1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 1: Controversy and crashes could be two ways to describe the 2 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:08,159 Speaker 1: Amelia Ramana Grand Prix. And while for some it's a 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,959 Speaker 1: weekend to forget, there's one writer who has everybody in 4 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: Murdo GP talking right now. But I'm your host, Rinita Vmulan, 5 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,439 Speaker 1: and adjoining me is the man who's fast with Emoto 6 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: GP fax than Peggo Vanyaya on his home turf. It's 7 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: the walking Moto GP Encyclopedia himself, Matt Clayton. Matt, I 8 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 1: feel like we just have to start this pod off 9 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: by talking about that last lap barge between Annea Bashanini 10 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: on Joge Martin, social media, news websites. Everyone has just 11 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: divided on their opinion, but I want to know what's 12 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 1: your take on that move? 13 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,959 Speaker 2: Yes, Reneeda, it certainly was the talking point other than 14 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,919 Speaker 2: Banyay crashing out, which I'm sure we'll get to. I'm 15 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 2: not sure being compared to pick Out when he's just 16 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,959 Speaker 2: crashed out of a racist great thing, But we'll come 17 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 2: back to that. But yeah, look, Bashianini and Martin and 18 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 2: the last lap at Massano on Sunday certainly very controversial. 19 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,960 Speaker 2: It certainly enlivened what was a tense but not super 20 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 2: exciting race. But I don't know about you, but the 21 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 2: decision to not even investigate it from the stewards, let 22 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,759 Speaker 2: alone hand down any sort of penalty. The wider thing 23 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 2: for me here is, well, there's six races to go 24 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 2: this season, and if this is considered to be acceptable, 25 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 2: and this is considered to be play on, it kind 26 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 2: of sets out the rules for the last six races, 27 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 2: doesn't it. Because I don't think we'll be having this 28 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 2: conversation for the last time today. I think it's pretty 29 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 2: much set up how these last six races all will go. 30 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 2: And yeah, controversy, I reckon we'll be seeing that where 31 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 2: a capital see plenty of times between now and Valencia. 32 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: Well do you think that they didn't investigate it purely 33 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: because Juee Martin just rolled out of it, you know, 34 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: waved his hands in the air, did everything and then 35 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: rolled back. If he had stayed, I guess on the pace, 36 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: even though he did run off track, do you think 37 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: there might have been a bit more there. 38 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 2: It's interesting, isn't it, Because at the end he rolled 39 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 2: out so much on that final lap that he finished 40 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 2: five seconds behind Bastinini is like five point one or something. 41 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 2: Imagine if the fudor or if Motor GP had said, well, 42 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 2: that's a five second penalty for Bastiditi, so therefore he 43 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 2: ends up winning by like six tenths of a second 44 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 2: or something. But that would have been interesting. 45 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't know. 46 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 2: I'd I like to see races decided, not in the 47 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 2: steward's room. You want them decided on track. But there 48 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 2: seems to be two sets of rules here, and that 49 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,239 Speaker 2: you can kind of do anything on the first lap 50 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 2: of a RaSE, you can kind of do anything on 51 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 2: the last lap of a race. I'm also wondering, say 52 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 2: that incident happens with two laps to go, three laps 53 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 2: to go, ten laps to go, is it adjudicated differently 54 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 2: because it's the final lap of a race and nobody 55 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 2: wants to see a race decided in a steward's room, 56 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 2: and that being the case, does that now change tactically 57 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 2: how you approach trying to win a race in the 58 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 2: last lap, Because if you're second on the last lap 59 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,519 Speaker 2: and it's close, why would you not make a move 60 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 2: like Bastianini made, Because this is good chance that it's 61 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 2: going to be adjudicated differently on the last lap that 62 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 2: it would be any other lab So why not go 63 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 2: for it. There seems to be two separate sets of 64 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 2: rules here. No one wants to see races decided after 65 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 2: the fact with penalties and what have you. But I 66 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 2: can't help but think if this had happened two laps earlier, 67 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 2: ten laps earlier, second lap of the race, whether we're 68 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 2: having a very very different conversation here. But they've now 69 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 2: said a precedent. I hope it doesn't come back to 70 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 2: bite somebody in these last six races, because the last 71 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 2: thing we want to see is a championship decided by 72 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 2: something contentious. We want excitement, We want it to be thrilling, 73 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 2: we want it to be tense. We don't want it 74 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 2: to be decided at the whim of whether the stewards 75 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 2: decide whether it should be penalized or not. 76 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: I completely agree with you. I think for what would 77 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: be maybe classed as a boring race, apart from the 78 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: crashes that will get too shortly, I think that he 79 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: definitely made things a little bit more exciting. But you know, 80 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: if we go back to Aragon, there was that crash 81 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: between Alex Marquez and Pecubaak. It was very dangerous crash 82 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: and obviously Pecker was injured from it. Not what we're after, 83 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: But was there no decision made because there was no 84 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: I guess crash from it. It just seems like in 85 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: the stewards of what goes through their mind sometimes, but 86 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: it almost feels like they play it depending on who's involved. 