Crash MotoGP Podcast

Dre Harrison is joined by Lewis Duncan and Peter McLaren in another edition of the Crash MotoGP Podcast.

This week’s episode is built around the possibility of MotoGP having mandated reserve riders, ready to step in at a moment’s notice in case of unforeseen circumstance like injury. Lewis and Pete explain how this could be a surprise game changer for the sport in terms of integrating younger riders into MotoGP sooner, and drawing more interest in the sport as a whole.

There’s also reaction to the silly season news that David Alonso may be heading to HRC, with Enea Bastianini and Dani Holgado rumoured to be joining Gresini for 2027.

Lewis Duncan, Peter McLaren and Dre Harrison sit down to review the third round of the 2026 MotoGP World Championship from Austin, Texas as Marco Bezzecchi would lead every single lap to take his fifth win in a row and break the all-time laps led record, pushing it out to 121. And with Jorge Martin taking the sprint win and briefly leading the Championship, is the Spaniard a surprise title threat now?

There's also a breakdown of Ducati's current struggles. Marc Marquez's predicted Austin onslaught never materialised after a 115mph crash on Friday, a take out of Fabio Di Giannnantonio in the Sprint for a penalty and only managing fifth in the Grand Prix. Marc clearly isn't 100% after last year's shoulder injury, but what else is holding Ducati back as Aprilia lay claim to being the sport's best factory?

There's also more on Pedro Acosta getting back on the podium for KTM, more talk over Michelin and tyre pressures, and how do you solve the problem that is Joan Mir and crashing from high positions.

Lewis Duncan and Peter McLaren are joined by Dre Harrison to breakdown the Brazilian GP, the first in the country for 22 years. Marco Bezzecchi won his fourth Grand Prix in a row, just the fifth rider to do so in the modern era of the sport. At this point, you have you wonder, is Aprilia the new Ducati, or are other circumstances propping up their success?

There's also a deep dive into the farcical timeline of Goiania's circuit falling apart across the weekend, from the sinkhole that appeared after Qualifying on Saturday that led to an 80-minute delay to the Sprint, and the asphalt breaking up at Turns 11-12 on Sunday that led to the Grand Prix being reduced from 31 to 23 laps. It leads to greater questions about the state of the facilities and whether Goiania itself is worthy of a World Championship event.

Finally, a discussion on the mixed bag of Ducati performances, Marc Marquez's great fight with Fabio Di Giannantonio across the weekend and whether Fermin Aldeguer could be heading to VR46 for 2027.

Dre Harrison, Lewis Duncan and Peter McLaren come together for another edition of the Crash MotoGP Podcast. In this episode, the trio discuss the reasons why Qatar's MotoGP race in April is likely to be cancelled as the conflict in the Middle East affects both the world of bikes and Formula 1. There's also first impressions of Honda's 850cc 2027 MotoGP Bike, and a debate about whether a Sprint Win, should count as a Grand Prix win after Acosta became its youngest ever winner in Thailand last week.

Dre Harrison, Lewis Duncan and Peter McLaren review all the action to come out of the 2026 Season Opener, the Thai Grand Prix. Marco Bezzecchi dominated in what may be Aprilia's greatest day in MotoGP, with four of their bikes in the Top 5. Is that a sign of things to come?

Pedro Acosta and Marc Marquez also went toe-to-toe in the Sprint race, with a controversial penalty demoting Marquez down to 2nd for Acosta to become MotoGP's youngest sprint winner. Was it the right decision?
