Jim and Rich try to get together and chat about Philip Island and Sepang, but technology let us down. Rich’s internet left the chat leaving Jim to finish the show by himself. The guys did cover some listener feedback and got through the news together. After that Jim covered all the racing action. At PI a second world champion was crowned as Rueda locked up the 25 Moto3 championship. Hometown hero Senna Agius won the Moto2 race and Jack Miller Tried his hardest to be on the podium but crashed out. The teams then moved to Sepang where Alex Marquez secured second place in the world championship marking the first time brothers have finished one two in the history of the top class. The Moto3 race had a crazy crash on the sighting lap that caused the race to be shortened to 10 laps and the Moto2 race was moved to after the MotoGP race. Furusato won his first ever Moto3 race and Jack Dixon won the Moto2 class.

Jim and Rich review MotoGP Round 17 from Mandalika in Indonesia. After a season of relatively trouble-free speed and consistency, Marc Marquez was hit by trouble in the form of Marco Bezzecchi. It was something of a crash and injury strewn weekend with several riders missing. Through it all came Fermin Aldeguer, demonstrating why Ducati put so much faith into signing the now 20 year old. Elsewhere, Moto3 was boiling up to a big finish before the red flags came out for David Muñoz following a nasty collision with Adrián Fernández; The M3 race saw a deserving José Antonio Rueda clinch the title. Moto2 was a rather steadier affair, with the main drama coming post-race after a technical infringement disqualification for Manuel González, leaving his title position in the balance with Diogo Moreira.

As ever, Jim and Rich cover the news and listener feedback. Thanks to Gareth Lock for his feedback and thanks also to Michael Leete for keeping former show host Jim Race in our collective thoughts.

And just like that the first World Championship is wrapped up! Marc Marquez clinched his 9th World Championship at the Japanese GP over the weekend. Marc placed second in both the Sprint and the GP to none pother than a resurgent Pecco! The Moto3 race was neutered a little bit by a weird but brief sigh rain that spooked championship leader Rueda early on in the race. This let Munoz to take a commanding lead that he held until the end of the race. Rueda now has a chance to wrap up the tile at the next round. In Moto2 saw an on form Jake Dixion and Gonzalez qualify well. In the Race they both dropped back and rookie Holgado romped to other victory. Gonzalez was fast but too aggressive during a pass attempt on Vietti. Veitti went down and Gonzalez went to the long lap penalty loop. The guys also cover the new and go deep into things said by Michael Laverty.

Jim and Rich review MotoGP Round 16 from Misano in Italy. This was Marc Marquez’s first shot at 2025 title glory. In the end, a crash in the Sprint Race meant the title bid moved on to Motegi but this allowed Marco Bezzecchi to shine on an Aprilia which is rapidly becoming a match for the GP25 Ducati. Elsewhere, Moto3 served up the usual close battles, whilst the Moto2 race proved slightly less eventful. Aside from the MotoGP weekend action, the lads talk through Yamaha V4 related listener feedback (thanks Jake) and the latest in 2026 rider contract news.

The Catalan Gp is covered on this episode. With usually dull racing Jim and Rich jim and rich focused more on the news of the week. The announcement was that Gunther Steiner of drive to survive F1 fame is now a MotoGP own having bought the Tech3 team. Out on track the Moto3 race only became interesting in the last 5 laps. Jim was happy that for the first time in a long long time the riders kept out of the pit lane exit while riding 5 wide on the front straight. Piqueras took the win but despite a long lap penalty Rueda finished second and still has a commanding lead in the championship. In Moto2 Holgado lead every lap to take his first Moto2 win. The best par of the race was Munoz’s pass of Dixion going into turn one. I was a masterful outside to inside maneuver but sadly Dixion was able to get back by in the late stages of the race. In MotoGP Marquez won, no not Marc, but Alex. Alex was unbeatable by anyone but himself as he crashed out of a comfortable win in the Sprint and handed the win to his brother. On Sunday he was unbeatable taking a commanding win after an early dice with Marc.

Jim and Rich are back to talk about MotoGP Round 14 from Balaton Park in Hungary. The Hungarian MotoGP weekend was as much about the new track as the racing itself, with several incidents calling into question the suitability of the track for MotoGP action. Notwithstanding this, Moto3 dealt up another masterclass by Max Quilles, followed by more of the same from David Alonso in the Moto2 race. MotoGP was the MM93 show again but Bez, Acosta and Martin hinted at what may become a slightly closer battle out front as the season moves into the latter stages. Aside from the MotoGP weekend action, the lads talk through a bunch of listener feedback and some significant rider movements and news.

They are finally back together to discuss everything from the Red Bull Ring! They start taking about their trips and holiday adventures and then start the show off with a bit of listener feedback. Next up was all the news from the summer break. The guys share their thoughts on the attendance at the Red Bull Ring and then on the silly season rider and team swaps. Last news item covered is the 2026 WSBK and MotoGP schedules.

The racing was good in the Moto3 class as four riders fought for the lean in the opening laps. This quartet was joined by two more riders to create an exciting ending to the race. Moto was drama filled for Gonzalez. A non-finish decreased his points lead to 19 over title rival Canet. Moreira after another win is in with a shout at the world title as well.

The MotoGP class saw a surprise pole sitter in Bezzecchi, while Marc Marquez fell. Have no fear Marc rebounded to win the Sprint on Saturday and the GP on Sunday, but Bezzecchi did make him sort of work for it.

The guys get together again to talk about the action from Assen. This year the cathedral celebrated 100 years of racing. The action fast and furious as a number of riders had crashes on Friday. Marc Marquez and Ai Ogura having the biggest ones. The racing action started off with Moto3 and the pack racing was tight and exciting as always. The lunette crash at the chicane saw the Italian struck by Furusato. This brought out a red flag once the leaders had reach the 4th sector. Jim then goes on a rant, arguing that the red flag should have been displayed by at least sector two. The Moto2 race featured Moreira winning the race after stalking Canet the whole way. With this win Moreira becomes the first Brazilian to win a Moto2 race. MotoGp was also a crash filled event. The Sprint went off with out a hitch and saw Marc Marquez make a great start from the second row to win with his brother in second and Bezzecchi a strong third. Sunday Marc had another great start and cruised to victory at the slowest possible speed. Alex and Acosta tangled with Alex suffering a broke hand in the accident and Acosta was accused by Marc of riding too aggressively. Bagnaia set several fastest laps looked good and hopefully the podium will help him to fight at the front for the rest of the year.
