1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,120 Speaker 1: As Silverstone prepares to go retro for the Monster Energy 2 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: British Grand Prix, and we're thirty seven points up for grabs. 3 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 1: All eyes are back on our championship front runners at 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: Peko Vanyaya and Jorge Martin. I'm your host, Rinita Vanmullen, 5 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: and here to turn our pit talk into a podium 6 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:23,920 Speaker 1: finish our Moto GP mastermind, Matt Clayton. Matt, Finally, Moto 7 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 1: GP is. 8 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 2: Back, Ronita, It's race week. We've been waiting far too 9 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 2: long to say it, but this is just the first 10 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 2: chapter of this fantastic end of the season. We've got 11 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 2: eleven more rounds still to go in a very very 12 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 2: short space of time, so we're not going to be 13 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 2: sick of saying this Race week before too much longer. 14 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 2: But as you say, we've got this really brilliantly poised 15 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 2: championship fight between Picko and Johey, and we're going for 16 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,480 Speaker 2: a bit of a blast from the past this weekend 17 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:48,880 Speaker 2: at Silvis. 18 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: Didn't we the retro round? I'm so excited. They haven't 19 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: done something like this in Moto GP. They do it 20 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: a lot in motocross and other championships, but I wanted 21 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: to ask you what, what manufacturer are you most excited 22 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: about seeing their retro livery. 23 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 2: I'm more I gotta say I'm expecting a few Valentino 24 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,960 Speaker 2: Rossi tributes or a lot of yellow I'll say that now, 25 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 2: whether it's on the VR forty sixty caddies or whether 26 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 2: Yamaha go back to the Rossi era or not. But 27 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 2: I think there'll be some great liveries from there. But 28 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 2: to me, the interesting part about some of this is 29 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 2: that some of the most evocative liveries, or the ones 30 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 2: you really remember, are all cigarette advertising, let's be perfectly honest. 31 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 2: So how they're going to get around that and use 32 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 2: these old color schemes with a nod to the past 33 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 2: where you can't talk about tobacco advertising any well, that's 34 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 2: kind of really funny. But I reckon an old Kenny 35 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 2: Roberts retro livery might feature pretty strongly as well. But 36 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 2: I cannot wait for the reveal of this because I mean, 37 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 2: a it's awesome social media foers, so it's right in 38 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 2: your wheelhouse or this sort of stuff. But seeing that 39 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 2: starting shot of the bikes on the grid for Sunday, 40 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 2: and you'll be going, hang on, which one's this? And 41 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 2: is hang on, that's a decaddy what's going on here, 42 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 2: the unfamiliarity of the grid and seeing guys in different 43 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 2: different colors, it's going to be absolutely fantastic. 44 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: At the time of recording this, they haven't actually released 45 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 1: this weekend's livery that's happening today Thursday in England as 46 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: part of the Day of champions But for me, I 47 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: hope that the teams go all out as well. I 48 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: hope we see some retro team give maybe some like sideburns, 49 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: some CD mustaches, things like that, just to fit the theme. 50 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: But the Yamaha is the one that I'm most excited 51 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: about because I feel like over the years they've had 52 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: some really cool designs on the bike, like you mentioned Valentino, 53 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: thinking about the bumblebee, the yellow and the black, that's 54 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: the first of my mind. 55 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, abolutely. It's funny too. With some of the 56 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 2: other manufacturers, I think there's fairly obvious ones, Like I 57 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 2: would be goldsmacked if one of the Aprilias doesn't look 58 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 2: like a Max Biagi Aprillia from back in the day. 59 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 2: That to me seems like an absolute monty to happen. 60 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 2: But Yamaha, You's got so many options. You just really 61 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 2: don't know, and even things like Ducati, we so associate 62 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 2: them with red. But then would about some silver, a 63 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 2: bit of a nod back to the superbike days, bit 64 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 2: of a Troy baylors liverybaps. I mean, who knows is 65 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 2: there's so many options and that's one of the things 66 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 2: that's going to be so great about this weekend. 67 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: I think that's really cool that you mentioned Troy Bayless. 68 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: And I'm just thinking about the article that you wrote 69 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: talking about Fabio Digiy Antonio and his node to Troy Bayless, 70 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: a story that I had no idea how this boy 71 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 1: from Rome fell in love with and Ozzy all the 72 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,839 Speaker 1: way back when he was in there. It's a really 73 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: cool story. If you haven't checked it out, definitely head 74 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: to our website to read all about a Fabio Digi 75 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: Antonio's journey to the number forty nine? Shall we say? 76 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: But Matt, I wanted to ask you, we need to 77 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: get back to the racing. Hecho is on a run 78 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: back to back wins. Do you think that this weekend 79 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: he can make it five in a row? 80 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 2: Look, the form book would suggest yes, because ever since 81 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 2: he fell off on the last lap at Cashalodia in 82 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 2: the sprint. No one's really see which way he's gone. 83 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 2: He's been absolutely awesome since then, six out of seven 84 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 2: since then. Yes, profited a little bit from Juge Martin 85 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 2: making that terrible mistake right near the end at the 86 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 2: Saxon Ring, but renitda. The thing about Silverston that's so 87 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 2: bizarre is that you can kind of take the form 88 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 2: book or certainly momentum year on year and pretty much 89 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 2: throw it out the window. We've got this bizarre set 90 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 2: of circumstances where we've had nine different winners in nine 91 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 2: years at Silverston, we've had no repeat winners. It's one 92 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 2: of those races that just when you think you've got 93 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,239 Speaker 2: a sus as to what's going to happen, something comes 94 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 2: out of the blue. And we saw it last year. 95 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 2: Pecko had that race absolutely in