Podcast appearances and mentions of maverick vinales

Alex Marquez said to the media at the start of the season that he might win a MotoGP race, 'If his brother let him." And in his 93rd attempt, at his home Grand Prix, the younger Marquez brother finally has his first GP victory.  Dre Harrison is joined by Autosport MotoGP reporter Richard Asher, and Motorsport.com MotoGP writer Uri Puigdemont to review an incredibly dramatic Spanish GP weekend with 100,000 in attendance in Jerez.  If you didn't know any better, you may have thought Alex Marquez took a page out of his older brother's book to win across the weekend. Two crashes on Friday, then a lap record in practise, and then taking advantage of Marc crashing early on, making one pass for the lead, and then taking off. But is the Spaniard a genuine title contender now he's leading the standings again by just a single point. What about the factory Ducati camp? Pecco Bagnaia was very vocal about struggling to extract the full speed out of his GP25, esepcially with the Sprint tank in on Saturday's. And as for Marc Marquez, is he struggling to figure out where the limit is on his bike after another Sunday crash? Fabio Quartararo had an incredible weekend, with his first pole position for Yamaha in nearly three years, and second place in the GP, their first podium in a year and a half. Is there hope for the factory, and how is their V4 coming along? And with back-to-back strong races from Maverick Vinales, is Pedro Acosta under more pressure to leave KTM? All that and more on a busy episode of Tank Slappers!

Ducati's 100% win rate in the 2025 MotoGP world championship masks the fact it's not actually ever managed to race its full 2025 bike spec, its superstar new signing has crashed in confusing circumstances in two of the last three grands prix and its double champion is a tentative and puzzled shadow of his best form right now because he's not ever quite sure what to expect from his bike's handling.So what's Ducati been working on to solve Marc Marquez and Pecco Bagnaia's problems? A hungry and tired Simon Patterson in a very dark Spanish hotel room joins Matt Beer on The Race MotoGP Podcast to discuss everything that happened in Monday's test and what it means for the rest of the season.As well as Ducati's issues and Marquez and Bagnaia's contrasting handling of them, we also get into potentially significant development steps for Yamaha and Honda, and the realisation that Aprilia might have bigger problems than Jorge Martin's long-term absence.We also debate the big question of the Jerez race weekend: what's going on at KTM that's resulted in Maverick Vinales suddenly becoming its standout rider and Pedro Acosta suddenly looking overhyped?

Dre Harrison is back to host another episode of Tank Slappers after a newsworthy Grand Prix of Qatar, joined by Autosport and Motorsport.com writers Uri Puigdemont and Richard Asher.  Once again it was Marc Marquez who dominated from the front to take his third double victory of the season in the Sprint and the Grand Prix. The trio talk about Marquez's brilliance despite the early clash with his brother Alex, and the worry for teammate Francesco Bagnaia, who was expected to win on a track he's won at multiple times before. There's also the latest news on the condition of World Champion Jorge Martin, who suffered a horrendous crash after being struck by Fabio DiGiannantonio, and is set to miss three months of racing after having his lung collapse and breaking 11 of his ribs.  Maverick Vinales shocked everyone in the sport by giving Marquez a run for his money by finishing second on the road, only to drop to 14th after the race finished due to a breach of the tyre pressure regulations. Dre and Richard discuss whether the rule needs changing after Vinales spent multiple laps leading to bring his tyre pressures down.  There's also the polarising performances coming from the Japanese manufactures, as Honda's Johann Zarco continues to impress with a fourth-placed finish, while Fabio Quartararo falls down the order after claiming his first front-row start in nearly three years. 

Pecco Bagnaia ha pagato pesantemente l'errore in qualifica e le partenze dalla quarta fila. Ma anche qui - dove le aspettative erano alte - non è sembrato del tutto a posto e in grado di lottare con il compagno di squadra. Come giudicare la sorprendente prestazione di Maverick Vinales, poi penalizzato per la pressione delle gomme troppo bassa? E se Ducati domina, a che punto sono Honda, Yamaha, KTM e Aprilia? Bernardelle analizzerà questa sera, dati alla mano, la crescita delle prestazioni: secondo lui è legata soprattutto al miglioramento del setting e alla evoluzione dello stile di guida che la MotoGP richiede. Jorge Martin, che alla prima gara con l'Aprilia aveva già trovato un buon feeling, è ricoverato all'ospedale di Doha dove resterà qualche giorno in seguito alla caduta in gara e al successivo investimento: le otto fratture costali quanto tempo ancora lo terranno fermo? Spazio anche alle altre vicende della MotoGP, alla Moto2 vinta da Canet, alla Moto3 di Piqueras e infine alle vostre curiosità.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dopogp-motogp-moto-it--4070022/support.

Vízválasztó lett Katar, még ha nem is feltétlen úgy, ahogyan arra sokan számítottak még a hétvége előtt. Marc Marquez egy rendkívül meggyőző hétvégével feledtette mindenkivel az amerikai bukását, ezzel párhuzamosan Pecco Bagnaiának a sorsfordítás helyett inkább a kármentésről szólt a nagydíja. Alex "Mr Második" Marquez szériája egy botrányos versennyel ért véget, a hétvégének pedig két nagy vesztese volt: Maverick Vinales és a visszatérő világbajnoki címvédő, Jorge Martín.

