1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 1: MotoGP heads to the Southern Hemisphere for the first round 2 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 1: of the Six Flyaways, and what better places start than Mandalika, 3 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,720 Speaker 1: a tropical island paradise and that has been known to 4 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: throw a few curve balls on and off track. I'm 5 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: your host, Rnita vmullin and joining me is the man 6 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: who's fresh from his secret side gig as the Rain 7 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: Sharman's personal umbrella holder, none other that are all knowing 8 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: always dry, mister Matt Clayton, Matt, I can't start this 9 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 1: Indonesian Grand Prix podcast without reminding you of that crazy 10 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: weather and that Sharman lady banging on the bowl a 11 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:37,480 Speaker 1: couple of years ago. 12 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 2: So good. Let's see. I've been called a lot of 13 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 2: things as a Motogpjurito over the years, Roneda, but that's 14 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:44,919 Speaker 2: probably the best one. That's the one to maybe laugh 15 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 2: the most. But yeah, God, that first race there in 16 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 2: twenty two, that was bonkers the weather there. But when 17 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 2: you look at where the track situated, when the helicopter 18 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 2: shop pulls up, you can see how the weather can 19 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 2: roll in there because it makes Philip Island look secluded. 20 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 2: It's just so completed out there in the middle of 21 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 2: the ocean with so many variables, and when it rains 22 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 2: in that part of the world, it doesn't just drizzle, 23 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 2: does it. It absolutely throws it down. 24 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 3: I love that. 25 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: Since all the teams and the riders have arrived in Indonesia, 26 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: you see their social media posts and they're all on 27 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: the beach with the coconuts and chilling out, relaxing, and 28 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, yeah, well, in a few weeks time you'll 29 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: come to Phillip Island and it's going to be freezing 30 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 1: cold in Melbourne, so lap it up, guys while it's 31 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: nice and warm. 32 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, enjoy the sun and send all the winter all 33 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 2: the winter gear down to Philip Island because there's a 34 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 2: fair chat you'll need that and some sunscreen and some 35 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 2: sunglasses and every other piece of paraphernalia over the Phillip 36 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 2: Island weekend. But yeah, nice place to have a motor 37 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 2: GP race, isn't it. 38 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 1: Mandalika definitely definitely on the bucket list as well, because 39 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: it looks like such a beautiful holiday destination. But the 40 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: circuit I find really interesting in the fact that it 41 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: was purpose built literally for motor GP. 42 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 3: The worlds who bays go down. I think the Asian 43 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 3: road Racing Championship goes there. But apart from. 44 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: Those three, it is hardly ever used. And we know 45 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: from previous years that they say if you go offline, 46 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: it's super dusty. 47 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 3: We see a lot of crashes. 48 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: Do you think once again this year we're going to 49 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: see something similar like we have before. 50 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 2: Friday practice in Indonesia is always a bit of a 51 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 2: more dirt tracking that it is road racing at that 52 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 2: point because the track is so dirty. But it's a 53 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 2: cool track, like it's a really nice layout. It's a 54 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 2: layout that lends itself to good action and really seeing 55 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 2: these motor GP bikes unleashed. But yeah, super one line 56 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 2: because of how dirty it is and how infrequently it's used, 57 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,359 Speaker 2: but it tends to throw up interesting racism. And we've 58 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 2: only been there twice. We had the first race in 59 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 2: twenty two that was super wet, which Miguel Olivera won, 60 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,119 Speaker 2: and then last year was just it was the week 61 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 2: before Philip Island, so it's a bit later in the calendar. 62 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 2: But last year's Indonesia GP was pretty awesome viewing on 63 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 2: the Saturday and the Sunday, And we touched on this 64 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 2: the other day. How good is it that the rest 65 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 2: of the world now has to wake up and watch 66 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 2: Motor GP and we get to watch it the afternoon 67 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 2: for the next five weeknds. It's fantastic news. 68 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 1: Well, I was doing the schedules for the Fox Sports 69 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: Socials and I saw Saturday's race, So Saturday Sprint Sunday's 70 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: race both on at five pm in Australian local time. 71 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 3: That's brilliant. I am so looking. 