Podcasts about Aprilia

En nuestro canal “hermano”, Garaje Hermético, hice este video por supuesto refiriéndome a coches… he probado menos motos que coches, pero algunas me han asustado. Y mucho. Estas son las 10 que más me asustaron por un motivo u otro. Con casi todas me reconcilié y acabé rodando a gusto con ellas… con casi todas, ya os diré cuáles no. Es curioso que hay dos Kawasaki y dos Yamaha… Lo de Kawa tiene su lógica, pues siempre ha hecho motos muy “bestias”. Muchas de ellas las probé más como aficionado que como probador… pero en el fondo es lo mismo, te asustan igual sea cual sea el motivo por el que te “acercas” a ellas. Las he ordenado por orden alfabético con una excepción… ya veréis el motivo. Vamos a verlas y ya me diréis vuestra opinión. Aprilia XRV 550. ¿Una moto de enduro bicilíndrica? Pues sí, Aprilia se atrevió… La moto era una joya de excelente chasis de aluminio y un motor en V a 77 grados con 449 cm3 primero y luego 549 cm3, que fue la que probé. Es una moto que me sedujo, pero nunca me gustó para enduro… para supermotard, me pareció perfecta. BMW K75. Probé la K75 después de comprarla… con un par… Pero el día del estreno, cuando iba hacia casa, afortunadamente solo, en una curva incline bastante, pise una irregularidad leve y la moto comenzó a cabecear de un lado a otro que daba miedo. Me asusté la verdad. Cagiva Freccia 125. Muchas pensareis “¿Te asustó una 125?” Pues no, una 125 no, esta 125 sí. La que probé era la última de C12R que estuvo en el mercado hasta 1990 y que daba la bonita cifra de 29 CV. Ducati Monster. Que nadie se ofenda: para mí un verdadero “Monstruo”. Era 1991 o 1992 cuando se empeñaron que probase una Monster en un cursillo en el circuito del Jarama, en Madrid. Pero llovió. Y el dichoso motor arriba corría demasiado, abajo coceaba demasiado y me daba miedo que me llevase al suelo y llevarlo en medios era para mí una obsesión. Honda CR250R. En 1997, Honda da un puñetazo en la mesa y presenta la primera moto de off road con chasis perimetral de aluminio, la CR250R. En esos tiempos corría con una Suzuki RM de la que estaba encantado, pero quise probar esta Honda. Pero esta moto, sencillamente, me horrorizo. Me pareció excesivamente rígida, dura, indomable, poco progresiva… Kawasaki ZZR1100. Con esta moto descubrí que ser buen periodista no conlleva que seas buena persona. Pero leí la prueba de esta moto escrita por un buen periodista… insisto, buen periodista… y al día siguiente llamé a Kawasaki para comprar una. Sin verla al natural y sin probarla. Kawasaki H2R. He alterado deliberadamente el orden alfabético que habría puesta esta moto delante de la ZZR. Y es que esta moto me brindo parecidas sensaciones cuando la probe: El modelo de 2022 daba ¡310 CV! Para un peso de poco más de 200 kg. Si en la ZZR el gas parecía el botón del hiperespacio en esta moto “era” realmente el botón del hiperespacio. Harley Davidson Sportster 1200. En el verano de 1990 estaba en la terraza de mi chalecito adosado hablando con un colega probador de motos y salió el tema de Harley Davidson… le confesé que jamás había probado una. Me dijo: “Estas de suerte, he traído una Sportster 1.200, ¿no damos una vuelta?” ¿Sabéis que me pareció? Por favor, no os enfadéis los “harlistas” pero me pareció lenta, pesada, torpe, que no corría nada, que vibraba como un demonio y que era incomodo con ganas. Pero al llegar la primera curva cerrada es cuando me asusté… ¡no frenaba nada! Sencillamente, no soy un hombre “Harley”. Yamaha GTS 1000. Más o menos un año después de su presentación oficial pude sentarme y probar una GTS 1000, moto que me seducía por su refinada y avanzada tecnología con su suspensión tipo RADD que no era una horquilla convencional sino un doble brazo. Pero la suspensión me decepciono. Me daba la sensación de “no sentir” lo que ocurría entre el neumático delantero y el asfalto y a poco viento que hubiese, no sé si por la suspensión, por la aerodinámica, por el reparto de pesos, o por todo junto, no daba sensación de seguridad. Honestamente pensé que mi vieja FJ1200 iba mucho mejor… Yamaha RD 350 YPVS. Esta moto la probé siendo ya casi una clásica y sabiendo lo que probaba. Aun así me sorprendió por algo muy sencillo: Creo que el motor de esta moto estaba muy por encima de las cualidades del bastidor. A lo mejor 60 CV no te parecen muchos, pero esta moto, con sus 145 kg aceleraba como un misil, pero ni el bastidor ni los frenos ofrecían la confianza que el motor exigía… al menos esta es mi opinión. Conclusión. A veces lo que te asusta, te gusta. Otras no. Hay motos de esta lista que me asustaron pero que me cautivaron. Y hay otras que no volvería a probar ni, aunque me las ofreciesen… cada uno tenemos nuestros fantasmas... ¿no os parece?

