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!

 Earth has finished another lap around the sun, again not breaking it’s record of 365 days. But while the Big Blue Marble isn’t going to change speed any time soon, the same can’t be said for the bikes in MotoGP. 

 So today, at very edge between 2023 and 2024, Mat and Peter dust off their crystal balls to take a peak at what the future holds for all our favorite competitors. We’re going through the bikes of 2024, machine by machine, and see what we can expect of them. So cheers to the new year, and enjoy!

The holidays are here, so we've invited a special guest to join us around the fire. Say hello to Paul Trevathan, an industry veteran and MotoGP crew chief for KTM.  You might know Paul from his work with riders like Mika Kallio, Miguel Oliveira  and Pol Espargaro.

Well, this week he's sitting down for a long chat with Mat and Peter...and they've got a lot of questions! So don't be worried if this episode ends up a little longer than usual - consider it a holiday present!

 He’s a legend. He’s changed the face of MotoGP. One of our hosts wrote a book about him. This week, Peter and Mat share some of their favourite memories of self-proclaimed ‘Poet of the Line’ Valentino Rossi!
From the time Mat saw a twelve year old Valentino riding mini bikes to the day Peter discovered why ‘Il Dottore’ always carried a rubber band, there is a lot to talk about when it comes to Rossi. So join us by the fire and warm yourself with some of our favourite stories about number 46…

We all love racing bikes - so why aren't more people watching? The answer involves money, something our hosts are terrible with. That's why we asked someone else to explain it for us...

He's here to explain where the the profit comes from and how money works in MotoGP. So join us and strep in, as we dive in deep and follow the money!

It's over. The final race has been held, a new champion has been crowned and the teams, bikes and drivers retreat back to their homes to train for next year. But we're not done with MotoGP yet, as we take a look at this last hurrah and reflect on what has been a wild, wild season. So pour yourself a cold one, get comfortable, and let Mat and Peter treat you to an extra long season finale!

Wait, season finale? Well, stick around to the end, because we've got some great plans to keep you up to speed during the holidays. Because MotoGP might take a brake on us, but we're not doing the same...

Mat and Peter are angry - no, furious! - as any chance for a spectacular finale evaporates like rubber from a bad rear tyre. What caused Martin's rotten luck, and could it have been prevented? And what's it like to be within the paddock in these last few races, as the pressure is building and there is no place to rest? Grab a beer and let Mat and Peter find out the answer for you, in this new episode!
