1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,280 Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the very first episode of the 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,480 Speaker 1: Moto GP edition of Pittalk here on Fox Sports. I'm 3 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,480 Speaker 1: Rinita Vmuelin and adjoining me, it's my co host, the 4 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: incredibly knowledgeable and always insightful Matt Clayton. Matt, it's great 5 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: to have you here. 6 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:17,960 Speaker 2: Ronida, it's lovely to be here. 7 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,319 Speaker 3: And I will say off the top, if you're going 8 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,960 Speaker 3: to keep introducing me like that every single week, we're 9 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 3: going to have a long and very successful relationship here. 10 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 2: It's a what a great start. 11 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: Perfect That's exactly what we want. But for those of 12 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 1: you tuning in for the first time, Pittook has been 13 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 1: the go to for Formula One fans and now we're 14 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: bringing that same passion and analysis to the world of 15 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: Moto GP. Matt, we have a lot to talk about 16 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: so far this season because for me as a fan 17 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: of the sport, it has just been so exciting from 18 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: round one and. 19 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 3: Katar it's been an unbelievable season and we're at this 20 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 3: strange midpoint of the season now where we're nine out 21 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 3: of twenty rounds in, which is not quite the halfway 22 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 3: stage if we're going to be mathematically correct here, but 23 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 3: we have had this break since the last race in 24 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 3: Germany before we kick things off in Great Britain again 25 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 3: in a couple of weeks time. But it feels like 26 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,919 Speaker 3: we've had three seasons worth of things happen in nine races, 27 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 3: and it's kind of hard to know where to start 28 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 3: because we've had these huge ebbs and flows in the championship. 29 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 3: But where we stand at the halfway stage is that 30 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 3: Pecovanay leads the championship, obviously on course to win his 31 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 3: third straight Mooto GP world title, but it's nowhere near 32 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 3: as straightforward as that. And you know, I'm sure we're 33 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 3: going to touch on in this episode. There's just been 34 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 3: so many things happening behind the scenes, let alone on 35 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 3: the track that have really shaped the story of this year. 36 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely. I think with Peko coming into the second half, 37 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: I'm going to call it the second half, because they 38 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: are on their summer. 39 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 2: Break, we'll call it the second half. 40 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: We'll call it the second half. Coming in, he's got 41 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: that ten point championship lead, and like you said, it's 42 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: not as straightforward as what it seems throughout this year 43 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: so far. Juge Martin, who is his biggest rival yet, 44 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: and was his rival last year right up until the 45 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: final round, has been chasing him. Or has had that 46 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: championship lead sorry, and is chasing his first ever world title, 47 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: and it seems like or Hee has maybe slipped into 48 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: not quite the mentality that he's needed to maintain that 49 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,839 Speaker 1: championship leader status with a few incidents that he's had 50 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: crashing out of the lead, which we will definitely discuss 51 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: as well. But Peco Bannaya is well on his way 52 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,959 Speaker 1: to taking that the title. He is obviously re signed, 53 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: He's staying with you, caddie for the next year. He 54 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 1: does have a new teammate coming in, which doesn't seem 55 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: to have flustered him in any way. He's keeping cool. 56 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: He is the professor as he is known. But heading 57 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: into the British Grand Prix and then the flyaway rounds, 58 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: this is where we're really going to start to see 59 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 1: who has not necessarily the skill, the talent, but the 60 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: endurance to ride it out, stay strong and be consistent 61 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:54,639 Speaker 1: for the rest of the year. 62 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 3: Well, I think you mentioned something really crucial there where 63 00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 3: you know he has a new teammate for next year, 64 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 3: and you know Mark Marquez, he's not going to win 65 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 3: this year's World Championship. He hasn't won a race yet, 66 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 3: and I used the word yet because I think he 67 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 3: is going to by the time this season's over. But 68 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 3: he effectively took a timpin bowling ball knocked all the 69 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 3: pins over at Migello when he basically said Pramak is 70 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 3: not an option for me. I described it in a 71 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 3: story for Fox Sports as it was like he took 72 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 3: motor GP snow globe and just shook it crazily. And 73 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 3: the flakes are still coming down from that because he 74 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 3: rejected Jakati's preference to go to Pramac for next year, 75 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 3: and there's been this crazy ripple effect that's happened since 76 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 3: in that because he was going to become Bagya's teammate 77 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 3: next year, Juge Martin pretty much rage quick Jacati and 78 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 3: went to a Prillier. We knew that that was going 79 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 3: to mean an AA Bastianini needed a new home. He's 80 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 3: gone to katm We know Jack Miller's out there. There's 81 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 3: been this all of these ripple effects from that one 82 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 3: sentence that Marquez said. But I think the two things 83 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 3: for me with Vanyai, He's got incredible momentum coming into 84 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 3: this mid season break. He was probably one of the 85 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 3: few riders that didn't want to break quite frankly, because 86 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 3: he had this awesome run a form going in those 87 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 3: last four rounds going. 