1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: Balaton Park served up a full smallgus board this weekend

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: with sweet moments, sour shocks, and a few results that.

3
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 2: Is going to take a while to digest.

4
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: But the big question simmering after the Hungarian Grand Prix

5
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 1: should this track stay on the Motor GP calendar or

6
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: is it simply too dangerous to be served up again.

7
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 1: Pittalk is brought to you by Shannon's Insurance. I'm your

8
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: hostess with the mosts or Ronita Vmulin and joining me

9
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: at the table to chew it all over is my

10
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: co host Mac Clayton. Matt, I know you've got a

11
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: few strong flavors of your own regarding the Balaton Park circuit.

12
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, look really good to join. You've made hungry

13
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 3: through the intro, which is pretty standard, so I need

14
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 3: to bring snacks to the podcast record or something that's

15
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 3: on me. But don't get me wrong, I love new

16
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 3: tracks on calendar. New tracks are cool. It's great to

17
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 3: go to different places, see different layouts, and you know,

18
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 3: it's nice to look at a track and not be

19
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 3: immediately familiar with what corner they're in and where they're

20
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 3: going and what the configuration is. That's all fine. New

21
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 3: tracks yes, this particular new track. I just there were

22
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 3: a couple of things in the layout that I reckon

23
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 3: that Motor GP might have got away with in terms

24
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 3: of major accidents or injuries. I don't know about you, but,

25
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 3: and I'm sure we'll get to this, but when an

26
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 3: Aa Bashyneni's sliding through the middle of a chicane with

27
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 3: the entire pack behind him on the first lap, I

28
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 3: actually physically stood back from the screen, just bracing myself

29
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 3: for the impacts. I thought he was incredibly lucky to

30
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 3: get away with that, and lucky seemed to be a

31
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 3: bit of a word of the weekend. You think of

32
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 3: Pedro Acosta's bike going over the fence and hitting a

33
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 3: camera operator and everyone was fine after that. It's just

34
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 3: the type of layout that lends itself to pretty sketchy

35
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 3: incidents if things go wrong. It's a car racing track,

36
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 3: let's be honest. The ramifications of things going wrong in

37
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 3: a car are far less on that particular circuit with

38
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 3: the layout. So I feel that motor GP got away

39
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 3: with one the track itself. It's nice to go to

40
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 3: new places. It wasn't the most inspiring layout of all time.

41
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 3: It was fine in a Vacuum. You know, I like

42
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 3: the fact we've got different styles and different requirements of tracks,

43
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 3: but it didn't strike me as being a classic in

44
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 3: the way that when we went to India for that

45
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 3: one year in twenty twenty three, obviously I knew that

46
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 3: track pretty well from the Formula one Days. It's a

47
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 3: shame from a racing point of view that track didn't

48
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 3: work out, because it's actuallyretty interesting. It's an interesting track there.

49
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 3: We know that some logistics things and a few unpaid

50
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 3: invoices put paid to that particular event. So it looks

51
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 3: like we're going to keep going back to Hungary, but

52
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 3: not sure. That's one of those ones that everyone's going

53
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 3: to be looking forward to massively, and I'm kind of

54
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 3: glad we got away with it.

55
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems like a lot of the info that

56
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: was coming from the balt On Park Circle this weekend

57
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: was a mixed bag. Some writers are going, this is

58
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: a go kart track, this is so dangerous, and others

59
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: are saying, you know what, I actually enjoyed it. It

60
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: seems like it was just one person would say something,

61
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: someone else would say something else. But I think, like,

62
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: let's talk about Anne is crash during the race, because

63
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: same thing for me. I know you said you step back.

64
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: I was sitting on the sofa and the gasp. Normally

65
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: I watched these races and go, oh, well that was

66
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: close or what. But to see that, to also think

67
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: about the fact of Luca Marini having that split nanosecond

68
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: to Missanaia as well.

69
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 2: You can see him try and go around.

70
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: It could have been two writers here that could have

71
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: it could have ended so badly. So yeah, and Nyas

72
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,399
Speaker 1: sliding through everyone and you could just see his head turning, going.

73
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: What the actual is happening?

74
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: But Luca Marini also just getting caught up in it

75
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: and having to figure.

76
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 2: That out as well.

77
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

78
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 3: I mean, you've got the immediate guys behind Bastian and

79
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 3: you having to pick whether they're going to go inside

80
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 3: or outside of a moving target as it's sliding across

81
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 3: the track. And then of course every reaction that someone

82
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 3: like Marini makes service behind him has to make an

83
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 3: opposite reaction, and so on and so forth. So it's

84
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 3: testament to the incredible skill of these guys to be

85
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 3: able to identify the way through and not clean him up.

86
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 3: A massive amount of luck involved. Let's not be honest,

87
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 3: but the thing you just mentioned then about as soon

88
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 3: as he fell back, his first movement was to turn

89
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 3: to his left to see what was coming. And as

90
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 3: much as he had the helmet on and the visor down,

91
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 3: you can imagine the panic in his eyes. He's made

92
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 3: the mistake, that's one thing, But you're in pure survival

93
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 3: mode at that point and you are almost bracing yourself

94
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 3: via the impact. I don't think I've been that shocked

95
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 3: about someone sliding on the track or being prone across

96
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 3: the track. You remember the accident that Banya had at

97
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 3: Casalouniar a couple of years ago, where he was he

98
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 3: high sighted right in front of the pack and they

99
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 3: all scattered and then broke bid to hit him as

100
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 3: he was coming through at the back. We're pretty lucky

101
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 3: that day, but yeah, the absolute fear and bast in

102
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 3: his eyes you can only imagine. So I just don't

103
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 3: think tight chicanes on bike tracks. It just shouldn't happen.

104
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 3: It doesn't work. There's too many of them in the

105
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 3: lap to try and break the lap up. And you know,

106
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 3: look there's different configurations of that track. Maybe we take

107
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 3: one of the chicaines out. I don't know, but it's

108
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 3: an imperfect solution to an imperfect circuit. But yeah, we

109
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 3: got away with it and we had I've got to

110
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 3: say I feared it was going to be a bit

111
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 3: of a you know, sort of Indian vile race, no

112
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 3: one really doing much. It was actually a lot more

113
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 3: interesting on Sunday than I was expecting it to be

114
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 3: to a point. And the other point was that the

115
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 3: Motor three and Motor two races were both fantastic at

116
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 3: that track, particularly Moto two was just absolutely awesome. So

117
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 3: there must be something about that particular track and maybe

118
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 3: bikes without all the arrow and all of the various

119
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 3: bits on that motor g he has that makes them

120
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 3: better for racing. But yeah, I'm kind of glad we're

121
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 3: not going to a similar circuit next time.

