Podcast appearances and mentions of Luca Marini

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.

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?

¡Que respetuosos somos los motoristas! Y eso me gusta. ¿Por qué lo digo? Porque Internet está lleno de listas de los peores pilotos de la historia de la F1... y prácticamente virgen de listas de los peores pilotos de MotoGP. Como yo soy “bipolar”, me gustan las motos y los coches, voy a hacer dos listas sobre pilotos de la era MotoGP y hablaré de los mejores… y de los peores. ¡Este va a ser un vídeo polémico! Pero con una polémica sana. Porque hay opiniones para todos los gustos. Eso sí, os aseguro una cosa: Está hecho desde el máximo respecto a cualquier piloto capaz de subirse a una MotoGP y rodar mediamente rápido con ella. En mi caso, en este video creo que ha prevalecido más el aficionado que el periodista. Para este vídeo me he centrado en la máxima categoría, pero además en la era MotoGP, que arrancó en 2002. El motivo es sencillo: No voy a hablar de “oídas” de pilotos legendarios que vi rodar poco o nada, de montones de años de carreras, porque el Mundial de motos nació, como sabéis, en 1949. Así que he centrado el tiro. Comenzamos con los mejores. Los 5 mejores. Ya sé lo que me vais a decir los “listillos” de turno: Es muy fácil elegir los 5 mejores porque solo ha habido 9 campeones distintos, los ordenas por número de títulos y a correr. Eso es lo que haría un periodista vago, que no es mi caso. Porque la dificultad está en elegir solo cinco y hacerlo no solo por el número de títulos sino por los méritos… todos los Campeones del Mundo son Campeones del Mundo… vaya perogrullada… todos lo merecen… pero no todos los títulos valen lo mismo. Así que esta es mi clasificación del quinto al primero. Quinto: Dani Pedrosa. He elegido a Pedrosa que ha tenido la mala suerte de coincidir con dos pilotos entre los mejores de la historia, Márquez y Rossi, Rossi y Márquez… más que las lesiones, para mi esa ha sido la mala suerte de este pilotazo. Cuarto: Casey Stoner. Creo que podría estar disputando el podio de esta clasificación, porque el talento de Casey en infinito… Tercero: Jorge Lorenzo. No está aquí solamente por sus 3 títulos logrados en 2010, 2012 y 2015. Está aquí porque creo que es uno de los pilotos que más sabe adaptarse a las circunstancias, que mejor entiende la moto y que tiene una cabeza muy bien amueblada. Segundo: Valentino Rossi. Rossi tiene 6 títulos en MotoGP, con lo que iguala a Marc… en MotoGP, pero no en la categoría reina, porque se llevó el último mundial de la era 500. Ese llamémosle “récord” no se lo va a quitar nadie: Ser el último ganador en 500 y el primero en MotoGP. And the winner is… Marc Márquez. Esto lo esperabais muchos de vosotros. Sí, tiene los mismos títulos en MotoGP que Rossi, aunque Rossi le aventaja por su título de 500. Pero Márquez ha conseguido alguien que no ha conseguido nadie: Ganar el año de su debut… y nadie puede decir… “es que era un año fácil” Pues