his keeping and it's 96 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 2: like Alasia Spargo is getting close here, Alasias Bargo is 97 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 2: getting very close here, and then eight quarters from the end, 98 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 2: on the last lap, he took the lead and won 99 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 2: the race. So look, you would have to suggest in 100 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 2: the form that he's in, he's on such a run 101 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 2: at the moment he's trying to become the first rider 102 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 2: to win five Grand Prina row in five years. So 103 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 2: it's been a long time since we've seen this. But 104 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 2: I kind of like a Prillier this weekend because I 105 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 2: think it's a circuit that really placed the strengths of 106 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 2: the RSGP. We know Alasia's been good there, Maverick Vignalez 107 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 2: has been very very good at Silverston over the journey's 108 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 2: been on the podium four times. Look, Maverick could be 109 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 2: absolutely amazing or nowhere. It's going to be one of 110 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 2: the two extremes because that's the way he tends to roll. 111 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 2: But if Pecko's going to have a challenger, I think 112 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 2: it's coming from a Prillier this weekend. And look, I 113 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 2: have a history on this side. 114 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: That's interesting for when I was like doing research earlier. 115 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: Today looking at Silverstone, you know, it's not one of 116 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,559 Speaker 1: the most demanding tracks that we go to. It has 117 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,119 Speaker 1: long straights, it has fast flowing corners. I instantly think 118 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: of Mark Marquez because I feel like this style of 119 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: circuit seems to suit him. And I was looking back 120 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: at at winners, like you said, there's nine but Mark Marquez, 121 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: Valentino Rossi and Juge Lorenzo are the most winningest riders 122 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 1: since Moto GP's returned to their circuit, and I was 123 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 1: curious thinking, could this be the weekend that maybe Mark 124 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: gets his final final first you caddy podium at Silverston? Potentially? 125 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, look curious. I mean, I think of the eleven 126 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 2: rounds we've got left to go, this is probably not 127 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 2: one of the ones that would make my top three 128 00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 2: E races. I think Mark can win for the rest 129 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 2: of the year. I think we've got a couple of 130 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 2: anti clockwise circuits coming up, including one a little bit 131 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 2: closer to my home than yours for Ronetta in a 132 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 2: few months time at Philip Island. But look, he's you know, 133 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 2: he's good. He's good everywhere, isn't he? But he's good 134 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 2: at Sylveston. You remember just about one that race cirl 135 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 2: was it probably four years ago now when Alex Rinn's 136 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 2: got him on the last corner when we're using the 137 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 2: old the old National stuff, it is straight there. So 138 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 2: he's certainly been close. He's he's had a few monumental 139 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 2: accidents here as well. But look interesting with Mark, I 140 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 2: think he the dynamic between him and what happens on 141 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 2: the juge Martin side for the rest of the season. 142 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 2: Of me is really interesting because you know, Martine set 143 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 2: himself in the lead up to Silveston that they're kind 144 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 2: of in their own little silo now at Pramac because 145 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 2: Julles off to Aprillier and Pramac's off to Yamaha, so 146 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,919 Speaker 2: they're kind of operating in this bizarre circumstance for the 147 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 2: next eleven races where yeah, he's the championship contender, but 148 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 2: you have to wonder if he wants to win Vita 149 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 2: Catti and Dojakati. What a win for Pravak. You know, 150 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 2: it's this really strange situation where you've got Tea van 151 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 2: Ryder moving to new pastures. So I think you're seeing 152 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 2: Mark push forward. It wouldn't surprise me ifore Hay kind 153 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 2: of levels off a little bit, which is why I 154 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 2: think it's hard to look past Peco for the championship. 155 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 2: But you can never rule anything out with Mark. We 156 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 2: know how good he is on a Sunday, and I 157 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 2: guess if he's standing on the top step of the podium, 158 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 2: it would be rather bizarre if he was in a 159 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 2: different livery as well. For his first race, we did 160 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 2: Docadi because that will be one we'll look back in 161 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 2: ten years time ago he won wearing that that would 162 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 2: be a really really. 163 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: Strange one and hopefully hopefully with the full vintage get 164 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: up as well. But oh, that'd be brilliant. What about 165 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: the KTMS at this circuit, I was looking at the 166 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: weather forecast and it looks like it's going to be okay. 167 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: But we know it's England, so we know that weather 168 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: can change at any minute, and the race has been 169 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: canceled there in the past. You to the weather, but 170 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: what about the KTMS. How do you think we're going 171 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: to see Bradbinder and Pedro Costa go this weekend? 172 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, those two words that never should be used together, 173 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 2: England and summer. But at the moment, like you say, 174 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 2: the forecast is fire, but let's check back in a 175 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 2: few days time. I certainly don't trust it. Look, Katm's 176 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 2: kind of feels they've hit a bit of a rut 177 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 2: of late in that we saw how good Pedro Acosta 178 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 2: was in the first part of the season, and I 179 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 2: don't necessarily think his level has dropped. I think there's 180 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 2: a bit of frustration with him in the last few races, 181 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 2: where he's maybe tried to override a bike that can't 182 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 2: be there. He's had a few crashes, which he certainly 183 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 2: wasn't doing at the start of the season. Brad Benn 184 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 2: is in an interesting spot because he's only two points 185 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 2: behind Pedro in the standings. But if you looked at 186 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 2: it by the number of you know, paulum inches as 187 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 2: they would say newspaper parlance, that the two riders have got, 188 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 2: it feels like a cost has just dwarfed every other 189 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 2: rider on a KTM this year. So Brad's kind of 190 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 2: flown a little bit under the radar. He's so good 191 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 2: last year that he set such a high standard that 192 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 2: it was probably unrealistic for him to be able to 193 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 2: continue to do that. But it wouldn't surprise me in 194 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 2: the slightest if KTM actually can get on terms with 195 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 2: definitely to Katty and probably are Prillia this weekend. Wouldn't 196 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 2: surprise me if he's a guy to get up the front. 