87 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 3: As well a little bit. 88 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 2: And you know what was super interesting for me is 89 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 2: that I was really interesting to hear what Simon Crayfar 90 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 2: said about this on the coverage on the World Feed, 91 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 2: because of course Simon next year is going to be 92 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 2: Chief Stewards in twenty twenty five, and look like, I 93 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 2: think Simon does a fantastic job. I think he has 94 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 2: had several careers he's done great jobs in and I'm 95 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 2: sure he'll be good in his new role for next year. 96 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 2: But it was interesting he said he only felt the 97 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 2: best you need. He actually ran off the side of 98 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 2: the track because he was looking back to see if 99 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 2: Martine had actually crashed out or on. And the curious 100 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,239 Speaker 2: part to me is, you know, normally if you leave 101 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 2: the track to gain an advantage or to complet to overtake, 102 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 2: then it's going to be a penalty there, But Simon's 103 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 2: basically saying that he only felt that an AA had 104 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 2: run off the track to look back to see if 105 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 2: Martin was off the bike. But he's still off the track. 106 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 2: So we're now going to issue penalties or not based 107 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 2: on someone's intent or we're reading the mind of the 108 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 2: person that's actually done the transgression. That's interesting to me 109 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 2: because look, I'm sure Anaa did look back over his 110 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 2: shoulder to see whether Martin was on the ground or 111 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 2: whether it was right behind him, but in doing so, 112 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 2: he actually ran off the track. So by the letter 113 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 2: of the law, shouldn't that be a penalty. I mean, 114 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 2: there's arguments either way with this, but I just thought 115 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 2: it was interesting to hear Simon's point of view on 116 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 2: this because he's going to be in the position to 117 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 2: make a decision next year. To give Simon some leeway here, 118 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 2: he admitted that he's not one hundred percent on top 119 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 2: of how these things are adjudged, and they look at 120 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 2: different camera angles, and they have much they have many 121 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 2: more tools at their disposal to make a decision than 122 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 2: he does simply looking at a TV picture. But I 123 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 2: thought that was pretty interesting based on what's going to 124 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 2: go forward next year. But as I've said a couple 125 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 2: of times now, I just think think where this sets 126 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 2: us up for these final six races, given that we've 127 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 2: got a championship fight that he's super super close, and 128 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 2: Anaya is not out of the championship fight necessarily, But 129 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 2: I get the feeling that he's going to have much 130 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 2: more of a sayers to who ends up winning this 131 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 2: championship because he's got the bike and he's got the 132 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 2: pace on occasion to really fight with Peco and Martine upfront. 133 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 2: The can of worms this may open by not making 134 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 2: a decision, Yeah, could be super interesting, couldn't it. 135 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 1: Well, some of the writers have been very vocal. One 136 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: who I'm sure Mado GP fans are not surprised who's 137 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: been vocal was Alisha Spargaro had. 138 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 3: His shocking who would have thought? 139 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: Who would have thought Alish would say an opinion? But 140 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: also Mark Marquez said an opinion, and he thinks that 141 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: there should have been a penalty handed to Anaa. There's 142 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 1: been plenty of times Mark Marquez has done something very 143 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: similar in a lot of his races, so I feel 144 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 1: like for him to say that's a little bit like 145 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 1: really color Mark lay. 146 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think yeah. I mean two things here, Aleish. 147 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 2: Alaisha's great for journey, he polarizes fans. He's great as 148 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 2: a jurdo because he always has an opinion on everything 149 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 2: and he's not shy and sharing that. But as soon 150 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 2: as he got involved in deciding who was at fault, 151 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 2: he also have to remember that literally his best friend 152 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 2: in the entire paddock is Orje Martin, and he was 153 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 2: hugely influential in getting Martine to come to Apulia as 154 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 2: his replacement after he retires after all the decade stuff 155 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 2: went down. So Alaisia's not exactly impartial when it comes 156 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 2: to this. And also if there's a decision that errs 157 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 2: on the side of safety or caution, Alaisia's very much 158 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 2: on the let's try and make this safe, which in 159 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 2: some occasions I think is absolutely correct. By the way, 160 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 2: so Alaysia's opinion it was kind of hard to take 161 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 2: massively seriously when it came to this incident. But I 162 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 2: think the thing with Marquez was going back to what 163 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 2: I'd said before, is that Bastiindi had left the track 164 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 2: to complete and overtake, which was interesting, But as you 165 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 2: said before, someone actually described it in the press conference 166 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 2: afterwards that Bastianini had made a Mark Barques move, So 167 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 2: it's almost like named after him because he's made so 168 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 2: many of these on the limit overtakes in the past. 169 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 2: We forget that towards the end of Mark's heyday at 170 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 2: Repsol Honda, he wasn't often in fights for race wins, 171 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 2: unless it was with Fabio Couatrara in twenty nineteen, he 172 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 2: was often so far ahead. 173 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 3: That it didn't matter. 174 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 2: But Mark definitely has form in these sorts of situations. 175 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 2: But again, it got everyone talking, and I think the 176 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 2: key point you made before was it wasn't a massively 177 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 2: interesting race before the last lap, and the tension had 178 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 2: been building, but you knew it was building to this 179 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 2: crescendo that something was going to happen on the last lap. 180 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 2: And it's just as well because it wasn't a super 181 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 2: exciting race up front. But when you have two races 182 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 2: at the same track in a three week period and 183 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 2: there's been a test in between, there's probably not a 184 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 2: heap of variance going on is there up the front. 185 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 2: So it's probably the race that we're always going to get. 186 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 2: At least we've got a good conclusion to have something 187 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:56,319 Speaker 2: to talk about. 