want more? Visit our website or support us on Patreon.

    Brno 2026 - Crime And Punishment

    Sometimes we get by with a little help from our friends. Case in point: Marc Marquez, taking first place with the help of Martin and Bezzecchi. The latter's help was especially unconventional, as the Bez managed to get himself suspended for a race when he decided to slap a race official.  And no matter what you say, you just can't go around slapping stewards or mauling marshals. It's a slip-up from the world's fastest hippy - or, to quote Mat: "The Red Mist can be a terrible thing!" And if you're going to miss out on a track, don't let it be Brno! Your hosts have to admit to having a little bit of a crush on the Czech track, with those beautiful sharp S-corners. And a good race like this? Well, it definitely helps! So come join us as Peter reveals why he's a fan of a very specific front tire and we wonder whether Aprilia suffers from a curse on their riders. Oh, and there's some interesting hints that seem to have something to do with Ohlins?  Cheers!  --- Want more? Visit our website or support us on Patreon.
