1
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: The hills were alive with the sounds of Moto GP

2
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: and a Prillier on pole, a rookie on the podium,

3
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: and a double slide right off the star line. How

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: else do you sum up the Austrian Grand Prix. For

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: some writers it was a weekend of celebration and for

6
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 1: others nothing but pure misery. Curses were broken, champagne was sprayed,

7
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: and yes, Matt Burt definitely called it a Spielberg blockbuster

8
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: one too many times. Love your Bertie, But this week

9
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,959
Speaker 1: Pittalk Podcast is brought to you by Shannon's Insurance. I'm

10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: your host, Rinita Vanmullen, And if monogp Analysis were a

11
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: winner Schnitzel, he'd be the crisp Golden Crust.

12
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 2: Welcome back, Matt Clayton.

13
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: Matt, we had to go for a funny intro because

14
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: this whole weekend, I feel like, was just you couldn't

15
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: have written it as a blockbuster as a Matt No

16
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: plenty of times.

17
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, you were just going through all the things

18
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 3: that happened. It's one of those race weekends where that

19
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 3: many things happen that you go back and go, oh yeah,

20
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 3: Jack Miller blew his bike up on Friday and had

21
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 3: to sit out the start of Saturday practice and got

22
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 3: fired a thousand euros to dumping fluid all over the track.

23
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 3: That was about the thirteenth most important thing that happened

24
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 3: over the course of the weekend. It just felt like

25
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 3: there was so much going on and so you've done

26
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 3: a reasonable job to encapsulate that over the weekend. The

27
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 3: only disappointing thing for me was no schnitzel's were eaten

28
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 3: by me over the course of the weekend, so I

29
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 3: didn't completely get into the Austrian GP spirits. I might

30
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 3: have to do something about that next time.

31
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: Oh man, well, what are you going to do for Hungary,

32
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: because like, you've got to get into the full the

33
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: experience being in Melbourne, right, You can't just peace out there.

34
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 3: In the cold, No, I know the culinary experience of Melbourne.

35
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 3: I'm sure I could dig out a Hungarian restaurant from somewhere.

36
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 3: Melbourne's got those places covered. But yeah, missed out on

37
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 3: the schnitzel. That was a rookie mistake by me.

38
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: Well, Mark Markes didn't miss out on the podium or

39
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: the win this weekend, So.

40
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 4: No denying Mark. Marqus he's the man of the hour.

41
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: What else can you say about him at the moment.

42
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's just got He's got everything so under control

43
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 3: at the moment in that, you know, both races, in

44
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 3: the sprint behind his brother and in the main race

45
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 3: behind Marco Betzeki, you just thought, all right, it's a

46
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 3: matter of time. I think what the interesting thing was

47
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 3: for me and about you watching it was that there

48
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 3: was an inevitability with the spread that he would get

49
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 3: past Alex and that would be the end of that,

50
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 3: which it was. The Grand Prix for me was interesting

51
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 3: in that he clearly decided when he was going to

52
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 3: go against Betzeki, and Bazeki fought back and really made

53
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 3: him work for it, which I think his testament to

54
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 3: just how confident he is at the moment, how good

55
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 3: at Prillier are at the moment, they're clearly the second

56
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 3: best bike and Bodo GP right now. But the thing

57
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,839
Speaker 3: I loved about Mark is like, well, I think he said,

58
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: you know, I decided to step back for a few

59
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 3: laps and breathe a bit, have a little sleep, have

60
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 3: a rethink, have a reset, and then I'll just pass

61
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 3: him somewhere else where he can't immediately cut back past me.

62
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 3: So market is calculating and cunning, bess, but fair play

63
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 3: to a Prillier generally and Bozeki specifically, because this is

64
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 3: just not one or two races now that he's been good,

65
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 3: he's been genuinely since Silverstone, and he's getting more confident,

66
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,679
Speaker 3: the bike's getting better. They were absolutely hopeless on Friday Apriliant.

67
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 3: They're both in Q one. So for Berzeki to come

68
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 3: through Q one, take pole position, score a podium in

69
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 3: the GP, nearly score a podium in the sprint, that

70
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 3: was the big story out of this weekend. But we

71
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 3: can't sort of just gloss over the fact that Mark

72
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 3: Marquez is on a twelve race winning streak, six perfect

73
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 3: weekends from Aragon to Austria and this championship, which it

74
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 3: was inevitable before. But if he's winning at the Red

75
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 3: Bull Ring, then frankly everyone else as well go home

76
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 3: at this point because if there was anywhere he was

77
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 3: going to lose, it was going to be there.

78
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: I think maybe you've mentioned it before on the pod

79
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: and end. Something that I'm thinking about is I kind

80
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: of just want Mark to wrap up this championship because

81
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: then I want to see him play and have fun,

82
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: because I feel like at the moment, he says in

83
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: the press conferences, you know, I'm not thinking about numbers.

84
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: I'm just here to win. We'll just win, just wrap

85
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: it out, like you said, and then go and play,

86
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: and then let's show us what you really can do

87
00:03:58,480 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: on a Moto GP bike.

88
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so. I mean, it's one of those

89
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 3: things that it's inevitable that you do start to do

90
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 3: the mats when you've got this much of a lead.

91
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 3: And as much as he's never going to take anything

92
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 3: for granted because of what's happened to him since he

93
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 3: won that sixth title in twenty nineteen, it does become

94
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 3: a process of all right, if I get this, then

95
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 3: i'll be this far in a head, and so on

96
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 3: and so forth. You start running the numbers at this point.

97
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 3: There are a lot of stats that came out of

98
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 3: the weekend that you can just sort of gloss over.

99
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 3: But I did save two for you because I thought

100
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 3: you'd like both of them. One. You probably already worked

101
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 3: this out. He's already scored more points this year that

102
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 3: he scored last year. There's nine rounds to go, he's

103
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 3: already scored more points he did in twenty twenty four.

104
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 3: The other thing that's absolutely staggering, there's only actually nine

105
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 3: people now that mathematically cad win the World Championship. So

106
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 3: if Mark took the rest of the year off, it's

107
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 3: only the eight guys behind him that there's only enough

108
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 3: points left for the eight guys behind him to actually

109
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 3: win the championship. Everybody else is already eliminated from championship contention,

110
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 3: and it's August. It does show you the sort of

111
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 3: season that he's having. But I'm a bit like you, like,

112
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 3: no matter when it is that he gets this thing

113
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 3: wrapped up. Towards the back end of the year, there

114
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 3: will be a race and a track somewhere where he

115
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 3: won't have to sort of go against his instincts. I

116
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 3: guess I kind of feel sometimes at the moment that

117
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 3: he's kind of having a conversation with himself, like, you

118
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 3: don't need to do this, you don't need to do this.

119
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 3: Once the championship is done, then we'll be able to

120
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 3: see him completely unleashed. And the way things are going right,

121
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 3: I don't think we're going to have a live championship

122
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 3: by the time we get to Philip Island. But we

123
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 3: might see Mark unleashed at Philip Island. Now that with

124
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 3: no championship permutations to think about, could be a lot

125
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 3: of fun because you know, at the moment we don't

126
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,239
Speaker 3: actually know how fast he is, because he's just fast

127
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 3: enough to win Grand Prix. How fast is he actually

128
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 3: we might find out at the end of the year.

129
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 4: I think you smack bang on with that.

130
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: I think you know, if your listeners, if you're at

131
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: home on the couch, bring your friends, bring your friends,

132
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: are family over making an event because I think we're

133
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: going to see an incredible Mark Marquez at Philip Island,

134
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: and if you're lucky enough to be there as well,

135
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: then what a race that's going to be. But let's

136
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: go back to Duke Caddy, because yes, Mark celebrating happy days.

137
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 1: Peko Banyaya sad face, he's just nowhere. And I think

138
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: when you were talking about Betzechi, just before you know Betzeki,

139
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: Mark passed him. Betzecki gave it back straight away. You

140
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: see it with Peco, Mark passes him, he kind of

141
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: tries and then he just dropped back. But this weekend

142
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: he just dropped back and he just dropped back now

143
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,679
Speaker 1: we know we had that trouble on Saturday's sprint though,

144
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: where I think he was blaming the tire right because,

145
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,239
Speaker 1: like I mentioned in the preview, there was that weird

146
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: slide with him in Furman off the start line where

147
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: they just kind of slid across the start line.