188 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: We did, We did, but you mentioned Fabio there and 189 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 1: I thought, let's have a chat about him. Because for 190 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 1: me this weekend, Matt, he was my writer of the weekend, 191 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: made it into Q two, qualified ninth and finished both 192 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: races in seventh. I feel that there's no denying Fabio 193 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: is still is one of the best riders on the grid. 194 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: He's up there. He is a world champion alongside Peco 195 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 1: and Mark and some of the best we've ever had 196 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: him at OGP, But it's so hard when he's not 197 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: on machinery that's allowing him to compete at the front. 198 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: So when we see these small glimpses of a Yamaha, 199 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: it's nice to see that navy Yamaha blue in on 200 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: the TV coverage. I feel like it's exciting and we 201 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: can see that there they're so close to being there. 202 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: But talking about Fabria's ride this weekend, for me, he 203 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: was one of the best writers. 204 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 2: I think he was the star of the weekend. Quite frankly, 205 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 2: when you look at what it is that he's riding, 206 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 2: and the fact that he was basically a one man 207 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 2: team for most of the weekend, because Alex Rides had 208 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 2: to pull out seek he had a bad virus and 209 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 2: he pulled out on Saturday, And because there's only two 210 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 2: Yamahas on the grid, you've got Fabio fighting single handed 211 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 2: again just eight to katis had four ktms and you 212 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 2: know he's plowing this lone furrow for them. But his 213 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 2: weekend was absolutely outstanding. He should have finished fifth in 214 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 2: the Grand Prix on Sunday, but lost with the World 215 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 2: TV feed because we're concentrating on what happened at the front. 216 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 2: He actually ran out of fuel with two quarters to 217 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 2: go on the last lap, so he got to turn 218 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 2: twelve on the last lap and was in fifth place 219 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,599 Speaker 2: and the thing just coughed and basically died for the 220 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 2: last two corners, So he lost nine seconds in the 221 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 2: last sector on the last lap and got overtaken by 222 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 2: Franco Borberdelli and Maverick Vidale. So he ended up finishing seventh. 223 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 2: How do you finished fifth? The four bikes ahead of him, Bashanini, 224 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 2: Martin Marquez and Marco Bozeki who had a rare good 225 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 2: race for him this year. This is the sort of 226 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 2: company that Fabio's keeping on a Yamaha and I think 227 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 2: where it's exciting for Australian fans is that Jack Miller 228 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 2: MP me go to Yabaha at a time where Yabahar 229 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 2: are really starting to climb. But over the course of 230 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 2: the weekend, when you can what he was riding and 231 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 2: the fact that he was doing it by himself, Fabia 232 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 2: was not outside of the top ten in any session 233 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 2: across the weekend, which is not something we've said about 234 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,439 Speaker 2: Yamaha for a while. He was absolutely outstanding and it's 235 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 2: a nice It's just nice, as you said, to see 236 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 2: a different bike in a different manufacturer back up the 237 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 2: front again because it's been so long. We know how 238 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 2: good this guy is if he's given the tools to 239 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 2: work with. And I think it was a really good 240 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 2: sign for Yamaha, a really good sign for him. And 241 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 2: he was you know, you think he would be absolutely 242 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 2: gutted about basically having to roll his bike over the 243 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 2: line after working so hard for thirty five minutes on Sunday, 244 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 2: but he was actually pretty bullish afterwards. He can see 245 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 2: signs of genuine progress with that team. That's not something 246 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 2: he's seen for a while, and it looks like, yeah, 247 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 2: they got a long way to come back but they're 248 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 2: pointing in the right direction, and he's a huge driving 249 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 2: force for that. I don't think he's lost any of 250 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 2: his quality at all. And if they build him a 251 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,719 Speaker 2: half reasonable bike to fight with, we're going to be 252 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 2: seeing and fight for things that are much more important 253 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 2: than fifth or seventh places. Before too long, Well. 254 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: Let's talk about Peko Vannoya this weekend because it's his 255 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: second home Grand Prix, because obviously back to back Mazano 256 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 1: two and coming into this weekend he wasn't injured, he 257 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: was looking strong, testing was good the couple weeks prior. 258 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: So he did take poll this weekend and one Saturday's Sprint, 259 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: Sunday's Grand Prix. It just seemed like the whole weekend, 260 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,079 Speaker 1: I guess completely did a one eighty and turned around 261 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: from him, Matt, Did he have issues with the ties 262 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: in the end? Is that why he dropped so far 263 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: off in the pace before he started to pick things 264 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:40,839 Speaker 1: back up. 265 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what he was saying. Afterwards. 266 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 2: He was blaming Michelum without blaming Michelin, which is something 267 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 2: that a lot of writers do when things go awry. 268 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,839 Speaker 2: But it was such a weird set of circumstances because 269 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 2: he got to the first corner and led the first 270 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 2: couple of laps, relinquished the lead to Martine, is like, 271 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 2: all right, well that happened in the sprint as well, 272 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 2: before he came back and picked him off, took that win, 273 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 2: and then for about ten laps he was basically nowhere, 274 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 2: and that he was so far back he was out 275 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 2: of the TV shot at the front with Martine and Bastianini. 