Pit Talk is back for 2026.

Your hosts Matt Clayton and Renita Vermeulen are joined by respected MotoGP analyst Peter Bom to break down everything we learned from pre-season testing and what it means ahead of Round 1 in Thailand.

Peter shares his inside knowledge on:

• What each manufacturer has changed over the winter

• Which upgrades actually worked

• Who looks genuinely fast and who still has questions to answer

• The technical trends shaping the grid heading into the season opener

Testing doesn’t decide a championship… but it reveals a lot.

Apologies for the audio — we experienced some technical difficulties during recording — but we’re still able to bring you Peter’s valuable insights ahead of the first race of 2026

If you want to understand the real story before the lights go out in Thailand, this is your essential Round 1 preview
