1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: To pit or not to pit?

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 2: That was the question, and just like Hamlet, it was

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 2: clear our riders were torn, maybe not quite between life

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 2: or death, but in this case between slicks or wet.

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 2: As the dark clouds loomed over the Adriatic coastline.

6
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 1: I'm your host, Ronita vmullen, and here to break.

7
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 2: Down the action with more suspense than writers on Slicks

8
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 2: in the rain is Matt Clayton, Matt Our, Crystal Ball.

9
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: It's definitely getting clearer.

10
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 2: But I don't think you I or it could have

11
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 2: predicted Mark Marquez winning in.

12
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 3: The Zano Ronetta. Of all the intros for this week,

13
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 3: I wasn't expecting Shakespeare, so I feel a little unprepared

14
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 3: for this. But I don't know about you. But on

15
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 3: Sunday night, I don't often yell at the TV because

16
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 3: the TV doesn't talk back. It's usually a pretty pointless exercise.

17
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,599
Speaker 3: But when I saw Joge Martin going to the pits

18
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 3: when it was raining but not quite I threw my

19
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 3: hands in the air and yelled at the TV, what

20
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 3: are you doing? That was the extent of my analysis

21
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 3: because I thought, if you're in a position like him,

22
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 3: where you're leading the world championship. The last person that

23
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 3: needs to be throwing the hail Mary is you, and

24
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 3: you've done it. And we'll probably get onto this later

25
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 3: in this podcast, but yes, he's still the world championship leader.

26
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 3: I have real trust issues at this point because I

27
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 3: just don't think you can do things like that'd expect

28
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 3: to win a world championship. But what an absolutely bizarre

29
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 3: race on Sunday and the set of circumstances which we'll

30
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 3: get into. But yes to Pitter or not to Peter,

31
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 3: And I think the answer was not not to.

32
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 2: Mark Marquez said that in his post raise debrief that

33
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 2: if it had rained more than a joe, my team

34
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 2: would have been the winner, because he did it early enough.

35
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: We would have been smart.

36
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 2: But the cards played in Mark's hands and he decided

37
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: to follow the locals, as he called it, and when

38
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 2: they didn't fit, he was like, no, I'm just going

39
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 2: to stay out. I'm just going to follow these guys.

40
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: But I don't know if you heard in the post

41
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: raise analysis, Matt. I think it was Bazeki or Bashanini.

42
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 2: I'm not sure which one, but one of them said

43
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: you can smell the rain here, And when I was

44
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: on the grid, I couldn't smell the rain. Look, that's

45
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 2: a true local, isn't it.

46
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean that was an ail that said

47
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 3: that after the race, because he literally lives five minutes

48
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 3: down the road from the circuit. He was born in Rymony,

49
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 3: which is, you know, fifteen minutes if you obey all

50
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 3: the traffic lights. But yeah, I just thought Mark was

51
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 3: funny in that he said it with a bit of

52
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 3: a smile on his face, like it was a bit

53
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 3: of a piss take. But by the same token, you know,

54
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 3: these guys, the VR forty six guys do laps and

55
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 3: laps and laps around this place. You think they would know.

56
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 3: And Mark's like, well, I don't have the local knowledge.

57
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 3: These guys do, but they have the local knowledge. I'm

58
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 3: going to follow that. How much of that was actually

59
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 3: legitimate by Mark and he was just going to stay

60
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 3: out there anyway, or how much of him was just

61
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 3: playing a bit of a psychological game with Martine because

62
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 3: he made a mistake. But yeah, I mean, look, do

63
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 3: what the do? What the locals do? It's an easy mantra,

64
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 3: But yeah, not everyone could follow it.

65
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: Well, you just mentioned there Mark having to stay out.

66
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 2: I don't know if you know this, But I was

67
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 2: listening to who is at Matt Oxley and Peter Baum,

68
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: and they said, because Mark's bike broke down in morning

69
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 2: warm up, they didn't have it fixed anyway, so he

70
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 2: actually didn't have a second bike to do a rider

71
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 2: swap a bike swap with. So it's just lucky that

72
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: the cards played in his favor for that, because imagine

73
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 2: if it didn't rain, then Mark probably wouldn't have finished

74
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 2: the race.

75
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 3: Well, no, he would have come in and done the

76
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 3: world's longest pit stop as they would have transferred wet

77
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 3: ties onto a dry bike, which would have been an

78
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 3: absolute disaster. But it's something that Mark tends to do

79
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 3: in the Sunday morning warm up, when there's any sort

80
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 3: of percentage chance of rain, he'll go out on his

81
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 3: second bike and scrub in a set of wets. And

82
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 3: we saw that on Sunday. He got halfway around the

83
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 3: first lap on wasn't the bike he was going to race,

84
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 3: and then the bike broke down, so that bike was

85
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 3: basically unusable for race day. So he was fortunate in

86
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 3: that it didn't need a full bike swap. But then

87
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 3: when you look at the guys that are most likely

88
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 3: to stay out there in sketchy conditions and try and

89
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 3: make the best of it. There's two guys that always

90
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 3: come to mind for me. It's Mark and it's Jack Miller,

91
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 3: because they're the guys that always come forward and it's

92
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 3: not quite raining and not quite dry. So I think

93
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 3: Mark was probably he had his mind made up anyway,

94
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 3: and I guess the hope was if it rained so much,

95
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 3: they might have had to have red flagged it and

96
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 3: restarted it. That was his only hope. But yeah, the

97
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 3: cards certainly played in his favor. But we talked about

98
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 3: this with Aragon a little bit. There's no one better

99
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 3: in Motor GP when the conditions are super sketchy where

100
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 3: you don't know what you're going to get corner by corner.

101
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 3: How fast did Mark get to the front once that

102
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 3: rain kicked in. I think he was sixth at the

103
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 3: start of that lap, and then he was in the

104
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 3: lead by the second last quarter. So he is just

105
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 3: the absolute master of changeable conditions. And we've had a

106
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 3: couple of bizarre races now where yeah we've had some

107
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 3: slick track surfaces and what have you. But look, he's

108
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 3: only fifty three points off the championship lead now, and

109
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 3: I'm willing to entertain the discussion that he's actually a

110
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 3: championship contender at this point because there's so many points

111
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 3: left to go, of course, because we've got seven rounds

112
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 3: and seven sprints we didn't have until last year, so

113
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 3: there's enough points for him to do it. He's got

114
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 3: a little bit of momentum, he's got the monkey off

115
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 3: his back with this one and forty three days between

116
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 3: victories before Aragon. I think he's absolutely in the championship

117
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 3: mix because I don't know about you. I reckon he's

118
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 3: less likely to beat himself than the other two and

119
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 3: so there's a stability with him that it's not going

120
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 3: to require much from Martin or Vagnar, and we've see

121
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 3: that Martin's pretty capable of shooting himself in the footwath

122
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 3: situations like Sunday. I reckon, Mark's absolutely in this because

123
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 3: there is time, He's got the belief he knows he

124
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 3: could win races. Now. I don't think this is a

125
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 3: two way championship fight. I think it's a three and

126
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 3: maybe Bastianini is still in it. He's a little bit

127
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 3: further back than Mark, but he looked what Marcus done

128
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 3: the last two weekends. I think you absolutely have to

129
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 3: consider him a title contender.