276 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 2: It was a three and a half second deficit to 277 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 2: the front at some point, and then it was almost 278 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 2: like that rear tire started to work for him and 279 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 2: he just came forward so fast he set the lap 280 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 2: record and then broke it again on the following lap. 281 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,319 Speaker 2: He got to lap twenty one, the gaps just beneath 282 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 2: two seconds, and you're going, oh boy, of these top three, 283 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:28,839 Speaker 2: he's clearly the fastest guy. 284 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 3: It looks like we're going to have a three way fight. 285 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 2: And then dropped the front going into turn eight and 286 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 2: crashed out on lap twenty one, which was just one 287 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 2: of those I think he said he had thirty five 288 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 2: degrees of lean angle, which is not very much on 289 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 2: a motor GP bike. Let's be perfectly honest, and the 290 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 2: thing just threw him off and definitely pointing a tire 291 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 2: issues for the reason that he DNF there. But what's 292 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 2: so interesting, and you mentioned this a couple of podcasts ago, 293 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 2: it's kind of the derated number of the season for me. 294 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 2: It's got seven DNFs now out of the two twenty 295 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 2: eight starts. And we're coming off this season last year 296 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 2: where it felt that Joge Martin threw the championship away 297 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 2: by crashing from the lead and making wrong tire choices 298 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 2: at Philip Island and so on and so forth. Peko 299 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 2: was always the steady hand and he would just always 300 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 2: be there week after week. Jejgey Martin has three d 301 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 2: nfs this season and Pecko has seven, and that you 302 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 2: could basically say is the World Championship deficit right there, 303 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 2: because on his day, Pecko's still the fastest guy in 304 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 2: the field. He's won seven races this year ready, which 305 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 2: matches the number that he won in twenty two and 306 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 2: twenty three when he won the championship. How is he 307 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 2: twenty four points behind is because he keeps not finishing 308 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 2: from positions of advantage. So you know, all year, I 309 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 2: think we've thought, oh, well, he's got time, he's got 310 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 2: time he can overcome this deficit. 311 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 3: We're starting to run. 312 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 2: Out of time, and you know, clawing back twenty four 313 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 2: points on a rider that's become as consistent as Martin 314 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 2: has become this season, even as good as Banyyi is, 315 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 2: this is going to be hard now. And that's not 316 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 2: a sentence that I thought that I was going to say, 317 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 2: because I always had the most trust that he would 318 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 2: come through. We've got six race weekends left, and it's 319 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 2: not a situation where he can only afford one more 320 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 2: slip up and he's in massive trouble. But we're fast 321 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 2: approaching that because he can't afford to throw any more 322 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 2: results away. But it tires or crashes or lack of 323 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 2: concentration or whatever it is. He's not quite on a 324 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 2: knife edge. But if we're having this conversation in one 325 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 2: or two races time, then he's in some trouble. 326 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 3: I think, I. 327 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: Think you just said lack of concentration. Then I just 328 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: took my mind back to the sprint. So I'm going 329 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: to just diverge there really quickly. Because Joege Martin said 330 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: that he had a lack of concentration when he got 331 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: that long lap penalty in the sprint which made him 332 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: finish second. But then to go back to what you're 333 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: saying is consistency is key, and this is what I 334 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: think we're seeing with Jje Martinez. He's finished second in 335 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: both races this weekend. There was a run there I 336 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: think it was Asen, it was Germany, maybe a Silverstone 337 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: where he was second, second, second, second the whole way through. 338 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: And it just goes to show also that you don't 339 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: necessarily have to be winning all the time, but if 340 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: you are consistent, you're up the front, pushing through, then 341 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: that could be what doesn't make that champion. But sorry, 342 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: I've completely gone to two different lines there. 343 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 2: Well no, Well, here's a slight trivia quiz for you, 344 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 2: because you'll struggle to remember it. When was the last 345 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 2: time Juage Martine won a Grand Prix Off the top 346 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 2: of your head. 347 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: Something I want to say, lemon, but am I? 348 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 2: Yes, you are absolutely correct. That's nine Grand Prix a 349 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 2: goo for those of us still counting, and that was 350 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 2: round five. 351 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 3: It was May. 352 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 2: It was before winter here in Australia, so it's been 353 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 2: that long since he won on a Sunday. But he's 354 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 2: just so consistent and so there's been nine Sunday Grand 355 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 2: Prix since he's been on the podium, been seven of them. 356 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 2: So it shows you that consistency is the way to 357 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 2: build a championship lead. It's just the most pivotal thing 358 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 2: for Jorge right now because no, he's not winning, but 359 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 2: he's always there. And look, he's got this twenty four 360 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 2: point lead. That's even factoring in the fact that he 361 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 2: crashed with two laps to go in Germany and threw 362 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 2: away a win there. Even with all of that, he 363 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 2: still has a handy lead in the championship. What's absolutely 364 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 2: bizarre to be is you remember last week's podcast, we're 365 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 2: talking about, oh, how could he make a bike swap 366 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 2: when it wasn't raining and it was a disaster and 367 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 2: he was lapped and he was fifteenth. You look at 368 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 2: the two races in Messano, he actually gained one point 369 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 2: of Badya across two weekends because bad E's DNF last Sunday. 370 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 2: Is that's so funny how we look at these things. 371 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,919 Speaker 2: We thought the world was falling it after he made that, 372 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 2: you know, had the brain fart in the first Mesado 373 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 2: and pitted for a wet weather bike when it wasn't 374 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 2: raining and He's actually come out of two rounds at 375 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 2: Mesado with a one point advantage over Peca. 376 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 3: It's hilarious. 