Is Fabio Quartararo the first truly elite MotoGP rider to be trapped in the series' midfield for as long as he has been?Host Valentin Khorounzhiy discusses this with Simon Patterson on the latest edition of The Race MotoGP Podcast, ahead of Quartararo's home race at Le Mans that comes on the heels of a best-in-years weekend at Jerez.The show also delves into Quartararo's decision to stay put at Yamaha for 2025, the chances of him doing so again in 2027 - and the question of whether his lack of championship opportunities as he enters his theoretical prime as a rider is weighing on him.Finally, Val and Simon talk about the rest of Yamaha's line-up, discussing whether Jack Miller should count on a 2026 extension, whether Alex Rins's disappointing-so-far Yamaha tenure is likely to improve and whether it would make sense for Yamaha to try to bring in Toprak Razgatlioglu.Want more MotoGP podcast content?

Con 7 vittorie al suo attivo ad Austin Marquez si presenta come il pilota da battere, ma il texas è stato anche il terreno di caccia di Alex Rins e Maverick Vinales, anche se ora i due non sono sulla miglior moto.Tutta la pressione ora però è su Marc, e potrebbe approfittarne il fratello, Alex, ma anche Bagnaia, Morbidelli e Di Giannantonio, che sembrano vicini. Chi la spunterà? Lo sapremo fra poche ore, dopo le prime prove.A proposito: il nostro Carletto Pernat non crede alle parole di Gigi Dall'Igna, che in una recente intervista con il Decano ha affermato che l'anno passato la GP23 era identica a quella degli altri piloti che la avevano. Praticamente gli ha dato del bugiardo, affermando che ci parlerà lui. Aspettiamo questo faccia a faccia Pernat-Dall'Igna e nel frattempo la scommessa è sospesa. Carletto non cessa di stupirci!

El piloto de Yamaha Alex Rins, seis veces ganador de grandes premios, es el invitado de esta nueva edición del Podcast MotoGP 'Por Orejas', de MotorsportNetwork, un conversación en la que admite que "no esperaba que fuera tan difícil en Yamaha". Aprovechando que el Mundial de MotoGP atraviesa el parón invernal entre temporadas, Alex Rins, piloto del equipo de fábrica de Yamaha, pasó por el quirófano hace dos semanas para afrontar algunas mejoras físicas en el proceso de recuperación de la grave lesión que sufrió durante el GP de Italia de 2023, y que sigue arrastrando. Uri Puigdemont, Germán García Casanova y Alberto Gómez, reciben la visita del talentoso piloto barcelonés en el Podcast 'Por Orejas', en el que se sincera sobre muchos aspectos de su vida, como su alimentación, con una dieta estricta vegetariana, la operación a la que se sometió tras acabar la temporada para intentar recuperarse completamente de las lesiones sufridas el año pasado en Mugello, o el trabajo psicológico que ha tenido que llevar a cabo para ayudarle en todo el proceso de una lesión "que ha sido la más dura de toda mi vida", admite. Rins que debutó en MotoGP de la mano de Suzuki, que en 2023 corrió con LCR-Honda y que este año dio el salto a Yamaha, ha pasado por tres de los principales fabricantes japoneses, por lo que puede explicar, en primera persona, la forma de trabajar de cada uno, y también el mal momento actual de todos ellos respecto a la competencia: "Es difícil gestionar la presión de competir sin opciones de ganar", asegura. Durante la entrevista, Rins desvela los muchos problemas que ha tenido este año, el primero para él en el box oficial de Yamaha, a nivel de problemas de entendimiento con su técnico, el cambio para 2025 con la llegada de David Muñoz, procedente del VR46, y los avances que ya pudo comprobar en el test de Barcelona, celebrado el pasado 17 de noviembre. "Este año ha sido complicado a nivel de problemas", reconoce antes de explicar que "me sentí cómodo con la moto después de unos pocos ajustes2, manteniendo la motivación: "Sé que puedo llegar lejos, tengo ganas ya de volver a subirme a la moto". Rins, que pasó muy por encima del tema KTM, que puede llegar a afectar a todo el campeonato, "no tengo información clara sobre lo que está pasando, pero no estaría tranquilo", hace un paralelismo con lo sucedido con Suzuki, que abandonó el Mundial de forma inesperada. Por último, Alex desvela una verdadera bomba, al explicar que Yamaha tenía previsto "probar el nuevo motor V4 en el test que se hizo en Jerez la semana pasada, pero no estaba preparado". http://es.motorsport.com  ORIOL PUIGDEMONT en X - @uri_puigdemont  GERMÁN GARCÍA CASANOVA en X - @germax33  ALBERTO GOMEZ en X - @AlbertoGomezB

204 GP disputati, 18 vittorie, 58 podi, 17 pole. Oggi parliamo di Alex Rins: io sono lo Zam, questo è #atuttogas il #podcast domenicale di Moto.it

Send us a Text Message.Welcome to Off Track Podcast and the second of our WorldSBK specials. After winning the Moto2 World Championship in 2021 Remy Gardner lasted one season in MotoGP before finding himself without a ride in the championship, a switch to GRT Yamaha in WorldSBK followed for 2023 and in 2024 that relationship continues. A stand-in ride for Alex Rins on the Factory Yamaha M1 at Sachsenring was a shot in the arm for the Aussie and he'll get another chance at Silverstone for the British Round of MotoGP.