148
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 4: So lucky there was no incident there. But even on

149
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 4: Sunday Peko.

150
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: He's struggling. I don't know how else to explain it.

151
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: He's mentally and physically defeated.

152
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 3: I feel like, yeah, I mean, look the sprint, I'm

153
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 3: almost prepared to write a line through because he had

154
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 3: the crazy slide off the start. There was clearly something

155
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 3: going on with the tyre. He ran really deep into

156
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 3: turn one and just parked it. In the end, you

157
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 3: can rule the line under that. The thing with the

158
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 3: grown There's this pattern with him now right in that

159
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 3: he's generally qualifying okay about where you would expect him,

160
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 3: and he out qualified his team mate that that was

161
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 3: decent in Austria, and we know that's a track he's

162
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 3: been really good at in the past. He starts reasonably well,

163
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 3: he's pretty feisty in the first couple of laps, but

164
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 3: then once he sort of gets overtaken for the first time,

165
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 3: like sort of four or five laps in. It almost

166
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 3: feels like he does the big sigh and he's kind

167
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 3: of just resigned to his fate at that point. And

168
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 3: never at any point when he sort of got knocked

169
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 3: back from second or third. Never at any point did

170
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 3: you think, oh, it's all right, he'll come back, this

171
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 3: will be fine, he'll launch some attacks on people. The

172
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 3: thing that was a bit stark for me, and this

173
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 3: is like a two time world champion. I almost felt

174
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 3: that he was getting bullied on Sunday like the past

175
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 3: that in the second last corner that Acosta and Aldegare

176
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 3: put on him when they went through at the same time.

177
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 3: That was worderline disrespectful for a two time world champion

178
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 3: just to get bullied like that. But I think Peco

179
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 3: at the moment is maybe they feel that he can

180
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 3: almost kind of be picked on a little bit because

181
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,679
Speaker 3: his body language, everything that he says, he sounds super

182
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 3: defeated to me. And what was so interesting was that

183
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 3: we know that the relationship with him and Docatti's just

184
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 3: been absolutely rock solid, right as you would expect because

185
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 3: he's either won the championship or been runner up for

186
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 3: the past four years. There's a Dacadie's thrilled because they

187
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 3: bet the house on Mark Marquees and it's coming home

188
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 3: in spades for them. That decision to choose Marquez over

189
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 3: Juge Martine effectively last year, that's paid itself off many,

190
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 3: many times over already. There's a sense of frustration with

191
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 3: Banyaya now, and I think on both sides, Like Banaia

192
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 3: said after the race, you know, I need some answers

193
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 3: for this, and you get the sense that Gjacadie are like, look,

194
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 3: we're hurting this thing upside down. We're doing every possible thing.

195
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 3: You've been amazing for us, but can we just get

196
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 3: on with this please. There's a sense of frustration with

197
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 3: all of this, and I suspect that he's so in

198
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 3: his own head now, not necessarily because he can't beat Mark,

199
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 3: because I think he's really stick enough to know that

200
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 3: nobody can beat Mark, but the fact that he can't

201
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 3: get close to being the writer that we've seen over

202
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 3: the pa past few years. I don't see how that

203
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 3: changes in the next nine rounds because clearly the bike

204
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 3: and him just haven't worked. So something needs to change

205
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 3: for next year, does the machinery change or just heat change,

206
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 3: And so there's this growing frustration here. I don't think

207
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 3: there's some split that's going to happen anytime soon, but

208
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 3: imagine if we're still having this conversation in twelve months time,

209
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 3: and it's been twelve eighteen months of this the I

210
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 3: cannot quite get my head around. You add the sprints

211
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 3: and the Grand Prix together. This year, Mark Marcus has

212
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 3: won twenty one races. Peko's won one race, and that

213
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 3: was gifted to him because Mark crashed from the lead

214
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 3: in Kota. And when we were talking about this amazing

215
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 3: partnership between Marquees and Banjo and oh, it's going to

216
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 3: be so exciting and there'll be so much tension because

217
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 3: it's going to be close and it's going to be brilliant.

218
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 3: Mark's walking into Pecko's team. Of all the storylines we

219
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 3: thought were going to happen this year, it just hasn't

220
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 3: happened because Mark's been Mark and Peko's just been an

221
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 3: absolute shell of who he's been for the past couple

222
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 3: of years. I'd personally love to see him pick it

223
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 3: up because having those two fight for meaningful things is

224
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 3: a storyline that Motor GP could use right now, but

225
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 3: it seems like an absolute pipe dream. He seems completely

226
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 3: lost to finish eighth at a track where but I

227
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 3: think I worked it out before last weekend he had

228
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 3: not led for one lap in three years in Austria

229
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two to twenty four. I think he'd led

230
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 3: all but one lap in the Grand Prix's there, and

231
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 3: he finished eighth, and he's behind three ktms and he's

232
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 3: behind a rookie on a Ducati. Like it's hard to

233
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 3: see how it gets worse.

234
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: Makes me think next year they're going to go on

235
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: to as seeing in parentheses, a GP twenty six if

236
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: we don't even know if they're really on a GP

237
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: twenty five, but it's a GP twenty four plus whatever, Matt,

238
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 1: because you know the rules and everything inside out, and

239
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking off this my head. Here, is there

240
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: a way that Peco could possibly go back to that

241
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: GP twenty four because there's no point in them changing

242
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: too much before the twenty seven rules come in.

243
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 3: Right Yeah, And that's and that's the conundrum, right, like

244
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 3: do you make wholes changes to what should be an

245
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 3: evolution of this year's bike to go back to something

246
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,599
Speaker 3: that appeas is one rider, when every single piece of

247
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 3: it's going in the bin for twenty twenty seven anyway,

248
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 3: for Dicati and for everybody else. That's the problem with this.

249
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 3: I think the interesting part about it is that, and

250
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 3: you know the riders will never talk about this, but

251
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 3: the twenty four, as in last year's tocaty, still seems

252
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 3: like the better bike. And I say this in that

253
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 3: Furman Aldegere is finishing on podiums and he's been and

254
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 3: he's a rookie and he's been inconsistent, but he's still

255
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 3: riding what is probably the most manageable bike to ride

256
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 3: on the grid. And Alex Marques is having by far

257
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 3: the best season of his career on a GP twenty four.

258
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 3: I don't know if the twenty five is better than

259
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 3: the twenty four. It probably isn't, but it also shows

260
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 3: you how good Marquees is. Like you wonder to see

261
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 3: yourself right now. Imagine if you had Mark on Alex's bike,

262
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 3: or Aldegerz bike or Morbidelli's bike on the twenty four,

263
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 3: which is clearly a championship winning machine, what would he

264
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 3: be doing to everybody on that bike? So that's the

265
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 3: curiosity for me in that it's not as easy as

266
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 3: just saying O Peko will just basically give you last

267
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 3: year's bike with some new stickers on it and off

268
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 3: you go. What was interesting? You probably picked up on

269
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 3: this in the post script for Austria. There's the Massano

270
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 3: test coming up, and it sounds like Bannaya's angling to

271
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 3: try and get some laps out of twenty four and

272
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 3: that'll answer the question once and for all. Is it

273
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 3: me that can't ride this twenty five? And because I

274
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 3: was so used to how good the twenty four was,

275
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 3: or is there something else happening here? He needs to

276
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 3: almost like back to back them to see what the

277
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 3: feeling is. Maybe there'll be something on the twenty four

278
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 3: and go, oh it does this that the twenty five

279
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 3: doesn't do it, and they'll be able to make a

280
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 3: change because you have to think, like the last time

281
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 3: Peco wrote at twenty four was at the end of

282
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 3: last year. There's several riders in that decade stable that

283
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 3: never De jan Antonio has never written a twenty four.

284
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 3: He went from the twenty three to the twenty five,

285
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 3: as did Mark coming from Grassini, so it'd be super

286
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 3: interesting if he gets his way, gets a chance to

287
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 3: try the twenty four at Massano, and then if that

288
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 3: unlocks something that he's been missing, because I actually think

289
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 3: silly as it sounds, for two time world champion, he's

290
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 3: kind of underrated. He's an incredibly good rider when things

291
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 3: are right. We've seen that he didn't lose last year's

292
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 3: World Championship because he was slow. He lost last year's

293
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 3: World Championship because he was He crashed him many times

294
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 3: from positions of advantage. There's a great rider in there.