122
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: No, I think you hit the nail on the head.

123
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: And that's something I was gonna talk about, was the

124
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: fact that Motor three, Motor two, the racing was a

125
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: phenomenal dam at Alonzo that last lap, Wow, I was

126
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: on the edge of my seat. But I think because

127
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: the rider is saying it's like a go cut track, yeah,

128
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: I feel like it is designed for the smaller bikes

129
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: without their arrow without all this extra stuff on there

130
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: that the riders are actually having to push themselves or

131
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: find the overtaking points, because it kind of seems like

132
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: this weekend there's really only a couple overtaking points and

133
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: that was it, and it wasn't even down the street.

134
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: It seems like that that's start finish street because so

135
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: shut there wasn't even enough time to get slipstream or anything.

136
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: And then the bigger bikes, right, So yeah, I do

137
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: agree for the lower classes.

138
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 2: One hundred percent.

139
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: It was fantastic racing, but then you get to Moto

140
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: GP and I hate saying it, but it's it's the

141
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: Marcus Show and we knew that was going to happen.

142
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: But the thing is that surprised me this weekend. We

143
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: had the two VR forty six's on the podium on

144
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: Saturday Sprint, but then Sunday's race, once again it was

145
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: Marco Bedzeki, who seems to be the only other writer

146
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: who's really pushing Mark for a majority of the race.

147
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 1: We know Aldegaez got that late race pace, we know

148
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: Joge Martin, which we'll get onto, but Marco Bedzeki Mark

149
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: and make the room. Marco was straight back that he

150
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: was giving it everything this weekend.

151
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know what's so interesting in this conversation,

152
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 3: this is something that's on the to do list between

153
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 3: now and Cattalourn. You know, I need to bury myself

154
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 3: and do a bit of a deep dive on this.

155
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 3: Do you remember at the beginning of the season where

156
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 3: we used to talk about the Jacaddi Cup and it

157
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 3: was which dacadis finishing first, second, and third the sixth

158
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 3: best Ducatti is probably finishing sixth or seventh in the

159
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 3: Grand Prix. As this season has developed, we're noticing at

160
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 3: the moment Aprilia has been really good from probably Silveston onwards.

161
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 3: And yes, Mark has won all these races in a

162
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 3: row now, but as at a Prillier, that's providing the

163
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 3: biggest challenge. You think of Asen, you think of last week,

164
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 3: and you think of Austria, so Bdzeki's been really good

165
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 3: there and we'll get to Juge Martin. Don't worry, we

166
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 3: must talk about him in this podcast. But Kasey m

167
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 3: has been really good now for the last three Grand Prix.

168
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 3: Costa was on the podium at Bruno first run of

169
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 3: the year, equal his career best result. We'd second on Sunday,

170
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 3: So isn't it interesting? You know, Honda are doing really well,

171
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 3: you know, more recently, So yes, Mark is still making

172
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 3: the difference on a Ducati, but it's not a Ducati

173
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 3: benefit now, and we're seeing the struggles that the other

174
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 3: five guys are having. Aldegero will be fantastic one weekend,

175
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 3: Anonymous the next weekend. The Banyaya story. There's a stat

176
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 3: that I'm going to throw at you later that I

177
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 3: knew it to be true, but I looked at it

178
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 3: and went, oh my god, this is how bad this

179
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 3: really is. It's so interesting now that we've got a

180
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 3: lot of their manufacturers unfortunately not Yamaha, but fighting for

181
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 3: meaningful prizes.

182
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 4: And the thing I read.

183
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 3: After Sunday we had four manufacturers in the first five

184
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 3: finishes on Sunday, first time that's happened for over two years.

185
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 3: So it does show you that, yes, Jucady is going

186
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 3: to win the Riders World Championship, They're going to win

187
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 3: the constructors. We know that they've got the best rider

188
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 3: on probably the best bike, but this is not turn

189
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 3: up on a Ducati and just win these days like

190
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 3: it was in the past. I think the fact, you've

191
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 3: got a thicker brew here with katm coming on it

192
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 3: preally has been really good for pretty much half of

193
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 3: the season. Now after the first five or six rounds

194
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 3: and seeing Hondas up fighting inside the top six legitimately

195
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 3: not through any sort of fluc or anything, it really

196
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 3: does show you that the race from second onwards is

197
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 3: super interesting. It's just that the race of first place

198
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 3: is being won pretty much by the time everyone rolls

199
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 3: out for FP one.

200
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 4: At the moment.

201
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: So I know you're the stats men, but I have

202
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: a stat for you. Mat Marini's best Grand Prix result

203
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: with Honda becoming the first factory Honda writer to take

204
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: a double top five in the sprint era.

205
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 4: That is a three years. That is unbelievable.

206
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 3: Well a, it's amazing to say that about Honda, where

207
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 3: we used to just take that for granted when you

208
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 3: know certain writers were there in the past. But Marini's

209
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 3: been low key one of the better stories of this

210
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 3: sort of second half of the first half of the season,

211
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 3: if that makes sense, because he was seriously injured after

212
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 3: that accident that he had at Zuzukari.

213
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 4: He missed a few rounds.

214
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 3: It looked like it was going to be a long

215
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 3: time until he was back being himself again. His recovery

216
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 3: has been absolutely fantastic. We know him and Joan Mirror

217
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 3: on that new chassis me was really good in Austria.

218
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 3: Like they're just they're just looking really, really legit at

219
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 3: the moment you add them into the mix where you

220
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 3: know all the KTM riders are starting to come along

221
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 3: a little bit bitter cost us the best of all

222
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 3: of them. And then you just mentioned before, but Zeki

223
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 3: has led a number of laps in both Grand Prix

224
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 3: and they followed a familiar pattern in that he's been

225
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 3: the one that's He's sort of been the rabbit if

226
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 3: you like, a Mark's beIN the Hair's been the greyhound

227
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 3: chasing him. And you know Mark with race pace and

228
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 3: tie management, tends to seal the day, but particularly a

229
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 3: parlier and KTM to a lesser extent, Honda, they're making

230
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 3: the fight at the front super interesting. But what was

231
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 3: telling for me is I love watching I pride myself

232
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 3: as a bit of an unofficial body language expert here

233
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 3: and I'm going to put a pluck on the wall,

234
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 3: just give myself a doctorate or something. I love the

235
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 3: fact after all these races in the press conferences and

236
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 3: what have you.

237
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 4: Someone who asked Mark how hard.