no, gano a Jorge Lorenzo por 4 puntos a Dani Pedrosa y a Valentino Rossi… ¡a la primera! Luego encadenó un título tras otro y muchos dijeron que tenía la mejor moto… luego se demostró que no era así… y esta historia no se ha terminado. Los 5 peores. Esta lista va a generar menos polémica, aunque sí intercambio de opiniones… hay más donde elegir. Y es que no es lo mismo decir peor que malo cuando es una comparación. Si dices que el piloto A es peor que el B, no quiere decir que el A sea malo… puede ser menos bueno… vamos ya con la lista: Quinto. James Toseland. Ha habido muchos pilotos más lentos que Toseland. Pero a veces no es lo bueno o lo malo que seas, sino las expectativas que despiertes. Y es que, si llegas con la etiqueta de “Campeón del Mundo” de Superbikes a MotoGP, lo menos que esperas es que al menos caiga algún podio… Tras dos temporadas en MotoGP sin pena ni gloria, se volvió a las Superbikes. Cuarto. Luca Marini. Más de lo mismo. Mientras sus compañeros de equipo lo dan todo, pagándolo con múltiples caídas, los “Wild Card” le superan regularmente y va detrás del último muchas veces, Luca ha conseguido terminar el Mundial 2024 en el puesto 22… de 22 pilotos. Este aparente milagro se debe básicamente a que solo ha conseguido ganar a los “Wild Card” que han participado en una o dos carreras.… Desde el máximo respeto: Ser hermano del mito Rossi no de derecho a ocupar un lugar que otros pilotos aprovecharían mucho mejor. Tercero. Neil Hogson. Mismo caso que James Toseland… de campeón del Mundo de Superbikes en 2003 a quedar 17º en el Mundial de MotoGP en 2004 con un octavo puesto como mejor resultado… dicen que Toprak vendrá a MotoGP en 2026… pues no sé si conoce el refrán de “cuando las barbas del vecino veas cortar… pon las tuyas a remojar”. Segundo. Lucas Pesek. Esto no se entiende: Le echan de su equipo de Moto2 en 2010 por falta de resultados y le ficha en 2013 el equipo italiano Came todaRacing Project para MotoGP como compañero de Danilo Petrucci. ¿Pensaban que con el doble de potencia lo iba a hacer mejor? Su mejor puesto fue el décimo sexto en Montmeló y consigue exactamente 0 puntos. And the winner is: Christophe Ponsson. Una cosa es ser lento… y otra acabar a una vuelta de ganador… una cosa es ser novato… y otra ser un peligro en la pista. No es culpa del pobre Christophe, francés de Lyon, sino de lo que pensaron que era una buena idea para sustituir a Tito Rabat, que se había lesionado, en el GP de San Marino de 2018. Os digo lo que dijo Márquez: “No es recomendable. ¿Peligroso? Sí, porque el pobre no tiene ninguna culpa". Rossi dijo: “Es un error tener un piloto que no tiene experiencia con esta moto. Pobrecito". Rodaba más lento que las Moto2. Pero algo bueno hubo: Por primera vez se pensó en una superlicencia para MotoGP a imagen y semejanza de la F1. Una buena idea. Conclusión. ¡Tenía más! Algunos se han librado de esta en la lista de los peores… pero bueno, solo quería escoger 5 de cada… espero vuestras opiniones en comentarios.