377 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:36,360 Speaker 1: I just want to touch again on his lack of concentration, 378 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: I guess with those long lap penalties. 379 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, purely on. 380 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: The fact that you know, in the test the Monday 381 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 1: after Mazzano one, they were testing this communication thing. There's 382 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 1: ship to shore, and I thought, imagine if they did 383 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: have this ship to shore and he's losing concentration over 384 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 1: a message that comes up on his dash. Imagine someone 385 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 1: in your ear being, hey, you've got a long lap penalty. 386 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 1: You just need to like go down a little bit, 387 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: bro or something. 388 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. 389 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: Yeah. 390 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 2: And also, you know, I look at how busy these 391 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 2: guys are hanging off the side of bikes, you know, 392 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 2: going through like cavoning at Messana and have all these 393 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 2: other fast corners. When's the right time to speak to 394 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 2: a rider. The right time to speak to a rider 395 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 2: if we're going to go down this path is clearly 396 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,640 Speaker 2: on the straight. But where are the bikes at They're 397 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 2: loudest at their loudest on a straight when they're completely 398 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 2: gassed up, and the rider will be lucky to hear 399 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,360 Speaker 2: them anyway, So you'll be breaking into turn one and say, 400 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 2: can you say that again? You're breaking up. It's like 401 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 2: you've got a dodgy mobile or reception or something. And 402 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 2: then someone will be telling you that you've got a 403 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 2: long lap penalty as you tip the bike into turn 404 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 2: one and you get distracted then run off or fall 405 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 2: off or something. So there's definitely a It's definitely another 406 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 2: story to happen there with the radios because it's different 407 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 2: when you're driving a car, and we see it with 408 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 2: Formula one and supercars. It's a much more controlled environment 409 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 2: because the driver's body is not getting thrown around and 410 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 2: it's not so physical, whereas on a bike, I'm not sure. 411 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 2: I mean there's bad times and worse times to talk 412 00:18:58,960 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 2: to a rider on a bike. 413 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 3: When do you do it? 414 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 2: And then when do you communicate information like that? So, yeah, 415 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 2: if he's getting distracted by a message on his dash, 416 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 2: imagine if that was someone in his ear telling you 417 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 2: that he had a track limits penalty. What that would do. 418 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 2: So yeah, watch this space on that one because that's 419 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 2: going to be one of the biggest impediments to getting 420 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 2: this cross the line because the riders are going to say, well, sure, 421 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 2: but when would you like to tell us this information? 422 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 2: And how distracting is it going to be? 423 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, exactly. That's why I just thought, if he's 424 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: getting distracted by a little message on his dash, that's 425 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: going to be yes when someone's in his ear. But Matt, 426 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: we can't talk about MONOGP and not talk about Mark Marquez, 427 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: And for me, it kind of felt like a little 428 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: bit deja voo this weekend because of the qualifying crash 429 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: again where he was. I think this is the start 430 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: of the third row this weekend. So the question that 431 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 1: I want to post to you is because we are 432 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: starting to see a little bit more of a difference 433 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 1: between the GP twenty threes and the twenty fours, do 434 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: you think if Mark did qualify on the first one 435 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 1: to two rows, would he have been fighting for that 436 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 1: podium and like actually fighting there with Jorge and AA 437 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: and Peco. 438 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,439 Speaker 3: I still don't think so. 439 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 2: I think, going back to what we were saying before 440 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 2: about having two races at the same track in a 441 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 2: three week period, everyone kind of knew where their level 442 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 2: was and so there was less gray area where someone 443 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 2: like Marquez could make a difference, and the whole weekend. 444 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 2: He was basically saying, I'm targeting fourth place. He wants 445 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 2: to be ahead of everybody else, and he doesn't think 446 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,879 Speaker 2: he's going to have anything for the top three guys, 447 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 2: And that was pretty much how his race was panning out. 448 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 2: A Costra had fallen off, so that was someone that 449 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 2: was out of his way, and he basically inherited the 450 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 2: podium when Banyaya fell off with seven laps to go. 451 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 2: But I don't think there was anything else more on 452 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 2: offer for him. There there was nothing random about the 453 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 2: weekend in there. It didn't rain, we didn't have a 454 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 2: crazy slippery track surface, we didn't have a flag to flag. 455 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 2: There was no outlier variable where if you give Mark 456 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 2: you an inch to capitalize on something random going on. 457 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 2: He's right there. There was a lack of randomness about 458 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 2: the whole weekend, even more so because it was the 459 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 2: second race at the same track in three weeks, so 460 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 2: it was an inherited podium. I don't think he was 461 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,439 Speaker 2: ever expecting any more than that. I think once you 462 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 2: get out on the flyways, where there's more variables could rain, 463 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,400 Speaker 2: people have got less darted with these circuits going through 464 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 2: Indonesia and Malaysia and Thailand and Australia than they normally do. 465 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 2: There'll be more chances for him to make a difference 466 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 2: in those, and yeah, he's on an inferior bike to 467 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,360 Speaker 2: the twenty four, but I think the twenty fours advantages 468 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 2: because there's much more unknowns going into five of these 469 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 2: last six rounds, that mitigates the advantage a little bit. 470 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 2: So it was a muted podium. It was a decent podium. 