72 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: Forward to that because what better way do you want 73 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: to spend your Saturday and Sunday afternoons than kicking back 74 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: on the sofar watching roto GP. 75 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 2: Right, yeah, one hundred percent. And also this use of 76 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 2: the word flyaways, which I'm guilty of it as well. 77 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 2: I use it all the time as well. Don't we 78 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 2: have to fly to just about every single race? Like 79 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 2: why do we persist with this whole flyaways thing? Is 80 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 2: Europe's doing it wrong. We're doing it right. We've got 81 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 2: it on our time zone for the next five weekends, 82 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 2: which is super fun. 83 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about last year's Grand Prix because it 84 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: was really really interesting. We had the title chase battle 85 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: heating up like we currently do, but it was mostly 86 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: Peco and Jorge Martine. 87 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 3: Last year. 88 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: I'm going to start by last year's Grand Prix winner, 89 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: Pekko Vanyaya. He started and qualified thirteenth on the grid 90 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: Sunday's Grand Prix, and he crossed the line in first. 91 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: I don't think someone had done that for a very 92 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: very long time. I'm talking like I think it was 93 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: two thousand and seven. Was the last time someone qualified 94 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: that far low and won the Grand Prix? 95 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 2: Right, yeah, two thousand and six, Turkey. I thought you'd 96 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 2: bring this up, Marco Milandry, And that was noticeable because 97 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 2: he beat this young Australian bloke called Casey Stoner that day. 98 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 2: That's the day that everyone's like, oh boy, god, Casey 99 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 2: stone is going to be good. But yeah, seventeen years 100 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 2: that someone had come from that far back on the 101 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 2: grid to win a dry weather Grand Prix, And it 102 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 2: was one that we just really didn't see coming because 103 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 2: Banyaya had got knocked out in Q one on the Saturday, 104 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 2: Martin had gone off and won the sprint and was 105 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 2: leading the Grand Prix pretty comfortably as well, had a 106 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 2: three or so second lead on the Sunday and then 107 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 2: did what juge Martin tended to do a bit too 108 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 2: much last year and that he threw it down the 109 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 2: road turn eleven about halfway through that race, So that 110 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 2: was pain in one sense. But then Banyay coming through 111 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 2: from thirteenth to actually win the Grand Prix, pretty amazing 112 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 2: chain of events, and I reckon. And there was a 113 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 2: real knock on effect from this race last year because 114 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 2: the weekend following Indonesia was Philip Island. We know how 115 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 2: fast Juage Martine is at Philip Island, and then of 116 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 2: course we remember what he did in the race at 117 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 2: Philip Pilot on the Saturday, not the Sunday. He was 118 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 2: the one that took the tire gamble and it came 119 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 2: and bit him on the last lap. He led it 120 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 2: coming onto the start, finished straight of the last lap, 121 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 2: finished fifth, and I got the feeling that the championship 122 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 2: really started to unravel for him a weekend previously after 123 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 2: he crashed out in Indonesia, and then every decision he 124 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 2: made after that probably stemmed from that. So it was 125 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 2: a critical race last year, super entertaining because of how 126 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 2: unpredictable that Sunday was. But yeah, it's very hard to 127 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 2: win from anywhere other than the first two rows in 128 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 2: Motor GP these days, so for bad you I had 129 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 2: to win from thirteenth. That was probably the most crucial 130 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 2: race he won the whole of last year. 131 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 1: I want to touch on tires real quick because you 132 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: just mentioned it there. We know last year they had 133 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: a lot of troubles with the tires because of their 134 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: actual circuit temperatures. I think it was recorded that last 135 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: year Mandalika was the highest circuit or track temperature that 136 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: they've ever had in Moto gips. I can't remember which rider, 137 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: but the tire was actually like blistering right. So I'm 138 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: thinking this year because we got the new Michelin's, but 139 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: how much the Ducaties really drive through with that rear grip. 140 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: Do you think we're going to have some tie issues 141 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: again this weekend? 