Marc makes a statement, Alex runs into everyone, and the tire pressure rule strikes again. As advertised, Qatar was full of surprises, both good and bad. I recap the action in Lusail, talk about Jorge Martin's new injury, talk about the MotoGP Championship picture, and give my take on the QatarGP!The Rundown:- Qualifying: Marc throws down the gauntlet - Pecco stumbles- Sprint: Marc and Alex continue the status quo, Pecco still searching for speed- MotoGP Race: Qatar has surprises in store- Alex Marquez runs into...a lot of people- Marc adds strategy to his speed- Maverick Vinales has an amazing race...erased- The Tire Pressure Rule is written wrong. And needs to be fixed.- Pecco has a great night - but still needs better- Frankie Morbidelli continues to improve, Alex Marquez still fast despite the mistakes- A rookie impresses- Jorge Martin gets hurt again - will likely be out longer- The MotoGP Championship picture- My Take on the QatarGPWhat did you think of Doha?

Da pilota ha vinto un GP in 125, da team manager ha conquistato un titolo in Moto3 con Maverick Vinales e uno in Moto2 con Pecco Bagnaia. Oggi parliamo di Pablo Nieto: io sono lo Zam, e questo è #atuttogas il #podcast domenicale di Moto.it

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!

How its superstar young rider Pedro Acosta and KTM stalwart Brad Binder will react plus how major new signings Enea Bastianini and Maverick Vinales will feel as they arrive in the middle of it, and what it all means for the huge young talent programme KTM has in place are all discussed too.

Send us a Text Message.Here's an interesting question: what was the last time KTM won a race? And what was the last time they won while the track was dry?The answer is three whole years. Yes, with no race in Kazakhstan this week, Mat instead decided to dive into some interesting statistics. The numbers don't lie, and they point at something curious at KTM. So this week we're going to dive into why an incredibly competitive bike like the RC16 isn't bringing home the gold more often. It's a question that not only involves lots of engineering and data, but also a serious look at the different kinds of pilots riding these machines. And the answer might have some serious implications for the freshly-signed Enea Bastianini and Maverick Vinales...Want more? Visit our website or support us on Patreon.

So... safe to say a lot has changed in the last fortnight in the land oif two wheels. We catch up to last week's BIG news - Liberty Media has bought 86% of Dorna Sports, MotoGP's Commercial rights holder for $4.2 billion. Now, assuming the deal beats the European Competition commission, what does it mean for both sports? Does MotoGP need new ownership? What DOES it need to take itself to the next level. The boys ponder the thought. Also, on the US GP itself - Maverick VInales put together the most complete MotoGP weekend of his career to take pole, the sprint and the win to become the first man in the modern era of MotoGP to win on three different bikes. Is this a flash in the pan, or something more? What about the other protagonists? Marc Marquez led but had his front brake fail, Pedro Acosta is absolutely still him via another podium finish, and the Ducati continues to have rear-end chatter problems, ala Pecco Bagnaia looking a little bit sus early on again. Also big change at Yamaha, with Fabio Quartararo staying on a new two-year contract, but after 25 years managing the team, Lin Jarvis will be retiring at season's end... and it quickly turned into a rant at how BAD Honda are. All that and more on another Motorsport101!

Last weekend's Americas Grand Prix produced numerous talking points as the 2024 MotoGP season continues to thrill, with Maverick Vinales stealing the headlines for Aprilia. Thrown a career lifeline by Aprilia after his acrimonious split with Yamaha midway through 2021, Vinales had so far failed to deliver the kind of results expected of him. But in America, having taken a breakthrough sprint win in Portugal, Vinales put together a perfect weekend where he took pole, sprint victory and registered his first grand prix win since Qatar 2021. It made him history too, as he became (officially) the first rider in the modern MotoGP era to win races on three different brands of motorcycle. On this week's Tank Slappers podcast, Autosport's Lewis Duncan and Motorsport.com's Oriol Puigdemont discuss Vinales' resurgence and how Aprilia has been able to coax out the best version of the Spaniard. They also discuss Ducati's ongoing chatter woes, why Marc Marquez's Americas GP weekend wasn't as bad as his DNF suggested, and the continuing rise of rookie superstar Pedro Acosta. With Honda enduring a miserable weekend, our hosts give their honest opinion of the Japanese manufacturer and why it is so far from being competitive again.

The 2024 MotoGP Portuguese Grand Prix was won by Jorge Martin but the collision between Marc Marquez and Francesco Bagnaia stole all the headlines. Pramac Ducati rider Martin put in a mature display to clinch his first grand prix win of the season, seeing off Aprilia's Maverick Vinales prior to the Spaniard's gearbox problems, and Ducati's Enea Bastianini to move into the lead of the championship. But it was the collision between Gresini Ducati rider Marquez and the reigning double world champion Bagnaia that served up the biggest talking point of the second round of the 2024 season. The crash was dismissed by the stewards as a racing incident, but both riders differed on their opinion about the clash. Harshest of all was Marquez, who felt Bagnaia was at fault for the collision. This has served up Ducati's first big internal drama to manage. On the latest Tank Slappers podcast, Autosport's Lewis Duncan and Motorsport.com's Oriol Puigdemont discuss the incident and what it means for both the riders and Ducati going forward. They also assess Martin's impressive grand prix performance and evaluate where he is now as a rider after the 2023 season. Pedro Acosta continued to make waves in his MotoGP debut year as he scored a maiden podium in the grand prix in third, while Vinales' return to form is also a point of discussion on this week's show.