The first season preview for 2024 and it's one of the big ones. It's time for the crew to sit down and talk all things MotoGP as we head for another brand new season, and while many important elements of the sport have stayed the same, there's a fair few under the surface changes (And one big one), that could factor into the Championship. We breakdown the major rule changes on the concession system, as well as the 2024 calendar before going team-by-team down the grid. Is Pedro Acosta the real deal at Tech3 KTM? How confident do the team feel about the state of Honda's rebuild? And can Yamaha do enough to convince Fabio Quartararo to stick around for 2 more years, even with the powerhouse signing of Alex Rins alongside? The big hitters are mentioned too. Can a rebooted VR46 team challenge the big boys, and will Bez regret not taking a GP24? Is Marc Marquez truly back to his best with a Ducati between his legs? What about Aprilia, the bike with an exhaust blown diffuser, can it challenge for the title again? What about KTM with Binder and co? And is The Beast, Enea Bastianini truly back? All that and more in an extended season preview edition of Motorsport101!

It's about time we put a bow on Season Review Season, as Dre and Cam go wild and review the good, the bad and the ugly of MotoGP in 2023, as the season eventually went back, to Bagnaia! We go factory by factory across the grid. The end of an era as Honda loses their Shohei Ohtani with Marc Marquez leaving for Gresini, and what happens to the genuinely talented team left behind. What about Yamaha? Are they about to walk into their own Marquez situation, but with Fabio Quartararo instead? And does Yamaha now have the best lineup in the sport with Alex RIns joining over? Aprilia kinda spun their wheels this season, beating Yamaha but losing out to KTM. But their riders are still strong, is that enough? And what do we make of the Trackhouse move now its official that the NASCAR outfit are joining the grid in 2024? KTM themselves are in an interesting place, after moving up to second, but a distant second. Is Brad Binder alone enough to close the gap for an inconsistent factory effort? Has Jack Miller become cooked? And was the right man flipped for Pedro Acosta? And finally, Ducati. From the brilliance of Bez and Diggia's late surge, to Marini's shock departure. And don't forget the frustrating brilliance of Jorge Martin's title campaign and Bagnaia becoming the point stuffer he was always meant to be. And what do we make of the future as the sport heads into a rocky 2024? All that and so much more in our MotoGP Season Review!

El esperadísimo debut de Marc Márquez al manillar de la Ducati del equipo Gresini no defraudó en absoluto, ni por el arrollador impacto mediático que le acompañó, ni por las prestaciones demostradas por el ocho veces campeón del mundo en su primera salida a pista. Uri Puigdemont, Germán Garcia Casanova y Alberto Gomez reciben la siempre especial visita de Emilio Pérez de Rozas en una nueva edición del Podcast MotoGP de MotorsportNetwork, en el que, como no podía ser de otra forma, se analiza ampliamente el debut de Marc Márquez al manillar de una Ducati en el test de pretemporada 2024 celebrado este pasado martes en Valencia. A la enorme expectación e impacto mediático que acompañó la premier del corredor catalán con Gresini, se le sumó la velocidad del piloto, que en su cuarta vuelta ya estaba en tiempos competitivos y que llegó a liderar la clasificación cuando bajo su mejor vuelta al 1.29.4, dejando con los ojos como platos a propios y extraños. Aunque el estreno del campeón de Cervera con su nueva moto centró toda la atención en Cheste. Fueron muchos los pilotos que se bajaron, como Marc, con una sonrisa tras su primera toma de contacto con la nueva moto. El debut de Pedro Acosta con la KTM del GasGas Tech3 fue, seguramente, una de las noticias más importantes para asegurar el futuro del mundial, como las buenas sensaciones de pilotos del nivel de Alex Rins en su debut con Yamaha, o de Luca Marini en el box de Honda HRC, donde impresionó por su personalidad, carácter, método, disciplina y por ser un trabajador incansable. En Honda han trabajado y por primera vez en mucho tiempo "han traído algo que funciona", señaló Joan Mir, que ha reclamado para su lado del box el equipo de trabajo dejado por Márquez en Repsol.