142 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 2: I would say the sprint less so because you know, 143 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 2: obviously if your lapse, you get to go for it 144 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,559 Speaker 2: a bit more in that. But I think Sunday's race, 145 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 2: if the weather's dry, which is if in air quotes, 146 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,359 Speaker 2: because we never know what's happening in that part of 147 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 2: the world, could be one of those super cagey races 148 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 2: where everyone's realizes they don't have twenty seven laps of 149 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 2: tire life around this track, so you're going to have 150 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 2: to really manage the pace in the early going. So 151 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 2: that could be quite interesting because since on Sunday we 152 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 2: might have a bit of a pack, I don't think 153 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 2: anyone's going to break away and kill their ties in 154 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 2: the first ten labs, So it could be one of 155 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 2: those sort of slow to the boiled, cagey races that 156 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 2: really sort of builds to a conclusion just tactically. I'll 157 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 2: be really interested interested to see how that plays out, 158 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 2: because we know how abrasive that Tarmak is. It's a 159 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 2: place that has pretty extreme weather, either very very wet 160 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 2: or very very hot, so I think that'll really dictate 161 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 2: how this race has run and won. And someone like Bastjunini, 162 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 2: and we've talked about this before, like the absolute master 163 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 2: of tire preservation late race pace. If he's there and 164 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 2: thereabouts in those final five laps, you know he's probably 165 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 2: going to have more tie than anybody else, So he 166 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 2: could definitely be one to watch if he can hang 167 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 2: with that pack at the front. 168 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: And that pack at the front it's going to be 169 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: Pecker and Jorge Martin. Obviously we know that they're both 170 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: going to get a good start, but what about Marquez 171 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: coming into this weekend first time here on a ji caaddi. 172 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: Last time he was here he had that massive high 173 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: sight on the Repso Hondo as well, which was just nasty. 174 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: But how do you think he's going to go, because 175 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: he's been talking a lot lately about how we're going 176 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: to really start to notice the differences between the twenty 177 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: three and the twenty four GT. Yeah, he's going to 178 00:07:59,080 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: be up there with the top. 179 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 2: I think he's definitely on his back foot. I mean, 180 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 2: you have to remember he's riding a GP twenty three. 181 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 2: That was the bike that began last season with as well, 182 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 2: so you know, it just gets older and older as 183 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 2: we go along into this championship. But in a normal 184 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 2: dry weather race, I would he's going to be probably 185 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 2: the best of that next group. But I think it's 186 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 2: going to be hard for him to hang onto those 187 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 2: twenty fours. But it's a weird one for him because 188 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 2: normally you can always look back at historical precedent with 189 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 2: Mark and say, well, he said success here and he's 190 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 2: done this in the past. This is only one of 191 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 2: three tracks on the calendar. He's not one at and 192 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 2: of course he's only raced here twice, so limited sample 193 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 2: size for him. He's got a bike deficiency, I'm sure, 194 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 2: but I think we said this last week after what 195 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 2: had happened at Massano and then Aragon. If it's any 196 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 2: way sketchy or slightly half wet half dry, you know 197 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 2: he's going to be there. So I think he needs 198 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 2: external factors to keep him up the front. In a 199 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 2: normal dry weather race. I think it's pretty hard to 200 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 2: see him right up there, but he's the great opportunist. 201 00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 2: You only need to give him an inch and he's 202 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 2: going to take a mile, So we'll put an asterisk 203 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 2: on that. But in a straight fight, I think it'd 204 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 2: be a little bit beyond them. This weekend. I think it's. 205 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: Hard to not talk about their you caddies, but I 206 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: kind of think we've put them to bed for now 207 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: with Mandalika. I want to just touch on a prillier 208 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: because this style of track I feel like from history 209 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: it does suit Maverick Vannelle's and Elisha Spargo quite well. 210 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 1: But the thing that I feel like is going to 211 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: let them down is purely the heat and how much 212 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,079 Speaker 1: those aprillias do struggle or how much the riders struggle 213 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: with the heat from the bike and the outside air temperature. 