130
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 2: I think you're smack bang on the money there, because

131
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 2: Jorge coming into this weekend, you know that he crashed

132
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 2: out of Saxon Ring, and then from there on he

133
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: finished second and the s second and the main Grand Prix,

134
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 2: three Grand PRIs in a.

135
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 3: Row, yep.

136
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 2: And then he's saying, you know, I'm more mature, I'm

137
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 2: understanding more. And even like we were saying that, you know,

138
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 2: we can see this new hall. Hey, we think he's

139
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 2: going to be a bit more calmer, goes and does

140
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 2: something silly like this. I see he really rolled the dice.

141
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 2: He took the gamble on that one, and obviously it

142
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 2: just didn't pay off and it was a fifty to

143
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 2: fifty chance right. Well.

144
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 3: The other the other one for me, I'm just going

145
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 3: to sorry, I'm going to jump in here. The other

146
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 3: one for me is I kept thinking about Philip Island

147
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 3: last year, which is it's a weird parallel to draw

148
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 3: between Massano last Sunday and Philip Island last year. Remember

149
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 3: the Island last year he was the one that went

150
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 3: mega aggressive on the tire strategy and he looked like

151
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 3: a genius until there were eight corners from the end

152
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 3: and he went from first to fifth on the final

153
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 3: lap at Philip Island, And it didn't effect his championship

154
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 3: in the end because he found other ways to lose

155
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 3: it before we got to Valencia. So he was too

156
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 3: aggressive at Philip Island last year on Sunday you could

157
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 3: almost argue that he was too conservative in that he

158
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 3: was the only rider in the top twelve on the

159
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 3: road when the rain hits a hit for wet weather tires.

160
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 3: Was he playing it too safe in that we talked,

161
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 3: you know, you mentioned before about this new, improved, more

162
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 3: more rational Martine where he just had this succession of

163
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 3: second place finishes where he couldn't win. Look like he

164
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 3: turned over a new leaf because he was being conservative

165
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 3: and sensible when he couldn't win and taking the next

166
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 3: best possible result. Did that conservation go too far on Sunday?

167
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 3: And is that part of the reason that he was

168
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 3: the only guy in that top ten really that rolled

169
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 3: the dice and pitched particularly we didn't need to. I

170
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 3: wonder if he'd almost sort have gone too far on

171
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 3: the conservatism side and it came and bid him yeah, I.

172
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: Have nothing to say that other than I completely agree.

173
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: I think that he's trying to look at things differently.

174
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: But yeah, he's gone from one extreme to the other

175
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 2: and he said it just didn't work out for him,

176
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 2: which is such a shame. But it's learning and growing, right.

177
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 2: I think it's bought the championship battle closer. But does

178
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 2: that mean that there's more pressure on him or he's

179
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 2: going to put more pressure on himself? And then same

180
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: with Paco Bangnaye. Is he because it's his home Grand

181
00:07:59,280 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 2: Prix that we're.

182
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:00,679
Speaker 1: Going to again?

183
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 2: Is there more pressure on Peco because you know, he

184
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: was as fast as he was on Pole is his home race,

185
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 2: and I think he feels like he needs to retain

186
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 2: it because why would he give it to Jjy Martin, Right.

187
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's part of it, I reckon there's another. I

188
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 3: don't know if it's front and center in Martine's mind,

189
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 3: but he has eyes. He can see a time sheet,

190
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 3: he can see where a Prillia is right now right,

191
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 3: and you'd be going, oh my god, what have I done?

192
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 3: I mean, realistically, he had to leave to Caddie. They'd

193
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 3: overlooked him twice for that factory team. In a three

194
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 3: year period. But if you're looking at it from Jugay

195
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 3: Martine's perspective and then where Aprillia are for probably next

196
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 3: year in the year after. I'm not saying this is

197
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 3: the only chance he's going to have to win a

198
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 3: world championship, but it certainly seems like it's the only

199
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 3: chance he's going to have to win a world championship

200
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 3: in the short term, because based on what we're seeing

201
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 3: from Aprillia, I know how good Martine is. He's not

202
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 3: winning a world championship on a Prillier because nobody's winning

203
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 3: a world championship on an a prellier in the next

204
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 3: couple of years. You do wonder how much that little

205
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 3: bit of I better do this this year because I'm

206
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 3: probably not going to be I might win a race

207
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 3: here or there the next two years, I'm not competing

208
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 3: for a championship. That adds another layer of pressure for me.

209
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 3: Whereas Bangala is like, well, I've already won two championships.

210
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 3: I mean, the best team on the best bike, and

211
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 3: I will be next year and I will be the

212
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 3: year after. Even Mark Marquez it's like, well, I'm doing

213
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 3: what I'm doing on a year old Decadi. Next year,

214
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 3: I'm going to be on the modern speck in the

215
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,719
Speaker 3: best team. Joe Martin is undoubtedly going backwards next year.

216
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 3: It's just the way it's going to go. So it's like,

217
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 3: if I don't get it right in these next seven races,

218
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 3: I might not win one for a while or at all, perhaps,

219
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 3: And you do wonder how much that's playing into his

220
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 3: mind as well. But it just seemed like a It

221
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 3: seemed like an unnecessary gamble to make the stop for

222
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 3: a wet bike. And one thing I did afterwards, I thought, Okay,

223
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 3: who else pitted in the race and where were they

224
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 3: in the field when they pitted? So I've written this

225
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 3: down just for you. The other riders that pitted and

226
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 3: took the gamble. Elasias Barger was twelve at the time.