88 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 2: Out of the Saxon Ring. 89 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 3: He probably needed a break because he was getting married 90 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 3: in the break, So you've got to make time for 91 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 3: things in life other than winning Motor GP racers. But 92 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 3: he's got this amazing momentum. And I think you mentioned 93 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 3: it before about Jugey Martin being his primary championship rival. 94 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 3: Again this year, it kind of feels a bit like 95 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 3: last year in that I'm not sure that Peko is 96 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 3: the quicker rider of the two. I think over one lap, 97 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 3: I think oll Hey Martin is the fastest guy motor GP. 98 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 3: But has he really learned from last year where I 99 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 3: felt that was a championship that Martin lost as much 100 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 3: as Peco won because Martine would frash from advantageous positions 101 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 3: or he'd be four seconds ahead and then run off. 102 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 3: Remember the race in Indonesia where he threw it down 103 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 3: the road that last round at the Saxon Ring, that 104 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 3: felt to me like a race that he had to win, 105 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 3: and he had it under control for probably eighty percent 106 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 3: of it and then chucked it down the road with 107 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 3: two laps to go, and not only did that flip 108 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 3: the order in the championship standings where Peko takes that 109 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 3: ten point lead into the breaker you mentioned, I think 110 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 3: it's a bit of a oh no, is he going 111 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 3: to do this again with Martin? And that kind of 112 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 3: feels like the narrative of the season. But getting back 113 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 3: to my initial point, because of the scattering of riders 114 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 3: for twenty twenty five, it's kind of shaped how twenty. 115 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:16,799 Speaker 2: Twenty four is going to finish. 116 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 3: I think because of the top six guys in the 117 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 3: World Championship, Banya as the only guy staying with the 118 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 3: same team next year, and I think that's going to 119 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 3: start to play a part the further the season goes, 120 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 3: because you know, as we know, Jorge Martin's moving to 121 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 3: a new team and his team is moving to a 122 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 3: new manufacturer. You add those two things together and I 123 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 3: just wonder how long he's going to be able to 124 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 3: sustain this championship fight. 125 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, when you just mentioned that, it's like a light 126 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: bulb went off in my head. I didn't even think 127 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: of the fact that they are all changing, right Pecko's 128 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 1: the only one I guess has that. Not security is 129 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: probably not the word, but that foundation there and I 130 00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 1: think johe Martin in his mind he can be world champion, 131 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: right and we can see that you said, he is 132 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: very very fast on the bike, is extremely talented. It's 133 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: just these little one percentage that I fear is going 134 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: to hinder him. But my other thought is Doucaddi aren't 135 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: going to want him to take that number one plate 136 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: with him over to a Prillier that they're going to 137 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: want that to say at Jucaddi one. 138 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 3: Hundred yeah, one hundred percent. I think that's going to 139 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 3: be a primary storyline for the rest of the year. 140 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 3: I don't think Doukatti are going to hinder Martine's championship chance. 141 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 3: I don't think they're going to put roadblocks in his way, 142 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 3: but the fact that he's leading to a Prillier, like 143 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 3: you said, there's absolutely no way they want that number 144 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 3: one plate going to a rival manufacturer, Littlone, a rival 145 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 3: Italian manufacturer. Let's throw that into the mix as well. 146 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 3: But there's the other part of this in that Pramak 147 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 3: is leaving Ducadi to go to Yamaha for next year. 148 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 3: It ends a twenty year relationship with between Pramak and Ducatti, 149 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 3: so you can't imagine that Dukadi are going to be 150 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 3: giving Pramak too many new bits for the rest of 151 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 3: the season. Anyways, Well you're off to Yamaha. We're not 152 00:06:58,200 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 3: telling you what we're doing for the rest of this year. 153 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 3: It let alone after that, So you had the fact 154 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 3: that Martin's off to one factory, Pramac's off to another factory. 155 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,479 Speaker 3: I think they're going to be two things that really 156 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 3: hurt Martine's bid. Now we know he's fast enough, that's 157 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 3: not in question. Can he be smart enough for the 158 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 3: rest of the season, because to my mind, Banyall is 159 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 3: one of those guys. He's a bit like a dog 160 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 3: with a bone, like he doesn't make He doesn't make 161 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 3: as many mistakes as used to. No one's infallible, but 162 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 3: he makes so few mistakes and once he gets to 163 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 3: the front of races. We've seen this a couple of times, 164 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 3: Like he did it at Magello, he did it at 165 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 3: Catalunya in the feature race. Once he got himself to 166 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 3: the front. The whole weekend at Asen, no one saw him. 167 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 3: He was just off on a different planet. He has 168 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 3: those weekends where you think, I don't think this guy's 169 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 3: going to beat himself, and when he's got a championship lead, 170 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 3: you add the factor in there of Martine leaving and 171 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 3: Pramac leaving. Other guys will win races, but I would 172 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 3: be hugely surprised if Banyai doesn't win the World Championship. 