    Episode 869: MotoGP Indonesia – Under Pressure

    Jim and Rich are back together to discuss all the goings on in MotoGP following Round 17 from the Mandalika International Circuit in Indonesia. First up it’s the news and some detailed discussions on the new weekend format recently announced for 2027. This will see an overhaul to the MotoGP sessions running from Friday to Sunday, with the big change being a dedicated qualifying session to determine the Sprint race grid. There was also the sad news concerning Kristian Daniel Snr who passed away following the recent floods in Barcelona. Heartfelt condolences go out to the Daniel family from all at MotoPod. Mandalika proved to be as tough as ever with heat and humidity punishing the teams and riders. In Moto3 Max Quilles took a dominant win to lift the championship with 5 races to spare. An awesome achievement. In Moto2, a first turn crash involving Alondo, Holgado, Roberts and Veijer resulted in a red flag and shortened restart distance. Alex Escrig would have lifted the winners trophy but for a technical failure on the penultimate lap. In the end, Izan Guevara took his third successive victory, meaning he now trails Manuel Gonzales by just 5½ points. MotoGP is even closer at the top, with Martin & Marquez separated by just 2 points. The Sprint & Grand Prix were overshadowed by yet more tyre pressure trouble and management for Martin and Acosta in particular. This prompts much discussion!

    Episode 866: Boring Racing?

    Jim and Rich return to the microphone and discuss whether the racing form Motegi was actually boring.  The racing was processional but there was intrigue involved.  It all started on Saturday during the Sprint.  Tires started to blister and come apart on some bikes.  Discussions were had and Michelin strongly encouraged the use of the hard tire for Sunday.  It turns out that the hard tire was actually a good tire as Marc set his fastest lap on lap 18 and Bastianini set the fastest lap of the race on lap 22.  The follow the leader race closed the fight for the championship to just 2 points between Marc and Jorge.   In Moto3, soon to be crowned champ, Quiles had a very unlike himself race and finished a close second to Almansa.  Uriarte, who could have won or at the very least been on the podium was given a double long lap penalty because his crew was working on the motorcycle after the 3 minute board was displayed. In Moto2, Guevara led every lap to win a very processional race that only had excitement before it started.  On the grid after the warm up lap, Gonzalez had a clutch issue that caused his bike to stall and he had to start from pit lane.  With Guevara winning and Gonzalez failing to score a point, the title race has closed to just 10.5 points.  Gonzalez needs a bounce back race next time out.

    Episode 864: WSBK and BSB Round 9

    Karl and Danny take you to Round 9 of both WorldSBK at Magny-Cours and the British Superbikes at Assen. In WorldSBK, Nicolo Bulega dominated the French weekend, taking pole before completing a clean sweep of all three races. Iker Lecuona was his closest challenger, finishing second in each race, while Yari Montella secured two podiums. We cover the intense battles between Bulega and Lecuona, several crashes, the red flags, and Bulega’s growing championship advantage, which now stands at 146 points. At Assen, the BSB weekend produced three very different races. Scott Redding won the opening two races, with Kyle Ryde taking victory in Race 3 after a dramatic final-lap battle involving Bradley Ray and Redding. Ryde leaves Assen leading the championship on 459 points, with Redding on 391 and Ray on 349. We also cover the latest BSB news, including Charlie Nesbitt’s departure from TAG Racing, Bradley Ray’s 2027 deal with McAMS Yamaha and the developing technical regulations for next season.   Also, Danny puts his cap on the floor and begs for some charitable folks to dip into their pockets for a great cause. Penny, who is just 7 years old, suffers with a serious condition called Cystic Fibrosis. This has many detrimental effects on Penny's health but with the love and support from her mum and dad Stef and James, Penny is a bright, bubbly young girl, given the best chance in life. The family have done fundraisers before, but nothing like this one! Stef is getting her racing licence and jumping on the back of Michael (Jack) Russell's sidecar for a race. It is safe to say, Stef is terrified of this but will do anything to help out a charity that is so close to her heart. So, with that said, lets get the coffers out and pledge some funds to a great cause! Penny, this one is for you.  https://www.justgiving.com/page/stefanie-allen-3?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL   To all of our listeners, please support the show financially if you can and don’t forget to connect with us via the social media channels and spread the word amongst your like-minded race fan friends.