227
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 3: Pedro Acosta I was thirteenth and he'd already crashed so

228
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 3: he had a damaged bike, so it was probably a

229
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 3: decent gamble to come in any way for him and

230
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 3: the other riders that went for the wet bikes and

231
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 3: then regretted it. Ralph Fernandez Maverick Vignalez were fifteenth and sixteenth,

232
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 3: and Alex Rins was twentieth. So none of those guys

233
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 3: had absolutely anything to lose because they were just going

234
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 3: to finish pretty much there if they'd stayed out. Martin

235
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 3: was the only guy that's hopped twelve who pitted for

236
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 3: a wet bike. And to me, there's a little bit

237
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 3: of a little bit of conservatism as I as I

238
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 3: said before, but maybe a little bit of pressure too

239
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 3: in that of all the things you do when you're

240
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 3: the championship leader, you don't hand the other guys at

241
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 3: advantage when you don't need to. And that was just

242
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 3: super interesting for me psychologically as much as anything else.

243
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 2: Let's touch on Peco Bannaya quickly, because I spoke a

244
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 2: little bit before. You know, homegrownd Prix, he was on poll,

245
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 2: but coming into this weekend after Aragon that incident, he

246
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 2: made a public apology to Alex Marquees on the Thursday

247
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 2: press conference, which I thought was.

248
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: A nice thing.

249
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 2: I don't know if the meaning was there, but I

250
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 2: think that for him he had to do that because

251
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 2: there was such conflict on social media and I'm sure

252
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 2: in the paddock and everything like that, and for him

253
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 2: going into his home weekend, I think he could have

254
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 2: gone two ways. And I'm bringing this up because I

255
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 2: know that you have your feelings regarding this, but Peco

256
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 2: is part of the VR forty six Academy under Valentino Rossi.

257
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 2: They're in basically Rossi's hometown, and we actually spoke about

258
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 2: this during after the racing that on the World Feed

259
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 2: they would talk about, you know, some different writer, and

260
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 2: the cameras there Simon craigfar is interviewing you know, somebody

261
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 2: on the.

262
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: Grid and you could hear booing and it just.

263
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 2: Shows that somewhere Mark Marquez or Alex Marquez is coming

264
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 2: up on the screen and the crowd are booing, And

265
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 2: for me, I was so taken aback because I'm like,

266
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 2: he know, it's not even on the grid anymore, guys,

267
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 2: how is it coming that this is still happening? And

268
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 2: I think that Pekku Banyaya, I don't know if he

269
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 2: felt like he had to apologize because in his mind,

270
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 2: maybe next year he's got Mark Marquez as a teammate.

271
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: Mark could possibly kick his But next year we don't know.

272
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 2: But I'm just saying so, I think for him mentally

273
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 2: this weekend, I think he had to do that to

274
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 2: kind of kind of sweep it under the rug and

275
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 2: give himself some peace.

276
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, a little bit. I mean the thing pre race,

277
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 3: I think he admitted that the heat of the moment,

278
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 3: he was clearly hurt after what happened to Aragon, hurt

279
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 3: physically because he had a bike dragged over the top

280
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 3: of him, so emotions were pretty high. It was sort

281
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 3: of an apology in air quotes, and that he didn't

282
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 3: necessarily apologize for what he said. He apologized for how

283
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 3: he said it, which is fine. I mean, can you

284
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 3: can walk things back when you've got cooler heads. That's

285
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 3: all fine. What was interesting in this is that you know,

286
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 3: on the podium on Sunday after the race, like Peko

287
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,599
Speaker 3: was trying to get the crew the chill out a

288
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 3: little bit with the booing.

289
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 2: But I don't know.

290
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 3: We talked about this offline yesterday, like it's twenty twenty four,

291
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 3: Like what year is it here, Like it's fifteen years

292
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 3: since Rossi last won a title, it's three years since

293
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 3: he's retired Malaysia twenty fifteen. Yes, it was nine years ago,

294
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 3: And I'm just wondering, like what's the statute of limitations

295
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 3: on booing? Like is there a tie where it kind

296
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 3: of expires or what have you booing? Per se, A

297
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 3: few people get a little bit up at you, like, oh,

298
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 3: it's booing, it's unsporting. I don't care less if you

299
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 3: pay your money boo boo, or you're like, you can

300
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 3: boom me if you don't like this sentence really to Honestly,

301
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 3: I don't really mind. I don't really care about the

302
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 3: action of the booing. But at what point do we

303
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 3: sort of not let this go and move on? But

304
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 3: it doesn't still need to be the prevailing narrative here.

305
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 3: And we were saying offline yesterday like, don't get me

306
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 3: wrong with the Rossi effect and what it's done to

307
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 3: modern day Moto GP, and it's made it's helped make

308
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 3: the sport what it is today. Every writer of anyone

309
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 3: who makes a dollarate of Moto GP should probably be

310
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 3: giving Rossier bit of a tip saying thanks very much

311
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 3: for bringing this sport into a different sporting stratosphere by

312
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 3: his achievements and the profile and everything else. But can

313
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 3: we just move on a little bit here, because it

314
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 3: just feels like it's dragging something along that probably has

315
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 3: passed its use by date at this point. The other

316
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 3: factor too, I don't know about you think with this,

317
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 3: But I almost think the more you boo Marquees, the

318
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 3: more he loves it.

319
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 2: In that he.

320
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 3: Likes I don't think he minds being the villain at all.

321
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 3: He's obviously hugely revered in Spain, but when he's on

322
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 3: enemy territory, I actually think it almost becomes a bit

323
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 3: of a superpower for him in that oh you want

324
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 3: to boom me, do you well? Watch this then? And

325
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 3: there's definitely a little bit of that with him, So

326
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 3: sometimes you've got to be a little bit careful what

327
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 3: you wish for. There's some people that crumble with that

328
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 3: sort of derision and attention going towards them. To me,

329
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 3: it almost makes him even stronger than he actually is.

330
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 3: So yeah, I don't know, like there's like a bit

331
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 3: of pantomime villain going on with him, and you expect

332
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 3: it at all the Italian rounds. But at some point,

333
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 3: can we just kind of move on here? Because look,

334
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 3: Rossi was an incredible writer, Marquez is an incredible writer.

335
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 3: Banyai is the gold standard of the sport. We just

336
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 3: enjoy it for what it is and actually have a

337
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 3: sporting contest rather than just pantomime booing. And if you

338
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 3: would like to boom me at the end of that

339
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 3: little tirade, feel free, please.

340
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 2: No, I appreciate what you're saying there. I think it

341
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 2: would be cool if we could have a little bit

342
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 2: more of a narrative on track and where we're getting

343
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 2: out with Jorge and Peco and Mark with the championship.