295
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 3: We've seen that for the best part of four years.

296
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 3: But he's just completely a well at the moment. And

297
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 3: I think it's more it's less the fact that Mark's

298
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 3: beating him and he's in his own head about Mark.

299
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 3: Then he's in his own head about why can't I

300
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 3: make this bike work.

301
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 1: I think you mentioned the Morbidelli and that's one thing

302
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: that I was thinking of the weekend is how much

303
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 1: would it be playing on Peco's mind if this is

304
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: something he'd even consider as the fact of Like, Morbidelli's

305
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: on the GP twenty four and he's not doing anything

306
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: with it, but then Pecko's on this bike and still

307
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: struggling is like going, well, you've got this bike, why

308
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: are you not doing it? And if that is like

309
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: he's playing, But I think he kind of answered the

310
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: question there with what you're saying is if he can

311
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: get this test and he can make those comparisons to

312
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: figure out what that wants percent is because we posted

313
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: an interview with Casey and Casey was saying that, you know,

314
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 1: Pecker and Christian have a really good working relationship at

315
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: your Caddy. So whatever it is that they're missing, they

316
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: will find it, but it's just taking a lot longer

317
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: than what they anticipated.

318
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 3: Well, and until Picco actually gets his way and gets

319
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 3: the chance to ride this twenty four, everything that you

320
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 3: think is different between the twenty four and five is

321
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 3: purely speculative because you haven't ridden the twenty four for

322
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 3: so long. If you were to ride the two different

323
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 3: bikes on the same day, which you can do at

324
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 3: a test, obviously there will be all right on this day.

325
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 3: At this point in time, I know that I like

326
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 3: a B and C on the twenty twenty four bike better.

327
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 3: Can we make some changes to try and get aspects

328
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 3: of the twenty five bike more like that? And then

329
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 3: if that doesn't unlock the performance that he's missing, then

330
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 3: at least you've tried it. At the moment, it's purely speculative.

331
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 3: He actually needs data and he needs feeling right now

332
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 3: to be able to properly back to back these things.

333
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 3: So it sort of shapes as a bit of a

334
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 3: I mean, look, this season's gone. It's not a key

335
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 3: moment for this season, but it's more what does it

336
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 3: mean for the end of this season leading into next

337
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 3: because I almost see twenty five and twenty six is

338
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 3: like being one long season over two years, because the

339
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 3: rules are pretty much the same, and you know, no

340
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 3: one's really moving around. Everyone's looking for twenty seven. If

341
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 3: he wants to be competitive next year, that's got to

342
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 3: start now, and then maybe that starts after Masano if

343
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 3: he gets a chance to test the twenty four.

344
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: Again, from a sad note to a little bit of

345
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: a happy hour one, let's talk about how other podium places.

346
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: So we've mentioned Mark, we've mentioned but Zechi, you said

347
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: furman Aldeger who had this incredible like mid to late

348
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: race pace that for a second there looked like he

349
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: was going to really charge Mark.

350
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 4: Then pedia A Costa also.

351
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: Managed to get on the sprint podium on Saturday for KTM.

352
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: So let's touch on Katim.

353
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 2: Because they're a mixed back at the moment, aren't they.

354
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: You see Pedro saying, oh, we're making the progress and

355
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: we're heading in the right direction, and.

356
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 2: Then you hear Brad Binda just go squea kend Liz terrible.

357
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 3: It's interesting with them in that I feel that the

358
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 3: you know, the start of the we know they had

359
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 3: their financial issues and there was development late to the

360
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 3: bike and so on and so forth. You felt that

361
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 3: a Costa was getting pretty much everything out of that bike,

362
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 3: or pretty much anything it had to provide at that point.

363
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 3: And you know, we'd go weeks and you go, oh

364
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 3: and Aabastian and he's on the grid. I haven't seen

365
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 3: him for three weeks because he was so far down

366
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 3: the back. I think you can see how that is

367
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 3: getting better now, because yes, a cost has been up

368
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 3: there the last couple of races. Bruno, he was good,

369
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 3: fourth in the Grand Prix here, third in the podium

370
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 3: in Austria. But you look up and you go, huh

371
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 3: and Aabastian and he's in the top five. Brad Benders

372
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 3: in the top seven. So It shows you that things

373
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 3: are getting better because there's more of their riders that

374
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 3: are doing more with it. Now we know Maverick Vinielle

375
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 3: is injured, so he didn't get to We didn't get

376
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 3: to see what he was going to do there. The

377
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 3: only thing I'd slightly caveat that with it's my asterisk,

378
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 3: which is not useful in an audio podcast. But I

379
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,479
Speaker 3: would say Austria is such a random circuit, right, It's

380
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 3: not like anywhere else on the calendar. So I don't

381
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 3: know if three ktms in the top seven in Austria

382
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 3: is like some sort of Okay, this is what they're

383
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 3: going to do now every other track because there's kind

384
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 3: of nowhere else. Like the Red Bull Ring, it is

385
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 3: a complete one of one. It plays massively to Katium

386
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 3: has enormous straight line speed. We know that, and you

387
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 3: look at that Austrian layer. It's basically four gigantic strakes

388
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 3: with a bit of a quigly bit in the middle.

389
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 3: There's not much to it. It's a bit of an

390
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 3: oversized go kart track in a lot of respects. So

391
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 3: how's that going to translate when you get to more

392
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 3: fast and flowing tracks, how's that going to translate to

393
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 3: somewhere like Messano, which tends to be a pretty good

394
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 3: bell weather for what a lot of these bikes can do.

395
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 3: So definitely better than it was a costa. He's certainly

396
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 3: not holding back a costa. Like watching him in qualifying

397
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 3: at the moment and watching him on the opening laps

398
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 3: of a race. He is absolutely taking no prisoners, which

399
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 3: I kind of enjoy. It's been good, good fun.

400
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it makes it a bit more exciting.

401
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,719
Speaker 3: Right, Well, he's absolutely going to make you have an

402
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 3: uncomfortable moment in a past like he will not care.

403
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 3: He will put the bike somewhere and then you can

404
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 3: just decide how hard you want to fight him. But

405
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 3: he's putting it there, that's what he's going to do.

406
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 3: So yeah, super fisty, which I like, and good to

407
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 3: see them. Certainly it's an important race for them, right

408
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 3: Austrian GP, red Bull branding all over the bike. Good

409
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 3: weekend for them. I need almost like I need more

410
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 3: of a sample size to believe that they're kind of back.

411
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 3: But you'd have to say that there's this quite clear

412
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 3: hierarchy at the moment, and I'm going to set you

413
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 3: up for what this is referred to as a professional

414
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 3: segue in the business, because you've got Tocaddie in step one.

415
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,239
Speaker 3: Aprili is clearly the next best. Katiem I think is

416
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 3: pretty much the third best now, not as good as

417
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 3: a Prillier, but better than everybody else. Honda is looking

418
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 3: quite good. We probably should talk about your mirror at

419
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 3: one point. And then in Austria you had Yamaha. I

420
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 3: do believe that will be on your run sheet, so

421
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 3: why don't we go there?

422
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 4: You hit the nail on the head. That was the

423
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 4: next thing.

424
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: I was going to say, let's go from a high

425
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: to a low, because why not Yamaha. Holy cra Yeah,

426
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: that's literally what can you say is holy crabby? Even

427
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: Fabio Cordoriro's post race de reef, I've taken nothing from

428
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: this weekend And you wrote in your article this quote

429
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: from Jack Miller. We prosted part of it on socials

430
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:06,199
Speaker 1: and he's just going I tried everything and there was

431
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 1: nothing like what could they do?

432
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 2: This was just it was out of a horror movie.