197 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 2: But he's a guy who kind of needs a big 198 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 2: back end of the year because I know there are 199 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 2: separate teams at the moment, him and Pedro, but you 200 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 2: can't tell me that it's important for one to finish 201 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 2: in front of the other end of the championship next 202 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,839 Speaker 2: year before they become teammates, because Pedro is going to 203 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 2: be going in there. The others have already won Grand Prix. 204 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 2: He hasn't yet, and yet's the operative word in that. 205 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 2: But if you go into a factory team alongside a 206 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 2: guy like Binder and you've beaten him in the Championship 207 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 2: as a rookie on a gas gas, you can't tell 208 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 2: me that's going to have some sort of carryover to 209 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 2: next year. So that's a little sort of battle within 210 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 2: a brand that I'm watching for the rest of the season. 211 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 2: I mean, look, neither of we're going to win the championship. 212 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 2: They could win a race potentially, But who's going to 213 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 2: be the top dog in that team next year? I 214 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 2: think this year will go a long way towards determining that. 215 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I can definitely see what you mean going into 216 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: next year being teammates, had you having that full factory 217 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: pressure as well, that's going to be a big adjustment 218 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: for him. Brad's obviously been in that team for a 219 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: few years now, he knows how it all works. I'm 220 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: curious to see with next year. There's so many changes 221 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,959 Speaker 1: as well. Happening obviously, Mark going to fact Caddy or 222 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: Hate Martin going to a Prillier. So much changes, so 223 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: much is going to be happening on track and off 224 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: track that I just cannot wait to see. But I 225 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 1: want to ask you further down. We've covered most of 226 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: the European manufacturers. Now we've got a head to our 227 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: Yamaha and Honda counterparts in the Japanese Championship that's happening 228 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 1: further down the field. Out of those two manufacturers, do 229 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: you think we're going to see the Yamahas shine that 230 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:33,359 Speaker 1: bit more this weekend? Heading into Silverstone. 231 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 2: I feel like I need some old school seventies binoculars 232 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 2: to see far down the grid where the Hondaga and 233 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 2: the Yamaha guys are. It's a long way back there 234 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 2: for most and let's be perfectly honest, but I think 235 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 2: if you're going to look at either of those two brands, 236 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 2: I still think they're starting from really low bases. It's 237 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 2: pretty clear Yamaha to me, they have a pathway to 238 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 2: get better, and it's just going to take them a really, 239 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 2: really long time to get there. But you suspect that 240 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,319 Speaker 2: they know the way out and forward towards that. I'm 241 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 2: not sure Honda know the way out yet. I think 242 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 2: that's the difference between the two. I don't think they're 243 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 2: created equal in that sense. And to my mind, look, 244 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 2: we've seen since we did our last podcast, Shawi mers 245 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 2: Re signed with Repsol Honda A probably because the lack 246 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 2: of options anywhere else. Let's be perfectly honest, and when 247 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 2: you're a factory Honda rider, at least you have a 248 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 2: nice bank balance to pay for all the medical bills 249 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 2: that the bike's going to give you, and it spits 250 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 2: you off and pretty much most sessions you see the 251 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 2: graphic Juan Meir crash rider, Okay, it seems to come 252 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 2: up quite a bit. But of those two manufacturers, I 253 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 2: like the direction that Yamaha is heading in and I 254 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 2: think that having Fabio Guadauro there at least gives you 255 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 2: a benchmark to know that if the bike's good, he'll 256 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,559 Speaker 2: be there. And I'm not sure he's going to be 257 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 2: a guy you're going to see sniffing around a podiums 258 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 2: for the rest of the year, but there'll be certain 259 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 2: days on certain tracks where you go Fabia's in the 260 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 2: top six and it'll be you know, it might not 261 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 2: even be for a full race. You could see him 262 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 2: like getting a top five finish in a sprint, perhaps 263 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 2: because it's half the distance and less time for things 264 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 2: to go wrong and so on and so forth. He 265 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,680 Speaker 2: can maybe over right transcend the quality of the bike, 266 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,719 Speaker 2: he could say, over a shorter distance. So I kind 267 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 2: of like the way they're going. I can see a 268 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 2: road back for them. But the Honda thing, Look, we 269 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 2: know that their rider lineup is probably going to stay 270 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,079 Speaker 2: unchanged now from this year, which is crazy to think 271 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 2: because obviously Luca, Meridian, Jahanzako already on multi year contracts. 272 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 2: It looks like Takanakagami's probably going to stay by default 273 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 2: because Iogura is going to bob up elsewhere, which I'm 274 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 2: sure we'll talk about. But Fabio is the as and 275 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 2: the whole mr. He's the guy that can lead them 276 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 2: sort of, not maybe to the Promised Land, but certainly 277 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 2: out of the basement and this weekend. Look, it's a 278 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 2: fast flying track. He's been pretty good around there in 279 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 2: the past. But there's just so many decaddies on the grid, 280 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 2: Like you know, there's eight decaddies on the grid, and 281 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 2: do you trust the Yamaha to be capable of beating 282 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 2: more than one or two of them, it's hard to see. 283 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 2: So look, if he was to finish in the top 284 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 2: ten on Sunday, I think Yamaha would be pretty rapped. 