173 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 3: And Ronetta the thing. For me, this is kind of 174 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 3: snuck up on a few of us. There's only three 175 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 3: riders in the line thirty years that have won three 176 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 3: World Championships in a row, and it's kind of like 177 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 3: a who's who of Motor GP. It's Mick Dowan, It's 178 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 3: Valentino Rossi, and it's Mark Marqueerres. If Banyay converts from 179 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 3: where he is at the mid season break, he's the 180 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 3: fourth guy in thirty years. 181 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 2: To win a hat trick of titles. 182 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 3: Maybe we need to reassess how good this guy is 183 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 3: in sort of terms of Motor GP as a whole, 184 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 3: because it's kind of snuck up on a few of us. 185 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 3: It's like, well, this guy is starting to do something. 186 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 3: It's pretty historical and the names I mentioned, those three 187 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 3: are in everyone's top five for the greatest riders that 188 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 3: have ever done it. So maybe we need to reassess 189 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 3: what we think of Pecker. 190 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: And then think about next year when Mark Marquez is 191 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,959 Speaker 1: Pecker's teamate on the GPN twenty five. What is that 192 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: going to mean. 193 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 3: I cannot wait for this. It's like, what's to say. 194 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 3: It's like two foxes in the same headhouse. It's going 195 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 3: to be absolute chaos because Banyai has got the stability 196 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 3: in the continuity. He knows the TV, and he knows 197 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 3: the management, and he knows the bike, and he also 198 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 3: Marquez doesn't care, and he knows Marquez doesn't care because 199 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 3: Marcus is going to come in and just do what 200 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 3: Mark does and that he's going to just be completely ferocious. 201 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 3: He'd be the last guy you'd want as your teammate 202 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 3: when you've got this nice, sort of cushy situation where 203 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 3: everything's perfect for you, and then you've got Mark Marquere's 204 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 3: injury free. He's back in for me. He's like, all right, 205 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 3: or you guys have been taking my world titles that 206 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 3: I've addicated for the last five years while I've been injured. 207 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,199 Speaker 3: It's going to be absolutely awesome and on track it's 208 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 3: going to be great. We've seen a couple of little 209 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 3: flashpoints this year with these two already, but can you 210 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 3: imagine what's going to be going on off track, like 211 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 3: the decade management next year, there's going to be some 212 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,439 Speaker 3: serious investment in like parachute while going on, because there's 213 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,959 Speaker 3: going to be some proper headaches going on in that garage. 214 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: Oh, I am so excited for twenty twenty five, but 215 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: let's focus on twenty twenty four because there's still so 216 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: much to happen. Speaking of Marquez and his year, he 217 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: is on a year old bike. He's on the GP 218 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: twenty three, and for those who might not understand them, 219 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: the big differences in that we are seeing it because 220 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 1: Marquez seems to be the only writer on the GP 221 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: twenty three who is able to podium or be up 222 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 1: the front and fight, and so we know that's Mark right. 223 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: He is one of the greatest ever. But I'm interested 224 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,079 Speaker 1: to see going into the remainder of the season because 225 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 1: at the start of this year there was so much 226 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: high Marquez is known for favoring the any clockwise, the 227 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: left hand majority circuits. Right we went to Coder, he 228 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: wasn't amazing like we expected him to blow everyone out 229 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,199 Speaker 1: in the water because he was on a ju Cadti. 230 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 1: Same thing in Saxon Ring this year. It was it 231 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: was good, but it's not like this amazing Mark Marquez 232 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: like we've seen in the past. I'm wondering if this 233 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 1: summer break reset, knowing he's going to the Factory Ride 234 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: next year, a if Dukeati you are going to start 235 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: having him testing new parts, We're going to see his 236 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,319 Speaker 1: bit change a little bit more to match the Factory riders. 237 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: But what's it going to be like as Mark goes 238 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: into obviously the British Grand Prix, we've got the back 239 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: to back in Mazzano and the Amelia Romana, you know 240 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: the Saying one which is VR forty six home round 241 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 1: essentially it's where they test, right, there's going to be 242 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: big changes there. Then the flyway rounds where it comes 243 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: into stamina because they're changing time zones basically every weekend. 244 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: What do you think do you think we're going to 245 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: see Mark really step his game up in the second half? Yeah? 246 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 3: I think something you mentioned there was really key in that. 247 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 3: You know, is he going to be testing bits of 248 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 3: next year's biker will be getting more developmental parts. I 249 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 3: think he'll get a lot of the pieces that may 250 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 3: have gone to Martin. Quite frankly then that because he's 251 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 3: obviously riding a factory bike in a satellite team. So 252 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 3: the fact that Martin's leaving might inadvertently benefit Marquez in 253 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 3: the short term. But you mentioned Cocher and you mentioned 254 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 3: Saxon Ring. Cocher was super early in the season. I'm 255 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 3: not sure Mark was one hundred percent ready to win 256 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:46,959 Speaker 3: a race at that point. As good as he is 257 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 3: round there, we know how good he is on these 258 