238
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 3: He's been pushed over the course of the weekend. It

239
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 3: was a difficult, And there's some weekends where it is difficult,

240
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 3: like I think Acid for example. I don't think he

241
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 3: was the fastest rider there. He just didn't make a

242
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 3: mistake for two days and gave nobody a chance to

243
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 3: pass him. He was asked if the weekend was pretty easy,

244
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 3: and you're thinking brand new track. He learns them well,

245
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 3: anti clockwise tracks. He's almost unbeatable at them. And he

246
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 3: was asked if it was a difficult weekend, and he

247
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 3: sort of thought about it. You could see the gears

248
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 3: turning and he's like, oh, maybe I could dress this

249
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 3: up and say it was a bit difficult. And he's like, nah,

250
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 3: it's pretty comfortable. He didn't try and bluff anyone to

251
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 3: say comfort table as Mark would say, and he's one

252
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 3: of my favorite Mark Marquez English words. But he knew

253
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 3: that he had this race pretty much where he wanted it.

254
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 3: Got his nose bloodied a bit on the first lap,

255
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 3: had that running with Bitzeki, dropped behind Morbid Deli, but

256
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 3: there was just an inevitability to it, and then towards

257
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 3: the end you could see him occasionally just churn out

258
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 3: a lap in the thirty sevens that no one else

259
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 3: was doing, just to keep himself interested. I think, just

260
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 3: to oh, I wonder if I can shave some time

261
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 3: on this corner. So I don't think this one was

262
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 3: particularly difficult. Probably no surprise that he learned a new

263
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 3: circuit faster than everybody else. There'll be other tracks of

264
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 3: the rest of the season that clearly are more difficult.

265
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 3: What I'd be super curious to know is I wonder

266
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 3: what you could get, what odds you could get for

267
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 3: Mark winning every race for.

268
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 4: The rest of the season.

269
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 3: Be very curious to see what you could get if

270
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 3: you put some money down on that, because that's eight

271
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 3: more rounds, sixty more races across eight rounds. He could

272
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 3: finish two thousan twenty five on a thirty race winning streak.

273
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 2: Hows that could you imagine?

274
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: And the only one he didn't win is Coder, which

275
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: is he's the King of Coder.

276
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 4: Unbelievable.

277
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 2: Wow. But for a season.

278
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 3: Before I let you go with Mark, I've got to

279
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 3: tell you this now, because this is cued up literally

280
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 3: on my second screen here. So Mark has four hundred

281
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 3: and fifty five points. He has a two hundred and

282
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 3: twenty seven point lead over Peko banya who's third in

283
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 3: the championship. Peko Banyay for the season has two hundred

284
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 3: and twenty eight points. So Mark has almost doubled Banyai's

285
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 3: points scoring in fourteen rounds. And of all the things

286
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 3: that we thought were going to happen in twenty twenty five,

287
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 3: we thought it'd be like a gloves Orf fight between

288
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 3: those two for the World Championship. He's almost doubled his

289
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 3: score and we're not even two well, we're two thirds

290
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 3: of the way through the season.

291
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 4: Basically, it's absolutely astonishing.

292
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 2: Let's talk about Peko.

293
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: Let's move on to that, because you're the body language

294
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: expert here.

295
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 2: I'm not a.

296
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: Body language expert, but during Sunday's morning warm up, I

297
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 1: can tell that he was pissed.

298
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 3: Off massively, so interestingly, the body language expert, like, you've

299
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 3: just officially given me that title. Now I might need

300
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 3: to get a T shirt or something. But you know

301
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 3: what's really interesting with Peco is that he as bad

302
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 3: as things get, he's usually his composure is the thing

303
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 3: that he keeps and you think of some of these

304
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 3: other riders when one tenth of the things go wrong,

305
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 3: but they've gone wrong for him this year. They'd be

306
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 3: breaking everything and throwing the toys out of the cotton.

307
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 3: You know, they have one bad race weekend and it's

308
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 3: the end of the world, and they're looking to try

309
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 3: and move Pedro Costo, so on and so forth. And

310
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 3: Pecko has kept his counsel for the most part of

311
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 3: the season, but even he has his limits. Pecko's someone

312
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 3: who wants to understand why things are going wrong and

313
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 3: then try and fix them. And because he still can't understand,

314
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 3: and things are just going more wrong and more wrong

315
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 3: and more wrong. Saturday was as dire of a day

316
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 3: at the racetrack as a two time world championship could

317
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 3: be imagined. Really, was it worst dry weather qualifying in

318
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 3: three years. Absolutely Nowhere in the sprint. It was just

319
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 3: so desperately bad. It's bad enough in isolation, but then

320
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 3: when you look at the fact that the guy on

321
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 3: the sister bike on the other side of the garage

322
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 3: hasn't lost anything since May the twenty fifth, back at Silverstone,

323
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 3: it just twists knife that little bit further I think

324
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 3: what was interesting in the race on Sunday. I wonder

325
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 3: if he had sort of caught sight of the way

326
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 3: that he was behaving on Saturday and the fact that

327
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 3: he looked so down about everything. He was almost over

328
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 3: correcting a bit on Sunday, and I thought his race

329
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 3: was decent on Sunday, and he said he felt better

330
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 3: and he'd found something. But it's almost like he was

331
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 3: going a little bit out of his way to try

332
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 3: and sell us on the fact that he was happier.

333
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 3: And I mean, we know this seasons are right off,

334
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 3: but I think we said this on the last episode.

335
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 3: This isn't about this season.

336
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 4: Now.

337
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 3: It's like, can you get to the end of the

338
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 3: season and start the next one without being totally demoralized.

339
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 3: He's now working on twenty twenty six, six months early.

340
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 3: That's basically what it comes down to. But yeah, the

341
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 3: body language for someone who's normally so he's just so

342
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 3: cool about things. Usually it's not that these unemotional. He's

343
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 3: not robot, but he's usually very cool and composed, and

344
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,239
Speaker 3: you know there's a rationale behind the way he reacts,

345
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 3: and that just wasn't there on Saturday and early Sunday.

346
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 3: He looks genuinely he's gone from being perplexed to being

347
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 3: rattled because it's like, I'm doing everything thing I can

348
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 3: to try and find a solution here and I still

349
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 3: can't find one. It's going to be, I mean, the

350
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 3: next eight rounds. If he beats Marquez once, it'll be miracle,

351
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 3: Let's be honest. But how can he not fall further

352
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 3: into this sort of pit of despair for the next

353
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 3: eight rounds Because as bad as this year has been,

354
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 3: we get to the start of next year, it's still

355
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 3: zero zero once we turn up for the first race

356
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 3: of the season. You can't let pass perforwarce dictate future potential.

357
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 3: And that's the spiral he risks going down right now

358
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 3: unless he can correct this.