Honda and Yamaha used to monopolise the MotoGP title fights. Now they're mocked as having their own ‘Japanese Cup' at the back of the field, as even getting into Q2 feels like a victory given how far they've fallen. All of which must make it tough to be a rider at one of those brands. But when Simon Patterson sat down for exclusive one-on-one interviews with all six Honda and Yamaha riders for The Race MotoGP Podcast, their differing views on their situations shone through. We hear Fabio Quartararo's take on why he stayed at Yamaha even though he often seems to hate its bike, a brutally open Joan Mir on what he's desperate to happen at Honda and Johann Zarco and Luca Marini explaining what they've got out of being part of struggling Honda this year after stepping off frontrunning Ducatis. Plus Alex Rins' take on his fitness battle and Taka Nakagami's reflections on Honda's situation as his full-time racing career ends. Simon, Val Khorounzhiy and Matt Beer share their thoughts on what the sextet had to say, and what the future might hold for all of them. And if you want to hear all six interviews in full and uncut, they're going to be available exclusively to The Race Members' Club. Want more MotoGP podcast content?

Recently turned a dad, Luca Marini joins us for an insightful chat on the MotoGP™ Podcast as he opened on the progress of the Honda project, the challenge of the communicating between cultures, his self-growth as a Factory rider and the experience of seeing his baby daughter for the first time! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

When asked about his motivation during a race, Usain Bolt exlplained that he imagined all the other runners were giant spiders: 'And then I get super scared.' But it's not just runners that are privy to this trick: riders, too, have their own fantasies that get their mental engines going. For example, Mat would imagine he's a fox. Luca Marini, today, had a very different trick to keep him sane in last place. And we can only speculate what it was that went through Marc Márquez' head as he took control and showed everyone that the legendary Beast is still in a class of his own.Oh yes, this was a race to remember - and Mat and Peter have plenty on their list for today. So grab some cerveza, get comfy, and enjoy the show! Want more? Visit our website or support us on Patreon.

MotoGP returned home this past weekend with the 2024 Spanish Grand Prix from Jerez, and the fans were treated to an all-time classic between two of the very best riders in the world. Marc Marquez and Francesco Bagnaia had an intense battle for the win, taking advantage of a Jorge Martin crash from the lead in the middle period of the race, and Bagnaia ultimately triumphed with his third straight Jerez victory by just four tenths of a second. On this week's edition of Tank Slappers, Autosport's Lewis Duncan and Motorsport.com's Oriol Puigdemont discuss the intoxicating fight, as well as Martin's role in the action, and where all three of the riders title campaigns could he heading with Le Mans next up in a fortnights time.  Also discussed on the show this week, more struggles for Honda as Luca Marini was the last rider over the line, Johann Zarco getting kicked out of Race Direction after a crash with Aprilia's Aleix Espargaro, and whether Jerez can be a "blue ribbon" race for the sport, like Monaco could be for Formula 1, now both sports are under the Liberty Media umbrella.

Arranca un nuevo Mundial de MotoGP y volvemos con el Podcast de Motorsport Netwok. La ocasión merece un invitado especial: Luca Marini, el nuevo y flamante piloto del equipo oficial Honda, donde ha llegado para tomar el relevo de Marc Márquez.  Uri Puigdemont, Germán Garcia Casanova y Alberto Gómez repasan con el piloto italiano su primera toma de contacto con la RC213V en el test de Valencia, cómo fue recibido en el box de HRC y en qué debe mejorar la moto para volver al lugar que se le presupone por historia y músculo.  Hermano de Valentino Rossi y miembro destacado de la VR46 Riders Academy, Marini explica cómo tomó la decisión de dejar el equipo en el que ha estado durante toda su carrera mundialista, y a quién fue el primero al que llamó para recibir consejo. Consciente de que "fichar por Honda es como fichar por el Real Madrid o el Barcelona", Marini cree que, ahora mismo, es el "piloto que necesita HRC" para desarrollar su prototipo, y que con Joan Mir harán buenas migas, al ser dos chicos  "muy parecidos ". 22 años después de que Valentino saliera del box de Honda para irse a Yamaha, su hermano llega al garaje oficial de la casa de Tokio, donde, quién sabe si veremos volver a entrar al #46.

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.

Dopo la vittoria di Martin nella Sprint ed il 5° posto di Bagnaia il vantaggio dell'italiano si è ridotto a 14 punti. Parlano dell'errore di Pecco nella scelta delle gomme Carlo Pernat, Marco Caregnato e Paolo Scalera.Ovviamente come sempre c'è anche tempo per discutere degli ultimi colpi di mercato con l'anticipato annuncio di Luca Marini in Honda, l'attesa per la firma di Di Giannantonio con la VR46...ed il futuro di Bastianini. Per non parlare dei movimenti di Aprilia con Cryptopdata ed il nuovo investitore americano che proviene dalla Nascar.

Una grande gara Sprint del pilota della Pramac a cui ha fatto da contraltare una prestazione non soddisfacente di Pecco, superato anche da Di Giannantonio e Luca Marini.Ora la situazione si fa difficile se il pilota torinese non riuscirà ad arginare l'avversario del GP del Qatar.Ne parlano Carlo Pernat, Paolo Scalera e Marco Caregnato.

