Jim and Rich dive into the crazy, complicated and confusing Grand Prix from Le Mans. The Moto3 boys kicked off the action on damp but drying tack on Sunday morning. The race was calm by the normal Moto3 standards, but the last lap more than made up for the lack of action. Kelso was looking for his first ever Moto3 win and was leading Munoz and Rueda. In the second to last turn Munoz dive bombed Kelso which caused both to go off track. This allowed Rueda to pass both of them and take a surprise victory. The Moto2 riders were forced to watch the back of Gonzalez for the whole race as he dominated. MotoGP was where all the action and surprises were. Quartararo shocked with pole position or Marc Marquez.. In the Sprint Marc used a smooth and patient approach to take the win over his brother and rookie sensation Aldeguer. On Sunday the weather played havoc with everyone as new rules caused chaos. Picking the right tire was critical as some riders went from slicks to wets to slicks and back to wets. However the man who made all the right calls was Zarco. He became the first Frenchmen to win the French Grand Prix in 71 years.

British pride was on full display in Moto2 as Jake Dixon took a commanding win and moved into second in the championship chase. Lastly MotoGp and what can you say about Marc's incredible start to the season. The result may have been the same as last race when Marc battled his brother for the win, but how we got there this time is completely different.

In Moto3 David Alonso just keeps on wining and then shows his human side by donating his winnings to help the disaster relief efforts in Valencia. In Moto2 the walking wounded Veitti (cracked shoulder bone) runs off with the victory was poor old Jake Dixon looses a podium because his lap counter was wrong! Finally the discussion turn to MotoGP where Bagnaia crashed in the sprint and handed Martin a victory. The main event on Sunday was a titanic struggle between the two rivals but it only lasted 5 laps. Martin decided the risk was to great and hw rode home in second behind Bagnaia. Martin now only has to win the sprint on Saturday to clinch the championship.

Jim and Rich talk about the three great races from “The Island”. In the Moto3 class newly crowned world champion Alonso showed why he is the champ by out smarting everyone by using the hard rear tire option. He forced the competition to use up their soft tires trying to keep up with him. Alonso is on another level right now and he is playing chess while the others are playing checkers. In the Moto2 class it was a great race between Canet and Aldegeur. It was good hard racing with Aldeguer taking the victory. Senna Agius the hometown hero rode through the pack to be in court place and was chasing Lopez for the last spot on the podium. Lopez crashed out thus ensuring Agius's first podium finish! In MotoGP the usual suspects were in the fight for the sprint win, which went to Martin. Marquez who had a poor start road to a second place finish and Bastianini was the last man on the podium. The major story was the crash of Bezzecchi and Vinales on the entry to turn one. Both riders were ok after the crash which was specular but scary to watch at the same time. In the Sunday race Marquez looked like a drag bike with major tire smoke on the start. Believe it or not Marquez caused the problem by letting his tear off fall under the rear wheel of his own bike! Marquez was the fastest rider breaking the race lap record, while chasing down Martin for the victory. Martin now has a 20 point lead as the series moves to Thailand.

Jim and Rich discuss all the action from Motegi. The first World Championship had been handed out to David Alonso! The Moto3 champ won this title in style by winning in true Alonso style. He was as far back as ninth in this race but road through the pack late in the race to win by half a second. The Moto2 race provided all the drama this weekend as a rain shower just after the start caused a red flag. It was anybodies guess on wether to use rains or slicks, but championship leader Ogura with he courage of his convictions went on slicks. He quickly fell back to 14th but the as he put heat into his slicks they came good and he powered through the field to lead. In fact six riders started on slicks and all would finish in the top six! Ogura riding smart let Gonzales take the win. Ogura now leads Garcia by sixty points. MotGp was a mixed bag as Marc was denied pole because of track limits and this promoted Acosta to his first pole position in the top class. All eyes were on Acosta in both the sprint and the Sunday race as he was heavily favored to win both. Lady Luck is a cruel mistress and she took both wins away in the form of two front end low-sides. Bagnaia benefited the most as he won both races with championship rival Martin finishing fourth in the sprint and second in the Sunday race. Bagnaia took fourteen points out of Martin's lead and now sits just ten points behind. The guys (well Jim mostly) got all geeked out on are contrails fuel consumption and flywheels. Its heavy engineering geek speak that had Richard's eyes glazing over!

Jim and Rich are back to keep track of the MotoGP championship as the current triple header hits its mid-point at the Mandalika International Circuit in Indonesia. The guys run through listener feedback and news before jumping in to talk through the 4 races.