344
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 2: But it's funny because all these writers are friends the

345
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 2: VR forty six Academy, which I think is great that

346
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 2: Valentino's done and he's helped bring writers through and we're

347
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 2: seeing the positives from that. But they're all friends with

348
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 2: each other. And I think back in the day, you know,

349
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 2: like Casey Stonehell wasn't friends with other people in the

350
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 2: Paddick even like Casey and my brother, like they get

351
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 2: along and they've known each other for forever.

352
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: But they don't hang out on weekends. You know, in

353
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: their mind their rivals. But these guys, they're all best

354
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: friends with each other.

355
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 2: So I think it would be nice to have a

356
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 2: little bit of that, and we're getting a taste of

357
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 2: it with a championship battle, but not like it used

358
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 2: to be with the Marquees Valentino Rossi Era, let's call it.

359
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 2: But speaking of all VR forty six with a front row.

360
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 2: We had Peco Baana, Franco Morbidelli in second, his equal

361
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 2: best qualifying in Moto GP, and Marco Bazaki in third.

362
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 3: I thought you were about to congratulate me for my

363
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 3: incredible foresight of having Franco Morbidelli on a podium at Massana,

364
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 3: which I did say to you that if I ever

365
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 3: got a prediction wrong on this podcast, I would never

366
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 3: mention it again. But I did have more Bidelli on

367
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 3: a podium at Massana. I can't remember whether it was

368
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 3: the spridge or the main race. I'm outing myself here,

369
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 3: but yeah, look, I mean a bit of local knowledge

370
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 3: in that track, and let's face it, Franco he's on

371
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 3: the best bike on the grid, so it was nice

372
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 3: to see him do something. But wasn't a great surprise

373
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 3: that grid, was it? Because you've got the guys. I mean,

374
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 3: Banya said he's done literally millions of laps around there,

375
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 3: and that's one of those things where it's not actually

376
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 3: hyperbole to say that he probably has done a million

377
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 3: laps around there. So even with him being a little

378
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 3: bit beaten up, they were the gold standard in qualifying

379
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 3: those guys. But yeah, more Bbidelli up the front. How

380
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 3: weird was it to see Franco Morbidelli up the front.

381
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 3: It looked just strange, didn't it.

382
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 2: He makes me laugh so much in his post race

383
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 2: de reefs or when they're interviewing him, because he is

384
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 2: cool as a cucumber.

385
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, this.

386
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 2: Is good, and everybody else is like, you know, it

387
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 2: was hard out there, and there's so much energy behind it.

388
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: Frankie says relaxed. Frankie is relaxed, right.

389
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 3: Did you see his comment about the rain on Sunday

390
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,239
Speaker 3: where they were talking about it might rain, it might this,

391
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 3: and he sort of shrugged his shoulders and said God

392
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 3: will decide. And that was just like the most Frankie

393
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 3: comment of all time. It's like, if it rains, fine,

394
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 3: if it doesn't rain, fine. And that was one of

395
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 3: the sort of pinch points of the actual race, wasn't it.

396
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 3: When he fell from the podium positions at the start

397
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 3: of that seventh lap in the race, that was when

398
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 3: people started to think, oh, maybe we do need to

399
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 3: pit for wet weather bikes. And I know he was

400
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 3: behind Martin at the time, but Martin would have clearly

401
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 3: seen that Morbidelli had gone to the ground, and I

402
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 3: wonder if that played a factor too, But I didn't

403
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 3: mind Frankie being up the front. Was nice to see.

404
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 3: It's got a certain style, like you were saying, like

405
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 3: there's a laconic nature about him that translates to the

406
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 3: way that he rides. It was nice to see him

407
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 3: back up there. And do we expect to see him

408
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 3: back up there for the next round at Massado?

409
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 2: Yes?

410
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 3: Do I have any faith that he's going to do

411
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 3: it for the rest of the year after that? Probably not.

412
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 2: Let's touch on the KTMS because Paula Spargo's top ten

413
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 2: finish actually really surprised me. We know that the KTMS,

414
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 2: I think they're starting to head in the right direction,

415
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 2: and you could see that Pole's bike was very different.

416
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 2: Simon Craifi also spoke about that on the World Feed,

417
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 2: saying that it's noticeably different. There's a lot of things there,

418
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 2: but you know, for the main Grand Prix we had

419
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 2: Brad Binder fourth, Jack Miller eighth, and then Paula.

420
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 1: Spargo in tenth.

421
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 2: Apart from Pedro Acosta's crash, I would say that's a

422
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 2: good weekend for KTM.

423
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, very much. So and not that sort of track

424
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 3: that tends to suit them either. It's a bit more

425
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 3: flowing and you know, the stop and go tracks are

426
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 3: more their sort of thing. But no, they were pretty decent.

427
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 3: I mean Binda. It was sort of memories of twenty

428
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 3: twenty three for Binder on the weekend. He's just always

429
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 3: there in situations like that. You have trust that he's

430
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 3: going to get the best out of whatever that bite

431
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 3: can do on the day. Really good weekend for Jack

432
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 3: Miller relative to the rest of his season. Eighth in

433
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 3: the sprint, eighth in the Grand Prix, ran in the

434
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 3: podium places in the Grand Prix, and which made me

435
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 3: do a bit of a deep dive yesterday. I thought,

436
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 3: how many times has Jack Miller run in the podium

437
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 3: places this year? He has spent five laps in third

438
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 3: this year, none in first, none in second, and four

439
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 3: of those five laps were on Sunday when the weather

440
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 3: was a bit sketchy at Massano. So nice to see

441
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 3: Jack back up there. I think he needed it to

442
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 3: stay sketchy or wetter, because I think he would have

443
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 3: stayed in that top group. He did regress to the

444
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 3: mean a little bit, and yeah, Paula Spargo on the

445
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 3: very visually different looking case, Yeah, which is clearly a

446
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 3: nod for next season. A Costa was quick until he

447
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 3: started hitting people and ripping winglets off the side of

448
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 3: his bike. But on the whole, a good weekend for

449
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 3: KTM relative to probably what we expected for them at Massano,

450
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 3: and also relative to who the other team that we

451
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 3: always compare them to, because they're in that cluster behind

452
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 3: the decaddees, because Aprillia were basically nowhere the entire weekend,

453
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 3: and you had this bizarre circumstance. I don't know what

454
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 3: you thought about this. You've got Maverick Vinales and Juge

455
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 3: Martin fighting for the final point in the Grand Prix

456
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 3: in fifteenth but they're in the TV shop because they've

457
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 3: been lapped by the leaders. And it was just the

458
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 3: most bizarre thing because you don't see that in MOTORGP

459
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 3: races with guys getting lapped, certainly not guys who were

460
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 3: on a bike that was capable of winning a Sprit

461
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 3: twenty four hours earlier with Barbidelli. So that was bizarre

462
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 3: because you've got this fight for one point that's going

463
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 3: on right behind the leaders because they're a lap down,

464
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 3: but Aprillia had an absolute shock over the course of

465
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 3: the weekend at Massano, which was probably an extension of

466
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 3: what happened to Aragon. But getting back to your original point, Yeah, look,

467
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 3: a good weekend for KTM and maybe a sign that

468
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 3: things are starting to move forward there because that a

469
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 3: spargo a bike seems to be the way they're going

470
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 3: forward for a bit of the rest of this year

471
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 3: and certainly for twenty five, and it seems to be

472
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 3: better than what they've had.