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 3: anti clockwise tracks. And then Saxon Ringy smashed himself up 259 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 3: on Friday and free practice with that terrifying crash at 260 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 3: the waterfall was one of those ones that you recoil 261 00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 3: back from the couch when you see it. He still 262 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 3: did through from getting out in Q one to finished second, 263 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 3: you know, even with you know, saw ribs and broken 264 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 3: hand and some other bits and pieces. So he's still 265 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 3: no slouch around the Saxon Ring. But I reckon there's 266 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 3: two races that are coming up the rest of the 267 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 3: year where we'll find out. These are the two races 268 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 3: I think he's most likely to with one of them's Arragon, 269 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 3: he's always incredibly good around there. Another track that goes 270 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 3: his preferred way, and the other one that we're probably 271 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 3: overlooking a little bit because he hasn't been himself for 272 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 3: a little while is phil Poland he's so good in Australia, 273 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 3: another circuit where you know, we've seen him do some 274 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 3: pretty remarkable things in the past. I mean, you look 275 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 3: back at that the race that he got on the 276 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 3: podium with a repso hond the the Alex Rins win 277 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 3: a couple of years back, considering how poor that bike 278 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,719 Speaker 3: was and considering I think he had one and a 279 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,199 Speaker 3: half working shoulders at the time, you know, it was 280 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 3: kind of remarkable that he was even able. 281 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 2: To get up there. 282 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 3: So to me, they're the two rounds. I think you 283 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 3: could look at Mark ticking the box of winning again. 284 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 3: But I think the question that's been answered already this 285 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 3: year is I mean, they had been some doubts, right, 286 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 3: it's been so long since he's been fully fit, and 287 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 3: then even when he was fit, he wasn't on a 288 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,319 Speaker 3: bike capable of winning anything. Now he knows, yes, it's 289 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 3: a GP twenty three. He's the only rider on that 290 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 3: twenty three with the exception of maybe Fabio Degan Antonio, 291 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 3: who's kind of been the underrated star of the year. 292 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 3: But you look at the other guys on that bike. 293 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 3: Marco Berzeki this year, we've just not seen him after 294 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 3: how good he was last year. Mark's got on that bike, 295 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 3: He's got no experience with it. He's still finding his 296 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 3: feet and he's up there on podiums. He's stirred in 297 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 3: the championship. You know he wants more than that because 298 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 3: he's Mark Marquez. But I think there are a couple 299 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 3: of rounds this season. I think you'll tick the wind 300 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 3: box this year and then yeah, like we were saying before, 301 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 3: bring on twenty twenty five because it's going to be fun. 302 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: You mentioned Philip Island there, and I feel like we 303 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: can't talk about Philip Island Australia. I made a GP 304 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: without talking about Jack Miller, and unfortunately there has just 305 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 1: not been the year that he has wanted to it 306 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: or we have really hoped for him. He has been 307 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: replaced at katm by the rookie Pedrocossa, which you can 308 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 1: understand with the year that Pedro has had and just 309 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,079 Speaker 1: how well he is just gelled on that gas Gas 310 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: KTM essential bike. But with Jack Miller, I just fear 311 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 1: that he puts so much into developing that KTM and 312 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: even Pitt Bira, the Motorsport managing director, has said that, 313 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: you know, we're so thankful for what he's done. We 314 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: can see massive improvements in the bike, but why is 315 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: the results that like from what I'm not trying to say, 316 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: Brad Binda's done well, Pedro Acosta's donewell. Jack Miller's bought 317 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: that technology over and nothing's come of it, and it's 318 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: just such a shame. 319 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 3: Even by Katim stand As, that was bizarre. They basically 320 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 3: said to Jack, oh, look, you've done a fantastic job 321 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 3: developing the bike, but we actually don't have a ride 322 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 3: for you in any of the four seats that we 323 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 3: have in our two teams. It's just the most KTM 324 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 3: thing ever to do. But the Acosta thing, Acosta is 325 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 3: one of these guys, you know, to my mind, because 326 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 3: I've been around this too long time, old a costas 327 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 3: these generations mark market is in that you could just see, 328 00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 3: you know, those young guys that come through like him. 329 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 3: Marquez had those signature moments through one, two, five and 330 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 3: Moto two A Costa was doing it in Moto three 331 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 3: from day one. He is an absolute force of nature. 332 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 3: I think he was always destined to be on that 333 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 3: bike for twenty five. I think it got the sided 334 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 3: super early and the very first race that guitar at 335 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 3: four o'clock in the morning or whatever time it was. 336 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 3: I remember Jack crashing on the start of the second 337 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 3: lap and a Costa's fighting with Marquez at his first 338 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 3: Motor GP race. I'm like, oh, okay, you know that 339 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 3: kind of you know, the dye was kind of cast there. 340 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 3: For Jack, I was a little bit surprised that he 341 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 3: didn't stick around with the gas Gas thing, which is 342 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 3: being rebranded. But again, that whole crazy rider market chaos. 