214 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: What's your thoughts about those guys heading into this weekend. 215 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 2: It should on paper be a good track for them. 216 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 2: You look at the track layer, it suits the way 217 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 2: that the RSGP tends to handle. But that heat thing 218 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 2: that you mentioned has been a factor. We saw it 219 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 2: becoming an issue last year where we went to some 220 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 2: of the tracks with the hotter ambient temperatures like India, 221 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 2: and you know, they were good here last year. Maverick 222 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,079 Speaker 2: was particularly good here. But that might be the factor 223 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 2: that holds them back. But I think this is a 224 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 2: different conversation I reckon at the stat of the season 225 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 2: compared to now, because their last two or three weekends 226 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 2: they've been pretty poor pretty much since Aragon, both Massanos, 227 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 2: they weren't great. So theoretically this should be a good 228 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 2: track for them to emerge out of that best of 229 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 2: the rest category, But they got no momentum at the moment, 230 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 2: They've got no form, and I reckon just as an aside. 231 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 2: I think something that's going to start raising its head 232 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 2: the longer this season goes. There's so many guys on 233 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 2: the move right at the end of this season going 234 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 2: to new manufacturers and changing teams, and also Elisia's retiring 235 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 2: in five races in six races time rather, so I 236 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 2: reckon those sorts of things are going to start to 237 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 2: play a factor, not only in the championship fight with 238 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 2: Martin and Bangnoa and potentially Bastianini, but you've got a 239 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 2: lot of moving parts in some of these teams further 240 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 2: down the grid, and it's only natural if you're leaving manufacturer, 241 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 2: particularly if you're not leading on great terms, like if 242 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 2: you've been sacked like Jack Miller effectively, it could be 243 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 2: a bit of a factor later in the season. And 244 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 2: of course that factory a Prillier lineup, all new lineup 245 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 2: going in there next year. Only one of the four 246 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 2: are Prillier riders is actually returned for twenty five, So 247 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 2: that could be something to watch going forward, couldn't it. 248 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 3: Oh? One hundred percent. 249 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: I read an article that they talking to Kevin Schwantz, 250 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: the ninety three world champion who was at the last 251 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: round of Mazana, and he was saying that he thinks 252 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,439 Speaker 1: Jujai Martin could fight for the title on the Aprillia. 253 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: He goes in his opinion, and I'm totally paraphrasing this, guys, 254 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 1: but he thinks that Aleish and Maverick just aren't the 255 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,319 Speaker 1: complete package, which we know and we know that they 256 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: both have their weaknesses, I guess we could say, but 257 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: he thinks the work that Aleish's done coming into this 258 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: far for who hate to then jump on, he goes 259 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: it wouldn't be long for him to be fighting for 260 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 1: a championship. And I thought that's so interesting when literally 261 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: the results, like you just said that, we've had the 262 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: last few races from Alisha and Maverick, they just haven't 263 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: been there, and it does kind of feel like maybe 264 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: they're dropping the ball a little bit, or just their 265 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: headspace isn't with Aprillia anymore. 266 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 3: It is for the next year. 267 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, And also I think this you look at Brillier 268 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 2: in KTM, right, I get the sense that we kind 269 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 2: of know where the limit of the KTM is because 270 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 2: Pedro Acosta tends to find the limit and sometimes goes 271 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 2: over it because he keeps falling off. But I don't 272 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 2: think you can ever look at KTM and what they're 273 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 2: doing binder to an extent as well, where you're like, so, 274 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 2: what's the actual potential of this bike? I think we 275 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 2: know where KTM is with a Prillier. I'm never convinced 276 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 2: that we actually know where the ceiling of it is 277 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 2: because Elaysha has done an incredible amount over a long 278 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 2: period of time at that manufacturer. But you do wonder 279 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 2: if I wouldn't say he's checked out because he's very, 280 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 2: very competitive. But when you know you're about to retire, 281 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 2: that's got to be in the back of your mind. 282 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 2: And then Maverick, as we've discussed before, it's crazy to 283 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 2: think that he's probably going to be the answer to 284 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 2: the trivia question in a few years time. It's like, so, 285 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 2: why didn't do Katie win every race in twenty twenty 286 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 2: four because Maverick Vignalez won one on an a Prillier. 