Marc Marquez's domination of MotoGP in 2025 continued as the sport travelled to Brno for Round 12 of the Championship. It was another double victory for Marquez with the Sprint and the Grand Prix win, but it wasn't straight-forward, especially on Saturday. Dre Harrison, Richard Asher and Oriol Puigdemont break down why Marquez had to intentionally drop the lead of the race due to warnings over tyre pressures, and how Dorna got their sums wrong when caluclating its own regulation. With Alex Marquez crashing in the GP, it pushes older brother Marc's Championship lead up to 120 points, and made way for Marco Bezzecchi to lead the fight for Aprilia, taking his second runner-up finish in the last three weekend. With Raul Fernandez finishing as top independent and Jorge Martin back and happy in 7th, is Aprilia back on a positive upswing? There's also a discussion on a potentially huge story - MotoGP's manufacteurs banding together against Dorna Sports as rights holders for the sport, to ask for a bigger slice of the overall revenue, and to own their own slots on the grid, rather than have them be at Dorna's discretion. Is a "Concorde Agreement" reachable between the parties, and is this more to do with Liberty's recent acquisition? Finally, the 2026 MotoGP calendar has dropped, with Brazil making its debut for 2026 in March, and promise of a return to Argentina's Buenos Aries in 2027. 

El líder destacado del campeonato del mundo de MotoGP, Marc Márquez, asestó un nuevo hachazo a sus rivales al completar su quinto pleno consecutivo imponiendo en las dos carreras del GP de la República Checa. Pese a que la ventaja de Marc Márquez al frente del Mundial ya era sideral antes de llegar a Brno, este pasado fin de semana por primera vez en toda la temporada, el corredor de Ducati admitió: "Queda mucho pero ya solo yo puedo perder el título", dando por hecho que la novena corona, séptima en MotoGP, ya no se le escapa. Uri Puigdemont, Germán Garcia Casanova y Alberto Gómez analizan en esta nueva entrega del Podcast de MotoGP 'Por Orejas' todo lo que sucedió en el GP de la República Checa celebrado el pasado fin de semana en Brno, en el que Márquez volvió a demostrar su dominio absoluto, logrando su quinto doblete consecutivo y consolidando una ventaja de 120 puntos sobre su hermano Álex en el campeonato A pesar de que la carrera aparentemente fue tranquila, Marc tuvo que gestionar de forma estratégica su ritmo, llegando el sábado en la sprint incluso a dejarse pasar sin perder el control de la situación. Su rendimiento fue impecable tanto el sábado como en carrera el domingo. Uno de los temas más discutidos fue la polémica generada por los problemas con las presiones de los neumáticos. El sábado se observaron anomalías en los niveles que afectaron el rendimiento de varios pilotos, aunque el domingo no se repitieron. Sin embargo, se cuestionó la falta de acción por parte de Michelin y la negativa de los fabricantes a introducir un nuevo neumático tras las pruebas realizadas en Aragón, lo que generó críticas sobre si se anteponen intereses propios a la seguridad y al espectáculo. El regreso de Jorge Martín también fue uno de los focos de interés del fin de semana. El piloto madrileño reapareció con Aprilia tras una larga baja por lesión, logrando una sólida séptima posición y entrando directamente en la Q2. Su rendimiento fue interpretado como una especie de pretemporada anticipada, con una adaptación rápida a la nueva moto. Elogio merece la estrategia de Aprilia, que está apostando fuerte por su futuro con Martín y Marco Bezzecchi, el italiano que está completando una temporada extraordinaria. Por otra parte, Joan Mir que consiguió su mejor clasificación del año con una quinta posición en parrilla con la Honda, volvió a sufrir un accidente cuando Alex Márquez le tiró en la segunda vuelta, admitiendo el de Gresini su responsabilidad. Un episodio de mala suerte que no debe esconder que el momento de Honda siendo preocupante al no poder estar al nivel de sus competidores. Otro tema interesantes es la renovación de Luca Marini por un año más con Honda, un movimiento que podría abrir espacio a nuevas incorporaciones para 2027, y que para entonces el equipo japonés tendrá las dos plazas libres en su equipo oficial. Finalmente, se mencionó el debate en torno a las especificaciones de las Ducati y la posibilidad de que algunos pilotos estén usando motores distintos a los homologados, lo que genera controversia en cuanto al reglamento. Además, se analizó el posible salto a MotoGP de jóvenes talentos como Diego Moreira, recordando la importancia de que lleguen al máximo nivel con madurez y preparación suficiente. http://es.motorsport.com  ORIOL PUIGDEMONT en X - @uri_puigdemont   GERMÁN GARCÍA CASANOVA en X - @germax33   ALBERTO GOMEZ en X - @AlbertoGomezB    

On the podcast this week, we discuss the perfect run of Marc Marquez as it continued in Brno, we also discuss Tyre Pressure rules in MotoGP after the shambles in the Sprint race. Jorge Martin and Aprilia are back on track together, plus KTM showing good form with Acosta and Bastianini taking podiums and the luckless season of Joan Mir continues...Crash has been the global leader in terms of MotoGP news and features over the last 20 years so to expand our coverage of the sport we all love, we are now doing a weekly podcast!An in-house production brought to you by the Crash MotoGP team: Presented by Jordan Moreland (MotoGP Social Media Manager) - Peter McLaren (MotoGP Journalist) - Lewis Duncan (MotoGP Journalist)Jordan - https://twitter.com/jordanmoreland_Pete - https://twitter.com/McLarenMotoGPLewis - https://x.com/lewis__duncanFollow our channels:Twitter (X) - Crash MotoGPInstagram - Crash MotoGPFacebook - Crash Net MotoGP#MotoGP Hosted on Acast.