433
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 3: The other I listened to all the post race deve

434
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 3: briefs and the three words that stuck out to me,

435
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 3: Quaaterero said, ridiculous and useless, and Miguel Olivera said irrelevant,

436
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,959
Speaker 3: and I thought that was that. I mean, Miguel's more

437
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 3: one of you, more sort of genial riders, and he

438
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 3: always comes up with a good soundbit. I thought that

439
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 3: was a pretty cutting comment. But this is how horrific

440
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 3: this was. All four Yamahas were in the bottom five

441
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 3: in qualifying. Three Yamahas were the last three finishes in

442
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 3: the sprint, and all four Yamahas were the last four

443
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 3: finishes in the Grand Prix. Kuaaterero fell into a point

444
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 3: because some other people retired in front of him. He

445
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 3: was six seconds behind the worst non Yamaha, which was Ayagura.

446
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 3: He was twenty five seconds behind Mark Marquez in a

447
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 3: twenty eight lap race. He was the only Yamaha rider

448
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,239
Speaker 3: that wasn't a second to lapse lower than Mark. And

449
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 3: that's not Mark pushing. And we're talking about Austria being

450
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 3: a one off track. It's every Yamaha technician's nightmare. The

451
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 3: bike doesn't have straight line speed. It really struggles to

452
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 3: get out of slow speed corners after heavy breaking, which

453
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 3: is all Austria is. It's just point and squirt point

454
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 3: and squirt point and squirt Jack was saying that he'd

455
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 3: get up to one hundred and twenty one hundred and

456
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 3: thirty k's an hour and the thing would just be

457
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 3: spinning as you're going up through the gears. OLIVERA was

458
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 3: saying he was still spinning in six gear, and so

459
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 3: there's absolutely no rear grip. They have a special tire

460
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 3: for Austria because of how hectic the acceleration is there.

461
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 3: They only use it there in Thailand, and so all

462
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 3: the Amaha was doing was just spitting its guts out

463
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 3: every single time it came out of a corner, and

464
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 3: you could just see how gently they were trying to

465
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 3: feed the power in, but it didn't make any difference

466
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 3: at all. It was utterly miserable. I think the only

467
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 3: salvation for them is that we know it's a really

468
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 3: good bikes still on flowing circuits. We know that it's

469
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 3: a bike good enough three races previously for Quatrero to

470
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 3: be on pole. So it's a particular type of circuit,

471
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 3: but you add all the variables there, circuit layout, hard tire,

472
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 3: no top end, can't get out of a slow speed corner.

473
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 3: It was almost like they were in this other category.

474
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 3: It's like they just let four Mota two bikes on

475
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 3: the grid. It was absolutely grim. I think the only

476
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 3: thing that's good about it, if you can use the

477
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 3: word good here is I think I wrote this. I'm

478
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 3: trying to remember the number now. I think those four

479
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 3: riders that they have Yamaha of one about twenty five

480
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 3: Grand Prix between them, Like, you're not talking about a

481
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 3: bunch of rookies and no hopers here, and they're all

482
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 3: in the same part of the racetrack, all struggling with

483
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 3: the same problems. So this is not a rider problem.

484
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 3: This is an equipment problem, and it's something that if

485
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 3: there was another Austrian Grand Prix this week, or a

486
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 3: circuit like it, then you'd be terrified as Yamahar as

487
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 3: to what you were going to get. There's nowhere quite

488
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 3: like Austria. It's not been as bad as this all year,

489
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 3: and I don't think it'll be as bad as this

490
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 3: in the future. But if you ever wanted a snapshot

491
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 3: of Honda need to sorry, what Yamaha need to do

492
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 3: to get this bike up to front running speed watch

493
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 3: the Austrian Grand Prix. Maybe with your fingers over your eyes.

494
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 3: If you're a higher engineer because it was pretty grim,

495
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 3: but it was just hopelessly. I was just you're just

496
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 3: looking at the lap times, going how were these things

497
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 3: this slow? But they were all this slow, So there's

498
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 3: nothing to do with any of the four riders. You'd

499
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 3: have to say.

500
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: I'm really glad you pointed that out, because I feel

501
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: like sometimes for listeners it's so easy to quickly point

502
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: fingers or fans going, you know, Jack Miller, look at

503
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 1: him and he was second last, or wherever you finished

504
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 1: on the weekend. It's really good that you point out,

505
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: actually it was all for yamahas And I think in

506
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: your article I remember reading a quote from Jack saying,

507
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 1: you know, a few weekends ago, Fabio put this bike

508
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: on pole, like you said, and now.

509
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 2: We're all in the bottom of QQ.

510
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 1: One, So how are we meant to how are we

511
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: meant to ride around here? And I think it's kind

512
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: of calling from what a lot of I'm reading online

513
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: is when the new engine coming for Yamaha, is this

514
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,479
Speaker 1: going to kind of fix that problem?

515
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 4: Because is that the.

516
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: Only real variable as to why they are struggling so

517
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 1: much at a circuit like this when everyone else SEMs

518
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: to be does that jump better.

519
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 4: Right.

520
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 3: I don't think it's the only varia. I don't think

521
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 3: it's the only variabil. It is a variable.

522
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 2: Right.

523
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 3: We know that Yamaha is the only brand that runs

524
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 3: you in line for since Zuki left at the end

525
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 3: of twenty twenty two. It's not the It's not like

526
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 3: the magic bullet for your problems. Right. You don't just

527
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 3: get a V four and suddenly everything's fine. What I suspect, well,

528
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 3: what you'd love them to do is to say, well,

529
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 3: we've got this V four project. It's bubbling away in

530
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 3: the wings. It's not quite ready yet. But Yamaha in

531
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 3: the past has tended to be let's make sure until

532
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 3: it's one hundred and fifteen percent bulletproof ready before we

533
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 3: bring it in. I'm not sure what you've got to

534
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 3: lose at this point by at least running saying even

535
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 3: if you just run Gosto Fernandez in a couple of

536
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 3: races as a wildcard, or you even give someone like

537
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 3: Kuaturra and say, look, we'll give you the option if

538
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 3: you want to try this. I don't think they can

539
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 3: go into twenty twenty six with questions as to whether

540
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 3: the V four is the way to go. I think

541
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 3: they need those questions to have been answered already, and

542
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 3: then they make the decision. It's like, well, we're going

543
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 3: to race in twenty six with the V four, so

544
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 3: at least we're the same as everybody else, and you've

545
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 3: got like for like comparison. At the moment, we don't

546
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 3: know if it's purely an engine issue, because you know,

547
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,360
Speaker 3: it's just a variable. It's not the only variable. Yeah,

548
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 3: this V four thing might not quite be ready yet,

549
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 3: but what better way to maybe fast track the development

550
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 3: of it. Let's just get it out there, even if

551
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 3: we're running it with a wildcard or a test writer,

552
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 3: and let's see what happens, because you're never going to know. Now.

553
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 3: I guess from Yamaha's point of view, it's an utter

554
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 3: disaster from a pr perspective if you put the thing

555
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 3: out there and it's horribly slow, or it's unreliable, or

556
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 3: it blows up or whatever it is. But I don't

557
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 3: see how you're going to get the answer on to

558
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 3: whether this is the way to go or not unless

559
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 3: you actually try to do it. Again, we're talking before

560
00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 3: about theoretical versus actual. In the case of Banyaya, you've

561
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 3: just got to buy the bullet and go for it.

562
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 3: And if this is the thing they've got to be

563
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,719
Speaker 3: careful of. He is Quaaterero's their prize assets. You know,

564
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 3: he's a top I wrote this the other day. To

565
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 3: my mind, he's a top three writer on the grid. Still,

566
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 3: he's an absolute a lister. The last thing you want

567
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 3: to do as a company. I know, Fabio has been

568
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 3: there for a very very long time. He's your biggest asset,

569
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 3: and you want to keep him engaged and happy and

570
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 3: motivated and ready to push this project forward because he's

571
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 3: going to get super richy feet right if this doesn't

572
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 3: work out for him. He's been there for a really

573
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 3: long time. Yes, he's been loyal. Yes he's also been

574
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 3: massively paid for the results that he's been getting. But

575
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 3: this thing, it's been three years and so what a race? Right,

576
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 3: every other manufacturer's won a race in that three year period,

577
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 3: including some that aren't even on the grid anymore, and

578
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 3: so something needs to change there philosophically for them to

579
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 3: take a leap forward. Otherwise they are literally and metaphorically

580
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 3: like they were in Austria. They're just spinning the wheels,

581
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 3: going up and down on the same spot, don't they Yeah.

582
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 4: I think you hit the nail on the head.