359
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: Talking about the body language, I'm thinking back to Q

360
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: one on Saturday night, and I.

361
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 2: Okay, I've never ridden a Moto GP bike.

362
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: I understand a little bit body language and coming from

363
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: my brother, but I was watching Peco and to me,

364
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: you just mentioned it that he was overriding this bike

365
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: so much.

366
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 2: It's like the rear just was not sticking down on

367
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 2: the track at all.

368
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: And he keeps saying about the front, but then it

369
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: wasn't making sense to me. I'm going he looks lost,

370
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: and I can see this just in a q ON session.

371
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: I know he's trying to fight for those top two

372
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: places to move on and actually get a decent grid position.

373
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: But you could just see he was fighting that bike

374
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: so hard this weekend.

375
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's like a bit of professional panics that are

376
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 3: setting in right, like he's literally throwing anything at the

377
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 3: war right now, just to hope that anything sticks, where

378
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 3: his modus operandi usually is to all right, I don't

379
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 3: understand this. I'm going to dig deeper and deeper and

380
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 3: deeper into the data, and I'll work harder, and I'll

381
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 3: find the thing we thought it had happened to Aragon.

382
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 3: You remember when he fitted those the giant break discs

383
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 3: on at Aragon, and that was sort of thought to

384
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 3: be like the you know, the magic bullet that was

385
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 3: going to get him back to where he was. He

386
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 3: ran breaks that you would never normally run at Aragon.

387
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 3: But all of a sudden, it's like, Oh, I've got

388
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 3: the front feeling that I haven't had all year. I

389
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 3: feel really fast, this is all great, and so you're thinking, Okay,

390
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 3: maybe that's the corner being turned, and he was very

391
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 3: optimistic about that. Of course, I get to the next

392
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 3: round at Magello. It yeah, it was Magello and where

393
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 3: he's normally so good and he was nowhere so you

394
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 3: go kick off the podium in.

395
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 4: That Grand Prix.

396
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 3: So it feels like he's just clutching at straws. Now,

397
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 3: what's interesting is that we're talking about this last week

398
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 3: with the Massano test coming up, and you know, would

399
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 3: it be beneficial for him to get on a GP

400
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 3: twenty four and try and find the feeling and at

401
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 3: least be able to express that back for the twenty five.

402
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 3: It sounds like that's not going to happen. It doesn't

403
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 3: sound like he's going to ride the twenty four because

404
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 3: it's not like he can race it, and rather than

405
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 3: I think it's interesting in that, Yeah, you could go

406
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 3: back and ride the twenty four and go, oh, this

407
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 3: is like putting on a comfortable pair of shoes or whatever,

408
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 3: like I love this, this is fantastic. But then if

409
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 3: you can't use it, it's just going to make you

410
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 3: more depressed about what you don't have, I guess. So

411
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 3: you've got to try and work out what it is

412
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 3: that you've got.

413
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 4: What'll be more.

414
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 3: Interesting is what they do next year with the nominally

415
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 3: the GP twenty six. Does it become is the twenty

416
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 3: six just an iteration and a development of the twenty

417
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 3: five bike, or does it take aspects of the twenty

418
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 3: four before they have to emuligate the thing and race

419
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 3: it for the season. He's not going to get some

420
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 3: sort of magic solution in the next eight rounds, but

421
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,360
Speaker 3: maybe getting on a GP twenty four at Massano might

422
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 3: just confuse a bit more and almost make him lament

423
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 3: a bit more like, Oh, I had this, I love

424
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 3: this bike. I just can't ride this one. It's mostly

425
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 3: between easy ears at this point, and there's just got

426
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 3: to be a solution for riding this twenty five to

427
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 3: some sort of standard, because well, there's one guy that

428
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 3: seems to be doing a fairly good job of it.

429
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: I was thinking over the weekend about like the rules

430
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 1: and rags for next year, and I go, would it

431
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: be possible for Mark to jump on the twenty six

432
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: model bike if that's what they're going to call it,

433
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: and for Peco to then jump back on a twenty

434
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 1: four even though they're both on the factory team. Is

435
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: there rules and rags.

436
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 2: About that, do you know?

437
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, My understanding is they've got a home Allogate one chassis,

438
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 3: so they can't be mixing and matching between So yes,

439
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 3: you can have you know, remember last year the Grassini

440
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 3: team were running twenty threes and so I think within

441
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 3: the same team you can. But I think within a factory,

442
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 3: I think you've got a home Alligate one. So do

443
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 3: they come up with because clearly, you know, as much

444
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 3: as Pico has struggled to ride this twenty five, it's

445
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 3: the bike is going to win a World championship by

446
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 3: an absolute mile. And this goes back to the what

447
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 3: we've said about Marquez in the past, in that he

448
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 3: wins the championship when he has the best bike. He

449
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 3: also wins the championship when he doesn't have the best bike,

450
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 3: and we saw this in Honda. There were many years

451
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 3: towards the tail end of Honda where the bike probably

452
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 3: wasn't the best and certain time of years the Yamaha

453
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 3: is clearly better. He's the difference maker. So I think

454
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 3: I think if you give Banyai the absolute sharpest instrument,

455
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 3: let's say both of them are on the twenty fours

456
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 3: this year, I still think Mark wins the championship, but

457
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 3: I think Pecko runs it a hell of a lot closer.

458
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 3: If the twenty five is not quite the iterative step

459
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 3: that because the twenty four was renowned as being this

460
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 3: incredible bike to ride. We've seen Alex Marquees has had

461
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 3: his best ever season on that bike. We've seen Altager

462
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 3: get podiums as a rookie on that bike. It's clearly

463
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 3: the bike.

464
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 4: To be on.

465
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,199
Speaker 3: You wonder what Mark could do on that bike if

466
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 3: it was really that much superior. It doesn't even bear

467
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 3: thinking about at this point. But I just think Vanyai,

468
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 3: this is massive adversity for a guy who hasn't had

469
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 3: a hell of a lot of adversity for the last

470
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 3: four years. I mean, last year's abby hip loss was

471
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 3: pretty much self inflicted. He was just too wasteful last year,

472
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 3: too many DNFs. It was explainable. I think the hard

473
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 3: part about twenty five for him is that it's not explainable,

474
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 3: and that's the hardest part for him to get his

475
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 3: head around.

476
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: I think to county his blessings and to look at

477
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 1: a positive for him this weekend was the fact that

478
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 1: Alex and Jack got caught up in all that drama

479
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: on Friday, which gave Peko Banyaya a couple grid plays

480
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: places further up for Sundays Ron Prix. So he was

481
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: a little bit further ahead in the middle of the field.