343 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 3: All of a sudden, you've got an Abas GENII and 344 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 3: Maverick Vinales are available, and you can kind of understand 345 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 3: why KTM might go there. 346 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 2: Vinalees. 347 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 3: We know that Vinales has amazing days or days down 348 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 3: the bottom and kind of nothing in the middle. But 349 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 3: I guess they're hoping for more of the peaks and 350 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 3: less of the troughs. But for Jack, we know he's 351 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 3: got this great experience. Now ridden for Honda, Ridden for Jucati, 352 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 3: Ridden for KTM, A very good developmental rider. He's old 353 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 3: and wise these day, as much as Jack and hatey 354 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 3: saying that. I mean, he's twenty nine years old now, 355 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 3: he's been around ten years. We kind of overlooked that 356 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 3: because he missed Moto too. He's a very good developmental writer. 357 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 3: But it's the same old bugbears with Jack this year. 358 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 3: It's tire where he's got no tires in the last 359 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 3: part of the race. Qualifying has been unusually poor for 360 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 3: Jack this year, so I think he's finding he's fighting 361 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 3: his way through from the fourth fifth row a lot 362 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 3: of the time to try and get himself in contention. 363 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 2: We saw that at Cattaloon. 364 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 3: You know, he starts well, came through very early, and 365 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 3: then was on the floor three laps in. So it's 366 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 3: been really difficult for Jack. I mean, statistically, he's on 367 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 3: course for the worst season he's had to twenty sixteen, 368 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 3: which is pretty grim when you discuss. 369 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: It like that. 370 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 3: But I think Jack is young enough and hungry enough, 371 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 3: and now I think the benefit of that experience, both 372 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 3: for this rule set and then when we're looking at 373 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 3: twenty seven, twenty twenty seven, when all the rules change again, 374 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 3: Jack's probably an underrated asset in that regard because there's 375 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 3: not too many guys that have the experience with different 376 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,120 Speaker 3: iterations of bikes that he does. So look, there's still 377 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 3: a few seats available for twenty five. He is going 378 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 3: to end up on one of them. One pretty certain. 379 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 3: I could absolutely see him on an aprillier at Trackhouse. 380 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 3: I think he would be fantastic there, and that to 381 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 3: me seems the most likely destination. But twenty twenty four. Look, 382 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 3: the back end of twenty three wasn't fantastic for Jack, 383 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 3: but I don't think in his worst nightmares he would 384 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 3: have expected this season to have turned out like it has. 385 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 3: But I guess in his favor is Brad Bend has 386 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,479 Speaker 3: been okay this year. But I think Brad's been at 387 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 3: the level that he was last year. I think they're 388 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 3: all being made to look a little bit ridiculous by 389 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 3: a Costa, to be perfectly honest, because you've got this. 390 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 3: You know, he's a teenager when he started the season. 391 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 3: He's got no motor GP experience, and he's on podiums 392 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 3: and he's second and third races, Like, what is going 393 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 3: on with this kid? And he's he's flattened out a 394 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 3: little bit because he's come back to regrets, to the 395 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,160 Speaker 3: mean of the bike a little bit. But maybe the 396 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:56,479 Speaker 3: ceiling of KATM is pedro ceiling, not necessarily Brad's ceiling. 397 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 3: And I think everyone's maybe looking a little bit second 398 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 3: rate because of just how incredible this a Costa kid is. 399 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 1: He is incredible. Watching him in his style reminds me 400 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,199 Speaker 1: a lot of the old school riders. The way that 401 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: he's sliding a bike into the corner and he's handling 402 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 1: that machine. It is phenomenal to watch. 403 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 3: Jack was so funny after Portugal. He said, I sat 404 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 3: behind him for a couple of laps and I'm supposed 405 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 3: to be concentrating on my race, and I'm. 406 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 2: Looking at him, going, yeah, this kid's pretty good. Like 407 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 2: he looks better on a bike than I do. 408 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 3: Jack's taking notes, and you know, this new generation of riders, 409 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 3: there's nine years between them, but the way to ride 410 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 3: these bikes just it just morphs every single year. And 411 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,439 Speaker 3: Acossa's coming up with lean angles and sometimes you look 412 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 3: at him going, where. 413 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 2: Are you going? 414 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 3: You're not going to get the like turned into this 415 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,400 Speaker 3: corner and he gets it turned. He's so so exciting, 416 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 3: but he's also young enough to be totally fearless about everything, 417 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 3: which is what I kind of love about him, that 418 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,400 Speaker 3: he's almost like too young to know any better. And 419 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 3: the way that he rides and races. I think you'll 420 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 3: see a lot of guys coming in that will leave 421 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 3: me like the Acosta style in inverted commas for years 422 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 3: to come. 423 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely think watching the Moto TiO motor guys 424 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 1: coming through, you're a snack bang with that. But before 425 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,120 Speaker 1: we move on to I guess those categories, I want 426 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,879 Speaker 1: to talk about Franklin Morbidelli because the start of his 427 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 1: year was terrible. He had that big crash in the 428 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: off season, knocked himself out, couldn't even start his Ducati 429 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 1: run at Pramat coming from the Yamaha, and basically showed 430 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,120 Speaker 1: up to Qatar for the race never having ridden the bike. 431 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,719 Speaker 1: And now look at him in the last few races, 432 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: he's P five, P six, He's getting there, He's closer 433 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 1: to the podium. I never would have expected this from 434 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: Franklin Orberdelli. 