287 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 2: We know how good he is when he's completely on it, 288 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 2: but on a weekend to weekend basis, he fluctuates more 289 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 2: than any rider on a race winning bike. So I 290 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 2: just wonder what the absolute ceiling of the Aprillia is. 291 00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 2: The one thing we know with Jorge Martine is he 292 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 2: will find that ceiling. So I do wonder next year 293 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 2: whether we'll look at the Brillier and go, oh wow, 294 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 2: this was actually a better bike than we thought if 295 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 2: he's competing for podiums straight away, or whether we'll look 296 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 2: at it and go, oh, maybe Maverick and Elisha had 297 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 2: this bike kind of where it was because Martine's hitting 298 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 2: his head against a ceiling and can't really compete with 299 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 2: it ACADDI. So that's probably the most fascinating thing about that. 300 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 2: Early part of next year for me is so how 301 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 2: good is the Aprillia bike really? Because I'm not sure 302 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 2: we one hundred percent know. 303 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the head 304 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: there with that, and it is going to be interesting. 305 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: Next year is going to be interesting because you touched 306 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: on Jack Miller there moving to Yamaha, So obviously we 307 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: want to talk about that because last weekend not the 308 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: best results for Jack so far. But I feel like 309 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: with the news that he is going to Prahmaha next year, 310 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: having that, I guess stress taken off him. Are we 311 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: going to see Jack improve for the remainder of this year? 312 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 2: Do you think everyone playing at home you can tick 313 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 2: the PREBA har box on your big Go card because 314 00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 2: we managed to cover that one off for this week, 315 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 2: but yeah, it was it sures you how bad things 316 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 2: were for KTM last week at Masano, Jack finished sixteenth. 317 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 2: He got pushed out of the points on the last 318 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 2: lap by Johan Zako. There's some interesting picks of Zako's 319 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 2: line into that third last corner. I'm sure Jack was 320 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 2: hugely impressed with that. But Jack was sixteenth and he 321 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 2: was the best of the KTM. So it's a miserable 322 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 2: weekend that was for KTM. But you can't help but 323 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 2: think that, you know, Jack coming into this back half 324 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 2: of the year with all the flyaways, he loves this 325 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 2: time of year because he gets to come home. That's 326 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 2: part of it. But I think just having that stress 327 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 2: of will I won't ie, how long am I going 328 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 2: to be here for? Where am I going to be riding? 329 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 2: Having all that put to bed for at least the 330 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 2: first well for at least the next six months, I 331 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 2: suppose has got to help him in terms of his 332 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 2: time finishing up with KTM. But then the flip side 333 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 2: to that, of course, is that any developments they've got, 334 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 2: he's not going to be privy to those or testing 335 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 2: what's going on, so he's kind of seeing out his 336 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 2: time there. But I don't know about you, how long 337 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 2: into twenty twenty five year Rahim, it will be before 338 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 2: the So what's Jack Miller doing next year's stories kickoff? 