  • A lot of potential

    I am relatively new to MotoGP (third season) and started listening to this podcast for analysis of the racing. I like Matt quite a bit, and find Val to be knowledgeable and insightful. Unfortunately, Simon comes off like a volatile and unbalanced person, and it got increasingly difficult to set that aside in order to get the others’ opinions. I had to cancel my Patreon because he’s so prevalent in their MotoGP coverage.

  • Very good but

    They post weekly, except when they don’t. Then it’s really annoying. Right now they haven’t posted in 2 weeks or something. Really good, but also occasionally kinda frustrating

  • Used to be a big fan of the pod. Now it feels like a few lads on reddit speculating about the melodramatic aspects of the sport. There's a distinct lack of technical insight compared to other motogp podcasts.
