BrotoGP

Since we failed at recording last week, we've got twice as much to cover with Aragon MotoGP AND Magny-Cours WSBK. We cover the highlights, namely Iannone with Suzuki and Ana Carrasco in WSS300. But of course there was a bunch of other drama: Jorge whining about Marquez and their make-up phone call, Yamaha's irrelevance in GP, Aleix Esparagaro's performance on the Aprilia, and a bunch of other random things. Then we finish off with a few listener questions.

Off-track action overshadowed what turned out to be some average races this weekend at Misano. Marquez tried to shake Rossi's hand. Romano Fenati went WAY TOO FAR and is now completely ousted from the paddock. And Dani Pedrosa might be signing to test ride for KTM.

But wait, there was actually a race too. Yama-who showed us once again that they don't have a handle on the tires, electronics, or anything needed to win in GP anymore. Jorge made a somewhat rare mistake. And Dovi rode a nail-bitingly perfect race.

We finish this one off with some interesting listener questions, including a few that have nothing to do with MotoGP.

MotoAmerica's Kyle Wyman sits down with BrotoGP for a big heart-to-heart interview. We've all seen him race and on social media, but do we really know who he is as a racer, a team owner, or as a person?

First we talk about the upcoming race in New Jersey and why its previously been a great round for him. We jump back to the last round at PittRace and figure out what changed. Rob get's to talk tires a bit as Kyle describes the difficulties with some mid-season changes from Dunlop. Then things get real serious as we find out who Kyle is and what trials and tribulations he's faced throughout his life and racing career. He's living the dream of racing motorcycles for a living and he's worked for it.

Famous - or perhaps infamous - few design illicit the response that those of Pierre Terblanche do. On this episode we delve further than ever before as we analyze the motorcycles of the controversial South African designer. Just how much do our reactions to Pierre’s machines reflect our own worldview? Find out on BrotoGP After Dark.

There's no race to talk about because MotoGP cancelled the Silverstone Grand Prix due to unsafe track conditions. The whole weekend was a huge debacle that left everyone very unhappy and one rider seriously injured. BrotoGP isn't going to leave all our fans hanging. So here's our take on all the events of the failed GP weekend in the UK. Stick around until the end for 'BrotoGP Awards'.

Last weekend, we were surprised when Jorge Lorenzo rode like someone else. This weekend in Austria, he proved the New Jorge is here to stay - and he can win. Marc Marquez showed us again that he can tranform from WinOrBin to WinOrPodium. Dovi put up a fight, but one bigger mistake took him out of the running and now Ev is worried about him. Yamaha is still down in the dumps. And Scott Redding blew up in all the right ways.

BrotoGP was also at Sonoma Raceway this past weekend for MotoAmerica. We interviewed some racers like Kyle Wyman, Josh Herrin, and Josh Hayes, went pro with some questions in the press conference, and had an amazing race weekend. There's plenty to talk about with MotoAmerica and the future of American Road Racing - maybe Scott Redding will be part of it.

We cover Moto2 real quick, with a few highlights. Then we finish this one off with some listener questions from Instagram.

I'm not even sure Jorge Lorenzo expected his performance at Brno. Maybe he felt that result coming, but there's no way he knew that everything about his race would be very anti-Jorge. I clapped and he deserved it. Is he finally embracing the villain role - I doubt it, but we can hope.

Dovi, Jorge, and Ducati put together an amazing weekend at a bogey track. Marquez showed new levels of maturity in his 100th race in the premier class. And Yamaha faltered ever so slightly... again with some help from Stephan Bradl. BrotoGP breaks all that down and Kev drops a few surprises in there for you too.

Then we get into Moto2 and the continuing lack of Spanish winners. Pecco, Balda, and Luca Marini are showing what VR46 has to offer the pro road racing world. Oliveria improved his QP woes and is riding the KTM like the title challenger we knew he would be. We expect the whole Moto2 season to continue to build so keep watching.

We haven't found the time this season to talk about Moto2 and Moto3 - until now! Here's all the Moto2 talk you could ever want and a good chunk about Moto3 as well. There are many many sidebars about the talent progression through the GP classes, VR46 and their input into the development of riders, and how silly season is impacting our excitement for each class. And of course, we finish this one off with a few listener questions from social media. Kev even makes a drunk GOAT prediction - enjoy!

Marc Marquez pulled his normal performance at Sachsenring with pole position by a narrow margin and a very controlled win. You may or may not have been surprised - Rob was, Kev wasn't. Thankfully, there were better stories behind him in Yamaha and Ducati's performances.

We then hit up Dani's announcement, the potential arrival of Fabio Quartararo in the class, and bag on Simon again. Kev's point is mostly unchanged on that last one. We try to finish off with a bunch of listener questions. Somehow WSBK and the potential explosion that could be their Silly Season comes up to keep this one going.

It's time to slow things down for Rob's Tech Tape. I only have 4 related questions this time, so we are going to go into much greater detail. All these questions are about riding skills, mostly for track use. There are many ways around a race track, but this is how I do it and importantly - why I do it and why I think it can work for everyone.