339 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 2: Because the reason I mentioned it is that he's on 340 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 2: a one year contract and Olivera's on a two year 341 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 2: contract with Pramahar And I don't know about you, but 342 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 2: when all the press stuff came out last week with 343 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 2: Jack going to Yamaha, the difference between the fanfare and 344 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 2: the carrying on that when Olivera signed compared to when 345 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 2: Jack did. Jack's press release had no photo with management, 346 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 2: everyone arm in arm or looking happy. It's a one 347 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 2: year deal, no quotes from Jack, and the press release 348 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 2: it was very sort of perfunctory, where Olivera was all 349 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 2: the bells and whistles and he's a photo with Lyn 350 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 2: Jarvis and so on and so forth. So I thought 351 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 2: that was kind of interesting because you know what's going 352 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 2: to happen. Of those two writers, Jack is the one 353 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 2: that's out of contract first, So what will we get 354 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 2: to round three? And people will start going, So I 355 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 2: wonder what Jack Biller's doing in twenty twenty six, So 356 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 2: that story is not going to He's still going to 357 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 2: be answering questions about his future. It might even be 358 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 2: earlier than this year with the way things go. 359 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 3: Oh, that's not what you want, is it? 360 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 2: But it is not. 361 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: We're going to still have him on the grid next year, 362 00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: and that's what we want, is just to have another 363 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: Australian the grid until our younger ussies Senner, Joel and 364 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: Jacob can finally step up. 365 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 3: But I just want to touch back on the. 366 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: Current rumor circulating at KTM about the change in team manager. 367 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: I don't if you've heard about this, Matt yet, So 368 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: the rumor that Guidotti is going out and Danny Pedrosa 369 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: is stepping in as team manager. What's your take on this, 370 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: Because I'm in two mindsets. I think Danny's too good 371 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: of a test writer to let go. But I do 372 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: see that he is always in the garage. 373 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 3: She's always communicating with the writers. 374 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: He has that relationship with everyone there that I do 375 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: think he would make a really good team manager as well. 376 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 3: So I'm on the fence with this one. 377 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of two separate stories for me in 378 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 2: that there's been a bit of blood letting going on 379 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 2: at KTM because she has not gone as they would expect. 380 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 2: So the Guidotti thing seems pretty real. He did the 381 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 2: classic non denial denial when he was asked by Simon 382 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 2: Krafar on the coverage at Missano. So I don't think 383 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 2: it'd be a great surprise if he's out. But the 384 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 2: thing with Padrosa is that I think he's still too young, 385 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 2: too useful on a bike, and also just even in 386 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,400 Speaker 2: a personal side. I read the other day that he's 387 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,360 Speaker 2: just become a dad and there's all sorts of things 388 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,159 Speaker 2: going on in his life. I reckon he'd be a 389 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 2: good team manager, but maybe not yet. It seems a 390 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 2: little bit premature for me. It's almost like they need someone. 391 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 2: If they've got aspirations to put him in that role 392 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,439 Speaker 2: in the future, that's great, but maybe not yet. They 393 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 2: almost need like a stop gap. So I'd be pretty 394 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 2: surprised if he became the new team manager. I mean, look, 395 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 2: if Major GPS taught us anything this year, you should 396 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,360 Speaker 2: be surprised when you're surprised, because edything's possible at this point. 397 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 2: But I would be surprised if the good oddie stuff 398 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 2: wasn't real that he's out. But I don't know if 399 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 2: I see Danny Pedrosa being a team manager yet. He 400 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 2: still looks like he could ride a race. I mean, 401 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 2: we saw what he did as a wild card last year, 402 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 2: so I don't reckon he's quite ready to hang the 403 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 2: Helbert up yet. Surely. 404 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, No, that's kind of what I thought, and that's 405 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: why I said I'm totally on the fence, because I 406 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,640 Speaker 1: think he brings excitement. He he also connects that older 407 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: I don't want to say generation, but the older fans 408 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 1: of Moto GP who used to watching back in the 409 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: Repsol hundred days because obviously he's been around for forever 410 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,120 Speaker 1: and competing with Valentino. To see him come back, it's 411 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: like the older than you connect together. 