  • Biased

    It’s interesting to get a European perspective on MotoGP. However, some of the folks on the show are extremely biased towards the United States, the US fans, and US racing. If you want to grow the sport, you need the USA because this is where all the money is boys. My suggestion is to be more supportive of the US and maybe you will truly make this a global sport. I really dislike motorcycle snobs, and some of you are.

    Great show with intelligent hosts but can you play with levels/EQ/filters as intakes of breath are way too loud, it’s becoming distracting and unlistenable.

  • Great coverage of Moto GP and WSBK.

    Informed and with good amounts of banter. These guys have been part of these series for a long time and bring that knowledge to a weekly podcast. Very good insights into what is happening for the races, people involved and the technology of the sport. If you haven’t listened, you should.