583
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: My only worry I'm going to say worry is the

584
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: word is for Yamaha. Is they're going to bring on

585
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: Gusso Fernandez in and if they're going to test this engine,

586
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 1: they're going to.

587
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 4: Do it at Mategi in Japan.

588
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: And I don't necessarily think that's the right sorry not

589
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: test it bring it in as.

590
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 4: A wild card.

591
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the right circuit even to

592
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: kind of see if it compares two what else is

593
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: out on the field right now?

594
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 3: You know, Well, the thing with Motegi is you know

595
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 3: it's going to rain at least one of the three

596
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 3: days because it always does, because it's Motigai in September

597
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 3: or October. So I agree with you on that front.

598
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 3: You know, it would be interesting, and who knows whether

599
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 3: they've got the resource to do this. We go back

600
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 3: to this Mesano test. What if all four of the

601
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 3: riders had a chance to actually ride the thing at

602
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 3: a test and they again we're talking about comparing it

603
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 3: to what they've already got. That to me seems like

604
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 3: a more realistic thing to do. Let's get the race

605
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,479
Speaker 3: riders on this bike at a test. You don't have

606
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 3: to tell everyone what you're riding and where you're riding it,

607
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 3: what the settings are and all that. You do all

608
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 3: that in the background, but at least you get them

609
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 3: out there and you've got four really experienced heads who've

610
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 3: won a lot of Grand Prix between them, and they

611
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 3: can say this part of the engine is better, this

612
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 3: part of the engine is worse. This is where we

613
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 3: need to focus on. This is an improvement, to at

614
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 3: least show them that you're doing absolutely everything behind the

615
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 3: scenes to try and get this right. I don't think

616
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 3: future weekends are going to be as grim as Austria was,

617
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 3: But if you're Yamaha, you just can't have weekends like

618
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 3: Austria because it was, you know, some of the words

619
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 3: that quadraro us were a little bit lighter. I mean

620
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,479
Speaker 3: it was frankly, it was embarrassing what they were doing

621
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 3: on the weekend.

622
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, it definitely definitely was. But let's go over to

623
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: someone who didn't have an embarrassing weekend and we've got

624
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: to give him a shout out.

625
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 4: Juan Mia, finish your race, top ten, congratch one. I'm

626
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 4: giving you a big round.

627
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: Of applause here because this is like a milestone for him,

628
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: and I know we shouldn't be like taking the mickey

629
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: and everything, but not at all celebrating the fact that he.

630
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 4: Actually finished a race.

631
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: And when I thought was really cool is we actually

632
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 1: saw him on the broadcast and the cameras were actually

633
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: showing and I could I really see how much those

634
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: Hondas were struggling with the front end going into the

635
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 1: corner and the different line that he's really having to take.

636
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: This is the first time I could see in a

637
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: real race situation. I can't remember who he is around,

638
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure as a KTM and did you Caddy

639
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 1: at this point, and they're taking fairly similar lines because

640
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: they basically look like the same bike from the front

641
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 1: now and then you see the Honda coming in and

642
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 1: it's totally different and no wonder like it makes sense.

643
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was incredibly good. I have two notes in

644
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 3: my notes here for as you aren't Yah. One, he

645
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 3: didn't get knocked off the track by anybody else. That's

646
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 3: always a bonus. That's his second best result since he's

647
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 3: been at Honda. If you can believe that he finished

648
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 3: fifth in India in twenty twenty three. That's how long

649
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 3: it's been. And this wasn't a sixth place that owed

650
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 3: itself to a bunch of people falling off or he

651
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 3: got lucky or this all that happened. He kind of

652
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 3: was having this weekend at Bruno where he qualified really

653
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 3: well and they got punted by Alex Marquez and the

654
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 3: race there, and it's the latest in a long list

655
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 3: of incredibly bad luck for him. Really good ride, super

656
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 3: super good ride, best honder over the course of the weekend,

657
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 3: really impressive. We know that thing's not brilliant in the

658
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 3: straight line, so you talk about the lines he was

659
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 3: having to take to try and fight with ktms and

660
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 3: to caddies, but fair play to him, and he would

661
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 3: just be so relieved that he actually saw the checkered

662
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 3: flag from the track and not watching it back in

663
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 3: the box after someone had punted him. So yeah, good

664
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 3: news story, and there's a good writer in there, and

665
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 3: you know he never stops trying. It was just nice

666
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 3: to see that he actually got some reward for that.

667
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: And nice to see Raoul Fernandez as well on the

668
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: track house that privily are up closer to the front.

669
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: Nice to see like one of the satellite teams and

670
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: also like the privately owned team a little bit closer

671
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: to the front. We know I is really struggling at

672
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: the moment. But apart from that rear right height device

673
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: malfunction that was too often, I mean, Raoul's fighting for

674
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: that top ten and top five position.

675
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 4: Now.

676
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 3: It's interesting in that, you know, if you looked at

677
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 3: his career, it kind of feels like his story has

678
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 3: been written by now. You know, it's like, well, this

679
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 3: is who this guy is. He's been good. I reckon

680
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,719
Speaker 3: he's been good for about the last four or five rounds.

681
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 3: He's making me reassess. I don't think he's ever going

682
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 3: to be the rider that we saw him in Moto two.

683
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 3: We're so awesome as a rookie. It's like, Wow, this

684
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 3: guy could come into Motor GP and be anything. It's

685
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 3: never quite materialized. But I don't think it's I don't

686
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 3: think you can just sort of put him in the

687
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 3: hopeless basket either. There's clearly a decent rider in there.

688
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 3: The bike is getting better, he's starting to get some

689
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 3: better results, and I think the thing that's really interesting

690
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:28,959
Speaker 3: here and this is where Mark is making the difference

691
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 3: at the moment, it feels like the field is sort

692
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 3: of compressing a little bit in that it's not just

693
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 3: the Dakati companymore in that. Yeah, okay, we've had Dakati's

694
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 3: a winning lots of races because they employ Mark Marquez,

695
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,479
Speaker 3: but you look at the variety of guys scrapping for podiums. Now,

696
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 3: we talked about Bazeki, you mentioned a Costa before, probably

697
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 3: is going a lot better. Juam is finishing in the

698
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 3: top six, Yamaha has had pole positions this year. It's

699
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 3: good in that it's not just Dakatti's one, two, three, four, five, six,

700
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 3: which is what it was at the start of the year,

701
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 3: which is really interesting. You can go back to like

702
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 3: Thailand when you were there, it was so who's going

703
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 3: to finish seventh? Because that's kind of what it felt like. So, yeah,

704
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 3: we're getting the same guy winning a lot of the

705
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 3: races because he's one of the greatest that's ever done it.

706
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 3: What's going on behind him? It feels like it's a

707
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 3: nice changing picture week on week, and this is what

708
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 3: we want to see. We don't mind if there's one

709
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 3: rider or manufacturer that's winning stuff, but we just don't

710
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 3: want the same race every weekend where unless you're on

711
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 3: a to Caddy you've got absolutely no chance. That's what

712
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 3: it felt like last year. Right now, the other podium

713
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 3: places to me feel super open, and that's what you

714
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 3: want because you get interesting races.

715
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 4: I'm really glad you brought that up because it made

716
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 4: me think.

717
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: When we spoke to Chris, my brother on the pod,

718
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: and it's pointed to him, is this the time where

719
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: we're going to start to see that separation happen? And

720
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: I think he was like, no, I think it's going

721
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: to take a little while longer. And then you mentioning that,

722
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: it's like going, okay, well, yeah, there's not that big

723
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: of a separation. I've had Marks in his own league.

724
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: But everybody else is there now, All the other manufacturers

725
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: are in it. It's not just to Caddy and the rest.

726
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 3: And this is where it gets interesting, right because we

727
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 3: talked about twenty five and twenty six sort of being

728
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,959
Speaker 3: one long season over two years. Next year, there will

729
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 3: come a point where all these factories will start to

730
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 3: focus much more on the new rule set than the

731
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 3: current rule set. Right, it makes sense. Why would you

732
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 3: invest a heap of time and resource of money into

733
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 3: something that's going to be obsolete in a few months time.