285 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely. I think Fabio he's having to override that 286 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: bike so much more then anyone would want to ride. 287 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: And he even admitted that in a recent interview. He 288 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 1: said that he's got the engine power there and that's 289 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: what they need. But everything that they had as a 290 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: positive before they upgraded that engine has lacked and now 291 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: they're having to figure out a way they can combine everything. 292 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: And we can see it. You can see in his 293 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 1: face when he takes that helmet off. He is drained. 294 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: He's exhausted because he's having to ride that bike like 295 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: no tomorrow. It's similar to how Mark Marquez had to 296 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: on that Honda for so many years. I think with 297 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: Yamaha they don't want to head in that same direction 298 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: that Honda have done, where they've kind of put everything 299 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: into Mark and to winning and developed the bike for him, 300 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: and I think Fabio's also realize that and the fact 301 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: that he's going, Okay, we need to work on these 302 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: but I also need the feedback from Calany, the feedback 303 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,479 Speaker 1: from Alex and he's so excited to have Pramac Yamaha 304 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: as well. He goes it's going to be the same. 305 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: It's not a privateer satellite team. He wants it to 306 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: be just as factory as he is. He can all 307 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,439 Speaker 1: build and develop that bike together, so hopefully we will 308 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: see those Yamaha's closer to the front next year. 309 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 2: Well, and that point you mentioned about Mark is so 310 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 2: key to where Honda finds itself now because for so 311 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 2: many years, I'm not sure that was the best or 312 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 2: second best bike in Motor GP, but he made it 313 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,719 Speaker 2: what it was. So at the end of the day 314 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 2: you could look at the standings and say, well, Hond's 315 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 2: still winning the championship, not realizing that he was the 316 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 2: one that was making the difference. And then once it 317 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 2: got to twenty twenty and Mark got hurt and he 318 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 2: was off the grid, Everyone's like, oh, so this is 319 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 2: where the Honda is. So for years, Mark had probably 320 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 2: masked a few of the problems that brand had. Now 321 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 2: that he's he was intermittently back between injuries. Now that 322 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 2: he's gone and you can see the whole that they're in. 323 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 2: They're sort of paying the price now for like twenty seventeen, 324 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 2: eighteen nineteen, where Mark was so good he was winning 325 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 2: everything anyway, even though the bike wasn't great. So if 326 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 2: Yamaha can avoid going down that path where the whole 327 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 2: things depended on one guy overachieving on its bike, then 328 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 2: that's a big tick for them, I. 329 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: Think, yeah, definitely. And then you can say is coming 330 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: in in a few years everything's going to change anyway, 331 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: which I'm sure we will definitely discuss at a further 332 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: point in time. But Matt, we have a very special 333 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: guest on this podcast today.

I enjoy it and hopefully 361 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 3: it can suit the. 362 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 2: The Is that a real thing when you go back 363 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 2: to a track where you've had some successive World championship 364 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 2: Like when you walk through, you drive in through the 365 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 2: you know, through the gates. Is that a real thing 366 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 2: where you go oh yeah, Like, is it there's a 367 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 2: good memory when I've left this place or is it 368 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 2: just onto the next the whole time? Do you like 369 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 2: look back at that sort of stuff? 370 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 3: Uh, not not in that depth, to be honest, But 371 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 3: I think it's all just kind of your you know, like, yeah, 372 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 3: great fansic sex sex here. You know, hopefully it should 373 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 3: be an easier weekend than normal. 374 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 4: That's about it. 375 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I wanted to ask you've obviously come from well 376 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: two bikes that you're currently competing in over Intomoto GP. 377 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: You did the last round at Saxon Ring with the 378 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: Monster Energy team and now you're on the test team 379 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 1: bike for Cal crutch Low. Mentally, how difficult or challenging 380 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: is it to go from the super bike bike over 381 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 1: Intomoto GP. 382 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the superbike is completely different. I mean 383 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,959 Speaker 3: it's compared to the JP bike, so it's like starting 384 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 3: from zero, you know. Yeah, tires are completely different. There's 385 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 3: less power, a little bit heavy I think, but not 386 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 3: that much. But yeah, just different riding style, completely different 387 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 3: riding style, and obviously there's a lot more things to 388 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 3: manage on a GP bike. You know, you have the 389 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 3: right height controls, you have the start devices you have, 390 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 3: you know, carmon brakes that need stay in temperature. The 391 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 3: tires are more critical to temperature, so everything small stiff. 392 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 4: There's a lot more more to manage with the GP bike. 393 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 4: So yeah, honestly, it's kind of like starting from zero. 394 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,120 Speaker 3: Maybe a bit less starting from zero this time now 395 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 3: that we got Saxon ring under our belt. 396 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 4: But yeah, Saxon ring definitely got thrown in the deep. 397 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 2: Bend well, and a weird one too with Saxon ring 398 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 2: because well, if I understand correctly, you were out doing 399 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 2: some motocross or something with Tito about when you got 400 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,239 Speaker 2: the call or thereabouts. But Saxon ring is not your 401 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 2: standard circuit to come back and ride a motor GP 402 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 2: bike when you haven't ridden one for the best part 403 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,719 Speaker 2: of two years, because there's nowhere quite like the Saxon ring. 404 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 2: It's pretty much a one of one. So how deep 405 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 2: into that weekend were you in Germany before you felt 406 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 2: all right, I'm actually on top of this or did 407 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 2: you never quite get to that point? 