Tre marche diverse sul podio, Ducati, Aprilia e KTM ma un solo vincitore seriale: Marc Marquez. Al quinto successo consecutivo, un record per Ducati, in una serie iniziata ad Aragon l'8 giugno scorso, anche a Brno l'otto volte iridato ha fatto il bello ed il cattivo tempo, in pista. Dopo il sorpasso su Marco Bezzecchi, all'8° giro, Marc non ha lasciato al principale avversario alcuna illusione di rimonta, abbassando i suoi tempi ogniqualvolta ne aveva bisogno dimostrando un controllo assoluto della gara. E dire che Bez non ha mai mollato, illudendosi di tenere sotto pressione un rivale che in realtà stava guidando con l'overdrive inserito. In assoluta e totale scioltezza.E' stata una gara veloce, nei tempi, ma lenta nello svolgimento perché non appena Pedro Acosta ha raggiunto la terza posizione superando un Bagnaia come sempre un po' in bambola nelle prime fasi della corsa, le posizioni sono rimaste congelate. Perlomeno fintantoché Pecco si è svegliato sul finale recuperando sulla KTM dello Squalo. Ma era ormai troppo tardi per salire sul podio.Otto vittorie su 12 Gran Premi disputati, 11 successi su 12 Sprint, per Marquez non ci sono più aggettivi: sta dominando, ed è troppo semplice dire che la Ducati ha costruito la GP25 addosso a lui. Può essere che Marc abbia indirizzato lo sviluppo in una direzione a lui favorevole? L'ipotesi non è da escludere, eppure durante i test invernali entrambi i piloti, lo spagnolo e l'italiano, facevano a gara a dire di essere d'accordo sull'evoluzione.Quel che è certo è che oggi senza di lui non si direbbe che la Ducati domina sulla concorrenza, ed è indubbio che l'Aprilia si sta avvicinando a grandi passi se riconosciamo che Marquez ha qualcosa in più, magari soltanto per esperienza e sicurezza, nei confronti di Bezzecchi.(continua a leggere)Parlano dell'ultimo GP prima della pausa estiva Carletto, Paolo, Andrea e Tiziano (dalla California)

L'histoire d'amour entre Jorge Martín et Aprilia reprend de plus belle, couronnée par une 7e place à l'arrivée du GP de République tchèque. Finisher de son premier Grand Prix de la saison, le champion du monde revient fort malgré la peur, les tensions et l'appréhension. Un retour digne des plus grands ? L'union Martin x Aprilia sera-t-elle, finalement, fructueuse ?

Marc ha vuelto a dominar en Chequia… ¡y lleva cinco dobletes seguidos! ¿Está su novena corona a punto? ¿De verdad ha terminado el “culebrón” de Jorge Martín con Aprilia? Hablamos de esto y más en el nuevo episodio de Diálogos Sobre Ruedas, hoy con Josep Armengol y Diego Lacave. Toda la información del mundo de la moto, pruebas y novedades, en www.moto1pro.com

Bless you Brno. Was the return to Czechia a memorable one for 2025 MotoGP? The song remained the same but the stage was significantly different. Adam, David and Neil dissect the highlights of what they saw and heard on the ground at Brno: Marquez brilliance, Aprilia's boom, KTM's resurgence. Also, our ‘Hire and Fire' and we also hear from Aprilia Racing CEO Massimo Rivola.

Remember the Cybermen, from Doctor Who? Scary races of machine-men and living computers who share all their experiences in a massive network. And that makes them really daunting, because any trick you might use in a fight against them only works once. Fool one once, and all of them learn and adapt. Your victories only help them slowly iterate towards perfection, all through data, data and more data. Why am I waffling on about sci-fi when we just had a spectacular race? Because the Cybermen are in MotoGP, too, but here they're called Ducati. Each bike gathers more and more data, sorted and organized by algorithmic machine learning brains forever searching for speed. So what happens when that advantage disappears? Well, it's not a great day to be on a Ducati if your name is not Marc Marquez. But what does that mean? For one, it's showing the capabilities of the riders in a whole new light. But it also shows that, under the right circumstances, the Ducati's may be less removed from the Aprilia- and KTM-machines than they care to admit. And Marc Marquez? Well, five years after a horrific injury he's still the winner. There's a story there, and we've got Mat and Peter to tell it. So strap in, because we're lifting off!Want more?

MotoGP is back at Brno, and Jorge Martin is back in MotoGP, and at long last, he can answer all those questions we have been wanting to ask him. Why did he want to leave Aprilia? What changed his mind to make him stay? Does he have any regrets about the whole thing? Neil and David sit down after a special press conference with the world champion and talk you through everything that happened.

