Oxley Bom MotoGP podcast

The sight of a Japanese bike at the front of the grid is starting to look more and more like a thing of the past. Honda and Yamaha are struggling, while Suzuki left the MotoGP entirely. What's  going on, and what's going to happen? Join us this week as Peter shares a unique insight into the politics of racing, and Mat discovers that it is, of course, the fault of car people.    With big...

Need to get out of a corner, fast? Well, there's a little gizmo for that - and it is changing the way riders are engaging with the track in fundamental ways.  This week, the boys give you the lowdown on that most mysterious piece of tech: the Ride Height Device. Banned by the Formula 1 but embraced by Ducati, this little miracle of engineering allows bikes to pull off corners that would have...

MotoGP comes to Peters backyard, so this time it's personal! Live from Assen, Mat and Peter discuss a race where the 'Ducati-difference' is becoming painfully obvious and close calls raise red flags - but try to have some sympathy for the stewards.

It's time for some teutonic thrills as MotoGP does Sachsenring! The riders give it their all, but is a killer attitude enough when confronted with Ducati's mean machines? Join Mat and Peter as they discuss Italian technology, close calls and a certain rider who DNF'd with his head in his helmet and his helmet in his hands. 

Mugello becomes the track of close calls this year, as both Marquez brothers take a tumble, Bagnaia takes home first place and Zarco shows some fantastic racing.  But how many close calls are too many, and why does this season seem to ask so much of the riders? That's the question bothering Mat and Peter - and with Mat at the track, there's no better moment to go searching for an answer....

 Welcome to Mugello, where the longest strait in MotoGP pushes bikes and riders to their absolute limit. Here, they compete for more than points: they fight for the honour of bringing home first place on perhaps the greatest track in the tournament.  It is the shining jewel in MotoGP’s crown, the place where legends are made.  But what makes this track so special and what can we expect next week?...

The superbikes are revving up for the Isle of Man TT and Peter has questions. Luckily, Mat has more than enough personal experience to answer them. What are the technical challenges of maintaining a bike in this race? How dangerous is it really? And why do some riders say it's the best experience in the world?  Join us as we dive deep into the the race where MotoGp started!

The aftermath of Le Mans has people talking about Bagnaia's comment that he wouldn't mind "a bigger gap between the factory and satellite bikes". But what does he mean, and what does it tell us about the current state of technology in MotoGP? Mat and Peter try to unpack the situation - but they only have thirty minutes before Peter's Ducati-alarm goes off. 

It's a wild weekend at the MotoGP in Le Mans, France, as Mat and Peter talk crashes, close calls and some good old fashioned chaos. Cheers!

Peter and Mat test out their audio equipment and discuss the race at Jerez.