482
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 1: But let's talk about Jack, because clearly just another difficult weekend.

483
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: But it seems like it's kind of building up from

484
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: the Thursday. Now there's all the talk of him for

485
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: next year, in him giving the ultimatum and everything like that,

486
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, Friday's caught up in

487
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: that drama and I'm going, Jack, this isn't going to

488
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: help you case here, like stop flaming other people. And

489
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: then obviously a double crash on Sunday's Grand Prix.

490
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think you can draw a line

491
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 3: between Thursday and Friday to say that they're related. I'm

492
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 3: not one hundred percent sure that they were. He sort

493
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 3: of got caught up on Friday with Fabio de Jen

494
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 3: Antonio was a bit slow in front of Alex Marquez.

495
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 3: Alex Markes was getting frustrating, rolled out, didn't realize that

496
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 3: Jack was behind him.

497
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 4: Jack was annoyed with Alex. He rolled out.

498
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 3: Peco was behind the both of them, So it was

499
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 3: one of those sort of domino effect things on the Friday,

500
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 3: I think, with Thursday and Jack's little outburst in his

501
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 3: press debrief. What was interesting about that was that it

502
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 3: was right at the end of a fairly long debrief

503
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 3: where he was talking about the bike and that Austria

504
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 3: was a bit rubbish and what's the news going to

505
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 3: be like and so on and so forth, and he

506
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 3: was just answered, he answered in an almost offhand way,

507
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 3: it's like any news about next year, Jack, you know,

508
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 3: just someone just threw that in there. And it struck

509
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 3: me and I guess we'll have to fill in with truth,

510
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 3: serah and ask him this one day. It struck me

511
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 3: that what he had to say on Friday was quite

512
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 3: premeditated in that I don't think it was an off

513
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 3: the cuff just responding to a question. I think he

514
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 3: wanted to get his frustrations out there with the face

515
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 3: that this thing was taking so long with Yamaha one

516
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 3: way or the other, in an attempt to prod them

517
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 3: for a response. And I think maybe the catalyst for

518
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 3: that is we'd heard that Yogo Morrera had received offers

519
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 3: from Yamaha and Honda and I think Jack was not

520
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 3: so much accepting of that, but he understood. And it

521
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 3: looked like ahead of last weekend that Marrera was leading

522
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 3: towards going with Honda. It's a longer deal, it's factory

523
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 3: writer status. It makes complete sense if you're morera you'd

524
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 3: go to Honda right now than Yamaha, because Honda's really

525
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 3: making progress and Yamaha's sort of spinning its wheels a bit.

526
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 3: And then the man who Gonzales stuff sort of started

527
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 3: in the background like, well, he come up to Murder

528
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 3: GP with Yamaha, and Jack's at a point was like, well,

529
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 3: would you like to put anyone else's name in the

530
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 3: frame here instead of mine?

531
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 4: For this thing?

532
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 3: I've outperformed Miguel Olavera, my teammate, considerably over the course

533
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 3: of the season. He has a contract with a break clause.

534
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 3: I have a contract that runs to the end of

535
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 3: the season. Are you just going to keep looking at

536
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 3: other people and keeping me hanging here? Because the other

537
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 3: domino here was there were no other seats in Murder GP.

538
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 3: If he was going to go to World Super Likes,

539
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 3: those teams could only wait for so long. And I

540
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 3: think what you've seen over the past few days, Jack

541
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 3: had his little outburst that I think was quite premeditated.

542
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 3: He was a lot more calm over the course of

543
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 3: the rest of the weekend. There was some vision of

544
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 3: him and his manager Achieo coming out of a meeting

545
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 3: with Yamahat management on Thursday. Jack was a lot more

546
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 3: He just sort of played the line the rest of

547
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 3: the course of the weekend. And then on the Monday,

548
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 3: after the Sunday Grand Prix in Hungary, the Decadi World

549
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 3: Superbikes team where Jack was being linked to for obvious reasons,

550
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 3: they announced that Alvarro Batista is being replaced by Ikea Lekuona,

551
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 3: so that seat's gone. And Olivera was speaking on Sunday

552
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 3: after his best result of the year actually in Hungary,

553
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 3: saying that he's not ready to be a test writing yet,

554
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 3: so he's kind of acknowledged that he's out. So he

555
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,199
Speaker 3: starts stacking all these stories together and there's an obvious

556
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 3: conclusion here. And I think, you know, it's Tuesday evening

557
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 3: as we talk about this Australian time. I would imagine

558
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 3: that before the next Grand Prix, Jack gets the news

559
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 3: that he's been looking for. But I thought what he

560
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 3: did on Thursday. Was you know, you told me this

561
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 3: was going to be sorted by before the mid season

562
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 3: break at Bruno. It's a month later. I've gone and

563
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 3: done Suzuka for you. I'm hearing all.

564
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 4: These other names.

565
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 3: What is actually going on here to try and prod

566
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 3: them into a response, and I'm sure this is on

567
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,479
Speaker 3: your run sheheet. We haven't talked about this, but the

568
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 3: fact that Yamaha is now going to race this V

569
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 3: four as soon as Massano, I actually think that's a

570
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 3: pretty significant factor in Jack staying for next season because

571
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 3: I couldn't imagine them trying to get a V four

572
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 3: project off the ground when your rider lineup is Fabio

573
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 3: Quadroro awesome, Alex Rinn's broken, absolutely no results, Top brack

574
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 3: Rasctalioglu rookie, Diogo Marera rookie or whoever a man who

575
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 3: Gonzales rookie. That's not a line up to me that's

576
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 3: going to be great in developing a brand new project

577
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 3: for Yamaha while they're also juggling twenty twenty seven and

578
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 3: the rule changes coming in there. So this is a

579
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 3: job description that requires an experience head who's got a

580
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 3: lot of VIA V four experience, and the experience head

581
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 3: with the V four experience is Jack Miller.

582
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 2: It was kind of scary also for a while.

583
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 1: And I don't know we had it last year to

584
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 1: think that we wouldn't have an Aussie on the Moto

585
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: GP grid. And you know, we're trying to bring MotoGP

586
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 1: here to a bigger audience, We're trying to get more

587
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: people involved. To think that Jack, who's such Alarican and everything,

588
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: it has this brand that everyone knows of him to

589
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: him not be on the grid. But then I also

590
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: think of him as the athlete, going how stressful this

591
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: must be as well, because you've had a difficult weekend

592
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: in Austria. Difficult weekend again, You're dealing with all the pressure,

593
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: the rumors, everything, no wonder He shared his thoughts on Thursday,

594
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: like it.