El campeón del mundo de MotoGP vuelve a sentarse sobre la moto después de su brutal caída en el GP de Qatar

Previa del GP de la República Checa marcado por la reaparición de Jorge Martín que ha monopolizado el 'media day' Brno en una larga comparecencia de prensa de casi 20 minutos donde ha contestado todas las preguntas que quedaba en el aire tras su tira y afloja con Aprilia.

We come to you for Episode 110 from Germany!! Well MotoGP was in Germany, we're still hanging out in the famous Stable "B" but we are here to cover an extremely exciting and drama filled weekend of racing at the Sachsenring!! From the king regaining his title, to Turn 1 biting half the field, this weekend seemed to have it all!!! We entered the weekend with several riders out with injuries, and an anxious Marc Marquez waiting to see if he can once again conquer this iconic racing track! Throughout the sprint on Saturday, we found a very wet racetrack which evened the playing field leaving us with some "underdogs" finding their way towards the front of the grid. Bezzecchi seems to be finding the rhythm with his Aprilia more and more each weekend and was there to give Marc the fight for the entire sprint. for the rest of the details and our thoughts on them you'll have to enjoy the entire episode!!! https://fantasy.motogp.com/ Code: NF9ZDUE9

Tank Slappers is back to review a hectic German GP at the Sachsenring, which celebrated a record crowd of over 250,000 across the four days. Marc Marquez took his fourth consecutive double victory and seventh in 2025 so far, but he had to earn his 10th Sprint win of the season after an early mistake dropped him to fifth on the opening lap. Dre Harrison, Richard Asher and Oriol Puigdemont break down why Marquez is still "cruising" at this level, including his seven-second victory in Sunday's Grand Prix.  The German GP was also a race of extreme attrition. By the time the race started, the field was down to 18 starters, with Maverick Vinales and Franco Morbidelli out via injury, and Enea Bastianini suffering a bout of appendicitis. To make matters worse, only 10 riders finished the race, the lowest amount for a MotoGP race since Australia 2011. Why? Six crashes at Turn 1, one of the nastiest on the calendar. Dre explains what makes the hairpin at the Sachsenring one of the trickiest on the whole calendar.  There's also reaction to the news that the Jorge Martin contract dispute is seemingly over, with the World Champion set to stay at the team and announce said news at a press conference in Brno next week. Oriol explains how a protracted court battle and the Assen speech made by Carmelo Ezepelta left Martin virtually no choice but to concede in his fight against Aprilia. 

La doble victoria de Marc Márquez en su circuito talismán, el de Sachsenring, sirven de prólogo del interesante debate en torno a un GP de Alemania en el que la Ducati #93 ganó a medio gas. El líder del campeonato del mundo salió aún con mayor ventaja tras sumar su cuarto '37' consecutivo, con victoria el sábado en la Sprint y el domingo en la carrera larga en Alemania, igual que hizo en Aragón, Italia y los Países Bajos, dejando el campeonato prácticamente visto para sentencia, ya que ahora Marc Márquez, con 344 puntos, aventaja en 83 al segundo de la general, Alex Márquez, y en 147 al tercero y gran 'desaparecido' Pecco Bagnaia. Uri Puigdemont, Germán Garcia Casanova y Alberto Gómez debaten esta semana en el Podcast MotoGP 'Por Orejas', sobre todo lo ocurrido en Sachsenring, y también de la esperada reaparición, el próximo fin de semana en Brno, del actual campeón y piloto de Aprilia, Jorge Martín. El español no lo va a tener fácil ni mucho menos. Por un lado tendrá que adaptarse a una moto nueva, hacer pretemporada mientras corre y competir con un Marco Bezzecchi que está a un gran nivel y que en Sachsenring fue quien más difíciles puso las cosas a Marc, sobre todo el sábado. Durante el podcast, del dominio de Márquez la discusión resalta el impresionante desempeño del piloto, señalando su capacidad para gestionar las carreras con un margen significativo de seguridad. Su dominio es evidente con victorias y récords, sugiriendo que podría superar los récords de Valentino Rossi en el futuro. Punto importante fueron las condiciones de carrera y estrategia, con un Márquez mostrando moderación para evitar riesgos innecesarios. Se enfatiza su enfoque estratégico, gestionando su ritmo, tomando riesgos calculados solo cuando lo necesitó en la sprint del sábado. Uno de los aspectos más interesantes del podcast es el impacto del desempeño de Márquez en otros pilotos y equipos, particularmente Ducati y sus corredores. Se exploran las dinámicas psicológicas y competitivas dentro de los equipos, destacando la presión sobre otros pilotos para mantenerse al ritmo de Marc. Se proporcionan ideas sobre los aspectos técnicos del deporte, incluyendo el papel de los pilotos de prueba y la influencia de diferentes marcas de motocicletas en la competencia. La conversación también profundiza en las dinámicas internas de los equipos y los desafíos que enfrentan para adaptarse al dominio de Márquez. También se especula sobre el futuro de MotoGP, considerando el potencial de Márquez para seguir rompiendo récords y las implicaciones para otros pilotos y equipos. También se discute la necesidad de decisiones estratégicas por parte de otros fabricantes para seguir siendo competitivos. http://es.motorsport.com ORIOL PUIGDEMONT en X - @uri_puigdemont  GERMÁN GARCÍA CASANOVA en X - @germax33  ALBERTO GOMEZ en X - @AlbertoGomezB