Today's on the #MotoGPpodcast, a rider that's been in the news recently! Luca Marini replied to some questions sent by the fans, he also reflects on how lucky he's to have become a MotoGP rider, everything he learned from his beloved brother Valentino Rossi, and of course his factory prospects and his dream to become a Factory rider and develop a winning-title bike! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to Episode 119 of the Everything Moto Racing podcast! We hope you enjoy it! In this episode, we discussed Enea Bastianini's Sepang win, Luca Marini and the Honda rumours, Rory Skinner getting unfairly sacked, Pedro Acosta being crowned the Moto2 World Champion, and more!

Oh boy. We'd be lying to you if we called this one a classic. It wasn't. Sepang brought out the worst of the current era of MotoGP. While we were delighted for Enea Bastianini to take his first win for the factory Ducati team, the distance between the Top 4 was exacerbated by a heavy amount of dirty air. The tyre pressure issue reared its ugly head again as well as five riders break the rule on the limits and Bagnaia loses his practical "joker" after Martin's "illegal" win in Thailand. Is there anything that can be done to fix the problem? And we also talk more about the incoming mess at Repsol Honda. Red Bull will be walking away from the team as a key sponsor at the end of the year, and Luca Marini has now become the favourite for the Marquez replacement seat in 2024. But with Valencia's test now just 13 days away, is it a good look for the most decorated team in the business to have no confirmed lineup and 50 crashes on the season? It's a headache inducing M101 and it starts now!

Lejos de recortar la distancia con el líder del Mundial, que era su objetivo, Jorge Martín salió ligeramente tocado del fin de semana de Malasia. El madrileño no pudo subir al podio, donde acabó su gran rival, Pecco Bagnaia, en la primera victoria del año para Enea Bastianini. Uri Puigdemont, Germán Garcia Casanova, Alberto Gómez y una invitada de súper lujo, Izaskun Ruíz, la enviada especial de DAZN a los grandes premios, analizan en una nueva edición del podcast MotoGP de MotorsportNetwork lo sucedido el pasado fin de semana en Sepang, donde el corredor del equipo oficial Ducati, Enea Bastianini, logró su primera victoria de la temporada, completando un fin de semana impecable, justo a tiempo para meterse de lleno en la lucha que su compañero de equipo, Pecco Bagnaia, mantiene con el español Jorge Martín. Bastianini parece haberse recuperado de las lesiones que le han perseguido este año, justo cuando empezaba a sonar con fuerza la posibilidad de que Ducati le bajara del equipo oficial para dar entrada a Martín, una música que ha dejado de sonar de golpe con la victoria del de Rimini. En clave de Mundial, el español acabó bastante 'tocado' el domingo, después de haber sido solo cuarto, justo por detrás, de un Bagnaia que llegó con 13 puntos de ventaja a Malasia y se va con 14 y un fin de semana menos para llegar al final. En esta situación, a Martín solo le queda apretar los dientes y arriesgar en las dos carreras que restan, la de Qatar y Valencia, para intentar recortar esa diferencia y discutirle la corona al italiano, algo en lo que Joger están solo, mientras Pecco cuenta con el aparato de Bolonia y, a última hora, con la ayuda de Enea. También repasamos en nuestro podcast la situación del mercado, que ha sufrido un vuelco inesperado. Finalmente, el piloto elegido para reemplazar a Marc Márquez en Honda sería el italiano Luca Marini, una elección tomada por los japoneses contra el criterio de los ejecutivos que están en los circuitos, lo que puede abrir una crisis de inestimables consecuencias en el box de HRC. De todo esto y mucho más debaten, durante casi una hora, nuestros especialistas.

