BrotoGP

MotoGP at its first Spanish GP in Jerez race was HOT. The track was baking, the teams were on the back-foot, and the riders said this would be one of the most difficult races ever. Some racers were caught out as early as Saturday. Other races made mistakes Sunday morning. And there were a few big mistakes during the Sunday race. This race was NUTS!

MotoGP's first event of 2020 starts in a few hours. Sure, we had Moto2 and Moto3 race at Qatar. Now its time for the big show. Its time to remind ourselves how amazing life can be with the fastest racers and motorcycles on the planet finally hitting the track in anger.

MotoGP hosted a virtual race featuring 10 GP riders that could be convinced to buy a video game. It was definitely fun - but you know Kev had something to rant about. This episode then flows into any topic you can think of. The most relevant topic might be the idea that wishing for pro sports in a normal world might not be the best thing right now. The cutest topic might have been 'cats'. The most off the wall-topic is the surprising and newly formed BrotoGP Book Club. The most entertaining topic might be what classic races should you watch right now. But the best is likely Kev's idea for new content that Dorna should be producing now - 'directors commentary' of races by the racers themselves.

WorldSBK at Phillip Island treated us to some of the closest racing we've seen from that paddock for a decade. Toprak Razgotlioglu, Johnny Rea, and Alex Lowes all took home wins. With Scott Redding bagging three 3rds and Michael Van Der Mark close behind, the championship is tight for the top 5. Hopefully this is a preview of things to come for the entire year and we get a 3-4 horse race for the 'ship.

Unfortunately, amazing racing in Australia isn't the biggest story of the week. The global health crisis has caused cancellations and postponements throughout international sports competition. Dorna Sports has cancelled the Qatar GP for the MotoGP class because of a 2-week quarantine for anyone that has recently been in Italy - which of course is likely half the paddock. Thankfully Moto2 and Moto3 teams were already in Qatar from their winter test and can race. The Thai GP and Qatar WSBK round are both postponed. We have no idea where things will go from here.

Aside from all that serious stuff, this episode was nuts. Join us live next time to get in the middle of all these antics.

February 2020 is here, which means MotoGP bikes on track for pre-season testing. There has been a lot of racing news over the past month or two. Here's our highlights. Andrea Iannone still isn't riding because his B-sample failed. His lawyers are doing there thing and he might still race this year. Jorge Lorenzo is back on a Yamaha and many are stoked about it. Of course, the Yamaha won testing again. The Dorna Media Machine is making it painfully clear that Marquez's shoulder isn't 100% - BrotoGP isn't sure it'll matter by Valencia. Lastly, Michelin threw a wrench into the entire 2020 season with a new rear tire - Hooray!

BrotoGP will be live on Youtube for many of our recordings. Check our social media to join in the fun. Sorry about the delay in posting this - new software brings new issues.

Rob's Tech Tape is back, and this time we went Live! MotoAmerica Superbike racer Kyle Wyman is joining me to add a ton more experience and insight for all these questions. We cover everything from riding technique, to motorcycle electronics, to tires. Some topics we go way too far into and others we just brush the surface.

Do you take supplements? Are you absolutely certain there are no illicit or banned substances in them? How do you know?

Andrea Iannone has almost failed a drug test, with his A-sample containing an anabolic steroid. BrotoGP has no idea what's going to happen to his career just yet. But first, Kev wants to set a few things straight. #1 - Its very possible to unknowingly consume a tainted supplement. #2 - PEDs would benefit motorcycle racing in more ways than you might think. This goes deep.

After that, we hit up MotoAmerica's loss of the Yoshimura team, their replacement, and what this means for MotoAmerica. Then we talk about the new Superbike Cup and how its going to benefit the Superbike class and MotoAmerica as a whole.

The end of the 2019 MotoGP season brought a big surprise. Jorge Lorenzo announced his retirement after a string of crashes, injuries, and poor results on the Repsol Honda. Fabio Quartararo was once again unable to beat Marc Marquez in a race. This along with all the hype has Rob digging into stats. Alex Marquez was quickly announced as Jorge's replacement, to no one's surprise and to lots of complaints. Kev tries to figure out why, in the real BGP way.

All the Yamahas are finally seeing some improvement in MotoGP near the end of the season. So we finally get a real battle between Maverick Vinales and Marc Marquez. We've had to wait quite a while, but it might have been worth it. We also cover Fabio and his disappointment, Alex Marquez's Moto2 title, and some other Yamaha topics. We haven't spoken highly of Yamaha in months, so this one felt good.
