BrotoGP

Crazy races and amazing last lap battles bring insane BrotoGP episodes. Too much happened in this one to recap it all in a short paragraph, but I'll try. We flub the intro (kinda), RiderzLaw gets a nice plug, and we jump into the last lap of the race. Dovi outsmarted Marquez, racing to his and the Ducati's strengths. So we try to make that sound good. Pedrosa get some air time as he helped the two title contenders pull away, especially as Factory Yamaha struggles for braking stability. Then, Kev and Rob get heated over whether or not Jorge is gonna make it. Then the shit talking really starts with Pol & Bradley at KTM, and the insane hall of shame that is Miller, Redding, and Lowes. Lots of nard jokes too, you'll see.

Racing is back after the unreasonably long summer break. BrotoGP is back. And Marc Marquez is definitely back. The mostly-dry weekend was building to an amazing dry race where no one really knew who had the pace to win... then it rains just a little bit. Once again in tricky conditions, Marquez showed us that he and his team have that shit down to a science, while two of his main title challengers dropped the ball. Rossi might actually realize now - after this race - that he has no clue when to come in to switch to slicks. And hopefully this is Ducati's one major mistake for Dovi and his title hunt. We show Mav and Dani some love for not digging that grave and getting on the box. Then we get to talk about everyone's favorite carbon fiber awesomeness - winglets! Duc finally homologated an aero fairing and people have some strong opinions about it. Lastly, we introduce a new segment called the "Hall of Shame" and Kev goes HAM on it. Enjoy!

Nicky Hayden just won the MotoGP World Championship after a tense race in Valencia! Everyone counted him out after the shit that went down in Portugal 2 weekends ago, losing his title lead. All the haters just expected Rossi to cruise to another consecutive title. But it didn't happen! Can you tell we are excited? This episode is pretty straight forward. Nicky gets a ton of love for his underdog story that culminated in the best moment of his career. Rossi chokes and we gotta wonder if he still has it - can he ever win again without the best bike on the grid? We jump over to Ducati and the amazing performance that the wildcard rider Troy Bayliss put in to win. And of course, we talk a ton of shit about other riders like Casey Stoner, their performances all year and what we expect next year with the new 800cc bikes. Then we finish this one off all classy, just like Rossi and especially Nicky.

It feels like forever since we discussed Moto2. We are still stuck in the summer break, so this felt like a great time to brush up on the intermediate class and discuss the racers leading the championship - the top 5 in reverse order. Racers make most of the stories and bitches love stories. Pecco Bagnaia is up first as the only Moto2 rookie to make an impact so far this year. Then we jump on Alex Marquez, his nepo-tastic results really getting Kev riled up. Miguel Oliveira and KTM make Rob eat a bunch of crow. Everyone's favorite journeyman Luthi sits in 2nd and has the entire BrotoGP crew hoping he doesn't win the 'ship. And lastly, we get to Franco, his awesome jerry curl, and the development of the VR46 crew. We are also giving away an amazing Nicky Hayden art print, so check out our social media for how to win that.

Rapid fire episode, WSBK this time. The last one wasn't short enough and this one isn't either - still worth it. We talk about racing first, specifically how Chaz and Rea went full on beast-mode in separate races. We even cover the American wildcard Gagne a bit. Then the shit starts flying. Kev had it up to here with Laguna's shitty cell service and WSBK's ridiculous grid reshuffle system. The perfect storm of crap meant that Laguna's best turnout in years was all for nothing, creating yet another forgettable Sunday of WSBK racing. But all is not lost - BrotoGP has the solutions. Make WSBK great again!

Surprise! Its the summer break but BrotoGP is gonna be bringing you a bunch of new content. We just got back from Laguna Seca and MotoAmerica is up first. The racing was phenomenal and dare I say, Kev was a bit surprised. MotoAmerica and practically everyone racing in it have had a huge resurgence in the past few years and thats all we are going to talk about. Toni Elias is living the true MotoAmerican dream leading the SBK title. Josh Herrin finally puts his privateer Yamaha on the box. There are rider stories left and right and we expect that it will attract fans, money, and maybe even new riders. MotoAmerica is rising from the ashes and it rocks.

BrotoGP coming at you a little late this week, but we made it. Ev & Dennis are missing so Nak from the Motos and Misfits Podcast joins us to make this a good one. Marquez won at Sachsenring again, but not in the normal convincing fashion - and the pressure came from a very surprising racer. We hit up how HRC development is going, then start talking about the title. Is Marquez the real title leader or is it just #fakenews? After covering all the variability and errors this year, we jump over to Yamaha wondering if they are in trouble. Using something resembling the better performing 2016 frame isn't a good look for them. Rob finally gets his way as the Zarco hype train starts to derail and we jump on the Folger train. We close this one out with Silly Season talks and a bit of shenanigans as always. Enjoy.

BrotoGP has been traveling all over the place this past weekend, but the race was so amazing that we had to get you this episode real quick. First off, we give away a sweet Suomy helmet to a faithful listener. Then we jump right into exactly what you want to hear about - The Doctor winning at Assen. What can we say, you can never count him out... especially once Yamaha gives him a chassis he likes. We then hit up the other notable Yamaha riders, namely Maverick and Zarco's mistakes and any potential mindf***s. Ducati showed us this weekend that they truly are title contenders, so Dovi and Petrux get a bit of air-time. Then we go over the ups and downs of HRC. We finish this one off with silly season rumors and some shenanigans about Jack Miller.

We are like the Oprah of Motorcycle Podcasts, we just giving shit away. Listen to this one to learn how to win something awesome. Dovi surprised us again with his second dry win in 7 days, #ducatimoses. The coy racer downplayed the whole thing in the press conference. But you know we had to answer everyone's question - Are Dovi and Duc actually title contenders? We jump over the Marquez crash-fest and discuss his title rebound with a solid result. Then we really start talking mistakes and errors. Did Michelin screw up this race? Do they have too much control over the series? What's up with Yamaha? Aprilia... really? Lastly, we cover some Silly Season rumors and how it relates to the epic-ness that was the last lap for Moto3.

We all know why you are listening to this episode... we are giving away free stuff! Kev starts us off with some amazing reviews then we jump right into that Zarco visor. After that, all the amazing races from Mugello stand on their own. Dovi is now aptly named the 'Ducati Moses'. Matia Pasini gets some love for producing the best Moto2 race of the year. And we marvel at the batshit-crazy that was Moto3 and Andrea Migno's first win. We lose Everett right about there so this one becomes a Kev&Rob show. Mav and Marquez get some air time for contrasting performances. Kev brings back Cal Bashin' Time for his stupid words about Dani. Then we actually compare Jorge & Petrucci. We finish this one off with a story from Mugello and thoughts of Catalunya.