473
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the Yamahas quickly, because fabr Corderraro, he

474
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 2: was in the top ten, I believe in Sunday's Grand Prix.

475
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,479
Speaker 2: Also in the sprint, it felt like he was closer

476
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 2: to the leading group. So I'm wondering what has changed

477
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 2: with the Yamahas in literally the last week where we're

478
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 2: seeing a new glimpse of Fabio or the glimpse of

479
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 2: what Fabeau used to be and who he really is,

480
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 2: which is a world champion that bit closer to the

481
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 2: front again.

482
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, equal to Portugal for their best result of the year.

483
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 3: He finished seventh in the Grand Prix and we saw

484
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 3: him the week previously. He was very good in the

485
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 3: sprint at Aragon. They just look a little bit more

486
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 3: sorted and a little bit more competitive to what they

487
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,959
Speaker 3: have been. There's a slight asterisk on that one to

488
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 3: me because they had recently tested at Massano, so they

489
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 3: hit the ground running on Friday. They were a lot

490
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 3: further sort of down the track of having the bike

491
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 3: sorted for the try than any of the others because

492
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 3: they've been to Massano so recently. I think you'll see

493
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 3: that sort of early out the gate advantage maybe disappear

494
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 3: a bit when we get to Massano too, because everyone's

495
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 3: been there two weeks before. But it's undeniable that they

496
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 3: are starting to progress. And you know, we keep talking

497
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 3: about them being a bit of a one man band

498
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 3: because they've only got two bikes anyway. And Alex Rinz

499
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 3: still doesn't look anywhere, dear fit. He just watched the

500
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 3: guy walk when he's not on the bike, and you

501
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 3: wonder how he's actually riding the bike when he's on it.

502
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 3: But yeah, like you said, look, they look much more convincing.

503
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 3: The extra testing and the concessions and the amount of

504
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 3: riding they're doing away from the spotlight of a Grand

505
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 3: Prix weekend is massive, but they're making the most of

506
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 3: a bad situation and they're clearly moving forward. And I'm

507
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 3: sure the next thing on your run sheet is we

508
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 3: need to talk about Repso Honda, which we will, but

509
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 3: they have massive They've distanced themselves. Now it's no longer

510
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 3: Honda and Yamahara at the back. It's Decati first, Katiemmapriuli

511
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 3: a second, depending on the week, and Yamaha is in

512
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 3: a tear by itself, and then Honda's in a tear

513
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 3: that you don't want to be in down the back.

514
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 3: So positive signs for the Yamaha. And like you say,

515
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 3: we know the rider's good enough because Fabio, to my mind,

516
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 3: is still one of the best three riders in Moto GP.

517
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 3: He just hasn't had the machinery to show it.

518
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 2: Repsol Honda, let's go there then, So not the weekend

519
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 2: they wanted because Juan Mia out with a tummy bug,

520
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 2: and then Luca Marinis same thing Sunday, went to bed

521
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 2: with fever's Sunday night, woke up and was unable to race.

522
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 2: So not the weekend that they are wanting. And then

523
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,719
Speaker 2: the news broke on Monday that Repsol is parting ways

524
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 2: with Honda Racing Corporation, which for me, thinking back in

525
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 2: my earliest memories of watching Moto GP back in like

526
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 2: ninety six, ninety seven, ninety eight, is all you see

527
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 2: was Repsol Honda, and that was what it was, obviously

528
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 2: Mick doing. Like, there's such a big partnership, and I

529
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 2: guess it's kind of the history of Moto GP and

530
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 2: now they're deciding to part ways.

531
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 3: What's your take on that, Matt, Yeah, Look, it just

532
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 3: shows you where things are and that there there wasn't

533
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 3: a Repsol Honder on the grid on Sunday, and I

534
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 3: had barely noticed, to be fair, because we never see

535
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 3: them on the TV coverage anyway, so they were completely

536
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 3: anonymous that you know, usually they're anonymous and on the grid.

537
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 3: This weekend they were anonymous and not on the grid.

538
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 3: And then an hour, literally an hour after the race

539
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 3: that they hadn't competed in, the press release comes out

540
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 3: and says that Repsol Honder and HRC are partying ways.

541
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 3: We knew this was coming because it was floated and

542
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 3: around about May, but it was the official announcement on Sunday.

543
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 3: But like you were saying. You know, for a lot

544
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 3: of people their entire history of watching Motor GP, it's

545
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 3: Nick doo It, it's Valentino Rossie, It's Dicky Hayden winning

546
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 3: a world championship, It's Casey, It's Marquez with six titles

547
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 3: in seven years. That bike and that color scheme just

548
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 3: became synonymous with winning, and it all went sideways obviously

549
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 3: once Mark hurt himself at the start of twenty twenty.

550
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 3: And yeah, he came back and won a couple of

551
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 3: races in twenty one when his body wasn't really working,

552
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 3: But it's just been a place where career years have

553
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 3: gone to die in recent times. I mean, you think

554
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 3: of the last hole Halo red So season on the

555
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 3: Repsol Honda as a disaster. Chiuan Mi has either just

556
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 3: been broken or nowhere since he went there after the

557
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 3: Suzuki thing finished, and it is kind of sad. But

558
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 3: I also wonder too whether this is a bit of

559
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 3: a blessing in disguise for them, because I reckon we

560
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 3: judge that team differently because they're reps So Honda. We

561
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 3: think of the history and the pedigree. If they can

562
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 3: just be insert sponsor name here, Honda for the next

563
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 3: couple of years, maybe we see what they're doing with

564
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 3: a slightly different lens and we don't judge them based

565
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 3: off that successful pass. But that about you. How many

566
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 3: years are we going to keep calling them reps So

567
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 3: Honda for But even though they're not Repsol Honda. I'm

568
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 3: one hundred percent going to write that one hundred times

569
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 3: before I go, oh, hey, God, they're not that anymore.

