This episode, Danny and Karl discuss round 3 of the British Superbikes from Knockhill. It wasn't the wet, washout we are used to but in the blazing sunshine, Ryde didn't have it all his own way.

Karl also tel...

Jim is on vacation, so this week Rich is joined on the pod by co-host Danny Smith to chat through all of the news and goings on from Round 9 at Brno in Czechia.

Karl and Danny were waylaid with the TT coverage last week so Aragon took a back seat, however, this week, we bring you a double header with both Aragon and Misano. One of the races of the season, with Bulega in trouble, albeit for a short time. Normal service resumed across the weekend with a complete domination and more records broken by Ducati's main man. Surprise surprise, Lecuona was in tow. ...

The Isle of Man TT has been and gone for another year! This year is one that will stick in our minds for years to come but unfortunately not for the right reasons. The spirits were damper than the weather after two fatalities and a number of injuries. Tributes paid to Dan Ingham and Alan Oversby sadly lost their lives doing what they love. We had serious injuries for Maria Costello, Shaun Parker,...

MotoGP Round 8 came from the Balaton Park circuit in Hungary, almost universally despised as a venue for world championship motorcycle racing.

Jim and Rich are joined by Karl Hun, who just returned from the races at Mugello, to talk about all the racing action.  Moto3 was as exciting as ever.  It kicked off with qualifying when many riders missed their final laps because they waited in the pits too long.  Quiles never could catch a tow and ended up starting from 15th.  He soon raced his way to the front but almost high sided in the last...

MotoGP Round 4 came from Spain’s iconic Circuito de Jerez - Ángel Nieto. Weather was a feature this year, with a crazy MotoGP Sprint where the heavens opened and one Marc Marquez rode his luck to snatch a somewhat surprise win. Sunday offered up dry conditions and masterclass races from Max Quiles and Senna Agius in Moto2 and Moto3 respectively. Sunday’s MotoGP race was a humdrum affair, with the...

Behind him, the bigger story was who could stay closest: Iker Lecuona emerged as the main challe...

MotoGP Round 2 came from Brazil’s Autódromo Internacional de Goiânia, hosting a round for the first time since 1989. An action packed weekend, with crazy weather, a massive crowd, some good racing and more than a fair share of chaos with sink holes and track break-up detracting from what was, overall, a great reintroduction for Brazil onto the MotoGP calendar. Its early days in the championships,...
