It certainly wasn’t in the script to have the third episode of 2022 on Free Practice Friday in Argentina, but that’s what we like about MotoGP™: unpredictability. While track action was postponed until Saturday, reigning Moto2™ World Champion and MotoGP™ rookie Remy Gardner kindly joined Fran and Elliott for a great chat. The giant leap to MotoGP™, injuries, partying and Remy being able to be one of the fastest riders in the world without having to go to the gym were just a few topics covered – enjoy!

The final episode of 2021. And it’s a big one. Over half an hour of unfiltered Casey Stoner. The two-time MotoGP World Champion came to the paddock for the final two races of 2021, and was kind enough to give us a substantial amount of his time fitting around his understandably busy schedule. In this episode we talk: his entry into the World Championship and how that first year changed his entire outlook on racing, what he thinks of the current crop of MotoGP riders as well as his tips for the future, *hat tip* Pedro Acosta. We also put that classic pub-chat ‘what if?’ question to him… what if Marc Marquez and Casey Stoner raced each other? This is not an episode to be missed, plenty to be learned about top flight racing and life from this MotoGP Legend.

One of the more honest and open chats of the season comes from none other than Repsol Honda rider & 2013 Moto2 World Champion, Pol Espargaro! Ahead of what was to be his best ever result in MotoGP at Misano with a stunning second place, we chatted with Pol about the highest and lowest points of his career: from battling week-in week-out with his now teammate Marc Marquez & why his title winning year wasn’t all that fun, and how a decision not to take a ride with Suzuki on their return to MotoGP changed the course of his career forever… plus, how playing the piano in front of his wife makes him more nervous than most other things in life!

Drumroll please! COTA saw a few VIPs grace the MotoGP paddock, including motocrossing Australian exports and all-round chill guys Jett and Hunter Lawrence. So we sat down with them for a chat about our sport, theirs, taking on Marquez on minibikes and how getting ripped by your childhood friends keeps your ego in check. So why do they love MotoGP? Why do MotoGP riders do so much motocross to train? And how many times can one conversation mention Megan Fox? Grab a doughnut, sit back and find out!