412 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 3: I really like that. 413 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 2: Well, and I think there's so much respect still too 414 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 2: for the other riders on the grid, because you remember 415 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 2: what he did last year when he came back, and 416 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 2: it was at Messano. He's obviously really good there. He 417 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 2: raced at Herreth as well, so tracks where we know 418 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,360 Speaker 2: he's good. But you know, I don't think he would 419 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 2: sustain what he was doing in those races over a 420 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 2: full season. But the guy is still quick and he's 421 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 2: still so valuable as an asset behind the scenes on 422 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 2: the bike that I think it would be I'm sure 423 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 2: it'd be fine in a team manager role, but is 424 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 2: that the best way to deploy him as an employee 425 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 2: and as an asset at this point? Maybe not yet. 426 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 2: So look, if you told me in two years that 427 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 2: he was the team manager, I'd say I'm sure, but 428 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 2: it just seems a bit premature for me. 429 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, I can I can see that. 430 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: Well. Touching back on this weekend at Mandalika, we haven't 431 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: done that before. I'm kind of throwing you on the 432 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,880 Speaker 1: spot here, Matt, but I want to know your prediction 433 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: for this weekend. Who's going to take pole and who's 434 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: going to take the Grand Prix win on Sunday. 435 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,199 Speaker 2: Pole's easy because I automatically just say Jorge Martin's going 436 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 2: to win every pole position because I think he's the 437 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 2: fastest guy over one lap in Motor GP. It has 438 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 2: been for about three years, so I wouldn't surprise it 439 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 2: wouldn't surprise me if he's on pole at all. Race wise, 440 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 2: I am going to make a bowl prediction and say 441 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 2: we're not going to have an order Caddy podium, because 442 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 2: we've had plenty of those this year. I don't think 443 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 2: that's going to happen. If anyone's going to get up there. 444 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 2: It could be randomly good at Prily a weekend, or 445 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,199 Speaker 2: there will be a weekend where Pedro Acosta gets up 446 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:41,919 Speaker 2: the front and doesn't fall off. We know he's going 447 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 2: to get up the front because he just man handles 448 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 2: the bike, but I reckon this might be the Peco 449 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 2: strikes back weekend because I think this race is more 450 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 2: important to him than it is to Martine, which sounds 451 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 2: silly because they're both going for a world championship. But 452 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:01,160 Speaker 2: Peko's almost at that point now where he can't afford 453 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 2: any more sort of self inflicted wounds, if that makes sense, 454 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,639 Speaker 2: because he's coming from a position of deficit. So I 455 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 2: think he's probably the guy I would put my heart 456 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 2: earned on to win the race. But I don't think 457 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 2: it's going to be an alder Caddy podium. We mentioned 458 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 2: the GP twenty three things. It's a good layout for 459 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 2: Aprilier and I don't think we've seen the last of 460 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 2: a Costra on a podium this year because I think 461 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 2: he's just too quick. It's just whether he gets to 462 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 2: stay on or not. But of course if it rains, 463 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 2: then all my predictions will go flush down the drain 464 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 2: with all the rain water and in anything's possible, and 465 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 2: I will up for a bit of chaos. I don't 466 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 2: think we've had one of those completely mad races for 467 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 2: a while, so yeah, let's have one of those. 468 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 3: I do want a really good flag to flag. 469 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,439 Speaker 1: I want one that leg is actually like the legit 470 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 1: flag to flag, not jo my team coming in. 471 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 2: You mean one, we're actually one. We're actually rains. Is 472 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 2: that what you'reing to. We haven't had one for a while. 473 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 2: It's been so long since we had a proper wet GP. 474 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 2: I reckon it would be it'd be like Japan last year. 475 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 2: I'm just going back off the top of my head here. 476 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 2: It's been literally a full calendar year since we've had 477 00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 2: a properly wet race. 478 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 1: So we're certainly we'll certainly due for one hundred percent. 479 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,879 Speaker 1: So maybe is it Mandalika? Maybe is it in Japan 480 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 1: next weekend? 481 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 2: Who knows, don't feel don't say it's at Philiplo. I 482 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 2: just want us to race. I just want us to 483 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 2: race on Sunday at Philipylo this year. It's not too 484 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 2: much to ask it. 485 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: And hopefully it's dry as well while we're running around 486 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: like mad hatters.