A few days on from a weekend in which he was the central figure in MotoGP's rider market for 2024, Johann Zarco speaks exclusively to The Race MotoGP Podcast about his decision to sign for LCR Honda.The 33-year-old Frenchman has elected to spurn a chance of continuing with MotoGP's most competitive bike in Ducati for a Honda 'project'. He explains why - and how the move came together - in a chat with podcast co-host Simon Patterson.Speaking at his home in France, Zarco also talks about how his failure at KTM impacted his thinking - and why he believes he will be more incorporated in the Honda RC213V's development than disillusioned predecessor Alex Rins was.He pontificates on having Marc Marquez as a Honda stablemate and candidly discusses the prospect of fighting for a factory Repsol Honda ride in the future.And he offers a detailed view of his mindset when it comes his pursuit of that ever-elusive first premier-class win.

What do you mean Francesco Bagnaia didn't win a last lap decider again? Welcome to the Motorsport101 British GP Podcast Review, with a difference! You get to hear from Dre, who was there in person covering the event on the behalf of M101, The Race and as a guest of Monster Energy! From interviewing some of the best bike riders in the world to a sit down with Randy Mamola, Dre goes in detail about what it's like to cover a MotoGP race in person! Also, Aleix Espargaro won the race in dramatic, final lap, rain-affected fashion, from 12th on the grid! We go into detail about a superb fight for the win, a big crash for Marco Bezzecchi, and why can't Aprilia do this more often after all four of their bikes hit the Top 10 for the first time ever! We also talk some big silly season news as Marco has a big decision to make about his future Ducati and the ramifications that could come from it - Is Zarco going to Honda? And where does Franco Morbidelli end up as Alex Rins heads to Yamaha across enemy lines? And finally, does Jake Dixon have a bigger role in silly season than we think? We talk his blow up on Darryn Binder and whether the sport should be pushing as hard as it is for a Brit in the premier class! All that on Motorsport101!

En esta nueva edición del podcast MotoGP de MotorsportNetwork contamos con la siempre especial participación de Alex Rins, el piloto de LCR-Honda que la pasada semana anunció su fichaje, para 2024, con el equipo oficial Yamaha. Uri Puigdemont, Germán Garcia Casanova y Alberto Gómez repasan el actual momento del mercado de MotoGP, con la última noticia de la renovación de Alex Márquez con Gresini. También entrevistamos a Alex Rins, el que será nuevo piloto de Yamaha en 2024. Un Rins que tras seis años en Suzuki llegó esta temporada a LCR-Honda con muchas expectativas que, poco a poco se han ido desmoronando, tal y como nos explica en nuestro podcast.

Tras cinco semanas de interminable parón veraniego, el Mundial de MotoGP volvió a la acción con el Gran Premio de Gran Bretaña, en el que salió como gran triunfador Aleix Espargaró, que en una emocionante y espectacular carrera le arrebató la victoria a Pecco Bagnaia en la última curva. Un 'regreso' el del español, apoyado en las mejoras implementadas por Aprilia durante la pausa estiva, que puede animar una segunda parte de un campeonato que parece tener absolutamente bajo control Ducati y el actual campeón Bagnaia. Uri Puigdemont, Germán Garcia Casanova y Alberto Gómez centran su análisis postcarrera en el podcast MotoGP de MotorsporNetwork en los avances del fabricante de Noale, no solo ya de parte de un espectacular Espargaró, también por colocar tres motos en el top 5 y cuatro en el top 10. Nuestros analistas hacen, también, un repaso a cómo está el mercado, el ya confirmado fichaje de Alex Rins por Yamaha para 2024 y los posibles movimientos que aún pueden dar mucho de sí antes de completarse la parrilla para la próxima temporada con especial atención al incierto futuro de Marc Márquez.

Welcome to Episode 105 of the Everything Moto Racing podcast! We hope you enjoy it!

With Honda admitting it won't make Marc Marquez see out his 2024 contract if he wants to leave, The Race MotoGP Podcast delves into a weekend of rider market bombshells and looks at what might happen next.Marquez didn't even race (again) in the Dutch Grand Prix, yet his weekend of clumsy crashes, forlorn midfield performance and seismic media sessions is top of Simon Patterson, Valentin Khorounzhiy and Matt Beer's agenda in our post-race episode.The possibility of Alex Rins or Joan Mir also exiting Honda and whether Assen Moto2 race winner Jake Dixon could step straight into a 2024 factory MotoGP seat is discussed too.Eventually we also make it onto talking about the racing itself, and the very comfortable position Pecco Bagnaia has going into the summer break (despite Marco Bezzecchi's best efforts), plus Brad Binder's astounding deja vu podium loss.Later in the summer break we'll be answering listeners' questions on all things MotoGP 2023, but particularly any topics or riders you feel we haven't talked about enough so far this year.

