Sepang 2026 - Everybody's Getting Stoned
It's been said that to a rider, Sepang is 'the worst 45 minutes of your year', both physically and mentally. The first goes without saying: you're manhandling what is essentially a giant combustion engine on wheels through a track in the tr
Philip Island 2026 - The Final Battle
Welcome to the race that wasn't. It seems Philip Island knew that MotoGP was done with her, and the lady decided that those bastards didn't deserve her anyway. Through the power of being wetter and windier than ever before, she forced the r
MotoGP - Squeezing the Lemon
Sometimes, the future is uncertain and nobody can predict what will happen next. Not only is the current tournament ramping up towards an unpredictable finale (and a potential race at Qatar, if the world hasn't ended by that point) but the
Mandalika 2026 - Close Meetings & Strong Fingers
Sometimes a weekend just can't help but go your way. Take Marc Marquez, maybe the luckiest man on the grid right now. It seems this tournament really is going down to the wire, and playing a giant part in that is just how good these Aprilia
Motegi 2026 - Smokin' Arses
Sometimes, a race summary sounds surprisingly like a rather laborous romantic rendez-vous: there was quite a lot of tension, not a lot of excitement and the outcome involved lots of rubber while each party involved is trying to finish as fa
MotoGP - Way Too Fast, Way Too Furious
With a small break in the racing this week, you'd think we’re taking it easy. But unsurprisingly for a sport in which speed is everything, things can move quite quickly and your hosts Mat and Peter have some big things to discuss this week.
Red Bull Ring 2026 - When Sharks Strike
Smile, you son of a bitch!* When most people picture the landlocked mountains of Austria, the last thing they think of is shark attacks. So imagine our surprise when we saw the Shark gobble up the competition this week at Red Bull Ring, eve
Misano 2026 - A Kink or a Corner?
Sometimes, fights fight over the silliest things. As their highly-paid producer, I can tell you that Mat and Peter are no different. This weekend, the subject of Mizano's Curvone came up. You know, that famous 11th turn at San Marino. Excep
Interview - Bob Barnard is Barely Bothered
Sadly, we've lost Philip Island. So now what’s going to take us back to Australia? Well, welcome to the Adelaide Street Circuit. It’s 4,13 km (2,57 miles) long, has 15 turns and might run straight through some very special parkland. It’s al
Aragon 2026 - Aerodynamics and the Rubber Band
Sometimes, small mistakes make for big excitement. Case in point: Marc Marquez, neglecting to disengage the rear holeshot device, sparks flying as the battle for first becomes an open question. See, there's something interesting about this
MotoGP Legends - Riding and Racing Honda's RC211V
You want to ride a MotoGP-bike? Yeah, good luck with that: everyone knows these are machines made for murder, beasts of technology that only those gifted with near-superhuman reflexes can manage. These days, those rides have about as much i
MotoGP - These Mad And Mighty Machines
No race? Nope! It's the second summer mini-break, giving everyone some time to catch their breaths. It also raises the question what a million dollar rider does to relax. Drinks at a tropical beach, anyone? That'd be our plan, surely. Not s
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 th

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
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
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
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 di
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 sto
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
Robin Tuluie - Always Great To Be Banned!
Ah, the holeshot device. If you've heard Mat and Peter talk about it before, you'd fear to think what would happen if they ever met the poor devil who invented it... ...well, his name is Robin Tuluie and he's joining us this week! To say Tu
Balaton 2026 - Gentlemen's Duel
Last year was the first time we went to Balaton, and the result wasn't great. This year? Hate the track, love the riders. And I say 'riders', plural, because it takes two to tango. And people, did we get one hell of a dance between Acosta a
Mugello 2026 - Making Friends
It's a party at Aprilia and occasion for some very cross glares over at Ducati this Sunday at Mugello. Good race? You bet! So let's go over to Italy, and see what caught the eye of our hosts Mat and... ...wait, I'm getting word that Peter i
MotoGP - We Are Not At War!
You've heard it here first, everyone! THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAR RIGHT NOW. 'What war?', you might ask? Well, I couldn't possibly tell you! Maybe the Duke of Luxembourg decided to invade Thailand. Maybe it's the manufacturers versus Liberty
Catalunya 2026 - A Stressful Day
Well, that wasn't what we expected, nor what we wanted. Bloody disaster! In case you're reading this from some far-off future where people (hopefully) don't remember this race very well anymore, know that we had a pretty mess on our hands w
France 2026 - Screwed at Les Mans
Oh dear, what a weekend! For want of a screw, the race was lost. Or, maybe I should say: for want of a proper screw. Yes, I'm talking about Marc Marquez, him having a screw loose leading to a rather painful absence for the man who'd absolut
Valencia 2006 - Holy Cow, It's The Best Race Ever!
Come on, it's time to check out the best race ever. You might have noticed, but a lot has been changing in MotoGP recently. New owners, new rules, new tracks and the end of the 1000cc-era. It feels weird, doesn't it? Most humans, when unsur
Special Jerez Update - Tales of Testing!
VIDEO ALERT! We've got Mat and Peter live from Jerez, with their mugs on camera! I'd click this, if I was you! (https://youtu.be/KCAFvS8saOE) Normally after a race, you just pack up and go. If you hurry up, you've got just enough time to ce
Jerez 2026 - The King of Chaos' Dancing Days
VIDEO ALERT! We've got Mat and Peter taking a stroll across Jerez, and that's the episode version I'd most recommend! (https://youtu.be/PMAEhkofgNA) There's this thing called the law of opposites. You know: for every Ying, there's a Yang. F
Tech Talk - Super Speedy Superbikes
Here's MotoGP. Here's World Superbike. Quickly: what's the biggest difference? Speed, of course! Or at least that's what the answer would have been at any point in history. But here we are, at the threshold of the biggest rule shake-up in t