471 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 2: Someone had to be there to sweep up the crumbs 472 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 2: when Banyai chucked it down the road, But I don't 473 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 2: think there was anything else more on off of than that. 474 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: I think if not interesting this weekend because it wasn't 475 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: so VR forty six Valentino Rossi dominated compared to Mazano one, 476 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: where we had Morbidelli and the Zeki qualifying on the 477 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: front row. Morbidelli was on the sprint podium in Mazano one. 478 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: It felt this weekend, especially with all that Valentino drama 479 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 1: that we touched on in the last part as well, 480 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 1: it felt it was very not Valentino Rossi driven this weekend. 481 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, completely, and I think that's where having that second 482 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 2: race in three weeks the natural advantage that of our 483 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 2: forty six guys have from lapping Pisano blindfolded when everyone 484 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 2: else had been there two weeks previously and got their 485 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 2: eye in. I think the advantage of your Morbidelli's in 486 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 2: your Bizekis, who did have a very good race, actually 487 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 2: because he roll the dice on a software attire. But 488 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 2: I think the advantage of those guys who lapped that 489 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 2: circuit a million times over was negated a little bit 490 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 2: because everyone had their eye in, it had been two 491 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 2: weeks since they've been there, not twelve months. That probably 492 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 2: took away some of the advantage there. But I don't 493 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 2: think I saw Valentino on the coverage on Sunday, which 494 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,479 Speaker 2: is astonishing, But looking at some of the grand stands there, 495 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 2: I think the crowd was roughly half what it was 496 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,679 Speaker 2: for the San Marino GP two weeks before. So not 497 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 2: only was Valentino not there, I don't think many other 498 00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 2: people were either. 499 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:06,640 Speaker 1: I heard on another podcast that the championship the what's 500 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: the word I'm looking for? The people who run the event, 501 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:13,199 Speaker 1: they initiative to people who came to Mazzano. One was 502 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 1: if you want to come back from Mazzano two or 503 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 1: give you get you tickets or basically half price, and 504 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 1: I thought that was really good considering that we touched 505 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: on in the earlier pod. Mizzano Uh sorry, well, Ciperwikes 506 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: was on in Kromona, which is as far as I'm aware, just. 507 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 3: Up the road sort of yeah, people could. 508 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: Go to that, and Formula one was on in Singapore two, 509 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: so there was a lot of motorsport happening on that weekend. 510 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: So I think to have about half the crowd that 511 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 1: they did have at Mazzano one was good, I would say. 512 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 1: Considering the same track, we kind of knew what was 513 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: going to happen. We knew Peko and wait, we're gonna 514 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,679 Speaker 1: be strong, So I think from that side of it, 515 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: things were good. But I just want to touch on 516 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 1: as well. Heading into the weekend, Moto GP announced that 517 00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:01,239 Speaker 1: they are racing in Hungary from twenty five. They're going 518 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: to be going to Balloton Park, so I'm excited. It's 519 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: a new track somewhere where a lot of the writers 520 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: haven't been before, so I think it's going to be 521 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:10,439 Speaker 1: interesting next season. 522 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 2: A new track's always great. I always like a new 523 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 2: circuit coming onto the calendar. I even like it more 524 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,159 Speaker 2: when we actually go there, because this year we've had 525 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 2: a couple of false starts with some of the others, 526 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 2: and obviously India was on the schedule last year and 527 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 2: they're not coming back on till twenty five. So I 528 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 2: like the fact that there's the potential to have a 529 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,719 Speaker 2: Hungarian Grand Prix. We've had a few false starts on 530 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 2: Hungarian Grand Prix over the years. So once we're on 531 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 2: the ground and doing laps of Balloton Park, once Superbikes 532 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 2: has been there about a month before next year, then 533 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 2: I will share your excitement. But I'm putting an asterisk 534 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 2: on my excitement at the moment because I love all 535 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 2: these new tracks, but it's even better when we actually 536 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 2: turn up to them, isn't it. 537 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,919 Speaker 1: I just want the Kazakhslan crandfrie to happen because I 538 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: just want all the Borat memes to come out. 539 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 3: Oh my god, my Kazaks. 540 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 2: Everyone's already saved those up. They've just had to on 541 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,439 Speaker 2: the Black Burder. But I always think of all these 542 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 2: other races that get announced. It happened like the Finish 543 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 2: Scrand Prix at the Kimmi Ring, which was one of 544 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 2: those ones that was always on the calendar, and then 545 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 2: it kept coming off the whole time. So yeah, we'll 546 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 2: believe it when we see it. But you know what's 547 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 2: strange is that, you know, here we are in the 548 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 2: end of September, we still don't have a calendar for 549 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 2: next year yet, which is super late. Maybe they're a 550 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 2: little bit bitten by the fact that we've had a 551 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 2: few cancelations this year, and you're talking about Massano before. 552 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 2: The Sunday crowd was pretty decent. The rest of the 553 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 2: weekend looked like a test session for the most part, 554 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 2: because let's face it, the only reason we were at 555 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 2: Massano for a second race is to get the calendar 556 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 2: to twenty races, so to fulfill all the broadcast contracts. 