435 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,439 Speaker 3: How he started his year well, and particularly after how 436 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 3: the last couple of years of god VM term in 437 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 3: the Yamaha thing by. 438 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 2: The end of it was a complete disaster. 439 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 3: He's been so injured, he's had so many serious lingering injuries, 440 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 3: and then, as you said, moving to a new manufacturer, 441 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 3: hurts himself in the preseason on a superbike in Porteramow 442 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 3: and he was massively underdone at the start of the season. 443 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 3: But you're right, like Germany, he was good Acid, he's 444 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 3: coming through. He's starting to actually be a factor now 445 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 3: at the front of races, and you know, we forget 446 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 3: the guy was the championship runner up at one point. 447 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,159 Speaker 3: It was that weird COVID season obviously where lots of 448 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 3: things were strange, but we thought, maybe this is this 449 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 3: guy's level, and it never really happened after that, after 450 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 3: he moved to the main factory Yamaha team. But I 451 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 3: think I don't think we've seen I don't think the 452 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,439 Speaker 3: best is so far in his past that we'll never 453 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 3: see it again. I don't know if he's going to 454 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 3: be super consistent with it, but you can see the 455 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 3: arrow starting to trend up for him, and we know 456 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 3: the bike's good, so he could be a guy that 457 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 3: could factor into potential podium fights for the rest of 458 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,239 Speaker 3: this year. And then what does that mean for next 459 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 3: year with him, because we know there's too fewer to 460 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 3: caddies on the grid for next year. You can absolutely 461 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 3: see him slotting in at VR forty six next year 462 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 3: because they're probably got woman we know, but Zeki's going 463 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,679 Speaker 3: there's probably a space there to be back in the 464 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 3: Rossie stable. But it's nice to see him back towards 465 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 3: the front because there is a point of difference with 466 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 3: him with the way he rides, and I think the 467 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 3: sports kind of missed him at the front the last 468 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 3: couple of years. 469 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: You mentioned that as two less do you caddies, and 470 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: I feel like so far we've pretty much covered you, Cadi, 471 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: Kadium and Aprillia right all the European manufacturers, and you 472 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 1: just don't have really anything to talk about with regards 473 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 1: to Yamaha and Honda anymore, because I guess it's the 474 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 1: European Championship at the front and it's the Japanese Championship at. 475 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 2: The back of the pack. 476 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: And it sucks. It's so sad to be like that 477 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 1: because you think about those years ago whereas Fabio and 478 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 1: Mark fighting and then the Dew caddies were further down, 479 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 1: and now it's a complete one eighty iz, I don't. 480 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,679 Speaker 1: Luca Marini came into this year with I think a 481 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: lot of confidence and my understanding of him as a 482 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 1: writer is he is so knowledgeable and he's really good 483 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 1: at developing the bike explaining. He can go into such depth. 484 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: But I know we're not going to see wonders this year. 485 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: But did Luca make the right decision going to Honda? 486 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 3: I think Luca probably made the right decision for probably 487 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 3: his bank balance and his career stability because he was 488 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 3: only ever really going to be on a series of 489 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 3: rolling one years with the care He's kind of the 490 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 3: right guy for Honda where they are because quite frankly, 491 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,120 Speaker 3: it can't get worse than where they are right now, 492 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 3: and he's the guy who can engineer a factory out 493 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 3: of its problems. It's going to be a super slow burn, though, 494 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 3: and I think, you know he's got next year. Whether 495 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 3: he's going to reap the benefits of the knowledge that 496 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 3: he brings to that project, you know, that remains to 497 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 3: be seen. 498 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:23,439 Speaker 2: But it is funny. 499 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 3: You've got this European Championship and the Japanese cut down 500 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:27,880 Speaker 3: the back, whereas you know, you go, like you were saying, 501 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 3: you go back a few years and it was flipped around. 502 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 3: But I think where Yamaha probably has the edge over Honda. 503 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 3: They're slightly better on track. But they've also got Fabio Quatrero, 504 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 3: and we know he's good enough because he's a world champion. 