MotoGP championship rivals Pecco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin went wheel to wheel again in the Malaysian Grand Prix, while also dodging other Ducatis, but the big theme of their weekend was tyre pressures and the potential for penalties over them.Are we at a point when the tyre pressure monitoring is going to decide the world title outcome while wrecking all the racing up to then and beyond?That's the worst-case scenario Simon Patterson, Valentin Khorounzhiy and Matt Beer consider on The Race MotoGP Podcast, as well as what can be done about it.How the title fight stands now, the spectacular resurgence of Enea Bastianini, a gung-ho Alex Marquez cameo and a sad MotoGP return for World Superbike steamroller Alvaro Bautista are also delved into.And as Honda's quest to find a 2024 Marc Marquez replacement takes yet another twist, we debate whether Luca Marini and Repsol Honda are right for each other, and what it means for everyone else who's been swept into this particular rider market saga.Follow The Race on Instagram, Twitter and FacebookCheck out our latest videos on YouTubeDownload our app on iOS or AndroidVroom is the better way to buy and sell used cars, so head over to Vroom.com NOW Hosted on Acast.

Tre Gran Premi alla conclusione del campionato sarebbero sufficienti per giustificare un aumento della pressione sui due protagonisti, Francesco Bagnaia e Jorge Martin, ma a Sepang l'aumento di pressione riguarda soprattutto le gomme Michelin anteriori. Con un warning all'attivo, infatti, il pilota della Pramac gareggia sul filo del rasoio, e per lui basterà un errore, una uscita sul verde, per vanificare il suo sogno iridato.E' giusto? non è giusto? I piloti si dividono, ma sostanzialmente sono d'accordo che il regolamento andrebbe rivisto, anche se sulla sicurezza - e Michelin ha spiegato che in alcuni casi si è arrivati molto vicini al problema più grave - non si scherza.Con Carlo Pernat però non si è parlato solo di questo: l'offerta di HRC a Luca Marini si fa sempre più concreta ed il pilota romano, naturalizzato romagnolo, ci sta pensando. Una sua eventuale decisione innescherebbe un domino incredibile, tanto che al manager genovese è già arrivata una offerta dalla VR46 per Arbolino, che però ha già firmato per restare in Moto2 con il team Marc VDS.Un bel casino, per non usare mezzi termini. Del resto Puig Stesso ha smentito Aldeguer (con convinzione), ha incassato il rifiuto di Pol Espargarò, negato, mentendo, l'iniziale interessamento a Iker Lecuona, che pure è qui a Sepang per l'ennesima sostituzione.Ormai ad Honda non resta che accettare Di Giannantonio o convincere Marini. L'unica ulteriore alternativa è attendere ancora ed utilizzare il collaudatore Stefan Bradl, pure lui a Sepang. Una situazione pazzesca. Ne abbiamo parlato a lungo, divertendoci, come al solito ed immaginando la Honda 500 ufficiale Nastro Azzurro mai regalata a Valentino Rossi già in viaggio per Tavullia!

Un altro errore del campione del mondo. Il setting imperfetto? La foga nel duello con Martin? Proviamo a capire con l'ing, lo Zam, Nico e René. Bezzecchi domina la trasferta: sfortunato nella sprint, ma autore della pole e imbattibile nel GP con la Ducati 2022 davanti alle ufficiali 2023. Significa qualcosa? E come la gomma media ha limitato Martin? Dietro alle Ducati, sul podio anche la Honda sabato e la Yamaha domenica. Quelle di Marc Marquez e di Quartararo sono belle gare inattese, maturate dopo tante tensioni dentro le squadre, e quindi da spiegare. Come è da approfondire il brutto GP dell'Aprilia: un campanello di allarme ricordando il finale della scorsa stagione... In Moto3 domina Masia, in Moto2 Acosta ma Arbolino si difende ancora. E tutti sono già in volo verso il Giappone o già laggiù perché a Motegi si torna in pista subito, già venerdì prossimo, senza Luca Marini e senza Alex Marquez.

