Episode 786: Tear-off-ic Racing from the Island


Listen Later

Jim and Rich talk about the three great races from “The Island”. In the Moto3 class newly crowned world champion Alonso showed why he is the champ by out smarting everyone by using the hard rear tire option. He forced the competition to use up their soft tires trying to keep up with him. Alonso is on another level right now and he is playing chess while the others are playing checkers. In the Moto2 class it was a great race between Canet and Aldegeur. It was good hard racing with Aldeguer taking the victory. Senna Agius the hometown hero rode through the pack to be in court place and was chasing Lopez for the last spot on the podium. Lopez crashed out thus ensuring Agius’s first podium finish! In MotoGP the usual suspects were in the fight for the sprint win, which went to Martin. Marquez who had a poor start road to a second place finish and Bastianini was the last man on the podium. The major story was the crash of Bezzecchi and Vinales on the entry to turn one. Both riders were ok after the crash which was specular but scary to watch at the same time. In the Sunday race Marquez looked like a drag bike with major tire smoke on the start. Believe it or not Marquez caused the problem by letting his tear off fall under the rear wheel of his own bike! Marquez was the fastest rider breaking the race lap record, while chasing down Martin for the victory. Martin now has a 20 point lead as the series moves to Thailand.