734
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 3: And often in any sort of motor sport, when you

735
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 3: get a mature rule set and a mature set of

736
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 3: regulations that's been going for a while, everyone kind of

737
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 3: converges on this one way of how you need to

738
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 3: go fast. It happens in Formula one all the time

739
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 3: before rule resets. It's happening here as well. I actually

740
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 3: think we could get a really quite competitive season next

741
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 3: year for second place. And I say that because if

742
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 3: Mark is upright and writing a decade and being Mark Marquez,

743
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 3: then we're probably going to see a continuation of that.

744
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 3: But I thought Austria was interesting in that I don't

745
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 3: think you would have picked necessarily and Aldegaer Berzeki two

746
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 3: to three in that Grand Prix after Friday. Bizeki was

747
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 3: in Q one and Aldegaer, you know, he's not brilliant

748
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 3: in qualifying and he's not over one lap. He's fantastic

749
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 3: at the end of races, and so the fight for

750
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 3: the minor places is certainly interesting at the moment. And

751
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 3: you say, well, I mean I used to see some

752
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 3: different guys win, but it's better than sixty caddies finishing one, two, three, four,

753
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 3: five six. Because they're docaddies, it's at least some variety

754
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 3: for us.

755
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: Variety is definitely a word that we can say to

756
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,719
Speaker 1: talk about. The next subject I wanted to bring up

757
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: because it looks like Diogo Morrera is going to Honda.

758
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: Now there's a lot of rumors that he was going

759
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: to go to Pramac Yamha, but Matt, I feel like

760
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: you've got.

761
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 4: Some juicy goss for us on this.

762
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 2: So what do you know about the Morrera Moto GP

763
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:36,959
Speaker 2: move for next season?

764
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 3: It sounds like there's he's got offers from Yamaha and Honda,

765
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 3: and it looks like the Honda deal is going to

766
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 3: be the one that gets over the line because it

767
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 3: looks like it's longer three years instead of two, so

768
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 3: that takes him across these two rule sets, and he's

769
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 3: also going to get full factory status. The interesting thing

770
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 3: for me is that I always thought that that second

771
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 3: seat at ELSIR was kind of closed off because it

772
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 3: was dependent on having a rider from Southeast Asia to

773
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 3: keep the Iomitzu sponsorship. And we know that Lucio chechenelated

774
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 3: doesn't mind a sponsor dollarphant he do when you're running

775
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:11,280
Speaker 3: a privateer team. It seems like Somkhat Chantra was clearly

776
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 3: promoted too early and he wasn't ready and it's not

777
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 3: worked at all, and he's currently injured and he scored

778
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 3: one point for the entire season. It sounds like they're

779
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 3: prepared to not have that Idamitzu money that they've had

780
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 3: with Chantra and Nakagami before him to get Marera in there.

781
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 3: The interesting part for me is that Brazil we know

782
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 3: is going to have a Grand Prix next year. They're

783
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 3: back on the calendar. You can't tell me that signing

784
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 3: Marera for a privateer Honda team is not going to

785
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:42,839
Speaker 3: bring an incredible amount of commercial interest from Brazil. I'm

786
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 3: not sure if you're familiar with the brand Petro brass

787
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 3: it's the state owned Brazilian petroleum company that every single

788
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 3: time a Brazilian driver's been in Formula One, there's been

789
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 3: Petro Brustick is stuck on the side of those cars.

790
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 3: So that could be your financial shortfall if you're losing Iamitsu,

791
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,280
Speaker 3: don't be surprised if we see some Petro bruss Because

792
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 3: on an Elsie R Honda next year. If Marera is

793
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 3: in there, it's super interesting to get a writer from

794
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 3: a country where I guess it would be like what

795
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 3: Alex Barross or someone was the last Brazilian we had,

796
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 3: that's like, what twenty years ago. It's been a really,

797
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 3: really long time, so that's cool, Like it's nice to

798
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 3: have a different nationality in there. The flow on effect

799
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:22,240
Speaker 3: from this, which reading some reading a couple of stories

800
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 3: from Oriel Pugamont with Autosport, who is almost the bible

801
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 3: on these sorts of things. He's absolutely brilliant at it.

802
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 3: It seems to me that this could be announced as

803
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 3: early as this weekend. Perhaps what that would do is

804
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 3: that means Jack Miller's chances of retaining that second Promac

805
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 3: seat go up massively because they've kept Olivera and Miller

806
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 3: hanging on now for a long time. It was going

807
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 3: to be before the break, and then Jack went off

808
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 3: and did Suzuka for Amahara, and it's still lingering, and

809
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 3: it's still lingering, and they're both frustrated by it. Olivera

810
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 3: sounds more sort of resigned to the fact that he's

811
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 3: probably out to be honest. But if Marera took that

812
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 3: spot at Pramak, then that was kind of it, I

813
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 3: don't think Jack had any other options at all, and

814
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 3: so Jack might sort of fall slightly backwards into a

815
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 3: seat there at Yamaha. But something I mentioned before about

816
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:13,280
Speaker 3: keeping Quadurero happy. If you're developing a V four project

817
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 3: and you've got all these spinning plates in the air

818
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 3: of your Yamaha, you can't tell me that Quataurero is

819
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 3: going to be super thrilled with two rookies in the

820
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 3: Pramac lineup if that was what it was going to

821
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 3: come down. So if it was going to be Rascatlioglu

822
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 3: and Marrera, neither of whom have ridden a motor GP bike,

823
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,760
Speaker 3: neither of who would have experience with the Inline four

824
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 3: or the V four, or the tires or the tracks

825
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 3: and so on and so forth, and then have to

826
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 3: learn it all again for twenty twenty seven when everything changes.

827
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 3: So I think Jack, the reason Jack was hired in

828
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 3: the first place is because he's got experience with all

829
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 3: the other manufacturers. He's been around a long time. We

830
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 3: know he was really influential with Decaddy as a guy

831
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 3: who would test new items, their ride height device and

832
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,919
Speaker 3: so on and so forth. For Quaduro to know there's

833
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 3: an experienced head who's kind of seen and done everything

834
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 3: at this point working in the junior team if you

835
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 3: like the B team be for a short time, but

836
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 3: I think it's probably good for Yamaha to have Jack's

837
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 3: experience still there. Marrera is super impressive, like he's having

838
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 3: a really really good motor two season, absolute class of

839
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 3: the field in Austria, which was a good timing when

840
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 3: you negotiating a contract with Andre I would have thought.

841
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 3: But so we might have an exciting young Brazilian on

842
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 3: the Greed next year and we might still have our

843
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 3: veteran Australian, which for Australian fans sounds like a win win.

844
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:25,320
Speaker 4: So you're seeing this.

845
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: Possibly Jack's not moving to the Factory team like the

846
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: rumors were saying. He might say at Promak and Alex

847
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: Rinz might stay at Monster Rateergy.

848
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 3: It sounds like Palo Paversio was asked about this in

849
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 3: the Friday team principal's press conference in Austria, primarily a sponsor.

850
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 3: I think to the interview that Jack Appleyard did with

851
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 3: us when he mentioned the fact that there was perhaps

852
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,800
Speaker 3: getting a little bit shaky with Alex's tenure there at

853
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 3: the Monster Yamaha team. Pavesio said, no, no, no, Alex will

854
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 3: be staying, which okay, I admire him backing his rider.

855
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 3: There's no statistical sense for that comment. But he's under contract,

856
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 3: and the Japanese factories aren't super aren't super keen on

857
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 3: breaking contracts generally with factory riders, let's be honest. So

858
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 3: it sounds very much like Alex Rings is going to

859
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 3: get a stay of execution. We've had this discussion before.

860
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 3: It's not Alex's fault necessarily, but he's not the writer

861
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 3: that he once was. But it sounds like that avenue

862
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 3: is closed off. But reading the tea leaves here, it

863
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 3: feels that the Miller Pramaha drink there you go. Miller

864
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 3: Pramaha access is going to continue, probably for at least

865
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 3: one more year. What happens for twenty seven interesting right

866
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 3: with Pramak because Rascal Leioglue and this is another thing

867
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 3: that Jack Appleyard said on this podcast. He comes in

868
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 3: with a huge reputation and we're super interested to see

869
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 3: how he's going to go. There's no guarantee it's going

870
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 3: to be good. He's going to be a twenty nine

871
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 3: year old rookie learning how to ride Michelin tires and

872
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,359
Speaker 3: motor GP bikes and a whole bunch of circuits he's

873
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 3: never been on. It might not be that amazing, at

874
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 3: least initially. Or he might just be so talented that

875
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 3: he can get on one of these things and make

876
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 3: it sing from the start. Right now, what's Yamaha's succession plan?

