Barcelona 2025 - Laws of the Jungle
It's a jungle out there* and the predators are running wild! That's the metaphor Peter uses to describe today's race, explaining why he and Mat have a very clear Man of the Match in Barcelona. Spoiler warning: he came in fifth today...And yes, the Marquez siblings continue to reign supreme as they dominate every other rider who showed up to their home country. But surprisingly, it's Alex that takes the number one position. Is Marc slipping? Is he going soft on family? Or is he suddenly showing a special kind of restraint? Well, it can't be the first option if there's a two-second gap between those chargers up front and the runner-ups behind them. Maybe the answer is a lot more simple. As Mat puts it: who'd want to fuck up their own brother? And can you even hold that against someone? Also up for discussion is the future of Ducati. They doing fantastic right now, but a lot of that has to do with those above-mentioned Spanish brothers. Meanwhile the other manufacturers are getting closer and closer, and a clear counter has not yet been shown. So let's go bonkers about Barcelona in today's episode. Cheers! *A metaphorical one, mind you - our dreams of monkeys and tigers racing motorbikes have yet to come true. Want more? Visit our website or support us on Patreon.

MotoGP - Live From Phillip Island, 2015!
Ten years ago, two riders had a bit of a scuffle. Today, we’re still seeing the consequences play out. The place? The Phillip Island racetrack, Australia. The time? September, 2015. Going neck-on-neck are two riders of a special caliber. The first has long cemented his legacy as one of the best riders in history – a living legend on wheels. But he’s fighting now, struggling against a Spanish newcomer who’s got his eyes on the prize. Before this, they presented themselves as amicable competitors. By the time this race is over, the seeds for a legendary rivalry will have been sown. That’s right, this week we’re looking at the origin point of Rossi versus Márquez! How? By live commentating on it, of course! So go load up the race from wherever you can, follow Mat’s instructions and join us as we travel back in time to settle the matter once and for all...Want more?

Balaton 2025 - Press 'START' for Mario MotoGP
Wa-hoo! It's Mario ̶K̶a̶r̶t̶ MotoGP, where chaos reigns on a brand new track with more turns that Rainbow Road. This is very exciting, much like falling down the stairs is a thrilling experience. Who knows, maybe next year we'll see Marc Marquéz being chased by Blue Shells! If it sounds like we're grumpy this week, it's probably because there's nothing more frustrating than an interesting failure. Is Balaton really this bad? Yes, and that's because it's doing the right things in all the wrong places. Like certain video games, it's giving us so much to do that actual racing becomes an afterthought. If all of the above sounds confusing, then that's probably because I should just let Mat and Peter explain it. So come with us as we grab our controllers, pick our characters, and...LET'S-A-GO!

Austria 2025 - Aprilia Attacks!
Look, we all knew who was going to win this one. We're living in strange times, when legends ride amongst us. You might say this makes things too predictable - it's always going to be Mark on number one, driving the Ducati. But even Ducati's dominance cannot remain absolute - not forever, at least. Enter Aprilia, taking third place on the podium with a machine piloted by Bezzecchi. And right behind comes KTM, with a respectable fourth place in the troubled manufacturer's home game. Interesting things are afoot...and then there's still an entire race to talk about! I'm just going to hand you off to Mat and Peter, okay? Cheers! Want more?
