He grew up near turn 1. When it comes to raw top speed, he holds the record. Last year, he finished second in the championship. And yeah, he can hang like it's nobody's business.
This week, Mat gets out his taperecorder as he goes to have a little chat with Jorge Martín about tattoos, girlfriends, Conor McGregor and motorbikes. What are his expectations for the upcoming season? And what do Peter and Mat think about his chances?

Oh boy, it's a big one this week with a very special guest! He's won the World Championship Supersport, rode in front of the pack in MotoGP, is fast as lightning when test riding for Yamaha and has drunk beer with our hosts since way back in the day. That's right, we're having a chat with the one and only Cal Crutchlow!

But that's not all, because we've got a surprise announcement for you this week. Here's a little hint: it rhymes with 'fab mite' and can be found at oxleybom.com. Or help us out at our brand new Patreon...

It's time for the greatest test of the year, and the last one before the next MotoGP series starts! If you want to know what this season will look like, you need to be at Sepang. The bikes are new, the riders are ready and our hosts are right in the middle of it...

Oh yes, we've send Mat and Peter to Malaysia, and they've been very busy gathering every little bit of information they could get there hands on. Curious? Then grab a drink and turn up the volume, because it's time for some tall tales of testing!

The future is almost here, and it's going to be weird. We've got machines designing machines, biofuels and even something called the "banana effect". Want to know more? Then join Mat and Peter as they take a look at what to expect from the tests in Sepang.

Also this episode, we pay homage to the late but always great Garry Taylor. Mat pays his respects by sharing some of Taylor's famous wit. Here's to a great one!

Imagine one moment of perfect calm. You feel the air move around you, free from gravity. In the blink of an eye, everything becomes clear as water. It would be beautiful – if only you weren’t in the midst of a violent highside.

Racing means crashing, something Mat and Peter are all too familiar with. But what happens when a rider loses control? What goes through your mind in that moment between error and violent consequence, and what does an engineer see when a bike goes flying in ways it was never meant to?  What does it mean to learn the limits of your bike the hard way, and how can someone like Marc Márquez both have the most wins and the most crashes? This week, we throw all caution to the wind as we look at why riders crash.

If you want to go fast, you hit the gas. But what actually happens when a rider goes full throttle? The answer, as you might expect of a cutting edge million dollar speed machine, is a little complex. Luckily, we’ve got our very own engineering expert! Join us as Mat asks Peter everything you’ve ever wanted to know about what happens when you turn that handle.
Oh, and make sure to stick around for the end of the episode for some very cool updates about the future of the podcast…

 This week we give a royal welcome to our guest, the legendary Kenny Robers. ‘King Kenny’ not only won the world title three times, but he also changed the face of MotoGP forever through his legendary battle with the FIM over riders’ rights, than started his own world titles winning raceteam and  even  became a racebike manufacturer. And that’s not even getting in to some of his other (in)famous exploits…

So join Mat and Peter as Kenny takes them on a wild ride through history, from heated battles on the track to the case of a missing testicle, and discover that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Let’s go!

‘A’ is for ‘aero’
Of which some get two
‘B’ is for ‘braking’
Later than you
‘C’ is for ‘concessions’,
Which next season needs
‘D’ is for ‘dunces’
Who have little speed

This week, we’re putting the MotoGP rule book on the chopping block as we discuss the new concession system. Can you keep MotoGP exciting and fair at the same time? And what does 'fair' even mean in racing? Mat and Peter are about to find out as they look at how we got here and examine what these new rules mean. Cheers!
