Jim and Rich are back hosting the show as MotoGp raced in Le Mans this past weekend.  The weather, as usual played its part in creating controversy and chaos for the race teams and riders.  For Jim and Rich this means rants.  The show is filled with both guys ranting about cutting the length of the Moto3 and Moto2 races.  Jim really goes off on a tangent about Liberty wanting to run a MotoGP race in Miami on the F1 track.  This led to him also ranting on the attendance and the USGP in COTA and how Liberty can increase the number of spectators at US rounds.  Rich rants on about the use of social media, the lack of coherent story telling with the Moto3 and Moto2 riders and he rants about time management that causes Moto3 and Moto2 races to be reduced in laps for no apparent reason.  Oh and somewhere in this 2 hour long show the guys actually discuss the news and the actual racing from France.

World Superbike Round 4 came from Balaton Park, Hungary and British Superbike Round 1 from Oulton Park in the UK. A lot to cover this week with Karl and Danny at the helm. The top riders of each discipline showed exactly why they are at the top, with neither dropping any points.....however, it was not plain sailing for the current leader of WSBK, Nicolo Bulega, and a red flag helped him out no end. Oliveira suffered a huge crash and there were mechanical issues left, right and centre. We also cover Cookstown 100, the real road racing from Northern Ireland with Michael Dunlop breaking records again. 

Unfortunately we bring you sad news with the death of Kamil Holan at the North West 200. Our thoughts go out to all who knew Kamil.

MotoGP Round 4 came from Spain’s iconic Circuito de Jerez - Ángel Nieto. Weather was a feature this year, with a crazy MotoGP Sprint where the heavens opened and one Marc Marquez rode his luck to snatch a somewhat surprise win. Sunday offered up dry conditions and masterclass races from Max Quiles and Senna Agius in Moto2 and Moto3 respectively. Sunday’s MotoGP race was a humdrum affair, with the main talking point being Marc Marquez’s big early crash and his ongoing struggles with this year’s Ducati. On next to mighty Le Mans.

Speaking of France, a huge shout out to Sylvain Guintoli, who took part in the recent London Marathon. Sylvain ran in honour of his late son Luca, who tragically died aged 6 of cancer last year. Guinters completed the Marathon in 3 hours and 47 minutes, astonishingly doing so in full racing leathers. So far, this Herculean effort has raised ~£155k. The donations page is still open so please contribute if you can to this worthy cause and in recognition of a massive achievement in both physical and mental endurance.

After traveling to COTA for the races Jim has the show ready and it's a long one.  Jake Rower joins Jim and Rich to discuss all the action.  Jim and Jake had a great time watching the races together at the track.  The guys talk about COTA, where to watch from and their thoughts on the weekend as a whole.  Moto3 was a great race that was decided on the last turn of the last lap.  Moto2 started off with a bang, as seven riders crashed in turn 11 on the first lap.  That race was shortened to 10 laps.  Lastly the MotoGP Sprint was a true thriller that kept you on the edge of your seat.  Sadly the main event on Sunday was a bit of a bore.  Jake got a surprise interview at the airport on his way home and Jim added in a few man on the street interviews as well.

Join Karl and Danny talking about all that is WSBK from round 2 in Portugal. Portimao became the Bulega masterclass.  After Sam Lowes set the early pace on Friday, Bulega turned it into a perfect round, winning Race 1, the Superpole Race, and Race 2 to complete a hat-trick on the Algarve rollercoaster.

Behind him, the bigger story was who could stay closest: Iker Lecuona emerged as the main challenger, finishing second in all three races, while Miguel Oliveira gave the home crowd something to cheer about with back-to-back Sunday podiums after also taking a Race 1 rostrum. By the end of the weekend, Bulega had stretched his advantage at the top of the standings to 124 points, with Lecuona next on 68.

Next up will be coverage of MotoGP round 3 from COTA with Jim and Jake trackside, bringing you the best of the action.

MotoGP Round 2 came from Brazil’s Autódromo Internacional de Goiânia, hosting a round for the first time since 1989. An action packed weekend, with crazy weather, a massive crowd, some good racing and more than a fair share of chaos with sink holes and track break-up detracting from what was, overall, a great reintroduction for Brazil onto the MotoGP calendar. Its early days in the championships, but already Moto3 and Moto2 are revealing the likely front runners. In MotoGP, track conditions had a major bearing on the outcome but Aprilia continue to give Ducati pause for thought. Next stop COTA, with Jim trackside.