557 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 2: I think Moto GP tried to be anywhere else but 558 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 2: Massado for a second weekend and ended up going back there, 559 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 2: which had a few people saying, oh, it's a huge 560 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 2: advantage for Vanyaira and all the VR forty six guys, 561 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 2: which didn't actually turn out that way in the end. 562 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 2: But yeah, I like a new race, but yeah, let's 563 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 2: get there. 564 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: First, we have to talk about Moto two, because oh 565 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 1: my god, that was exactly this is why we have 566 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: to talk about Moto iiO. First of all, we've got 567 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 1: to talk about Senna our Aussie strong top ten finish 568 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 1: for him. He was P seven, I believe, So I 569 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: think that's good. It's another Tanni meter into Q two 570 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: as well. So that consistency, like we're talking about the 571 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: wohem Martine, is the same thing for sennas is his 572 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 1: rookie year. He can keep learning, keep growing, and then 573 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,199 Speaker 1: next year he's going to have all these circuits, all 574 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: that experience under his belt. I think he's going to 575 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 1: go in strong next year. 576 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 2: Couldn't agree more. He was just really accomplished the entire weekend, 577 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 2: and behind the scenes he was not feeling particularly well 578 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 2: most of the weekend as well. So super impressive with 579 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 2: what he did. And he just looks more legit now 580 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 2: when you see him in that top ten, Like you 581 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 2: see his name in that top ten amongst all of 582 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 2: these really experienced Motor two guys now and you're like, 583 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 2: all right, Senner's doing well here for a guy in 584 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,640 Speaker 2: hiss rookie World Championship season. But it looks accomplished and assured, 585 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 2: and he wrote a really really strong race, got inside 586 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,920 Speaker 2: the top ten early never really looked like falling out 587 00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 2: of it. Just another boxer tick for him. Steenth in 588 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 2: the World Championship now, but he's been good in the 589 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 2: back half of the season particularly, But we're talking about 590 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 2: it before the end of that Motor two race. My 591 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 2: memory's fading, but I can't think of a better last 592 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,439 Speaker 2: lap of a Moto two race for a while, because 593 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 2: when can you say you've watched Motor two race and 594 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 2: the lead changes hands three times in the last three quarters. 595 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 2: It was absolutely ridiculous, fantastic TV. And a lot of 596 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 2: people have watched that category for a long time have 597 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 2: said they can't think of a better Motor two race 598 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 2: because that's often the one that can be a little 599 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 2: bit spread out and a little bit dull of the three. 600 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 2: It was the best race of the weekend. 601 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,679 Speaker 1: I think if you haven't watched it, honestly, go and 602 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: watch it to not spoil it for you. But Tony Abellino, 603 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 1: he runs wide, then Aaron Kennett basically jumps on and 604 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,479 Speaker 1: takes the lead until Vietti gets a slip off that 605 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 1: last corner and those two Kennet Nbeti are drag racing 606 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 1: to the finish line. It is oh I wouldn't be 607 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,080 Speaker 1: able to tell you that. It was literally like there 608 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 1: the smallest gap in front that Viti one by you 609 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: could just see. Afterwards the celebration Canette was like damn, 610 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,919 Speaker 1: like I was so close, but oh what a final 611 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 1: three corners. 612 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 2: Fantastic TV. And then they cut to the shot of 613 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,719 Speaker 2: Fabio Cross on the pit wall because Simontoni Abillino are 614 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,439 Speaker 2: good mates and I was so close to getting his 615 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 2: first wind of the year and it's not been a 616 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,439 Speaker 2: fantastic year for him in the intermediate class, so to 617 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 2: lose it at home with three corners to go, but 618 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 2: Aaron Kennett, my goodness, and we know the guy's finally 619 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 2: won a Moto TiO race, but he must be I 620 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:35,360 Speaker 2: think even know if he wants to keep his second 621 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 2: place trophies. At this point he's probably thoroughly sick of 622 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 2: the side of them because he's got about seventeen of them. 623 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 2: But yeah, just what a last lap that was fantastic. 624 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: Also, Moto three, that last lap battle was just insane. 625 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: Alonzo Paceras Hogado and Colin Vaya just changing the hands 626 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 1: one after the other, and it's so good to see 627 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: that these lower classes, the battles are intense, it's so entertaining. 628 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 2: The well a Motor three this year is the most 629 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 2: uneven of the three series because David Alonso is going 630 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 2: to win this championship before anyone else wins Motor two 631 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 2: or Motor GP. But even with the huge advantage that 632 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 2: he's got, there's two things. One, he's a showman. If 633 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 2: you haven't seen it on social media yet, go and 634 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 2: have a look at his Uni cycle celebration on Sunday 635 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 2: after the race. He's better at riding a Moto three 636 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,959 Speaker 2: bike that he is riding a unicycle as a crashed 637 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 2: rider rider okay in the gravel trap afterwards, which was hilarious, 638 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 2: But I reckon Moto three is in a really good 639 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 2: spot at the moment because there's some guys that you 640 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 2: look at that are coming through and jack up. We 641 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 2: mentioned this in a story we've done for Fox Sports 642 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 2: a few weeks ago. There's three or four guys in 643 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 2: that series right now that you can absolutely see being 644 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 2: a Motor GP in a couple of years time, and 645 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 2: not just making up the numbers, like Alonso is kind 646 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 2: of seen as the next Acosta, who is the next 647 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 2: Marquez in that series he's doing things in Moto three 648 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 2: we've never seen before. Colin Faire looks like a motor 649 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 2: GP rider in waiting. To me, he's got every physical 650 00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 2: tool in the kit to go up to the PREMI 651 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 2: your class in the future, So exciting times in there. 