505 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 3: I think getting him to commit to that project was 506 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 3: a massive tick for Yamaha because I think it shows 507 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 3: that if you provide this guy with the machinery, he's 508 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 3: good enough to get them back towards the front. But 509 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,880 Speaker 3: for the two Japanese factories now like this year, next year, 510 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 3: maybe the year after, small gains at best, it's all 511 00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 3: about when we get to the eight to fifty era 512 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 3: for twenty twenty seven. They want to be ready for 513 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 3: that because I can't see under this current rule set 514 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 3: they're too far behind and the ground they have to 515 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,880 Speaker 3: make up in two years is too great. But it's 516 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 3: all that what happens after that. Fabio is still young 517 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 3: enough and good enough that he could be there to 518 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 3: reap the reward of that. But look Repsol Honda. I mean, 519 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 3: they've got this new paint scheme for this year. 520 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 2: I don't know about you. 521 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 3: I've barely seen it because they're never on TV because 522 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 3: they're always running around thirty seconds off the pace in 523 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 3: sixteenth play. So it's been absolutely bizarre to see how 524 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 3: anonymous they are. 525 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, and the only time you'll see them is when 526 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: it's you know, Yuan Meers crashed, or Luke and Marine 527 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 1: crashed unfortunately, or Takannako or or Joan Zako. You know, 528 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: it's just I do feel for them. But one of 529 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: the things I'm looking forward to coming up, and I 530 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 1: think that we need to take note of, is the 531 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: fact that Yamaha only had the two bikes on the 532 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: grid for so long. Honda have four because they have 533 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: the LCR team with the two runners they just mentioned. 534 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: But going into next year, they're going to have Pramac Yamaha, 535 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,919 Speaker 1: and I'm curious to see with how much much extra 536 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 1: development they're going to get. Obviously they got Cal Crutchlow, 537 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: who is an ex Grand Prix race winner. 538 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 2: You know, he's been. 539 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: Around for forever and I know that he puts a 540 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: lot into developing that bike. But having those extra two 541 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 1: bikes on the grid, the extra data that they're going 542 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: to get from every race, every test, I feel like 543 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 1: it's just going to help propel that Yamaha, and hopefully 544 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: with Fabio what he's putting in now he's got the 545 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: belief in Yamaha. He's also got the paycheck from Yamaha 546 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,360 Speaker 1: that they can just keep heading in that right direction 547 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: and hopefully come closer to the front of the pack. 548 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 3: Nothing like an eight figure paycheck to get you out 549 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,439 Speaker 3: of bed in the morning of it's I think you're right. 550 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 3: Look double the data and if theoretically, if you double 551 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 3: the data, you're going to have the time it takes 552 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 3: you to get out of the slump that they are in. 553 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 3: I think the choice of riders that Promac team are 554 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 3: going to be super interesting because I think they'll go 555 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 3: with an experienced head who's got some background with other 556 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 3: manufacturers to bring that to the table, and probably a 557 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 3: young motor II guy. You know, it's someone that's cheap 558 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 3: and they can bring up and bring them through. And 559 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 3: some reporting coming out of Italy this week is suggesting 560 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,360 Speaker 3: that that young guy could be Tony Abellino coming out 561 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 3: of Moto two, which is an interesting choice because he's 562 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 3: been very good in Moto two before, he's not been 563 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 3: so great in the last year or so, so he's 564 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 3: an interesting choice for that but someone like Miguel Olivero 565 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 3: seems like he's favored for that role, and to me, 566 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 3: he's at the right age and stage of his career 567 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 3: where he can really help Yamaha push forward. But doubling 568 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 3: their bikes can only be a benefit. 569 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:27,360 Speaker 2: Can't it. Oh? 570 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: Definitely, And that's all we want is to see more 571 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 1: on track action. I think that Moto GP as a whole, 572 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 1: we have great battles on track. The writers are doing 573 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: things that are just almost gravity defying. Thinking back to 574 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,719 Speaker 1: Juja Martin earlier the year dragging his whole shoulder for elbow. 575 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 3: Unreal how many times as you watch that slow mood 576 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 3: when it came, but I must have I reckon. 577 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 2: I sat there just watched it for ten minutes, just 578 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,959 Speaker 2: finding new stuff to look at. It was preposterous. 579 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: It is insane what these guys are doing on these bikes, 580 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: and to only going to get better as we head 581 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: into the second half of the year, going in into 582 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: the British Grand Prix though it also marks the seventy 583 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: fifth birthday of Moto GP and they're coming out with 584 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: a retro round, which I thought was so cool. It's 585 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: something we see a lot in motocross and the dirt banks. 586 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,199 Speaker 1: But I'm so excited to see all these liveries that 587 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: come out through Honda and Yamaha and Jacadi and Priliocadium, 588 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: all these guys who have been here for so long. 589 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: I'm interested to see what replicas we get as well. 590 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 1: If we just see some retro colors, awesome replicas from 591 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: like a Barrychine or someone of that era, you know, 592 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 1: it's awesome. 