570
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 3: So whoever the next title sponsor is, they've kind of

571
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 3: got their work cut out because everyone's got to call

572
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 3: them reps So hold.

573
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 2: There anyway, Literally, I was just thinking the same thing,

574
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 2: and in my head, I'm going, well, we don't Callju

575
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 2: Caddie Lenovo Ju Caddi, we don't call Yamaha Monster Energy, Yamaha.

576
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 1: But it's always been Repsol Honda. It's just what is

577
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: always been.

578
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 2: So it is going to be sad to not see

579
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 2: those colors. And I guess for those who maybe haven't

580
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 2: experienced it, I went to Spain in twenty nineteen, and

581
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 2: you know, Repsol is there field stations over there, and

582
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 2: you walk in and you see back then it was

583
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 2: like Mark Marquez, Danny Pedrosa, you'd see that everywhere because

584
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 2: in Spain and Europe it's so well known, so to

585
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 2: cut ties with that being majority of European Championship as

586
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 2: we know, that is huge for the.

587
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 3: Sport well, even the way the sport looks visually for

588
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 3: the European rounds, particularly the rounds in Spain where there's

589
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 3: been a huge following with Marques and Pedrosa in the past.

590
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 3: You look at the grand stands and they've just got

591
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 3: this tinge of orange to them because of all the

592
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,239
Speaker 3: team colors and the merch that everyone's got and so

593
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 3: on and so forth. So motor Gip's going to have

594
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 3: this different color palette in Europe, which is bizarre because

595
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 3: for as long as we can remember, that's just been

596
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 3: this predominant color in the grandstand So it's certainly going

597
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 3: to take certainly going to take some getting used to.

598
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 3: Orange now available for all other team sponsors, by the way,

599
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,199
Speaker 3: but I don't think anyone will use it because you're

600
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 3: just going to be associated with Honda until people you

601
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 3: start to forget about the whole Repsol Honda thing. But yeah,

602
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 3: I'm going to have to train myself, don't write reps

603
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 3: so Honda don't write reps a Honda because I know

604
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 3: I'm going to do it because I've just been so

605
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 3: used to doing it.

606
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 2: Do you think then reps all are going to take

607
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 2: a step back from the sport or do you think

608
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 2: that they will maybe go to a different team or

609
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 2: maybe even like a Moto to Motor three team. Yeah.

610
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,479
Speaker 3: What I can imagine them doing is because we've got

611
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 3: this big rual reset coming in twenty seven, they can

612
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 3: almost afford to sort of sit back and go, all right,

613
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 3: what's the landscape going to be like in Motor GP

614
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty seven, because you know, there's no what

615
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,199
Speaker 3: chance they go back to Honda if and when Honda

616
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 3: actually get good again. I mean, because I don't think

617
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 3: Honda's not going to be down here forever. That's pretty clear.

618
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,120
Speaker 3: So maybe when things start moving up for Honda again,

619
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 3: maybe they rekindle that association. But what's amazing to me

620
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 3: is that you think how much modern day sport changes.

621
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 3: I mean, every four or five years, things change massively.

622
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 3: A thirty year sponsorship with a brand and a team.

623
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:03,239
Speaker 3: It's not something we see, is it.

624
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 2: No, that's not something you ever see. And thinking back

625
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 2: to other sports like even Formula One. I remember, like

626
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 2: Michael Schumacher, I mean there's always been like the tobacco

627
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 2: and the alcohol sponsors and things, or V eight's even

628
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 2: has always been Shell. But you don't often see like

629
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 2: that one major sponsor that sticks around for so long.

630
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: So they say change.

631
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 2: Is as good as a holiday, and hopefully this is

632
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 2: the holiday that Honda, not Rep So Honda, Honda need

633
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,959
Speaker 2: to help them improve. But you actually wrote an article

634
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 2: in the lead up to the Grand Prix and something

635
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 2: I thought was really really nice. Mark Marquez actually went

636
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 2: to the Rep solhanda garage post his Aragon win and

637
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 2: said to his old crew chief Sandy Hernandez and the

638
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,239
Speaker 2: rest of his old team that you guys also are

639
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 2: part of this win. And I thought that is just

640
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 2: that's top class, like big round of applause for Mark,

641
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 2: because you don't often see that. They'll usually writers will

642
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 2: blame the old team or maybe not have anything to do,

643
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 2: but that was his family.

644
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, completely, And I think you saw that he was

645
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 3: really wrestling with that when he left Repso Honda with

646
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 3: a year left on that contract, because the main feeling

647
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 3: was he felt he was ready to win again and

648
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 3: the bike wasn't, and that's been proven out with what's

649
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 3: happened this year because Mark is back to being something

650
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 3: close to Mark again. But those guys, he'd come through

651
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 3: Moto two with a lot of those guys, he'd had

652
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 3: all that successive motor GP and he felt that that

653
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 3: was the appropriate thing to do, because yes, you win

654
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,719
Speaker 3: the race at Arragon, but that's not the win or

655
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 3: the race of a moment. That's something that had taken

656
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 3: years of mental pain and anguish and surgeries and we've

657
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 3: seen all of that. And I think that Spanish crew

658
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 3: with Santi Hernandez and those guys, they've been so close

659
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 3: to him through all the good times that he didn't

660
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 3: almost want to not acknowledge them after all those bad

661
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 3: times and go back and say, look, you guys are

662
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 3: a part of this. I wouldn't have been able to

663
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 3: get back here without your involvement. So it was a

664
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 3: small gesture, but it was a really appropriate one, and

665
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 3: I think it just speaks to how tight that Marquez

666
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 3: in a circle is. Some of those guys obviously could

667
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 3: not come with him to Grassini because he was already

668
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 3: signing a one year deal. They'd already signed with Honda.

669
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 3: So they had to go their own separate ways. But yeah,

670
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 3: it was nice to acknowledge the past, and like you said,

671
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 3: it was class I think.

672
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 2: Speaking of acknowledging the past, I wanted to touch briefly

673
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 2: on the track itself because obviously it has quite a

674
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 2: big past. You know, it was where Wayne Rainy essentially

675
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 2: was paralyzed back in ninety three, I believe, and so

676
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 2: Goodyear by the way, yeah, I was born so but

677
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 2: I wanted to talk about because the story behind that.