Dalla Gran Bretagna riparte il mondiale e cambia il format: torna la FP1 del venerdì mattina e scatta la regola della pressione minima nelle due gare, sprint e Gran Premio. Questa sera con l'Ing e lo Zam analizziamo le novità e anticipiamo i temi più caldi di Silverstone 0:36 ecco Silverstone e le novità: torna la FP1 chiesta dai piloti 6:57 Seconda novità la pressione minima delle gomme 8:22: Ora cosa cambia?

A special occasion for MotoGP as Le Mans came down with a record weekend attendance of 278,000 to witness the 1,000th MotoGP race. And with it, we saw another dominant weekend from the VR46 Academy's own, Marco Bezzecchi, who survived the chaos around him as Championship Leader Francesco Bagnaia crashed into the Aprilia of Maverick Vinales, and teammate Luca Marini and Alex Marquez collided at the Dunlop Chicane. Through it all, he dominated and we ask... "Why Not Bez?" We also talk deeply on the return of Marc Marquez, and once again, the man is box office. He almost sent his new Kalex chassis to the moon in practise, but it survived, he qualified 2nd, finished 5th in the Sprint and then was challenging Jorge Martin for second until an unfortunate crash with just a lap and a half to go split the room on the man's approach. Has he got it right? Is Kalex giving the Honda camp hope? And we also talk some of our favourite MotoGP Memories as the sport celebrates 1,000 GP's. All that and more on Imola's F1 Cancellation, on a new Motorsport101!

Grip scarso, avvallamenti, curve veloci: la difficile pista texana ha messo in scena un GP sorprendente e la Ducati, che era la naturale favorita, ha perduto il confronto con la cenerentola Honda resuscitata da Alex Rins e dal team LCR. Da capire: giapponesi fuori dalla crisi (anche Yamaha sul podio) o casi particolari? Al nostro Ing tutte le risposte. Da studiare a fondo il secondo errore consecutivo domenicale di Bagnaia, che pure sabato aveva dominato qualifiche e Sprint Race. Zam saprà dirci tutto sul clima in Ducati, sulla miglior gara di Luca Marini, sulle difficoltà di Bezzecchi che resta leader della classifica, sulla aggressività di Martin. Da analizzare la deludente domenica di Aprilia e KTM: tra cadute e partenze sbagliate, le due moto sono migliori dei loro piloti? Con spazio anche all'ottima gara di Tony Arbolino: il più serio concorrente del fenomeno Pedro Acosta in Moto2 oggi è lui, secondo in gara, leader in classifica.

Fr. Ralph and co-host Bobby Weltner bring you the life and times of Notre Dame's oldest and most storied residence hall, St. Edward's.

Welcome to the Lovecars On The Grid Motorsport podcast! Tiff Needell and Paul Woodman bring us the highlights from a jam packed week of motorsport from around the World! We start by paying our respects to Irish Rally Legend, Craig Breen, who sadly lost his life this week. Our very own Tiff Needell was driving at the Goodwood members meeting in a Ford Cortina. The World Endurance Championship was at Portimao in Portugal, with a win for Toyota, with Ferrari in 2nd place and Porsche in 3rd place. IMSA Sport cars were in Long Beach, which saw the first win for Porsche with the 963. Indycar were also racing at Long Beach, making for a fantastic weekend in California. Pat O'Ward made for a very late overtake attempt, which caused some controversy, but the win went to Kyle Kirkwood after achieving pole position for the race. We had action at the Circuit of the Americas with MotoGP. Spanish rider, Alex Rins won on his Honda, with Luca Marini in 2nd place on his Ducati. NASCAR was at Martinsville at a half mile track, where we had another win for Kyle Larson. Coming up next weekend, we have World Superbikes in Holland. Superformula is in Japan, plus NASCAR at Talledega, plus Formula E and BTCC are back!