595
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 3: Makes yeah, yeah, it makes sense. And there's two other

596
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 3: factors here. I think we had Simon Patterson on the

597
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 3: other week talking about the Liberty media era of MotoGP.

598
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 3: He is the biggest English speaking personality we have on

599
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 3: this grid by right now, by an absolute mile. I'm

600
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 3: not sure Liberty would be super keen on Jack being

601
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 3: off the greed that was going to be what happened.

602
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 3: The other factor to remember here and I checked this

603
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 3: before we got on the Australian Grand Prix, and he

604
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 3: has a contract at Philip Island until the end of

605
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 3: next year's event, so end of twenty six, there's two

606
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,199
Speaker 3: more years on the current deal and the thought of

607
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 3: having to go and recent renegotiate that contract potentially without

608
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 3: Australian writer on the grid in a Liberty Media era

609
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 3: Motor GP that's going forward. That's a really interesting fork

610
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 3: in the road. And we know that Jack is You know,

611
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 3: Jack feels a very specific development need for Yamaha right now.

612
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 3: He's not the right rider for every vacancy on the grid.

613
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 3: I think he's the right rider for this vacancy, but

614
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 3: I also don't think it's going to be a vacancy

615
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 3: that necessarily lasts all that long. We might be having

616
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 3: the same conversation this time next year.

617
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 4: I don't know.

618
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 3: But for the time being, he feels like the right

619
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 3: man for the job description that's being advertised, and there'll

620
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 3: come a point in twelve months or twenty four months

621
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 3: or whatever it is where he might not fit what

622
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 3: they need anymore and Yamaha might need something different. So

623
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 3: to my mind, it's Jack's last motor GP stop while

624
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 3: he manages to fulfill the need that they have from him.

625
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 3: And the truest sign of whether he's actually done his

626
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 3: job well will be if Yamaha improves to the point

627
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 3: where they're more competitive with Honda and then starting to

628
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 3: edge up towards the other manufacturers. Then that's almost like, thanks, Jack,

629
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 3: you've done what we needed you to do. Let's shake

630
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 3: hands and you know, right off into this into the

631
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 3: sunset in different directions, because that's probably going to be

632
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 3: best for Yamaha, and probably best for him at that point,

633
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 3: because he'll be thirty one, thirty two years old. He's

634
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 3: had a very good run, and I think that feels

635
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 3: like a more natural conclusion than it concluding this year.

636
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: No, completely completely agree. I think I brought up on

637
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: last week's pot. I think about the fact that the

638
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: V four and I said I didn't want it to

639
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 1: be ran out MATEGI where they normally have their test

640
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: writer is.

641
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 3: So, and it's the power you've got is you just

642
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 3: find Yamaha and say bring it forward.

643
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 2: Bring it forward.

644
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 1: That's exactly what I did. I just gave them a

645
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: quick cool note when I thought. I saw the announcement

646
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: made I thought, good on you guys. And the fact

647
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: that they're bringing it to sat Marino.

648
00:27:58,720 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 2: They know there's a test.

649
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: After wold they're bringing it early or Gusto Fernandez, Ok,

650
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: he's a few filling rise this year. I think it's

651
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 1: what we need. We just need this question answered.

652
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 3: We need to know the FEF going to be like, yeah, yeah,

653
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 3: we need to know. And if I'm being a little

654
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 3: bit uncharitable, which is pretty much the way I roll,

655
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 3: let's be honest, maybe if you bring it to Masado

656
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 3: and it doesn't go super well, it's better than debuting

657
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 3: it at Motigi in front of all of the Abaha's

658
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 3: banishment and it doesn't go super well. That would be

659
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 3: slightly embarrassing. So at least they've given themselves an extra

660
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 3: round ahead of time. And like you said, then, I

661
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 3: think the key thing the fact that test is the

662
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 3: day after the Grand Prix, where presumably all the regular

663
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 3: writers will have a crack on it as well, because

664
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 3: Squaaterero is, you know, probably chomping at the bid to

665
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 3: have a go at this thing at this point. So

666
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 3: it makes a lot of sense. But I'm just impressed

667
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 3: with the fact that you can just get Palo Vivessio

668
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 3: on the phone say look, come on, what are we

669
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 3: doing here? This is the power of the pit Talk podcast.

670
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 3: You just put a requested and things happen.

671
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you know, that's just how it goes

672
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: here in Australia.

673
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 3: Just just just a real subtle flex by you, isn't it.

674
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: I'm kidding listeners, this is not what happens. But you know, yamaha,

675
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: if you do listen to the Pit Top pod, then

676
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: you know for sure, me and Matt we'd love to

677
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: come and be a guest in the garage of Phil.

678
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 3: Sure, just just give it, just give us the appropriate

679
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 3: credit when you when things go well, that's fun.

680
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly exactly.

681
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: Talking about things going well, Besendigitia, want to touch on

682
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: this both riders from Q one onto the front row?

683
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: Can you believe that?

684
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 4: Amazing?

685
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 3: And how was the degen Antonio Q one story in

686
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 3: that he set the precise lap time that Brad Binder

687
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,479
Speaker 3: set in Q one to the thousandths of a second

688
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 3: and managed to get the second berth from Q one

689
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 3: into Q two because his second best lap of the

690
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 3: session was faster. He then goes and sticks it on

691
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 3: the front row and he then gets a sprint podium,

692
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 3: finishing second behind Mark marqueerrez All because his second best

693
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 3: lap in Q one got him through to Q two

694
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 3: and that he capitalized on it from there. Kind of

695
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 3: amazing how these things work out. And Brad Binder, we

696
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 3: saw him at the back end of the top ten,

697
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 3: but no better than that. One of the disappointing things

698
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 3: I reckon about Sunday was the fact we never really

699
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 3: got to see what did you could do on Sunday

700
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 3: because he had that electronics issue and had to go

701
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 3: to the spare bike and his race was pretty much shot.

702
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 3: I would have been super interested to see he was

703
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 3: clearly the second Besty Caddy all weekend, and I would

704
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 3: have been curious to see where he fit in with

705
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 3: that Acosta Bezeki sort of crew up the front. VR

706
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 3: forty sixty. Caddy afterwards said that on race pace they

707
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 3: thought he would have finished fourth. So it's a lot

708
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 3: better than finishing fifteenth, which is where he finished. But yeah,

709
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 3: how was that to the thousandths of a second in

710
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 3: qualifying and that ends up on the front row because

711
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 3: of it?

712
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 4: That was an incredible.

713
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: Fifteen minutes honestly, qualifying this weekend was really fascinating, just

714
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: the fact, you know, Peco struggling. We don't want that,

715
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: but to see him and so many big names in

716
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: q on and then obviously Bes and Digi and I

717
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: kind of expected it from Bezel going. I almost thought

718
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: for him and it is he going to get pol?