678
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 2: Obviously Motor GP didn't want to return the old Dorna

679
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 2: didn't want to return there, but when they decided to,

680
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 2: they reverse the track around and this weekend we saw

681
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 2: so many track limit warnings.

682
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: Right, is that.

683
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 2: Purely just because of this reversal of the track the

684
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 2: corner exit, there's not I guess, like that runoff that

685
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 2: they can harm, so the bikes are just constantly going

686
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 2: over the green.

687
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 3: Yeah. It's one of those tracks that you look at

688
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 3: how much faster the lap times are now compared to

689
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 3: the old days. It's quite a narrow track when you

690
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 3: look at it on TV, it looks narrow for bikes,

691
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 3: and you know there's not too many tracks these days

692
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 3: where we go, well, this looks a little bit narrow

693
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 3: and a bit one line, and sometimes the racing there

694
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 3: can be pretty processional because it's very, very hard to

695
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 3: pass at this particular track because the performance of the

696
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 3: bikes is such that the breaking distances are less the

697
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,479
Speaker 3: corner entree. What you can do on corner Eytree has changed.

698
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 3: So it's one of those ones. Look, it's super popular.

699
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 3: They've got a massive crowd over the weekend, and it's

700
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 3: Rossy territory, so many riders come from around this area.

701
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 3: But it kind of feels to me that, you know,

702
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 3: we were talking earlier this year about the twenty seven

703
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 3: rules and trying to slow the bikes down a little

704
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 3: bit and make the water down the performance to a point,

705
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 3: this is one of those tracks that I don't think

706
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 3: motor GP's outgrown it, but it's one of those one

707
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 3: where it does look a little bit too big and

708
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 3: a little bit too fast these days. And look, it's

709
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 3: an amazingly popular venue, hugely atmospheric. It's a great one

710
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 3: to have on the calendar, and I'm glad that it's

711
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 3: going to stay on the calendar. But yeah, it is

712
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 3: one of those circuits that for different reasons. You look

713
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 3: at a place like Migello because of the high speeds

714
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 3: and how close the walls are at the end of

715
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 3: the start finished straight there. There's a few tracks that

716
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 3: come into that category. For me, this is kind of

717
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 3: one of them. But you look, sometimes you need a

718
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 3: bit of a randomness to spice up the race there.

719
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 3: We certainly got that on Sunday because a lot of

720
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 3: the time at Massano it can be a bit processional.

721
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 3: A typical Massano race tends to be a bit like

722
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 3: the sprint B was on Saturday, and that whoever gets

723
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 3: the first lap, and particularly those first couple of quarters,

724
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 3: which are very very sketchy on a motor GP race,

725
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 3: whoever gets those right once Orje Martine got into the lead,

726
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 3: that was kind of it, and that tends to be

727
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 3: the way racing goes there. So you need a little

728
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 3: bit of randomness. But look, I'm glad the track's still

729
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 3: on the calendar because in terms of atmosphere and the history,

730
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 3: what have you, I think it's one of the better ones.

731
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 2: It was cooline start on the TSO sprint where he

732
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 2: just got there before the first corner, Like watching that

733
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 2: replay was just he knew the line, he took it.

734
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: Off, he went.

735
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:12,959
Speaker 3: I actually thought he'd jumped the start because he was

736
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 3: basically in front before anyone had got out of about

737
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 3: second gear. I actually had to rewatch the start and

738
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 3: whether he tried to time the lights or whether he

739
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 3: just got it completely hooked up. But it was almost

740
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 3: like he'd started before the rest of them, because he

741
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 3: was well in front before they got to the apex

742
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 3: of turn one from the second row of the grid.

743
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 3: Given all the bikes have got these ride height devices

744
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 3: and launch procedures these days, that's not something you often see.

745
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 3: So yeah, he was pretty awesome on Saturday, and of

746
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 3: course we've not talked about that because of what he

747
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 3: did on Sunday, but he was very, very good on Saturday.

748
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 3: It was outstanding.

749
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 2: What do we say, Matt, You're only as good as

750
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 2: your last race. And unfortunately we're going to talk about

751
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 2: Sunday a lot more than we asked Saturday, but to

752
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 2: continue on with Sunday, we'll always have to touch on

753
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 2: our Aussie, So let's talk about Sena. Ags made his

754
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 2: way from Q one into Q two, qualified sixteenth on

755
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 2: the grid and then he finished in P eleven, so

756
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 2: not bad for Center.

757
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, decent race for Center. I thought he seems to

758
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,919
Speaker 3: be around this tenth eleventh, Like I was just looking

759
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 3: back before. He's finished tenth or eleventh four times now,

760
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 3: so that's on a decent weekend. I mean, we've seen

761
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 3: him break into the top ten, he's had a fifth

762
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 3: at Catalonia, but on a decent weekend, he tends to

763
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 3: be around that, just at the back end of the

764
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 3: top ten. Pretty decent result. I thought. Fifteenth in the

765
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 3: World Championship now, and look, he was pretty competitive after

766
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 3: having to fight his way through and get into Q two,

767
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 3: but he did finish one place ahead of Sergio Garcia,

768
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 3: who's lost the championship lead in Motor two now to

769
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 3: Agua after Agura won that race on Sunday. But I

770
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 3: don't know about you, but what did you think of

771
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 3: the post race with Garcia where the cameras were hanging

772
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 3: around in the garage where he was clearly pretty distraught

773
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 3: after another really terrible weekend. Because my thoughts were I

774
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 3: wasn't as anti showing a writer being upset from a

775
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 3: bad result, but I thought that camera shot lingered a

776
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 3: little bit too long. It was a little bit uncomfortable

777
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 3: wasn't it.

778
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,359
Speaker 2: I agree, and I think you know we spoke about

779
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:11,760
Speaker 2: it before. We're seeing this where Sergio's results are maybe

780
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 2: lacking a little bit, purely because of the stress that

781
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 2: he's been going through, where he thought he had a

782
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 2: man a GP right, he didn't. Same with Joe Roberts, right,

783
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 2: but for him to be so visibly destrayed the poor thing.

784
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 2: I'm a very empathetic person, and for me, I'm going

785
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 2: leave him alone. He needs to process what is going on.

786
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 2: I get it, it's entertainment, it's TV show, But at

787
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 2: the same time, leave the poor kid alone because he

788
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 2: is only just a kid. Still.