408 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, so I was out. 409 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was just I think, Yeah, I was riding 410 00:18:55,680 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 3: motocross with Tito and we're having lunch down in Yibi 411 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 3: next don or in Spain and. 412 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 4: I watched on the GB. I watched the GB. 413 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 3: I didn't even think anything of it, and got back 414 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 3: home with washing the bike and had about twenty five 415 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 3: missed calls and that was you know, part manager and 416 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 3: pick up the phone idiot and he's like, you want 417 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 3: to do this and I was like, yeah, I think 418 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 3: it should be fun. So yeah, definitely didn't expect it, but. 419 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 4: You know, I think. 420 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,919 Speaker 3: It ended a pretty pretty okay and the end, I 421 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 3: think we did have a decent performance. And yeah, so 422 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 3: I'm glad I did it. I'm to get them back again, 423 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,640 Speaker 3: so they can't be too unhappy happy with. 424 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 1: Me exactly back again this weekend. But like I mentioned, 425 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: you are filling in for injured Cal Crutch. They on 426 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 1: the test team. With this weekend and the plan that 427 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: you've got going ahead, how much of this weekend is 428 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,919 Speaker 1: testing parts and products for the factory riders. 429 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 4: I know I'll have to be doing a little bit 430 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 4: of testing this weekend. 431 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 3: I don't exactually know what the plan is yet because 432 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,400 Speaker 3: I actually haven't had time to sit down in the case. Yeah, 433 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 3: I've been flat out this morning, but yeah, I know, 434 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 3: I know they already said to me that, yeah, okay, 435 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 3: you know, we have other testing, so we have do 436 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 3: have items to test. 437 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 4: But for sure, and my mentality is, you know, I'm 438 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 4: still here. 439 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 3: I'm a racer, here to race and do the best 440 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 3: of course, and do the best possible. So yeah, there's 441 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,479 Speaker 3: for sure it's not going to be easy to balance 442 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 3: that race. 443 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 4: We can test strategy, but. 444 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 3: Hopefully you know, the guys can understand the racing mantality 445 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 3: as well. 446 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I was going to ask you, actually, it 447 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,680 Speaker 2: had been what eighteen months near enough since you've ridden 448 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 2: a motor GP bike since what Valencia twenty two until 449 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 2: you get back on the bike at Saxon Ring. How 450 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 2: much of the game moved on in those eight eight months, 451 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 2: Because obviously you're, yeah, you park that thing at Valencia 452 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 2: at the end of twenty two, you're probably not expecting 453 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,439 Speaker 2: to get back on emjor GP bikes. So when you 454 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,199 Speaker 2: do get back on one, were there things we're going, Oh, 455 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,199 Speaker 2: you know, this is really taking a step from what 456 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 2: I was used to. Were there some things you really 457 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 2: noticed have moved on? 458 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 4: Honestly, I didn't feel like it was night and day 459 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 4: for me. I mean, it kind of just shot like 460 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 4: a GP bike. 461 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 3: Again, definitely different than the KTM for better or worse 462 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 3: in that respect, but yeah, definitely definitely felt like a 463 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 3: GP bike. And you know what surprised me, to be honest, 464 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 3: was the like, the amount. 465 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 4: Of fast guys now. 466 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 3: I mean, I mean there was many fast guys back 467 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 3: when I was, you know, twenty two, but you know 468 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 3: it's you know, if you're not if you're not absolutely 469 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 3: pushing to the limit, he's just going to be dead last, 470 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 3: n't you Like. It's just it's there's so many fast 471 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 3: guys that you know, you just have to be so 472 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 3: on it even do some sort of results. So, yeah, 473 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 3: everyone's extremely fast. The manufacturers, there's a lot of fast 474 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 3: manufacturers now, and yeah, it's incredible how father bikes have come. 475 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 3: But I didn't feel like it was night and day 476 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 3: speed wise. I think it's just kind of the level 477 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 3: of everyone. Yeah, pretty impressive more than anything. Didn't surprise 478 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 3: me because I know, but just impressive. 479 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: This weekend at Silverstone is the seventy fifth anniversary.

It's just one of 494 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,360 Speaker 2: those things that's come up at a particular time of year, 495 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 2: and it feels like once one or two people or 496 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 2: manufacturers committed, everyone's like, oh, we've got to do this too. 497 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 2: And I guess the cool thing about this sport, and 498 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 2: obviously you know it from a fan and being in 499 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 2: a family and racing yourself, is there so much history 500 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 2: and we're always moving on to the next season and 501 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,679 Speaker 2: the next thing. It's such a great thing for the 502 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,920 Speaker 2: sport to look back and celebrate its past because there's 503 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 2: so many color schemes and styles and the way the 504 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 2: racing looks. Now, I think that's the most exciting thing 505 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 2: for all you guys to see what everyone else is doing. 506 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think. 507 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 3: I mean when I heard it was happening, I was 508 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,919 Speaker 3: over the moon and that I could be joining this 509 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 3: race to do it. 510 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 4: So yeah. 511 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 3: I also I've designed a special helmet as well from 512 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 3: a past raider as well. 513 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 4: I will say this is a Yamaha pass Raider. There 514 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:01,360 Speaker 4: you go, I'll give you that. 515 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 2: No, Doney looks when you say that. 516 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 3: No, I'll give you that. But and yeah, the letters 517 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 3: are awesome. I mean, boots, everything just looks amazing. So yeah, 518 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 3: I think it's really cool. 519 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 4: I think. 