A quick intro show from Rich to welcome Karl Hunn and Danny Smith onto the pod as co-hosts for 2026 and beyond. Karl & Danny will focus on World & British Superbike race coverage, to compliment Rich & Jim’s ongoing efforts with MotoGP, as well as Jake Rower who recently came onboard to focus on Moto-America. A warm welcome and huge thanks to all of the new co-hosts.

As ever, the aim is to keep the pod moving forward with a wide range of coverage across the various road racing series, complimented whenever possible with event attendance and interviews.

The liberty show is finally here!  This topic was so huge that Jim and Rich had to add some extra help in the form of former host Skyler Vickroy and new Moto America host Jake Rower.  All four guys cover everything Liberty.  Can Liberty do for MotoGP what it has done for F1?  How many races are too many?  Short races?  Do we need Moto2 and Moto3 at every round?  Where do you get the new talent from?  What about the stories?  The list is endless and that is why this show is a monster!

The '27 MotoGP silly season kicked off this past week and Jim and Rich could not help but join in on the fun and make a few bold predictions.  After the guys run through a couple of news items, they put out a call to Australia to get more information on "The Bend" near Adelaide. Then they discuss their 2027 MotoGP teams line ups.  Both Jim and Rich have some bold predictions that you should find very entertaining!

This time Jim and Rich enjoy a little bit of off-season prediction by coming up with their top-10 lists of up and comers in the Moto2 and Moto3 classes. These are the riders they feel have marked themselves out as possibilities (or in some cases nailed on certainties) for MotoGP action in the seasons to come. Let us know ([email protected]) which ones you agree or disagree with and if there are any names that have been egregiously overlooked.

Jim and Rich are back for the first time in 2026, this time to have a run through the news, rank the entire 2025 MGP grid, justify their top 10’s and hand out the annual wooden spoons. Incidentally, after some minor confusion as to where the concept originated, post-show Rich leaned on Google and determined that "Wooden Spoon" (as a prize for coming last) stems from 19th-century Cambridge University, as a booby prize for the lowest math exam score, later adopted into rugby in 1894 and subsequently other sports and competitions.

Jim and Rich review the final MotoGP Round from Valencia in Spain. With two of the three championships already decided, the main interest for the weekend was on the Moto2 title decider, with Diogo Moreira triumphing in the championship ahead of his move up to MotoGP with LCR Honda. Moto3 saw a maiden race winner in Adrián Fernández, whilst MotoGP saw a sprint win for Alex Marquez and a GP win for Marco Bezzecchi, rounding out a stellar season or both riders.

Elsewhere Jim and Rich chat through some news, listener feedback and touch on the end of season MotoGP test, held in Valencia on the Tuesday following the race weekend.