877
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 3: So Alex Reins is out of contract at the end

878
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 3: of twenty six, it's hard to mount a case to

879
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 3: him being retained after that. Then what do Yamaha do

880
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 3: Because they've got the a lister in Quaaterero, the other

881
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 3: seats are a little bit I'm not quite sure what

882
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 3: they're doing with them at the moment. So I don't

883
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 3: think Jack's going to be a motor GP for a

884
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 3: long long time. He's already been in MOTORGP for quite

885
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 3: a while, let's be honest. But I think he still

886
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,359
Speaker 3: has a lot to offer that project for what it

887
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 3: needs right now. And then they'll come a point where

888
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 3: they've moved on and Jack's ready to move on, and

889
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 3: it'll be a mutually a mutually agreeable parting, you might say, So, yeah,

890
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 3: watch this space. I expect the Marera thing probably lobs first,

891
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 3: and then at some point Pramak will say, all right,

892
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 3: well we've got to keep one of our two current writers,

893
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,919
Speaker 3: and the one they probably keep is Jack, So.

894
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: Let's move on to the ossies because it was exciting

895
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,240
Speaker 1: this weekend. We had five ossies on the track.

896
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, which is pretty cool.

897
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 1: To see the Legends parade, the one thousand, one thousandth

898
00:39:57,960 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: sorry because.

899
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 2: That's hard word to say, easy to write.

900
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,919
Speaker 1: Easy to write, exactly, Moroto GP race and they brought

901
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 1: out the Legends Parade and Casey was there. It was

902
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: quite nice to see him back on that repsol Hond delivery.

903
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 4: He's just so iconic as.

904
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: Then Casey in the twenty seven and just to see

905
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,359
Speaker 1: him back on his USC two and three B as.

906
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 3: Well as goosebumps awesome. Yeah, he looks in good Nick Casey.

907
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 3: I know he obviously had some health issues and stuff

908
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 3: over the years, but you forget how gungny still is.

909
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 3: He looks like he could probably get back on the

910
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 3: grid tomorrow and have a crack at it. But how

911
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 3: good was it to see that bike? And is that

912
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 3: funny how your eyes do funny things? Like we were

913
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 3: trying to stop saying Repsol Honda at the beginning of

914
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 3: the year because it wasn't Repsol Honda for the first

915
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 3: time ever. And you see that bike back on track

916
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 3: again and everything just looks right with the world again.

917
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 3: It's just an orange bike. Awesome livery amazing rider on it. Yeah,

918
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 3: it looked like it was a nice throwback and very

919
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 3: very nice to see.

920
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 4: It's a shamer.

921
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: We couldn't see more of the bikes and everything on track,

922
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: you know, Simon Crazy, Lakoma Agustini was there, Lauras Caparrossi, so,

923
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: I mean, a lot of it who do work in

924
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,919
Speaker 1: Daughter in the Panic and whatnot. But cool to see

925
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 1: Casey there. And then we had that little interaction with

926
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 1: Casey and Valentino on.

927
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 4: The grid though.

928
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: That was funny, quite interesting from our fierce rivals, shall

929
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 1: we say, from your ambition outweighs your talent to a

930
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:16,760
Speaker 1: nice handshake and a smile on the grid.

931
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, they kind of buried the hatchet. I mean, you

932
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 3: remember that video last year when Casey went to the

933
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 3: ranch and he was doing some motocross with Valentino. And

934
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 3: when these guys get older and they're not fighting with

935
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 3: one another anymore, I think there's a general level of

936
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,240
Speaker 3: respect there. It's nice to see a couple of legends

937
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 3: rubbing shoulders amicably because it certainly wasn't like that in

938
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 3: the past. But I do like how you've set this

939
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 3: up with let's talk about the other ossies, because frankly,

940
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 3: I think Casey Stotter was the best performing Australian at

941
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 3: Spielberg over the course of the weekend because everyone else

942
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 3: had a bit of a shocker or was very slow

943
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 3: or in the case of Center ages very painful ending

944
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:50,760
Speaker 3: to his weekend.

945
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know if you guys listening, if you've

946
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: seen that crash of centners and you know I did

947
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 1: post it after I saw him get up and walk

948
00:41:58,160 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 1: away from it.

949
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 4: But wow, that was a big crash.

950
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: I've been trying to find out that inner details it.

951
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: At one moment it looked like he possibly had someone

952
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 1: run over his leg or I don't know the ins

953
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: and outs, but taking from what the team of post

954
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: on socials, what Center's posted on socials is that he's

955
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 1: gone to have some more checks and it's going to

956
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: be a recovery time. So Matt, have you heard any

957
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: latest news on Senna?

958
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 3: No, we know that He was taken to a trackside

959
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 3: hospital and then which to Barcelona for some more medical checks,

960
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 3: so you know, his participation for this weekend. We don't

961
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,280
Speaker 3: know whether that's happening or not yet. He could probably

962
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 3: use a gap between Austria and Hungary that's longer than

963
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 3: a few days. But it was a scary one in

964
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:43,399
Speaker 3: that that chicane which is kind of a band aid

965
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 3: solution to a problem there at Austria. It's not the

966
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,720
Speaker 3: most elegant way of changing a racetrack. The first laps

967
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 3: of all the races are a bit fraught there. You

968
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 3: just have to be on the outside and have to

969
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 3: check up to avoid somebody, and things like that can happen.

970
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 3: He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time,

971
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 3: so it's one of those ones like you looked at

972
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 3: the accident thought that could have been worse, but still

973
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 3: it certainly wasn't pleasant, and yeah, he wasn't looking too

974
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 3: great when he got up, so better to be safe

975
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,720
Speaker 3: than sorry, were these things, particularly if there's a concussion involved,

976
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 3: And yeah, I would I would be surprised if he

977
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 3: was racing and hungry this weekend, but that would you know,

978
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 3: we're know what motorcycle races are like if someone says

979
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 3: you can race, theyre going to race. So well, guess we'll.

980
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 2: See at a young twenty year old motorcycle racer.

981
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 4: Is not going to take no for an answer.

982
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: But we will keep you updated on any other news

983
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: that we hear about. Ossie sent Aegeus and yeah, like

984
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 1: you said, rough weekendles for Joel and Jacob in Moto three,

985
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: but Moto three racing.

986
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 3: Oh man, it is sure.

987
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 1: Sure, let's quickly move on because if you guys have

988
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: sucked around, thank you. We're going to move on to

989
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: Hungry and a new circuit that we never been to before,

990
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: Ballaton Parks. So we know a lot of writers have

991
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,359
Speaker 1: tested here on stup mikes or six hundreds in their

992
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 1: spare time. I was talking to when I was actually

993
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 1: in Europe Eloer this year and he mentioned the track

994
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 1: surface was quite interesting there. That was back in the summer,

995
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 1: but I know it's still hot. He was saying that

996
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 1: it's crumbling a little bit. And then I don't know, Mattter,

997
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 1: if you've seen that Jiucaddi video where they factory Jacaddi

998
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,359
Speaker 1: and the privateer teams went and tested there and Mark

999
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,799
Speaker 1: was saying just how.

1000
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 4: The rear tire was just sliding.

1001
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 1: And I don't know, if we're here they were making

1002
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 1: it up and trying to tell a story or whatnot.

1003
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,280
Speaker 1: But from me my opinion, look, I'm not the racer

1004
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: track looks narrow and the corners look quite slow. But

1005
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 1: my question to you is is that going to make

1006
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 1: it more of an even playing field this weekend kind

1007
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: of like what we saw back in Bruno, because no

1008
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 1: one has the data from this place.

1009
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's always a good thing in that everyone's literally

1010
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 3: going there with a completely clean sheet of paper. We

1011
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 3: know that Ducatti sent all their riders there on some

1012
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 3: Panagales to bomb around during the mid season break. Classic

1013
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 3: Dacadi like, We're just going to fly all six of

1014
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 3: our riders and Mikaylee Piro in there and there's seven

1015
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 3: brand new Panagales and you guys just go and get

1016
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 3: your eye in because you can. Classic to Caddy, this

1017
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 3: is why they're leading everything. But I do like the

1018
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 3: fact that it is a real step into the unknown.