520 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,719 Speaker 3: I think yea hopefully that all the teams were kind 521 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 3: of on board with it because I think it's a 522 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 3: really cool idea really cool concept. And you know, I 523 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 3: like the classic stuff. I mean I just told you 524 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 3: before about all my classic cars, so I don't actually 525 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 3: have a new car, so yeah, I'm I'm the old school. 526 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 3: I like old school stuff, so it's it's quite cool 527 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 3: for me and that I can be joining me in 528 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 3: this race when it's happening. 529 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,440 Speaker 1: Well, we were talking off camera earlier and were saying, 530 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: you know, it would be cool if you had the sideburns. 531 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: Is that what you call them, Matt, That the big 532 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: big side burns, robbers, the big robbers poppers. 533 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 3: Yeah. 534 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,640 Speaker 4: And the mullet, Yeah I had. I mean in Mizana. 535 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 3: If you go and check photos from Hiszana this year, 536 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:56,719 Speaker 3: just the best mullet. 537 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 4: Honestly, I was so proud of my mullet. 538 00:24:58,400 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 2: It was sick. 539 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 4: It was so long, black in the air. It was amazing. 540 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, the hairdresser cut a bit too much offen unfortunately, 541 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 3: so yeah, it needs to go back. 542 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 4: But my hair grows fast. You know, I think by 543 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 4: the end of the year, I should have a decent molet. 544 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 3: It again, the only thing I've got a wedding from 545 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 3: like a very close family member, and I've been told 546 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 3: that if I turn. 547 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 4: Up with a mullet, I'll be basically kicked out. 548 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 2: So that's what we've got photoshop for me. You'll be fine, 549 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 2: just let just let it fly. But we're sort of 550 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 2: talking about the retro side of things and sort of 551 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 2: linking it back to where you are now. I'd be 552 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 2: curious as to how you feel sort of the Motor 553 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 2: GP paddock and the series feels of working in that 554 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 2: environment compared to what you used to now in the 555 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 2: day job at World Superbikes. Is there a significant difference 556 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 2: between the two? I mean, we know Superbikes is generally 557 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 2: a little bit more relaxed and probably less uptight than 558 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 2: Motor GP is. But did you notice the difference between 559 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 2: the two? And I guess there's an ancillary question to that. 560 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,120 Speaker 2: There's a lot of talker. Jack Miller may be ending 561 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 2: up racing with you little bit more than he has 562 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,120 Speaker 2: this year in the short term future. So if Jack 563 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,199 Speaker 2: ends up in that superbike paddock, is that something that 564 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,239 Speaker 2: you could see him enjoying, because he strikes me as 565 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 2: a guy who likes the racing more than the side 566 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,439 Speaker 2: show a lot of the time. It might be right 567 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 2: up easally, Yeah, I mean the. 568 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:23,159 Speaker 3: Actual technical side and the sporting side is exactly the same. 569 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 3: You know, inside the box. You know in the end 570 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 3: you're there to do a job. You know you're still 571 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 3: a professional rider and it's something you have to take serious. 572 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 3: I mean, if you don't the levels so high now 573 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 3: in superbikes, I mean the top ten are so fast now, 574 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,640 Speaker 3: you know, just if you're not. 575 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 4: On top of your game, you're not taking it completely serious. 576 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 4: You know you're going to be nowhere. 577 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 3: So that from the sporting side of things, you have 578 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 3: to be completely on it all the time and you 579 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,880 Speaker 3: have to be a professional rider and from Friday until 580 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 3: Sunday give it your all. Otherwise, like I said, you 581 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 3: can be nowhere. Let's see the media side and things 582 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 3: like that. Yeah, definitely more chill, but for sure we 583 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 3: still have some media obligations, which is all okay, and 584 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,120 Speaker 3: I think it's all part of the job. I think 585 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:07,919 Speaker 3: at this point in our careers, if we don't know 586 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 3: how to manage that, you know, we shouldn't be here. 587 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,200 Speaker 4: So but yeah, I. 588 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 3: Think, yeah, I'm not sure what's true or not about that. 589 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 3: I haven't spoken to Jack, but yeah, I'm sure he'd 590 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,159 Speaker 3: enjoyed the bike. To actually ride the bike, it's actually 591 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 3: quite fun. 592 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 4: The Perellis are. 593 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 3: Really forgiving, and the superbike moves around a lot more 594 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 3: and it's actually really enjoyable and race as well. I mean, 595 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 3: it's probably a bit easier to pass riders and have 596 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 3: some nice battles on tracks. 597 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 4: So as a. 598 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 3: Racer it's definitely it's definitely a fun time on track, 599 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 3: but yeah, we'll see. I mean I wish you know, 600 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 3: the best of luck to Jack and search them for 601 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 3: something for next year. 602 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 2: While we're on that, I mean the rider market stuff. 