Al Mugello gare combattute e sei giri di MotoGP da cineteca, ma esito scontato: Marc & Alex, quattro Ducati davanti a tutti e poi l'Aprilia con Bezzecchi in recupero. Bene anche Raul Fernandez, che batte le KTM di Acosta e Binder. Morbidelli esagera, butta giù Vinales ed è sesto. Tanti temi da analizzare con l'ing. Bernardelle e con Zam e Renè rientrati dalla Toscana, cominciando dalla partenza di Marc nella Sprint: cosa è successo e come ha reagito (da fenomeno). Le gomme, il caldo, i motori e le grandi velocità sul dritto: con Aprilia e KTM più rapide e persino una Yamaha davanti alle Ducati. Aerodinamica in curva e accelerazione sono le protagoniste. Battuta di arresto per le giapponesi (incidentato e stoico Quartararo). Sfortunati Lunetta e Pini in Moto3, con Foggia tornato sul podio e Maximo Quiles al primo successo. In Moto2 domina Gonzales e Vietti quinto.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dopogp-motogp-moto-it--4070022/support.

Pista fredda il venerdì con tante cadute e una gomma in comune: la media anteriore di Michelin. Migliori le condizioni la domenica, ma gare più lente dell'anno scorso: perché? La vittoria numero 94 di Marc (che raggiunge Ago in top class ) è stata davvero minacciata da Alex sabato e dal Bez la domenica? Insomma Marc poteva essere attaccato? E l'Aprilia: come nasce questo fine settimana meraviglioso (e vincerà il braccio di ferro con Martin)? E KTM ancora così avanti? Questa sera le risposte alle nostre (e alle vostre) curiosità con l'Ing Bernardelle, Zam, Renè e Nico. Bagnaia è insoddisfatto e protesta, sono solo scuse come hanno già deciso in tanti? Cosa succede alla Yamaha, che stabilisce la pole con Quartararo e poi affonda? Studieremo la dinamica della brutta caduta di Alex Marquez e di quella allarmante di Lunetta in Moto3.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dopogp-motogp-moto-it--4070022/support.

Nothing was capable of stopping Marc Marquez in Germany. Not even Marc Marquez. But while Marc was dominating, half the field was exploring the area's finest gravel traps. I recap a wild weekend of wrecks and surprises at Sachaenring!The Rundown- Qualifying: wet, wild, and with a pair of big wrecks- Sprint: Marc spots the field a few spots, and still shows them how it's done- Aprilia and Yamaha show that they can compete on a level playing field- The MotoGP Race: Marc is Marc. Everyone else wrecks- Nobody wanted to keep second place- The podium we've come to expect was also the unlikely one- Jack Miller, Fabio Quartararo up their game- The MotoGP Championship picture - the math is looking good.

On this episode, we discuss the main talking points from the German Grand Prix at the Sachsenring, as Marc Marquez takes another step towards MotoGP title glory in 2025. Can anyone stop the 8-time World Champion? The answer, probably only himself at this point.We also discuss Alex Marquez, Pecco Bagnaia and the high number of crashers at Turn 1 with Marco Bezzecchi and Fabio Di Giannantonio proving to be the big losers.Jorge Martin makes his return to action at Brno this week, but it seems that his future with Aprilia has already been decided....Crash has been the global leader in terms of MotoGP news and features over the last 20 years so to expand our coverage of the sport we all love, we are now doing a weekly podcast!An in-house production brought to you by the Crash MotoGP team: Presented by Jordan Moreland (MotoGP Social Media Manager) - Peter McLaren (MotoGP Journalist) - Lewis Duncan (MotoGP Journalist)Jordan - https://twitter.com/jordanmoreland_Pete - https://twitter.com/McLarenMotoGPLewis - https://x.com/lewis__duncanFollow our channels:Twitter (X) - Crash MotoGPInstagram - Crash MotoGPFacebook - Crash Net MotoGP#MotoGP Hosted on Acast.

Un lungo in partenza, dalla pole, lo relega in quinta posizione, ma è proprio questo errore che da vita alla gara di Marc Marquez che, con attenzione, rimonta fino ad arrivare in scia del leader, Marco Bezzecchi, ad un giro dalla fine. Poi il sorpasso.OK il Sachsenring è una delle sue piste, ma la vittoria del leader del mondiale, davanti alla veloce Aprilia di Bez, è stata una delle sue più belle gare.Da notare il terzo posto di Quartararo ed il quarto di Di Giannantonio. Limita i danni con un 8° posto l'infortunato Alex Marquez. Fuori dai punti un irriconoscibile Bagnaia.Di questo parlano Carletto, Paolo, Riccardo e Matteo, di una gara bagnata ma entusiasmante.Purtroppo ci sono da segnalare gli abbandoni per caduta di Vinales nelle prove e di Morbidelli in gara, il che riduce i partenti di oggi nel Gran Premi, viste le assenze di Bastianini e Chantra a soli 18 piloti.

