BrotoGP

Wait until you see our true power!!! BrotoGP is evolving, bringing you more of everything that you want, while still keeping everything you love. This our first LIVE episode, streamed to YouTube and uploaded as a podcast after. We had some teething problems*. But I will fix that shit, so stick with us.

We kick this one off with an update on Project Catfish. Scott Redding is going strong in his relationship - Kev is worried about Veronica. Then we jump to a racer that hasn't had much love from us or anyone in the off-season, Valentino Rossi. We talk about whether or not he can win, and almost more importantly, whether or not Yamaha can build him (and Mav) a bike to win. Ducati, Marquez, and a whole host of other riders get brought up. Then we finish up with listener topics, chat comments, and eventually bring it all back to Rossi and GP as a whole.

* Seriously, sorry about the audio. That won't happen again.

GP news hasn't shut down just yet, especially if you count social media. We start this one off with something special we received from a die-hard fan and then talk shit about Dorna's job posting. RiderzLaw gets a special plug. Then we get to the amazing shows that are the Redding and Iannone Instragram stories. The main talking point this time is Herve Poncharal and the future of Zarco and Tech3. Zarco is something else, but without Factory money and Rossi potentially stealing those M1s... can Herve keep him on the team? We then spend a lot of time on listener topics: electric bikes, Josh Herrin punk-ing everyone, Troy Bayliss racing ASBK, and a bunch more.

The season is over and we talkin' bout practice. The factories take one day off, then start showing us their plans for 2018 at Valencia. Yamaha brought a new motor, Ducati didn't bring much, HRC brought a whole new bike, and all the other riders jumped around to different bikes. We give Miller some time, discuss Iannone's need for mustache winglets, and talk a bunch more shit. Then we jump into the Jerez test where Johnny Rea showed everyone that whoever is making the WSBK regulations missed the mark (again). Kawi is way ahead, Duc is way behind, and everyone else still isn't going to win. Rob gives the full tech-talk rundown on the 2018 WSBK regulation and why they probably won't work... at least until Kev and Ev tire of it all. Then we finish this long episode off with listener questions.

There was a slim chance that Dovi would win the title, so slim that we (everyone but Ev) probably shouldn't be disappointed - but we are. However, there's no way we can say that the last race of the year wasn't ridiculously exciting. Kev kicks us off with a sad story, but things liven up quick. Marques is the GP beast that can crash but not crash and still win the title. Dovi is every man, the underdog, world's fastest dad. Yamaha shit the bed for the latter half of the season, so much they decided to start testing early. Rins goes full #movember and puts in a solid performance, but then has a rough night with Suzuki. And Jorge DYES HIS HAIR. This episode is all over the place, but its not like you weren't expecting that.

Conspiracy BrotoGP Episode!! And Ev isn't even here this time. Sepang went down and we have so much Ducati to talk about. Jorge got Map8'd, let Dovi catch up, and almost tucked the front. We start off with that, then Kev goes crazy at tearing down the HRC-Dorna plot in the GP paddock. HRC subsequently cuts his internet off even though we had moved onto Zarco's performance and the issues Factory Yamaha is having. We round out GP by discussing Jorge's slow transformation into a real Ducati rider. Then we jump to Moto2 and Franco, the first successful VR46 Academy rider. Rob eats a bunch of crow talking about KTM's Moto2 performance. Then we finish this one off with a lot of listener questions.

After Zarco somehow led the French GP in Australia, you know this episode of BrotoGP was going to be nuts. I think Kev makes a detailed analysis of 2-3 movies from my childhood in here. We kick this one off talking about whether or not this round is a contender for GOAT race (greatest of all time) and figure out how someone can give no f***s and still win. Then we talk about Yamaha's last minute resurgence to double podium and Mav's dog. We move on to Duc's lack of team orders and their choke-fest of a race. Irrelevant Dani Pedrosa, Indiana Jones, and Suzuki's recent form get plenty of air time. Then things go nuts with more conspiracy theories and the best listener questions we've ever received.

A wet weekend at Motegi produced an amazing GP race, so BrotoGP had to bring you another amazing off-the-wall episode. We start with some listener questions (kinda), then Kev drops knowledge on the real position of Maverick in Top Gun and in GP. Then we move onto Dovi where Kev & Ev come up with a new Dovi-pun on the spot. Dovi rode way smarter than MM, and it paid off. We go over Marquez's mistake and someone even brings up a huge Dorna-Marquez conspiracy. Mind blown. Then we jump on Yamaha and their failed attempts to improve on peak frame. Suzuki and KTM are shown no love. We tell everyone what's up with the new winglets. We cover more listener questions. Then we even talk about Ben Spies' return to MotoAmerica. I'm probably forgetting a lot. Enjoy.

We did it again - here's another off-the-cuff long episode that went a bit nuts. This time we are talking production racing. Jonathan Rea just won the WorldSBK championship, but I'm not sure that anyone outside of his family and his team were that stoked on it. We talk about the woes that WSBK is having, why Duc didn't challenge for the title, what's going on with Camier and MV, and a bunch of other shit. Then we segue to improving WSBK competition and viewership, both with our hopes for rule changes and any potential for Americans in the series. We use that to transition to MotoAmerica, where we give you the whole rundown. Toni and Suzuki destroyed everyone and the racing was great. We also discuss the talent in MA and where we hope its going to end up. But MA is taking a huge risk next year with rule changes, some we like and some we don't. There are quite a few tangents in there too. Then we finish this off with listener questions again.

You waited, but this one is worth it. Some fans have asked for longer episodes, so here you go - 2 hours of BrotoGP madness! Kev kicks us off with a mind-melting story, then we jump right into Misano. Marquez showed us his best old school Rossi impression, toying with his competitors all race. We talk about Duc, we talk about rain, we cry over Petrucci. Then we move onto Aragon... and more Marquez. He didn't have the feeling, heat was a huge variable, but he still won. The championship has firmly swung in his direction. We ain't mad, just booooooooo. Kev explains. Of course, we gotta talk about Rossi's broken leg putting everyone behind him to shame. Dani's whining about Rossi gets some time. And Kev expresses his disappointment for Maverick's performances. We cover Nick Harris, KTM, and jump into listener questions too. Did I tell u this one was long? Enjoy.

We are stoked on Silverstone this year, mostly because everyone likes to cheer for under-dogs. Dovi won another race and then told everyone he wasn't the fastest racer on track, #humblebrag. He now has the most wins this season, is leading the championship, and somehow is able to make every tire last race distance. We then move on to Marquez and HRC's blown motor. Some of us cheered, some didn't, but everyone is stoked that the championship is tighter than ever. Then we hard transition to the factory Yamahas, their differing tire strategies, whether or not the Misano test did anything, and Mav's confidence for the remaining tracks. Lastly, tons of follower questions & topics... MarcVDS collusion, the KTM/Pol/Bradley/Kallio insanity, and even cake!