603 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 2: You would have been watching that from Afar this year. 604 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 2: It was completely bonkers for about three weeks there, Like 605 00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 2: every time you look at your phones, I want to 606 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 2: change to you or something was going on. It was 607 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,399 Speaker 2: completely mad, and obviously Jack got sort of caught out 608 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 2: in the shuffle with all of that, with all the 609 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 2: moving pieces. You've been in that KTM situation before, where 610 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 2: you know, things that you thought were going to happen 611 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 2: perhaps didn't. Do you perhaps sympathize a little bit with 612 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,199 Speaker 2: Jack's situation because one minute he was on a factory KTM, 613 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 2: the next minute he was in line for a Tech 614 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 2: three bike, and now he's still looking for a job 615 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 2: two months later. I mean, you went through your own 616 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 2: issues with that side of things with KTM. Did you 617 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 2: sort of see any similarities there or feel any sympathy 618 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 2: for him? 619 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 3: I mean, after everything, after the years, you know, after let's. 620 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,920 Speaker 4: See the trend of what happens in KTM. I mean, 621 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 4: that's you can't say it's surprising at all. 622 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean I think for him as well, 623 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 3: I think I wouldn't be completely surprised, you know, after 624 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 3: you know, seeing a trend over five years of everything 625 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 3: that's happened. So yeah, I mean, in the end, what 626 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 3: can I say. He was in a factory team, I 627 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 3: didn't he would make it that far. So he's done one. 628 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 4: Better than me or ready. 629 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 3: And and yeah, I mean he's had a great, great 630 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 3: run already in MotoGP He's been around for ten years 631 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 3: or something like nine years or something like that, so yeah, 632 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 3: he's had he's had a great run. He's done an amazing, 633 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 3: amazing career, had great results, and yeah, I think he 634 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 3: could be proud of it if it does come to 635 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 3: an end. 636 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 4: But I'm not sure. I don't know what's going to happen. 637 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 3: I'm not even in this paddock usually, so honestly, I 638 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 3: don't even look at the I don't even look at 639 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 3: the news anymore. Just I'm off riding motorbikes and duro 640 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 3: or trials or whatever any we care. 641 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: Well, let's bring it back to you. Then let's go 642 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: back to Wilson. Wike's currently sitting P seven in at 643 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: the championship. How do you feel the championship has been 644 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: so far. 645 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think having a good having a good year. 646 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 3: We're kind of fighting for that top five. We got 647 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 3: Locker just in that top five. Unfortunately, I had a 648 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 3: lot of bad luck in Australia in the first race, 649 00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 3: and yeah, we've only scored a small handful points unfortunately, 650 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 3: and I think we had the potential to, you know, 651 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 3: probably fight for the podium. So yeah, it was unfortunate 652 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 3: there that we had a bit of a problem in 653 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 3: Mommelo in the first race as well, and another bunch 654 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 3: of points. 655 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 4: But yeah, we've been hanging in there. 656 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 3: We've been you know, climbing back and I think we've 657 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 3: started the championship in tween twelve thirteen something like that, 658 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 3: so yeah. 659 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 4: We've been clawing back, and. 660 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, we managed to cloak the gap again in Moss 661 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 3: and basically our our eyes are said on that on 662 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 3: that top five position in the championship. It's not going 663 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 3: to be easy for sure, but you know, hopefully we 664 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 3: could keep it consistent and put in a good end 665 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:38,239 Speaker 3: of the year. 666 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 2: Man, if only you could just go and go the 667 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 2: hard reset button on Australia, I mean, you take that 668 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 2: one out of the equation to the rest of it's 669 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 2: been pretty much where you would want to be. I 670 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 2: would say, but while we're talking about your current day 671 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 2: job as opposed to your deputizing day job this weekend, 672 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 2: I can't not ask you the top rack question because 673 00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 2: we've seen what he's doing at the moment. He's on 674 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 2: a massive and you know, the marshal of the Margins 675 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 2: and Victory have been absolutely crazy. There's been so much 676 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 2: discussion on you know, would he go to BOT to GP, 677 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 2: who would he go with? How well would he go there? 678 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 2: You've raced against the guy now for a couple of years, 679 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 2: and you also know what about a GP writer looks 680 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 2: like because you were one and you are racing with 681 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 2: them at the moment. Is he of a quality that 682 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 2: he could do well in that series? And do you 683 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 2: think it's going to happen or is it going to 684 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 2: be something else that needs to happen to get him 685 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 2: to go over because the talent's pretty undeniable. 686 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 4: From where I was hitting, Yeah, I think for next year. 687 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 3: I don't think so, because I think maybe I don't 688 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 3: even know, but I've been told that BM came out 689 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 3: and said no, he's going to stay with this one morning. 690 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 3: I think even himself he said that, So I don't know, 691 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 3: I don't Yeah, I don't know. 692 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 4: I've been told that son. Don't take that my word 693 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 4: on it as a writer. As his style right now, 694 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 4: that style. 695 00:31:55,920 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 3: In superbikes from R Mynergip wouldn't work, let's say. But 696 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 3: I mean, obviously, i mean, look at the guy's talent. 697 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 3: He's he's very talented, and I'm sure he can adapt 698 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 3: and he'll be a fast rider on a GP bike 699 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 3: I think, yeah, for sure. So maybe not gonna be overnight, 700 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 3: but a bit of bit of testing and and a 701 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 3: bit of experience and adaptation, I'm sure he could go 702 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 3: pretty quick. Yeah, I mean, you know, look what he's 703 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 3: doing on a superbike. 704 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 4: Guys obviously no how to ride a motorcycle. 705 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean, at the moment he's working with 706 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 3: the BMW, it's it's working. 707 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 4: Well, he's got the horsepower now that we wanted, always wanted, 708 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 4: so yeah, it's it's definitely working. 709 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 3: So at the moment, I'm just I'm actually beating his 710 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 3: hisat times and things. 