719
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 2: Could he do this? Can he do the best weekend?

720
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: Yeah?

721
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 4: He did the same in Austria.

722
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 3: But again another thing that I'm sure it's on your

723
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 3: run shit, And I'm to talk about this. Marco Betzeki's

724
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 3: teammate was pretty damned good in Hungary on the weekend,

725
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 3: wasn't he?

726
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 2: That's what I was just about to talk about. Mate

727
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 2: took the words out of my mouth.

728
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: Joege Martin p sixteen to pee four. Can you believe

729
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: that the emotion that you saw from him when he

730
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: came back in the whole team, just that the tears,

731
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: the emotion, Wow, you could just feel it through the screen.

732
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 3: If you want to go and watch ninety seconds of

733
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 3: awesome on boards, go and watch Jorge Martin's first lap.

734
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 3: I don't know whether you've done it yet. He went

735
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 3: from sixteenth to seventh on lap one and watching him

736
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 3: pick his way through those opening four or five corners.

737
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 3: I think he'd overtaken seven people before the time we

738
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 3: got to turn five on lap one. It was absolutely spectacular.

739
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 3: He took the outside line into turn one and then

740
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 3: was just in this. Oh there's a gap, someone's gone

741
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 3: wide here, someone's been pushed there. I'm going here. It

742
00:31:55,800 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 3: was spectacularly done. And the thing for me he finished

743
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 3: three point two seconds behind his teammate who started fourteen

744
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 3: places ahead of him on the grid, and that I

745
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 3: don't think Juge Martin's back back Capitol back yet. But

746
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 3: this is his fourth Grand Prix of the year. Remember

747
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 3: and remember the first one he ended up with eleven

748
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 3: fractured ribs and a collapse lung in hospital. So he's

749
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 3: basically done three Grand Prix in a row. He has

750
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 3: come a really long way, really really quickly. He still

751
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 3: can't work out the whole one lap thing.

752
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: That.

753
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 3: Do you realize that he was seventeenth on the grid.

754
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 3: That's his worst ever Motor GP qualify. I went back

755
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 3: and looked at that and went, goodness to me, like

756
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 3: eighty odd races since twenty twenty one, so lowest he's

757
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 3: ever qualified. He was awesome on Sunday, and you think

758
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 3: how far he's come, how fast. It was only a

759
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 3: month ago he was back in a race situation for

760
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 3: the first time. We know the Aprili is good, We've

761
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 3: seen that for the past five or six rounds and

762
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 3: Bazeki's been great. This is like twenty twenty three bez

763
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 3: all over again.

764
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 4: But hand on hard.

765
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 3: I don't think anyone's watching thinking that he's the same

766
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 3: class of rider as Hall, fully Fit, Firing, or hey Martin.

767
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 3: And you think at the moment, the one thing Martine's

768
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 3: famous for is just these absolutely volcanic pole position laps.

769
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 3: We were like, my god, what is that lap where

770
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 3: he You look at the sector times and he's six

771
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 3: tenths up on his best lap in Q two. He

772
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 3: hasn't even found that yet. He's coming along really, really quickly,

773
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 3: and there's eight rounds to go. I've written a piece

774
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 3: on Tuesday for Fox sports dot com dot are you

775
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 3: wondering who's going to be the person that stops the

776
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 3: Marquez winning run? Like when will Mark actually.

777
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 4: Lose a race?

778
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 3: For the back end of this season, there's some good

779
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 3: Martine tracks coming up. There's a couple of good apriller

780
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 3: tracks coming up. It would not surprise me if Mark

781
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 3: rattles off another couple of perfect weekends. The one guy

782
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 3: that might beat him before the end of the season.

783
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 3: We know his championship defense is in the bin. On

784
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 3: his day at even seventy five percent fit or hey,

785
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 3: Martin could beat Mark Marquez this year. I could see

786
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 3: it happening at certain circuits because you're looking at the

787
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 3: rest of the pack and you're saying, well, who else

788
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 3: is going to short of Mark actually making a mistake

789
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 3: like he has a couple of rounds this year. He's

790
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 3: not fully back yet, Juge Martin. But man, there was

791
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 3: some stuff on the weekend where you're just watching him,

792
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 3: was thinking, you forget just how combative and how feisty

793
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 3: this guy is and how fast he is, and you know,

794
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 3: at a track where you can't overtake here apparently, and

795
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 3: he's gained twelve positions from where he started. I think

796
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 3: he sort of threw that theory in the bin. But oh,

797
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 3: he was good to watch, and you do wonder what's

798
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 3: coming up, like Barcelona good at Prillier track, right, So

799
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 3: that's going to be one to watch And I just

800
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 3: hope that he's more accustomed to what he's writing, and

801
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,760
Speaker 3: he's back towards full fitness. Because Martin and Philip Island

802
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 3: is one of my favorite things to watch, particularly in qualifying.

803
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 3: He is awesome around there over one lab. We know

804
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 3: how good Mark is a Philip Island too, So sign

805
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 3: me up if we get another head to head with

806
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 3: those two, because that was fun last year, be even

807
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 3: more fun this year given what's happened to both of them.

808
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 1: Since I think quote of the year on this pod

809
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 1: is you saying Martin's going to win a race this year,

810
00:34:58,360 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 1: Let's do it. I think we're just going to ca

811
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: it out now. So when that happens, will you heard

812
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: it here first? Yamaha, heard it here first? And you're

813
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: predicting juge Martine's twenty twenty five made in Grand Prix victory.

814
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 3: And the best part about that is if it doesn't happen,

815
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 3: I will never mention it again, and so it'll just

816
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 3: be it'll just disappear into the podcast e through and

817
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 3: no whatever has to discuss this. So either way, I

818
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:19,760
Speaker 3: think I'm winning this one.

819
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 1: I mean, all the listeners, you'll all forget about it.

820
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 4: I'll distract you with something else.

821
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: So it was a pretty interesting weekend for Moto GP

822
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 1: and if we were to move on to Moto two,

823
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 1: unfortunately our was he center age is when we recorded

824
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: the pod, it wasn't announced that it wasn't complete competing

825
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:44,720
Speaker 1: and then I press record, Sorry, I pressed upload.

826
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 3: Pod was up there.

827
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: Next minute I see the notification he was replaced by

828
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: Sogio Guscia. So fingers crossed and is making a good

829
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 1: recovery and he will be back for Barcelona in a

830
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: couple weeks time. But let's move on to Moto three.

831
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 1: Great qualify result for Jacob, I think the boost that

832
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 1: he needed. But once again, overall tough weekend for the Aussies.