593 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 3: I love the fact they're getting into the spirit of 594 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 3: this in that you know, I wrote a story for 595 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 3: Fox sports dot com a you or what livery should 596 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 3: the five manufacturers used, and it got an incredible amount 597 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 3: of engagement because people think of, oh, you know, then 598 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,159 Speaker 3: the Kenny Roberts, Yamahas or you know, different bikes from 599 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 3: different eras where they want to see that again in 600 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 3: a modern setting. I'm hoping they go the whole way 601 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 3: with this, like forget a podium, Let's just have some 602 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 3: hay bales and the writers can stand on those and 603 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 3: get their trophies at the end of the race. And 604 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 3: you know, can we get some good sideburns like Renny 605 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 3: Gardner's raising at Silvice and he'll come up with some 606 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,400 Speaker 3: good facial hair for us, we need some like sixties 607 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 3: seventies facial hair, a few hay bales, get all the 608 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 3: Dorner stuff, you know. We need Matt Burton and like 609 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 3: a nineteen sixties commentator outfit with some binoculars. 610 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 2: Like we need to go the whole way here. 611 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: I would love that if all the teams dress up, 612 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: all the writers dress up. We see the long hair. 613 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 1: Oh Donna, if you're listening to this, you definitely have 614 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:22,479 Speaker 1: to do that. 615 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 3: There's a reason this is an audio podcast because I'm 616 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 3: working on my side burns now. 617 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 2: Now I'm onnly checking yes. 618 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: Well, I feel like we pretty much covered Moto GP. 619 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 1: We have to just touch base on our fellow Aussies 620 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 1: in Moto two and Moto three. We obviously got center Ags, 621 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: who is a rookie and our only odsie in Moto two. 622 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: Heading into that summer break, it looks like he's starting 623 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: to get the hang and understanding. Coming from the European 624 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 1: Championship to the World Championship. It's a big jump, and 625 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: now we're seeing closer to the front. We're seeing in 626 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: some more battles. I feel it's not going to be 627 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: long until then it does get that final podium place, 628 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,120 Speaker 1: you know, not at. 629 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:05,959 Speaker 3: All, and you look at he's done really well at 630 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 3: some tracks he's not been too which I think is 631 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 3: super key for a young guy in this series. You know, 632 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,679 Speaker 3: these guys have done so many laps in that series 633 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 3: of all of these tracks, and he's going to Magello 634 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 3: for the first time, like he's very inexperience with somewhere 635 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 3: like the Saxon Ring. I think he's really moving in 636 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,119 Speaker 3: the right direction. I think first probably four races or so, 637 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,679 Speaker 3: you know, finding his feet, but he looks super legit. 638 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,639 Speaker 3: The last four or five races, he's been right up 639 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 3: there making Q two, he's been on the second row. 640 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 3: I think the arrow is really pointing in the right 641 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 3: direction for him. And then obviously that the segway to 642 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 3: the two Assie kids in Moto three with Jacob Rolston 643 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 3: and Joel Kelso we know Joel's been around for a 644 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 3: while there. He's like a veteran in inverted commas of 645 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 3: the class and nothing surprises you with Joel on his 646 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 3: good days. I think Joel on these good days is 647 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 3: an absolute frontrunner. We've seen that, but I've been super 648 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 3: impressed with Jacob Rolston's maturity. I think that's the biggest 649 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 3: stand out for me. I know you spoke to him 650 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 3: recently for Fox Sports and this he doesn't come across. 651 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 2: As your stay and a teenager. 652 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 3: There's just a maturity and a belief in an inner 653 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 3: calm about him that I Reckon's going to serve him 654 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 3: really well. And he's in a high pressure environment. He's 655 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 3: riding for Herbet pont Cheral, He's got a teammate in 656 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 3: Danny Holgado that's right up the front of that championship. 657 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 2: He's looked really good. 658 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 3: From the start, and I think, you know, he's another 659 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 3: guy that if he's on the podium by the end 660 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 3: of the season, I would not be surprised in the 661 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 3: slightest because I think he's ticking every box at the. 662 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 1: Moment you hit the nail on the head that he 663 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: is so calm, and when I was talking with him, 664 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: you know, nothing's set in stone for him for next season, 665 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 1: and he didn't even seem worried about it. He goes, 666 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 1: I know, I'm there, I'm achieving things that we set 667 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: out to achieve. They weren't expecting me to go and 668 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,479 Speaker 1: fight for the championship, but I'm clearly proving that I'm 669 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: going to be Rookie of the Year and I'm heading 670 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: in the direction that we want, and it's so good 671 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: to see that. Yeah, he does have that confidence. We're 672 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: seeing him closer to the front each time. He's consistently 673 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 1: around that P eight, P nine, P ten, p twelve, constantly, 674 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 1: And that's all you can want for your first year, 675 00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 1: right is to just come out of it simply unscathed, 676 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: learn the lessons that you need to so he can 677 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: go into next year and hopefully be fighting for that title. 678 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: But yeah, I do think you're right. I think we 679 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 1: will see him on the podium this year. 680 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 3: Well, I know Ozzie has ever been Rookie of the 681 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 3: Year in Moto three or one, two, five, so that 682 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 3: would be super exciting that he's able to do that. 683 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 3: It's probably him and help acare us that he'll be 684 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 3: fighting for that, but he's absolutely in the hunt for it, 685 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 3: which would be brilliant for him and obviously. 686 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: For Australia definitely.