From the iconic racing track in the Netherlands we see an epic weekend of racing with "surprises" all around!! Marc Marquez, who said himself he wasn't planning on doing well, despite qualifying on the 2nd row managed to once again prove why he deserves to remain in MotoGP!! MotoGP standings for the 2025 championship seem to be almost completely decided as a big wreck from Alex Marquez left him with a DNF and some surgeries to clear up his injuries! From 5th on the grid we saw the rising Aprilia star Marco Bezzecchi pull a 3rd place and 2nd place in the sprint and race, proving that the mighty Aprilia might in-fact still be a contender this season!! Follow that with a surprising top 5 finish from not one but two KTM's and we had quite the brand spread in the top finishing spots!! Sadly the tale was not to tell from our main Yamaha rider Fabio Quartararo, who could not follow up his hot qualifying lap with a healthy race finishing place!! All this coverage and more as always in your favorite motorcycle podcast!!! https://fantasy.motogp.com/ Code: NF9ZDUE9

Dre Harrison and Oriol Puigdemont return to host another edition of Tank Slappers, as Marc Marquez made history at the 100th Anniversary of racing at the Assen TT. With his 68th Premier Class victory, he tied the legendary Giacomo Agostini for second on the all-time wins list, with only Valentino Rossi ranking higher. But Marquez didn't have it easy - Aprilia's Marco Bezzecchi pushed him all the way to the flag, but was unable to get close enough to pass for the win. Dre and Oriol discuss how this plays perfectly into the Mugello talk from fans and some members of the media in regards to Alex Marquez's racecraft and the allegations that the Marquez brothers weren't racing each other hard enough, and why more criticism should be levelled at Pecco Bagnaia's garage... There's more on Alex Marquez during the show, after the Spaniard broke the metacarpal in his hand after crashing into Pedro Acosta in the Grand Prix, and with it, falling to 68 points behind brother Marc in the Championship standings.  Jorge Martin is back in the news after his agent continued to up the pressure on Aprilia, by claiming his client is still leaving at the end of the season, with Aprilia continuing to deny that the release clause exists in a feud where even Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezepelta's had to intervene. Is there any resoultion on the horizon?  And finally, with his first win in Moto2 confirmed, is Diego Moreira on the way to MotoGP? Oriol discusses the Brazilian's options with the sport keen to promote him with a home Grand Prix set for 2026. 

Marc Márquez volvió a completar un fin de semana perfecto, recogiendo los máximos puntos posibles, en una pista que no le era propicia y en la que ni siquiera fue el más rápido, pero sí quien mejor gestionó las carreras. Mientras las polémicas repiqueteaban de fondo en el paddock de Assen, Marc Márquez levitó por encima de todo y de todos, incluso de la historia de 'La Catedral', que cumplía 100 años de historia de carreras en la región y 76 desde que el campeonato del mundo piso por primera vez el circuito, para llevarse un nuevo pleno al 37, el segundo consecutivo, que le disparan al frente de la general dirección a su noveno título mundial, séptimo de la máxima categoría. Uri Puigdemont, Germán Garcia Casanova, Alberto Gómez y el gran Emilio Pérez de Rozas, se reúnen una vez más en torno al Podcast MotoGP 'Por Orejas', que en esta nueva entrega analiza y debate el plano deportivo y otras muchas circunstancias que se vivieron el Assen. Como en Mugello, donde hacía 11 años que no ganaba, Márquez se apoderó del control de las carreras, sin ser el más rápido y en un circuito que no es de los que le gustan. Pese a no salir en primera final de parrilla, algo extraño esta temporada, Marc sabía perfectamente dónde era más fuerte que el resto y en esos puntos consolido el paso de las vueltas sin que nadie pudiera acercarse lo suficiente como para inquietarle. El enorme control y la abismal superioridad que está demostrando Márquez contribuye a que el entorno del campeonato avive los pequeños incendios hasta convertirlos en auténticas polémicas. El sábado fue Alex Márquez, segundo de la general y el primero (destacado) de lo mortales, quien estuvo a rueda toda al Sprint de Marc, sin poder intentarlo ni una sola vez. Una dificultad que muchos interpretaron como una debilidad de Alex, acusándole de no querer atacar a su hermano. La teoría cogió vuelo y hasta Marc tuvo que salir el domingo a rebatirla, después de que Marco Bezzecchi, seguramente el piloto que más ganas le tiene a Marc de la parrilla, fuera 20 vueltas a rebufo del catalán, sin que pudiera ni siquiera mostrarle su neumático delantero una sola vez. "Hay que respetar a los pilotos de MotoGP, todos quieren ganar", cortó Márquez el debate. Lo que sigue abierto es el futuro del actual campeón del mundo, Jorge Martín, que tras unas semanas de tenso silencio, volvió a la palestra, primero con unas declaraciones de su representante, Albert Valera, asegurando que el piloto era libre para la temporada 2026, y en cadena, apariciones de Alberto Puig, de Honda, el CEO del Mundial, Carmelo Ezpeleta, y el jefe de Aprilia, Massimo Rivola. Pero como en los buenas novelas de intriga, el bombazo del podcast llega casi al final, cuando se debate sobre otro tema candente desvelado en Assen, el hecho de que la máxima leyenda de MotoGP, Valentino Rossi, haya dejado de seguir en redes sociales las cuentas oficiales del campeonato, una acción que viene a certificar lo que ya se veía venir hace tiempo: que Dorna ha perdido a su máximo referente para la causa. Pero cuidado, que Emilio nos desvela un secreto que os dejará con la boca abierta. http://es.motorsport.com ORIOL PUIGDEMONT en X - @uri_puigdemont  GERMÁN GARCÍA CASANOVA en X - @germax33  ALBERTO GOMEZ en X - @AlbertoGomezB