833
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: Jack Jack Jack Joel says on his socials that he

834
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: just just did not feel comfortable by the looks of it.

835
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 3: It was it was one of those weekends where because

836
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 3: nobody had any familiarity with this place. Normally you can

837
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 3: go back and say, oh, I've raced in the CV here,

838
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 3: or I've done Moto three here. If you're a Moto

839
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 3: two it was the blankest sheet of paper possible, so

840
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 3: it was interesting to see who was able to get

841
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 3: to grips with it faster.

842
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 4: Than not.

843
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 3: Jacob Rolston quick over one lap, like you said, faded

844
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 3: in the race again. His teammates looking pretty awesome at

845
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:39,919
Speaker 3: the moment, Peroni, that's for sure.

846
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 4: And then Joel.

847
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 3: You know, I still don't think Joel's anywhere dear fit

848
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 3: after what happened in the Netherlands. He's still sort of

849
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,439
Speaker 3: recovering a little bit from that, but just didn't quite

850
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 3: seem to gel for him this weekend. So yeah, definitely

851
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 3: a tough race weekend for the Aussies all up. You

852
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 3: know when you think no center and Jack had a

853
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 3: couple of crashes on Sunday, but Race of the night, well,

854
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 3: last three laps of the night David Alozzo and this

855
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 3: kid is I love everything about the way he conducts himself.

856
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 3: He looks like he's having the best day of his

857
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 3: life every single day. Is super cool to watch. If

858
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 3: this guy doesn't have Motor GP superstar written all over

859
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,240
Speaker 3: him in about three to four years, he's got absolutely everything.

860
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 3: He's got the sound bites. He's amazing at the end

861
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 3: of races for a guy who's got no experience on

862
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 3: a motor two bike whatsoever. He's one of those guys

863
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 3: in three to four years time we're doing the podcast,

864
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 3: of course we'll be talking about him as being a

865
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 3: Motor GP front running rider because he just ticks every box,

866
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 3: doesn't he have a young guy you see coming through

867
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 3: this is like a Coster, but maybe even a little

868
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:44,800
Speaker 3: bit more polished.

869
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 1: I think it's hilarious the fact that he's a Marquez

870
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: protege along with Killers, and I think these are the

871
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: two riders who are like dominating or I mean, obviously

872
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 1: the ones has taken a little bit longer to get

873
00:37:56,320 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 1: back to the front as he's meeting. If you guys

874
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: don't watch Moto two, go back and watch even just

875
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: watch those last three laps. Like Mart was saying, we

876
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: were messaging on our work chat, going, oh.

877
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 2: My god, look at David. Is he gonna do it? Oh,

878
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:12,879
Speaker 2: he's gonna do it. He's gonna be a Moto GP.

879
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 1: Like this kid's the next alien and he's phenomenal. And

880
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: I just always think of hashtag baby goat.

881
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 3: It's a great hashtag. I do love it. And he

882
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 3: looks like he just looks like a little kid. He's

883
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 3: the proper baby face assassin. I'm not sure if he's

884
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 3: still got the braces and the band's going unlock he

885
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 3: was doing in Moto three last year. But he looks

886
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 3: like the nicest young kid imaginable. And then once the

887
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,240
Speaker 3: visor goes down and he twists the throttle, he's an

888
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 3: absolute animal. And the best part about the end of

889
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 3: that Moto II race was probably five laps to go.

890
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 3: You just thought, oh, yeah, he's gonna win this. Watch this,

891
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,720
Speaker 3: and you know, Marera, we know he's super super feisty,

892
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 3: and Gonzales is leading the championship and he's not going

893
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,280
Speaker 3: to get pushed around, and there was just an inevitability

894
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 3: to him winning the race. He's got it. Whatever that

895
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:58,399
Speaker 3: thing is, that indefinable thing that separates the great from

896
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 3: the merely very good, he's got And yeah, Moto GP

897
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 3: Star of the future, looking forward to that.

898
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 2: I'm very much looking forward to that as well. Well.

899
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: That pretty much wraps up our Ballaton Park review. Matt,

900
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: you excited for MotoGP to come back here next year?

901
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:17,760
Speaker 4: Uh, CBC.

902
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 3: Let's see if we can remove Let's see if we

903
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 3: can have movie like two Less Chicanes, and then Ye'll

904
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 3: get back to you.

905
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, two Less Chicanes. Maybe Acosta not throwing his bike

906
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: at a cameraman and I'm hopefully not a Moto E

907
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:32,760
Speaker 1: rider knocking himself out on the sidelines, which was crazy.

908
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 1: I messaged Kiko Giles, the commentator for that and said,

909
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 1: well done because that was a scary moment. Another big

910
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 1: gas for me on the side of the sofa. But

911
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: that's okay because Moto GP has one weekend off and

912
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: then we are back at the Circuit de Barcelona, Catalonia,

913
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: that iconic circuit that kind of looks like a crab

914
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,959
Speaker 1: if you look at it long way. But like I said,

915
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 1: prity have been strong here in the past. Mark Marquez's

916
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:03,240
Speaker 1: home track because we know he's born not that far away,

917
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: but also it's I guess home track for the Spargaro brothers,

918
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 1: Paula Spargo. Can we just talk about him quickly before oh,

919
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:14,919
Speaker 1: wrap this up, because I just remembered for a test rider, man,

920
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,919
Speaker 1: he does good, doesn't He's constantly in that top ten.

921
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

922
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:20,800
Speaker 3: I think he's I think he thought he might have

923
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 3: been done with racing and he's got back and been

924
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 3: so competitive. He was good at Bruno, really good this

925
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,839
Speaker 3: weekend in Hungary as well. There's still a lot more

926
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 3: to give for him and we know that he's a

927
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 3: family man these days, juggling you know, does commentary for

928
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,839
Speaker 3: his own kids and what have you. Maybe he needs,

929
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 3: like I don't know, a World Superbike sort of type

930
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 3: calendar rather than twenty two rounds about a GP, but

931
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 3: certainly hasn't got any slower, has he.

932
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: Well that's the rumors coming out now that he's like

933
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: talking about he'd be interested in a World Superbike ride,

934
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 1: which I think would be exciting because it's Paul and

935
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,280
Speaker 1: the fact that he's coming back and doing top ten finishes.

936
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 1: So sorry, I digress, guys, if if we're wrapping this

937
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: one up and we had to talk about Paul Spargo,

938
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: but yes, we are back Barcelona next weekend. Can Mark

939
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 1: Marquez breakaway? Can Alex Marquez have a stronger weekend so

940
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: Mark doesn't wrap up that title in San Marino? We

941