1019
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 3: I like a new circuit. I think it's the most

1020
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 3: level of level playing fields. I like a new circuit generally.

1021
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,399
Speaker 3: I don't know if I'm liking this circuit particularly much.

1022
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 3: It's an odd circuit. Lad anyone that's listening to this

1023
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 3: go and find a track map of this thing. The

1024
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 3: first corner first four corner sequence is just not necessarily

1025
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 3: conducive to great motor GP racing. It really concerns me

1026
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 3: with the funnel effect into that first corner. And if

1027
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 3: anyone saw what happened on the first lap of the

1028
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 3: first World Superbikes Race there a couple of months or

1029
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,839
Speaker 3: end of July rather, there was a six bike pile

1030
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 3: up in the first quarter and it's pretty sketchy because

1031
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 3: it almost turns completely back on itself and then onto

1032
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,319
Speaker 3: its right and then there's three consecutive left hand as

1033
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 3: that follow So trying to imagine twenty two motor GP

1034
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:59,240
Speaker 3: bikes thundering and term one there's going to be super interesting.

1035
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:01,279
Speaker 3: Not sure how that's going to play out. I think

1036
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 3: the sprint will give us a bit of a bit

1037
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 3: of a test as to what that's going to be like.

1038
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 3: It's an odd layout. Banyaya. After testing the Panagali they said,

1039
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 3: I don't think we'll use sixth gear here, and that

1040
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 3: shows you how slow it's going to be. A lot

1041
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,879
Speaker 3: of Chicanes. It's a different track, right, And I don't

1042
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 3: mind the idea of you don't want twenty two cookie

1043
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 3: cutter race tracks here, you want you know, you don't

1044
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 3: want twenty two Austrias. One Austria is fine. One ballot

1045
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 3: on park is fine. The reason we rave about places

1046
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 3: like Bagello and Acid and Philip Island is because they

1047
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 3: are there completely outlies. They're ones of one, you know,

1048
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 3: varieties of spice of life and all that sort of stuff.

1049
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 3: So I'm not sure it's going to be the It's

1050
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 3: not going to be some high speed thriller rollercoaster of

1051
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:44,239
Speaker 3: a race track. It's pretty flat and it's pretty tight,

1052
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 3: and it's going to be pretty slow. But it's a

1053
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:49,359
Speaker 3: different style of race. And what you said before about

1054
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 3: no one being super prepared for this, I quite like

1055
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 3: the challenge of you get to a new place and

1056
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,800
Speaker 3: it's like, well, you've only really got one practice session

1057
00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:58,959
Speaker 3: now to learn this thing on Friday, because you're straight

1058
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:02,319
Speaker 3: into what is effected Q zero in the end of

1059
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:04,280
Speaker 3: practice on Friday, You've got to try and get yourself

1060
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 3: into Q two if that's possible. So this becomes a

1061
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 3: weekend of who can learn the fastest, and who can

1062
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:11,799
Speaker 3: live on their wits and who is prepared to push

1063
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 3: when things aren't completely perfect. You don't have the data,

1064
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 3: The track's a little bit sketchy. You're still finding out

1065
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 3: where the limits are corner after quarter. So if that

1066
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 3: doesn't sound like a recipe for Mark Marquez to make

1067
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:24,919
Speaker 3: everyone look a bit silly and Friday practice, I don't

1068
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:27,760
Speaker 3: know what it is. Because a new track and marquees

1069
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,359
Speaker 3: and a chance to explore the limits, yeah, I don't

1070
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 3: think you'll get through the day without possibly scuffing his

1071
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:34,479
Speaker 3: letters a little bit, but you'll find the limit pretty

1072
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:36,400
Speaker 3: early and then try and stay within it.

1073
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 1: I put on the superbikes on KO back from when

1074
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 1: they last a ballot on Park, and I pointed out

1075
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:45,840
Speaker 1: the fact that they hadn't mowed the grass on the

1076
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 1: edge of the track, so the grass was coming up

1077
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:50,799
Speaker 1: onto the curb and I thought that was hilarious. Other

1078
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,320
Speaker 1: it was just such a superbike thing, but it made me, Yeah,

1079
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 1: I wonder what.

1080
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 4: It's going to be like for Moto GP.

1081
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:58,320
Speaker 1: But looking at the track layer and I only watched

1082
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 1: a few laps, it looks like real chicanes.

1083
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:01,720
Speaker 4: In this circuit.

1084
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 3: Sure is, And that's what the difference. When it's a

1085
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 3: car circuit, they're just flat out kinks, and I think

1086
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 3: the you know, you need to put the chicanes in

1087
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 3: for bikes, just for runoff room and the fact that

1088
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 3: the track is it's in quite a narrow piece of

1089
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 3: land and that it quite loops back on itself, so

1090
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 3: you'll have one of those a bit like Urmass where

1091
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 3: you have the long back straight and then the section

1092
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,399
Speaker 3: immediately after where you're almost riding at the guys coming

1093
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 3: on the other part of the track, which again I'm

1094
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,359
Speaker 3: doing hand signals here on a podcast, completely useless, but

1095
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:28,919
Speaker 3: in a small part of a piece of real estate,

1096
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,280
Speaker 3: and I think you need the chicanes to maybe knock

1097
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 3: the top speed down a little bit, get it turned,

1098
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 3: then change and go again. So it's going to be

1099
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 3: super stop star It's not going to be a great

1100
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,359
Speaker 3: flow to it. But it's the same for everybody, right,

1101
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 3: everyone's got the same challenge here. This strikes me as

1102
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:46,400
Speaker 3: a weekend where you might see a few random outliers

1103
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:48,839
Speaker 3: of like a guy who just adapts really quickly. You'll

1104
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 3: look into Q two and you go, what's that guy

1105
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:52,799
Speaker 3: doing in Q two? He's barely been there all year,

1106
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 3: So from an interest point of view, I think it's

1107
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 3: going to be pretty high because for all the viewers,

1108
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 3: all the riders, no one's got any experience of this.

1109
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,400
Speaker 3: Love be a new track because it's it just it

1110
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 3: resets things for a weekend where you know, the other

1111
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 3: weekends perhaps can be a little bit more predictable.

1112
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:09,400
Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be good just thinking out around here if

1113
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 1: we saw like an I Grew a comeback like what

1114
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:12,760
Speaker 1: we saw entire lab.

1115
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 2: Where he just like it came out of nowhere rookie, You're.

1116
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 1: Like, whoa, he's in like the top five, and then

1117
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 1: the rest of the season in nowhere come into a

1118
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 1: track like this, you just see I Grew again and

1119
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 1: go straight into Q two like and this.

1120
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 3: Will be one of those weekends where for whatever reason,

1121
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:30,400
Speaker 3: someone will hit the ground running on Friday and go

1122
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 3: feeling good here And this is going to be a

1123
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 3: track where, because no one's got any experience, confidence and

1124
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:38,919
Speaker 3: early confidence is going to be key. And that's why

1125
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:40,400
Speaker 3: I think you'll get to the end of Friday and

1126
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 3: you'll see three names that are in Q two that

1127
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:45,239
Speaker 3: you'll be like, oh, that's a big surprise. So if

1128
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:48,880
Speaker 3: you've had a bit of a crappy weekend in Austria, Yamaha,

1129
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 3: maybe there's a chance for someone like Couadarero, who we

1130
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 3: know can just extract lap times out of bikes that

1131
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 3: probably don't deserve it. Maybe you see him in Q two,

1132
00:49:57,560 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 3: he just pulls out a stunning lab a week after

1133
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 3: they were complitly useless in Austria.

1134
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 1: Well, ma'am, I'm not gonna ask you for your your

1135
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 1: predictions this weekend because, like you just said, we don't know.

1136
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:10,920
Speaker 1: I've hurt from the fact of Mark Marquez possibly dominating,

1137
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 1: so we'll leave that to the actual on track action.

1138
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 1: But that pretty much rounds up our recap from Austria

1139
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 1: and our little look ahead at what we do know

1140
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 1: about Balaton Park.