El anuncio de Yamaha del fichaje del bicampeón del mundo de SBK, Toprak Razgatlioglu para correr en MotoGP el próximo año con el equipo Pramac centra gran parte del debate de esta semana. El fabricante de Iwata confirmó este martes una de las noticias más esperadas y comentadas de las últimas semanas, el fichaje del piloto referencial del campeonato del mundo de las motos derivadas de serie. La llegada de un corredor con el impacto mediático que tiene el turco puede ser un acicate para la expansión de la base de aficionados a MotoGP, sobre todo en Turquía y la región. Uri Puigdemont, Germán Garcia Casanova, Alberto Gómez se unen a Emilio Pérez de Rozas, uno de los invitados habituales del Podcast MotoGP 'Por Orejas', de Motorsport Network, para analizar el movimiento realizado por Yamaha y qué impacto puede tener, ya no solo a nivel deportivo, lo que divida claramente a los tertulianos en el podcast, como, sobre todo, a nivel de llamada mediática, no en vano Razgatlioglu es, según los que le conocen y siguen el campeonato de las motos de serie, un piloto especial con un gran seguimiento a todos los niveles. La noticia del fichaje de Toprak coincidió el mismo día en el que Ducati anunció la renovación de Nicolò Bulega para su equipo de SBK de cara a 2026 y la promoción a piloto de pruebas de MotoGP, una maniobra que, pese a no haber sido anunciada aún, va en paralelo a la decisión de la casa de Bolonia de no ejecutar el segundo año de contrato que tenía apalabrado con Alvaro Bautista, que con 40 años podría dejar el campeonato, que perdería a sus dos últimos campeones de una tacada. Volviendo a la esfera puramente MotoGP, el repaso del fin de semana de Aragón, en el que Marc Márquez ofreció una exhibición de superioridad abrumadora, deja detalles muy interesantes, tanto por lo visto y sábado como por algunos datos e informaciones que se desvelan durante la charla. El podcast termina con un acalorado debate sobre el actual momento por el que atraviesa 'el caso' entre Aprilia y Jorge Martín, que sigue persiguiendo liberarse del segundo año de contrato con la casa italiana para, seguramente, buscar una salida a otro fabricante de la actual parrilla de MotoGP. http://es.motorsport.com ORIOL PUIGDEMONT en X - @uri_puigdemont  GERMÁN GARCÍA CASANOVA en X - @germax33  ALBERTO GOMEZ en X - @AlbertoGomezB

Round Eight of MotoGP brings us to Aragon Spain, home for two very famous racers on our grid, conveniently the same two that have been absolutely dominating the 2025 season so far. This weekend was no different as after a 10 year hiatus Marc Marquez once again produced an absolutely perfect weekend finishing 1st in every session and race possible throughout the weekend!! Behind him, we did see the same familiar blue colors of his brother Alex Marquez, but after that we actually saw a bit of a mix up on the grid for once! The Austrian manufacturer that has been lacking so far this year finally showed up with some speed and power to come home with at least one bike in the top 5 both days!! Further back on the grid, but not quite as far as we're used to we saw an Aprilia keeping it inside the top 10, then sadly even further back, at least on Saturday, we saw a lonely Pecco Bagnaia brining home no points Saturday but snagging a podium finish for Sunday!!! More than enough exciting racing was happening all over the track, both days of the weekend to include our riders of the week giving a very good show!! Make sure you vote for your winner of the week between the two that we chose Franco Morbidelli and Pedro Acosta!!! https://fantasy.motogp.com/ Code: NF9ZDUE9

It was a truly perfect weekend in Aragon for Championship leader, Marc Marquez. Dre Harrison sits down with Richard Asher and Uri Puigdemont to review a stunning weekend from the Spaniard, with a Grand Chelem victory, and the first rider to lead in every single session across the weekend since... Marc himself did it in Germany back in 2015. It was a close fight from behind as Alex Marquez limited the Championship damage with another pair of second place finishes, with Francesco Bagnaia making a big change in his brake discs that earned him a podium finish, and according to the man himself, some regained confidence after just four points in his previous five races. Is it the first sign of a turnaround by the former Champion. There's also some focus on today's news that two-time World Superbike Champion Toprak Razgatlıoğlu will be heading to MotoGP in 2026 with Prima Pramac Racing. The trio discuss why this is a fun but "risky" move by the Turkish rider and what challenges may lie ahead.  And finally a wrap-up of the rest of the weekend's action, including Pedro Acosta's dispondent feelings despite a fourth place finish, what could have been for Marco Bezzecchi's Aprilia after a horrible Qualifying session, and the unpredictable future of KTM with rumours Herve Poncheral at Tech3 might be prepared to sell his team.

Simon Patterson, Val Khorounzhiy and Matt Beer ponder the key to Bagnaia's turnaround and how significant it might actually be.Yamaha's tumble backwards, KTM's surge forwards and Aprilia's latest rider intrigue also feature, there's a mild argument between the Joan Mir Fan Club and Johann Zarco Fan Club arms of the podcast panel and Simon has a downbeat rant that comes from a place of genuine love for MotoGP.Want more MotoGP podcast content?