711 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 4: Like that that he was sitting on the YMA, So 712 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 4: I'm actually gotting faster than that. So I'm still here. 713 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 4: I'm still here. 714 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, Unfortunately, everyone in superbikes has made a step and 715 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 3: it doesn't seem like that anymore, you know, like we're 716 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 3: actually that fast, you know, because you know, obviously the 717 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 3: other manufacturers have made a big step this year and 718 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 3: and they're on it. So yeah, at the moment, we're 719 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 3: in our kind of own little race. But but yeah, 720 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 3: we're trying to We're trying to do our best. 721 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 4: At what we've got. 722 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: Remie, I wanted to ask you, with these couple of 723 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 1: filling rides that you've done with Yamaha Emoto GP, do 724 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 1: you think it is kind of an audition process for 725 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 1: you to come back or could we possibly see you 726 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 1: back Emoto GP as a full time rider in the future. 727 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, I don't know. 728 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 3: I haven't known any nothing's been tend to me, so 729 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 3: you know, if you even know more, not more than me, 730 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 3: But at the moment of the sist I think a 731 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 3: filling ride to get a bit more data and and 732 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 3: a bit more yeah, and maybe different comment from a 733 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 3: different rider on the bike, to to try and move 734 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 3: forward with maybe the bike in the project, which is 735 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,720 Speaker 3: you know, ultimately I think what what Yah Mahamed right now, 736 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 3: and yeah, I mean, you never know, in the future 737 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 3: that could be opportunities. And I'm still young, you know, 738 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 3: still twenty six, and yeah I'm still fast. It looks 739 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,360 Speaker 3: like so yeah. 740 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 4: Hopefully, yeah, you never know. 741 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 3: In the future, we'll see, but at the moment, there's nothing, 742 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 3: nothing on the table. 743 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, we're so excited to have you back in 744 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: the Paddock on the grid again this weekend. It's so 745 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,280 Speaker 1: cool for us Aussies having two Aussies that we can support. 746 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 1: We know all of Australia is behind you. Best of 747 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: luck this weekend. We can't wait to see that unveiling 748 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: of your retrolivery and also see you out on track. 749 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, me too, also, I can't wait. Thanks guys, appreciate it. 750 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 1: Matt. What did you take from that chat with Remy? 751 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 2: I don't know about you, Ranta, but it said to 752 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:55,280 Speaker 2: me like Remy's a guy who isn't necessarily mentally finished 753 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 2: with Bono GP as he said, you know, I'm twenty six, 754 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:03,400 Speaker 2: I'm still fast, and that was quite interesting. So obviously 755 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 2: there's still a bit of a flickering flame for him there. 756 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 2: I mean, he was he left MotoGP pretty bitter at 757 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 2: the end. Of twenty two. Things certainly didn't go the 758 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 2: way he wants them to after the highs of winning 759 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,279 Speaker 2: that Motor two title in twenty one and the whole 760 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,400 Speaker 2: Motor GP experience and the experience with KTM certainly wasn't 761 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 2: what he wanted. And I did about you, but I 762 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,360 Speaker 2: thought that was kind of interesting when we put it 763 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,319 Speaker 2: to him about Jack Miller's situation with KTM. Obviously Jack 764 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,800 Speaker 2: had said, you know, don't take any calls, don't sign anything. 765 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,360 Speaker 2: We've still got something for you, and then nothing happened. 766 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 2: And the smile on Rebby's face and the comments that 767 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 2: he made about that, it's like, yeah, this feels like 768 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:39,759 Speaker 2: a story I've read before. I don't know about you, 769 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 2: but that's the way I saw it. 770 00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, No, it was really interesting, and it's typical Rammy. 771 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,040 Speaker 1: He's cool as a cucumber, right, and it seems like 772 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,439 Speaker 1: he's back to himself. And when we did see him 773 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 1: in that final year on the KTM, you could just 774 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 1: see the frustration I'm going to call it frustration in 775 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 1: his face. And now it seems like he's really enjoying 776 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:04,239 Speaker 1: Welsis and the relaxed part of the paddock and the calendar, 777 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,279 Speaker 1: but he's enjoying these film rides with Yamaha as. 778 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,279 Speaker 2: Well massively, so I think, you know, he's really landed 779 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,839 Speaker 2: in a good place. He's probably rediscovered his love for 780 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 2: everything around racing, not just the racing again. But you 781 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 2: know what I found really interesting was when we were 782 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 2: talking about how the game has changed since twenty twenty two, 783 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 2: and he just said, there's so many fast guys. And 784 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 2: I think this every week when you look at Motor GP, 785 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 2: if you're six and a half tenths off the pace, 786 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,879 Speaker 2: you're probably on the back row. I mean, the gap 787 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:34,320 Speaker 2: between first and last now and Motor GP is completely crazy. 788 00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,000 Speaker 2: And that's why we're having this fantastic season because you've 789 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 2: got really really high level riders on a field that's 790 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,800 Speaker 2: really concerting it over the years, and I guess that's 791 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 2: why we love it exactly. 792 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,760 Speaker 1: Like talking about the current grid, you know, the Honda 793 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 1: and the Yamahas, they are doing faster lap times this 794 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 1: year than they are last year and they're still at 795 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 1: the back. So that just shows you how much the Ducantes, 796 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:59,320 Speaker 1: if really the Ketms have also advanced compared to last season. 797 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,320 Speaker 1: You said, this year is so exciting in Moto GP 798 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,919 Speaker 1: and we just can't wait to get back on track 799 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,640 Speaker 1: this weekend at Silverston for the British Grand Prix. But 800 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,760 Speaker 1: I think that pretty much wraps up our chat about 801 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:16,120 Speaker 1: Moto GP pit talk for this episode. We will be 802 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 1: back after the British Grand Prix to talk and hopefully 803 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,400 Speaker 1: see if any of our predictions came true about maybe 804 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,279 Speaker 1: Mark marc Has taking his victory or Peco taking his 805 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,320 Speaker 1: fifth win in a row.