Well... this was a lot. MotoGP's season opener was always going to be an anticipated affair, but this weekend was all over the place and it was pure unbridled chaos. We had a dodgy Portimao circuit that had Pol Espargaro clatter an unairfenced wall at speed as the gravel refused to slow him down. The result, a horror crash with a lung contusion, a broken mandible and a broken back. That was intense enough, but then title contender Enea Bastianini gets collected by Luca Marini in the sport's first ever sprint race. A great showcase of the sport at its most aggressive... but at what cost? Oh and then Marc Marquez takes all the headlines with a hellacious clatter of Miggy and Martin, injuring all three of them in the process. It's become the headline story as Marquez got a Double Long Lap Penalty that he might not even have to serve... We break it all down in an 80 minute season opening special. MotoGP is back. And it's wild.

Antes de arrancar su tercera temporada en MotoGP, Luca Marini, el piloto del equipo Mooney VR46-Ducati, comparte en una interesante entrevista el podcast de MotorsportNetwork. Faltan menos de dos semanas para el inicio de la pretemporada oficial con la celebración del test de Sepang, los próximos días 10 al 12 de febrero, punto de partida para un curso totalmente singular para los pilotos de MotoGP, que por primera vez deberán afrontar un calendario de hasta 21 grandes premios con la introducción de las carreras al sprint de los sábados, la novedad más importante de los últimos tiempos, y un factor que está obligando a los pilotos a replantearse la forma de preparar la temporada. En esta nueva entrega del Podcast MotoGP 'Por Orejas' de MotorsportNetwork con Uri Puigdemont y Germán Garcia Casanova, a los que se une este año Alberto Gómez, contamos con un invitado de verdadera excepción, el corredor del equipo Mooney VR46, Luca Marini, 12º clasificado del campeonato del mundo 2022 con dos cuartos puestos como mejor resultado en su palmarés. Para el italiano, el gran objetivo de este año es lograr su primer podio en la clase reina y, por supuesto, intentar perseguir su primera victoria. "Este año el objetivo es lograr mi primer podio y estar regularmente luchando por las posiciones delanteras. Creo que en la primera carrera de la temporada, en Portimao, donde además se celebrará un test dos semanas antes, tendré una buena oportunidad de conseguir ese primer objetivo", asegura. Para Marini, este ha sido un "invierno muy bueno, he tenido mucho tiempo para descansar y hacer otras cosas, pero también para entrenar duro, con la misma intensidad de siempre, pero con una preparación específica pensando en la singularidad de la temporada que vamos a afrontar, sobre todo con la llegada de las carreras al sprint", una suerte en la que ve como claros favoritos a pilotos como "Jorge Martín y Aleix Espargaró, y en general todas las Ducati, unas motos que gracias al buen funcionamiento que consiguen con los neumáticos blandos son capaces de ser casi perfectas en clasificación". A diferencia del pasado año, en el que dispuso del último modelo de fábrica de Ducati, Marini tendrá este año maquinaria del curso pasado, un pequeño paso atrás del que espera poder sacar el lado positivo, interesantes son sus conclusiones al respecto. Como interesante es, también, su visión en cómo ha evolucionado la VR46 Riders Academy fundada por su hermano Valentino Rossi, hacia dónde progresa y cómo ayuda a los jóvenes pilotos italianos, como el propio Pecco Bagnaia que tras muchos años de sequía devolvió el titulo para ese país, un campeonato que le permite lucir, en 2023, el número 1 en su Ducati. "Me parece la mejor elección", dice Luca. "Yo hubiera hecho lo mismo, él se ha ganado llevarlo y hablar de mala suerte o supersticiones es una tontería", asegura Marini, que ve a Pecco perfectamente "capa de reeditar el título. Si el año pasado, con muchos errores y caídas, fue capaz de rehacerse y ganar, este año solo que mejore un poco en ese sentido puede volver a ser campeón perfectamente". Una lucha por el título de la que no descarta a Marc Márquez que "por condiciones partirá, sin duda, entre los favoritos aunque dependerá de la moto. En MotoGP, hoy en día, las diferencias son muy estrechas y los pilotos dependemos absolutamente del rendimiento de la moto", asegura.