Al Mugello la MotoGP ha 'perso' altri due piloti: si sono infatti infortunati Alex Rins (frattura di tibia e perone) e Joan Mir (mignolo della mano destra). E' evidente che questo formato di gare, con il venerdì che determina l'ingresso in Q2 e la Sprint race, oltre alle due partenze, abbia raddoppiato il numero di incidenti.Ne discutiamo con Carlo Pernat e - UDITE! UDITE! - con Marco Caregnato inviato al TOURIST TROPHY dell'Isola di Man.C'è stato poi un incidente (solo verbale) fra Bagnaia e Marquez per l'uscita dai box di Marc in concidenza con la staccata di Pecco alla San Donato, che ha fatto parlare. E naturalmente molto altro.Buon ascolto.

Entrevista a Alex Rins, actual piloto de Moto GP, en la previa del Gran Premio de Francia. Además, charlamos con Valentín Requena, mítico narrador del motor en España.

Charlamos con Juanjo López, médico de Carlos Alcaraz. Además, Tornadijo, Fullana, Corretja y Zubiarrain analizan su derrota en Roland Garros ante Djokovic. La mejor previa de Champions de la mano de Axel Torres, Bruno Alemany y los enviados a Estambul de la SER. El Sanedrín Ilustrado con Ramón Besa y Manuel Jabois, y por último, las entrevistas a Alex Rins y a Valentín Requena, ambos relacionados con el mundo del motor.

We start the podcast with a sombre tribute to the tragic passing of Craig Breen, who died in a rallying accent last week. He was a wonderful ambassador to the sport, and to Irish representation in global sport in general, and he'll be sadly, sadly missed. In our MotoGP Episode, we talk about Alex Rins, who had a near perfect weekend, with a 2nd place in the Sprint, and a win in the GP itself after taking advantage of another huge Francesco Bagnaia crash, his 7th DNF since the start of last season. Dre, Cam and RJ breakdown the brilliance of Rins performance as well as another crash where we question the discipline of the reigning World Champion. Just how big a problem is this?! We also breakdown a lot of short stories to come out of the weekend - Such as Jack Miller crashing SIX times in a single race weekend. Why 10 riders crashed on race day, a brilliant Moto2 showdown between Pedro Acosta and Tony Arbolino, and why the hell the sport are hiring transphobes to sing the national anthem. All that and more on Motorsport101. Rest peacefully, Craig.

Welcome to Episode 94 of the Everything Moto Racing podcast! In this episode we discussed Alex Rins winning on the LCR Honda, Bagnaia being... well, Bagnaia, Oliveira and Viñales impressing, Quartararo's podium, Moto2 antics, Canet underperforming, Moto3 chaos and dangerous riding once again from Muñoz.

Is MotoGP world champion Pecco Bagnaia crashing out of grands prix because the 2023 Ducati is just too stable?That's Bagnaia's own self-confessed "crazy" theory for the errors that are already the only thing standing between him and a huge championship lead.Simon Patterson, Valentin Khorounzhiy and Matt Beer give their takes on it - and the implications of Bagnaia's errors for the 2023 season - in the Americas Grand Prix edition of The Race MotoGP Podcast.They also assess Honda's shock return to the top step of the podium with Alex Rins and LCR (and what Marc Marquez might feel about it), the latest twists in Yamaha's hunt for both competitive form and a 2024 rider line-up, and the reasons for so many riders crashing at Austin.Follow The Race on Instagram, Twitter and FacebookCheck out our latest videos on YouTubeDownload our app on iOS or Android Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to the Decider! MotoGP's first decider in 5 years had us head to Valencia for the final round! And look, we know Francesco Bagnaia had a 23 point lead with just 25 points available, and that it was going to be nothing sort of a miracle situation for Fabio Quartararo to win the title, but hey, God loves a tryer! It was a weekend of aggression and tentativeness, Fabio was trying everything to try and get that win, the only thing that could give him a chance of the title. Bobbling the front in Quali, and some hyper aggressive moves to try and get to the front. Meanwhile, Francesco Bagnaia was struggling with the front all weekend, and even lost his front wing aero early on! But Bagnaia survived and would go onto become Italy's first MotoGP World Champion since Valentino Rossi in 2009! We break down all the decider energy down, including Alex Rins actually winning the race. What a message that's sending out to Suzuki on the way out by the way! We also talk Ducati's place at the front of the sport. Is it their sport now? Has Japan faded to the point where Europe are now pushing the envelope in MotoGP? We discuss that, as well as some of our favourites in our penultimate MotoGP episode of 2022, on Motorsport101!