652 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 2: And the one you didn't mention, of course, in that 653 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 2: mix for the podium as he seems to be all 654 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 2: the time at the moment, is Australias Joel kel so 655 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 2: I finished seventh, but four and a half seconds off 656 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 2: the win, so he was closer the previous time. But 657 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 2: five top tens in a row for Joel, just quietly 658 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 2: and up to eighth in the World Championship. He's looking 659 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 2: really good, isn't. 660 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 1: He same thing what we're talking about with Senna? Right 661 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 1: for these boys. Obviously Joel's been in the World Championship 662 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: now for a few more years. But it's that consistency 663 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 1: that's what you need, that's what's going to help you 664 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 1: keep progressing. He's obviously got his right sorted for next year, 665 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 1: so there's no dramas there, but we're signing to see. 666 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's that level of maturity, that 667 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 1: next step from him where he is improving with those 668 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: top tens. Could we possibly see him in Moto two 669 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 1: the year after or maybe even following Jack Miller's footsteps 670 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 1: and do that big leap into Moto GP. 671 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 3: Well, that would be a big bridge for Joel. 672 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 2: The thing for Moto three as you see a lot 673 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 2: of these guys come through these teenagers and they get 674 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 2: too big for the bike. They almost look comically big 675 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 2: for the Motor three bike, and you can see like 676 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 2: Altola is a bigger guy, and there's a couple of 677 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 2: guys that are in that category. Joel's going to be 678 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 2: a Motor three size rider for the entirety of Joel's career, 679 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 2: whether he's in MOOTO three or not. So he's definitely 680 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 2: in the right place at the moment. But look really 681 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 2: moving forward, And while we're talking Ozzi's in Moto three, Nita, 682 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 2: we should probably talk about Jacob Rolson as well, because 683 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 2: a couple of seriously big crashes for him on Friday 684 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 2: and twenty first in the race and got an absolute 685 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 2: rocket from Herve Pontreal afterwards. I'm not sure whether you 686 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 2: saw this, but I actually circled this to read to 687 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 2: you today. So Herve Pontreal after the race, said his 688 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 2: level is dropping, probably because of weekly stupid mistakes. Jacob 689 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 2: is a rookie, so he's making rookie mistakes. But we 690 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 2: clearly need to regroup and improve on that point because 691 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 2: he is not where he should be. So it's all 692 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 2: been super positive from Herve so far this year, but 693 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,719 Speaker 2: maybe those two crashes on Friday, Herve's patients ran out 694 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 2: a little bit. We know that Sacob's going to be 695 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 2: there next year, so he doesn't worry about next year, 696 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 2: but hasn't had a great result for a while. It's 697 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,719 Speaker 2: just had two points finishes in the last six rounds, 698 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 2: so it's definitely gone a bit downhill for him. But 699 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 2: those two accidents on Friday, he looked very sore and 700 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 2: sorry for himself, didn't he. 701 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: Do you think that maybe there's like a bit of 702 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 1: pressure getting to Jacob because it's the first year. I 703 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: know he was trying to go for a Rookie of 704 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 1: the year, maybe to prove a point because he is 705 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 1: in such a well established known Moto three team. Is 706 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: there a bit of pressure sitting on his shoulders at 707 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: the moment. 708 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. 709 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 2: I mean it's interesting that he got his twenty twenty 710 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 2: five deals sorted super early. He's actually had the kind 711 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 2: of season that I thought he might as a rookie 712 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 2: in the World Championship, but in reverse, if that makes sense, 713 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 2: and that I thought he might struggle to get out 714 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:48,480 Speaker 2: of the gate and have a few crashes and beat 715 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 2: himself up while he was finding the level and then 716 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 2: come on stronger as the season goes. He's actually done 717 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 2: it the other way around, and that he was so 718 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 2: good early that it probably raised the expectations a little bit. 719 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,080 Speaker 2: And so what he's doing now maybe was how he 720 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 2: would have started a rookie season in some instances. So 721 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 2: on balance, he's probably a little bit behind where he'd 722 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 2: like to be, but not super far. But I think 723 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 2: Montreal's comment is we've seen that he's better than this 724 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 2: because he's already demonstrated it, and least things snowball, you know, 725 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 2: positive or negative momentum. He's just in a bit of 726 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 2: a rut at the moment. So to get out of Europe, 727 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 2: to get to some of the flyaways and you start 728 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 2: afresh with tracks that not everyone has great familiarity with 729 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 2: might be a good thing for him. I sense it 730 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 2: just needs one result. But on Friday at Messano last week, 731 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 2: he just beat himself up so badly with those two 732 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 2: crashes at the rest of the weekend was a bit 733 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 2: of a write off. Having a back to back with 734 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 2: Indonesia this weekend is tough for him, but I think 735 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 2: he will just be He just needs that one result, 736 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,479 Speaker 2: steady the ship a little bit and we'll see him 737 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 2: back where he was in the first half. 738 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 3: Of the year. 739 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 1: Well, yes, you did mention there that MotoGP heads to 740 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 1: Indonesia and lucky for us it is in our time zone. Finally, 741 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 1: cannot wait for that. Moto GP have six races in 742 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: the next seven or eight weeks, so it's a lot 743 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: of on track action that you're going to find and 744 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:06,480 Speaker 1: we're going to keep you up to date with all 745 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 1: the news as best as we can.