789
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 3: To me, it was a five second TV shot, not

790
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 3: a thirty second one like show that he's upset, he's disappointed,

791
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 3: he's finished twelfth, that's not gone very well. And then

792
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 3: let's move on. Let's not watch a guy suffer on

793
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 3: live TV. I think he can suffer in private. I

794
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 3: think everyone can see how upset the guy is. But

795
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,399
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what the viewers get from just this long,

796
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 3: lingering shot of watching a guy visibly distraught after the race.

797
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 3: I thought that probably crossed the line, to be honest, and.

798
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 2: Same with one of the other writers. I can't remember

799
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 2: if it was Moto two or Moto three. I think

800
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be Moto.

801
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: Three, where one of them had a.

802
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 2: Bit of a wedgy situation going on and they just

803
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 2: seem to want to play.

804
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: Him sorting that out.

805
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 2: That's fine, you can move on from that now, we

806
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 2: don't need to see this exactly.

807
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've got the gist. Let's go to the next shot.

808
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 2: Well, let's go to the next category and talk about

809
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 2: Moto three. So we have Ozzie, Jacob Rulestone and Joel

810
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 2: Kelso who both made their way into Q two, And

811
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 2: let's talk about Rulestone to start with. It's good that

812
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 2: we're seeing him in Q two, but it seems like

813
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 2: at this point in the year now he had such

814
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 2: a good run up to that summer break and then

815
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,800
Speaker 2: even just after that not too bad, but it seems

816
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 2: like now he's struggling with something there.

817
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: What's what'ts your take on where Rurlestone's at?

818
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting, Like so he was twelfth on Sunday.

819
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,760
Speaker 3: It was a little bit better because he'd only scored

820
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 3: four points in the previous five races. And you mentioned

821
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 3: that first half of the year he fell off at

822
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 3: Saxon Ring and since then he's not quite managed to

823
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 3: get back to where he was at the start of

824
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,919
Speaker 3: the year. It's so hard to see in Moto three

825
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,720
Speaker 3: because of the complete chaos of the opening couple of laps,

826
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 3: but something I have been noticing he seems to get

827
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 3: beaten up a little bit off the start, where the

828
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 3: aggression is absolutely over the top for the most part,

829
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 3: but that's the way it's got to be in Moto three.

830
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 3: It's just the jungle out there. I do wonder if

831
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,280
Speaker 3: there needs to be a bit of a more aggression

832
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 3: in the opening laps. And it's interesting with riders will

833
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 3: notice the tendency of other riders. There's certain guys you

834
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 3: don't want to be anywhere near at the start of

835
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 3: the race. He's like, well, this guy's going to put

836
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 3: a move on me and not think about it. I

837
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:42,320
Speaker 3: wonder if he's being seen as soft target is harsh,

838
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 3: but I think you know what I'm getting at. Maybe

839
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 3: some people think he's a guy we can maybe try

840
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 3: and take advantage of a little bit here because he's

841
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 3: maybe not as feisty on the first lap. To me,

842
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 3: he does a lot of the damage in his race

843
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 3: tends to be early. He races well after that. He's

844
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 3: very decisive with his passing once the race settles down,

845
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,439
Speaker 3: But early in the races I reckon he gets beaten

846
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 3: up a little bit, and it's interesting herbe Polceress mentioned

847
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 3: this a couple of times. We also have to remember

848
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 3: that he's a rookie and incredibly difficult and competitive championship.

849
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 3: But if there was one thing he'll take out of

850
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 3: this year, it's the aggression of the first lap. That'll

851
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,359
Speaker 3: come with experience. But you also don't want to be

852
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 3: painted as someone that's a bit of an easy mark

853
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 3: at the start of a race, and I think that's

854
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 3: where a lot of the damage is being done at

855
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 3: the moment, someone who's.

856
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 2: Not afraid to be aggressive on the first lap. Joel

857
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 2: Calso So he crossed the line in P six this weekend,

858
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 2: but he was up the front for a long time

859
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 2: that race.

860
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 3: Could we just stop for two seconds and say that

861
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 3: Motor III race at Mesado was There's some races where

862
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 3: you can write thousands of words of analysis and sometimes

863
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 3: you just push your chair back and just giggle because

864
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 3: it was just funny. It was absolutely absurd that the

865
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 3: race was won by a helpercare So who had a

866
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 3: top of log lap penalty. It was about five seconds

867
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 3: off the lead and still stormed through won the race,

868
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 3: but Kelso was seventh on the road. He gained a

869
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 3: place at the classification because Staven Alonso had run off

870
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 3: track on the final lap. Joel Kelso was zero point

871
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 3: nine seconds from winning the Grand Prix, and he crossed

872
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 3: the light in seventh place and was classified six. I

873
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,359
Speaker 3: reckon it's the best race I've seen this year in

874
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:20,800
Speaker 3: any category. It was absolutely fantastic. And look, Joel, he's

875
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 3: just hanging in there on a bike that probably isn't

876
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 3: as good as some of the guys he's racing with,

877
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 3: right at the very very front, and he's just constantly

878
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 3: up there on the first couple of rows of the grid,

879
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:34,359
Speaker 3: finishing top six, top seven. Not quite sure he has

880
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 3: that last little bit to push himself up into regular

881
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 3: podium contention, But my goodness, you couldn't be much closer

882
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 3: than he is. But I don't know about you, but

883
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 3: that race was crazy on Sunday.

884
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 2: Oh for those of you who haven't watched it, honestly,

885
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 2: go back and watch it, because from the start it

886
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 2: was just changing leader changing leader. The battle for the

887
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 2: front group started with like three or four of them,

888
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 2: then it was five, then it was seven of them,

889
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 2: and it was just insane.

890
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 1: Honestly, it is high quality entertainment racing.

891
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 3: I was a little concerned for the commentators. I texted

892
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,919
Speaker 3: Matt Burr immediately afterwards before Moto two started and said,

893
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 3: may are you going to make the rest of the

894
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 3: afternoon because you always didn't make the end of the

895
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 3: race there because he was just hyperventilating so much. But

896
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 3: it wasn't one of those ones where the commentators were

897
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 3: putting any mayonnaise on it. He was absolutely crazy. So

898
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 3: awesome that we've seen and Aussie up the front. And

899
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 3: I still maintain that we will see Joel on a

900
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 3: podium or two before the end of the season. I

901
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 3: think he's been too consistent and too quick not to be.

902
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 3: But my god, what the best race of the year

903
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 3: we've had so far, and the Massano and Moto three

904
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 3: tends to throw these sorts of races up. The best

905
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 3: thing is in two weeks we get another one.

906
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 2: We do get another one, and I think that's pretty

907
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 2: much it for us today. From the Mazzano one edition