As Round 8 at Aragon gets set to commence, Jim and Rich look back at a highly eventful set of races 2 weeks ago at Silverstone in the UK. For once, Moto2 dished up the race of the day, but there was plenty of action and incident in the MotoGP and Moto 3 races too. The lads also discuss listener feedback, ongoing contractual disputes at Aprilia, a nasty injury for HRC's Luca Marini and the vexed question of why Silverstone draws in such a small trackside audience.

Adam, David and Neil dwell on the trip to MotorLand Aragon this weekend and the latest chapter of MotoGP while also trying to wrap their heads around the Aprilia and Jorge Martin mess, the ramifications for Honda and a morphing paddock landscape.

Jorge Martin has officially communicated to the world that he expects to be a free agent at the end of the 2025 MotoGP season thanks to a clause in his two-year deal with Aprilia.Though he has not officially committed to riding for someone else - and Aprilia, which had just won at Silverstone, has not corroborated his status for 2026 - it marks a massive moment for both rider and team, with Honda looming in the background as an interested party.Val Khorounzhiy is joined by an Isle of Man TT-based Simon Patterson to go through Martin's statement and discuss where the parties go from here.They also offer injury updates on Ai Ogura and Luca Marini, the latter hurt considerably in a Suzuka 8 Hours testing crash - in what is a crucial contract year for the Italian.Want more MotoGP podcast content?

Noticias del día. El Betis pierde la final de la Conference League. El Real Madrid cierra a Carreras y Alexander Arnold. Mercado de fichajes. Roland Garros. Jorge Martín rompe con Aprilia.

Dre Harrison is joined again by Richard Asher and Uri Puigdemont to review what was an incredibly dramatic Grand Prix of Great Britain at Silverstone. It was a shocking win for Marco Bezzecchi, Aprilia winning their first race of 2025, and it couldn't have come at a better time with the unstable future of World Champion Jorge Martin still looming over the horizon. But will that win and Aprilia CEO Massimo Rivera's plea for Martin to stay hold up? There's also a discussion on the heartbreaking rear ride-height device failure that almost certainly cost Yamaha's Fabio Quartararo his first victory in nearly three years. The trio react to the emotional outpouring from the French rider and the solace Yamaha can take from the performance. Also on the podcast, Ducati's surprise struggles in Britain, Pedro Acosta's possible ultimatum to the bosses at KTM, Johann Zarco scoring another podium for Honda, and what the British GP can do to attract more fans after another disappointing attendance of under 100,000 for the weekend. 

Dave Roper has been racing motorcycles for more than half a century. The New England native is probably best known for campaigning exotic vintage machinery under the Robert Iannucci-led Team Obsolete banner. He's fast, too. In fact, Roper won more than half of the races he entered on Iannucci's 1959 Matchless G50, including, famously, the 1984 Senior Historic TT at the Isle of Man.“We lived relatively close to Lime Rock Park in northwest Connecticut,” Roper tells “Driven to Ride” host Mark Long. “We used to go up there and watch the sports cars. That's what I thought I wanted to do.” Once he found motorcycling, however, Roper was immediately hooked. “Motorcycles are more accessible,” he explains. “They're cheaper, they're smaller, they're easier to work on.”Now in his 70s, Roper has been the subject of many editorial projects, including a documentary film, “Motorcycle Man.” “I don't feel like I'm all that special as a racer,” he says. “I've had some success. I've arranged my life so I can continue doing it; I'm not married, I don't have any children. I love the social aspect of it, traveling and seeing people who you share a very special thing with.” Connect with Us:Website: www.driventoridepodcast.comInstagram: www.Instagram.com/driventoridepodcastFacebook: www.facebook.com/driventorideEmail:hello@driventoridepodcast.com

A lightly windswept Adam, David and Neil welcome fellow journalist and MotoGP TV world feed commentator Matt Birt onto the first of our free Paddock Notes shows from Silverstone this weekend. Matt talks about his transition from the written word to the spoken, and then we dip into subjects like Jorge Martin and Aprilia, KTM and arguably the most unpredictable race on the calendar.

MotoGP contracts are more or less a suggestion, really. Jorge Martin makes headlines between rounds, while Silverstone sets up for what could be an unpredictble weekend of racing.

Adam, David and Neil connect in the aftermath of the French Grand Prix and with news swirling in MotoGP that the reigning world champion is set to jump out of his Aprilia contract prematurely. Is there any truth in the news? What have we heard? Do we think it's likely? Why has this happened and what is next?! We also sit down with Red Bull KTM Tech3 Team Principal Herve Poncharal to talk about Le Mans, Maverick Viñales' surge and more

Why did so many other riders who had the chance to match Zarco's strategy choose not to?Did the new rules prompted by Marquez's dash off the Austin grid work on their first appearance and was this actually a great race (Matt thinks so and Val sort of agrees) or a rubbish and processional non-spectacle? (Simon thinks so).Want more MotoGP podcast content? Sign up to our motorbike-only Riders tier on Patreon for our 2015 revisited series, ad-free listening and more.