Jim and Rich review the first of the triple headers. First Jim talks about his busman holiday to the IMSA race in Indianapolis, then the guys go through all the news. After the new the guys break down the racing from San Marino! With heavy rain just before the weekend the track had all of the rubber washed off and this seemed to have massive effect on all the classes. In Moto3 it was normal shrive resumed as Alonso won a cracker of a race. The last few laps were quite a spectacle as Alonso, Piqueras, Vier and Holgado constantly changed positions. In Moto2 the guys discuss the surprise send place in Q2 by Joe Roberts. The real surprise was the race itself as Ogura made one of the most impressive starts this season, by powering around the outside of several riders to be third on the start. The race settled into a fight between Vietti, Canet and Arbolino. Arbolino looked like a sure bet to win his first race of the season but a gearbox problem caused him to run wide handing the lead to Canet. Can't was them pipped at the finish line by Vietti, by .029 seconds! This was the best Moto2 race of the season! MotoGp help up its end of the bargain by having a great late race battle between Martin and Bastianini. Where was Pecco? Well he struggled with his rear tire and fell off about halfway. Bastianini would win after aggressively move Martin out of the way. This championship is definitely going down to the last race of the season.

After we force ourselves to do Heated & Hyped where we're both heated about ESPN's use of AI (and AI in general), and hyped about the U20 World Cup, including the Baby Nats doing a madness.

Jim and Rich look back at the first of the MotoGP double headers at Misano. The Moto3 race dished up what might well prove to be the race of the season. Elsewhere, the racing was a bit more predictable but with a rain shower creating jeopardy and opportunity in the main MotoGP race an old hand came to the fore. Elsewhere in the show the chaps go through recent news and enjoy some listener feedback from Chris Boyce and Gary Shavit. There is also some news from WSBK at Magy Cours where Toprak Razgatlıoğlu and Adrián Huertas amongst others survived scares on track and where a peculiarity of the weather and the rules threw up an interesting question about the dreaded long lap penalty.

Rich returns from holiday to discuss all the action from Aragon! The race weekend was plagued by overnight thunder storms that dirtied the track and created crazy racing action. In Moto 3, Alonso busted out to a huge lead and looked a sure bet to win the race, but Rueda had different ideas as he chose a hard rear tire. Once that switched on, Rueda ran down Alonso to take his first class victory showing the brilliance and speed that won him the Jr. World Championship and the Red Bull Rookies Cup in the same year. Don't worry about Alonso because he increased his lead in the championship to 75 points. In Moto2, crashes were the main topic as Canet, Aldeuger, and Roberts all had wild high sides! Jake Dixon rode a masterful race to win another Grand Prix and close in on the championship leaders. It was truly a miserable weekend for Garcia as he called it a day after starting 29th and receiving a long lap penalty. He still leads the Championship over Ogura. In MotoGP, the question was, could anyone beat Marc Marquez? Fastest all weekend, Marc took pole position, converted that to a win in the Sprint race on Saturday and then dominated the Sunday race to win in 1,043 days! Bagnaia struggled with grip levels on each of his race starts, finishing off the podium in the sprint handing Martin the championship lead by 3 points. Sunday was another bad start for Bagnaia, but he made the best of it and was looking good for a podium finish until he and Alex Marquez crashed at turn 12. Now, Martin holds a 23 point lead as we head for the double in San Marino! if you're a regular listener, please sign up to support the show financially if you can and don't forget to connect with us via the social media channels.

Skyler Vickroy guest hosts with Jim and they cover the Austrian GP. They kick things off with the news and both guys fall back into their old routine ranting on about this or that. My goodness 8 bullet points in the news took 45 minutes to talk about. That was probably a good thing because the racing action was pretty poor this weekend. The Moto3 race was awesome as always but Moto2 and MotoGP were procesional. They guys still had some great talking points, covering things like track limits and why the attendance was lower by 26,000 people. The point races for the world championships have tightened up in MotoGP and Moto2. The lead in the Moto3 has expanded. Enjoy this throwback episode!

A long episode as Jim and Rich cover listener feedback and all the action from the German GP. It was a great weekend of racing that kicked of with Marc Marquez having a massive highside in practice. The Moto3 race was the best of the weekend as Alonso won another race this time leading for about half of the distance. Then we move on to Moto2 where Joe Roberts impressed by only losing 1 point to Garcia in the championship after breaking his collarbone last week. Aldeguer would win his second race of the season in semi-dominant fashion. Finally in the MotoGP race Martin lost his concentration crashed with two laps to go and lost the championship lead. Jim really deserved a long lap penalty for his tongue twisted word salad and the injection of a long lap penalty for Aldeguer in Moto2!

Moto2 built suspense through the entire race culminating in a fantastic last two laps. Sadly Joe Roberts podium streak and Championship lead ended. Rich them ponders why Aldeguer and others are struggling on the Pirellis. Lastly was the Motogp races and there was some incredible action in both races. Martin was awesome in taking both wins and Marc was second in both. Acosta looking decidedly pedestrian as he crashed out in the Sunday race, but Rich explains the real reason for the crash. The guys take the problem of which person to promote to the factory Ducati squad. This then causes al long foray into silly season.
