Did you really think Miguel Oliveira was going to win? Again? On a KTM? In Portugal? What...the...2020. Let the MotoGP Off-Season begin! This one gets nuts and a bit NSFW - I mean, even more than normal.
MotoGP 2020 is decided. Its time to talk championships, later development for Suzuki, Franco Morbidelli and the "worst" Yamaha, the exodus from GP by the old guard, and the disappointment that is Taka Nakagami at Honda. #mirchampionship #motogp #francowinsagain Visit https://www.brotogp.com for BGP Swag Visit https://www.riderzlaw.com to contact Sy and Lawyer Rob for all your legal needs...
It was about time for 2020 to start nailing down the MotoGP champion. Joan Mir now has one hand on the trophy after the Valencia #1 race. Yamaha was caught cheating just before, which turned out to NOT be the worst part of their weekend. And the rest of the grid showed they aren't championship ready - except Alex Rins of course. #yamahacheats #suzukiwins #motogp Visit https://www.brotogp.com for BGP Swag Visit https://www.riderzlaw.com to contact Sy and Lawyer Rob for all your legal needs...
The 2020 MotoGP championship will certainly be remembered. But what of its newly crowned champion? Will this championship mean MORE to the racers, teams, and fans? Or will everyone attach a big fat asterisk to this crazy season and the title winner? #brotogp #championshipwithnowins #motogp2020 Visit https://www.brotogp.com for BGP Swag Visit https://www.riderzlaw.com to contact Sy and Lawyer Rob for all your legal needs...
The Le Mans and Aragon 1 rounds of MotoGP were full of new surprises. Fabio Quartararo, Joan Mir, Valentino Rossi, Alex Marquez, Andrea Dovizioso - take your pick. They've all left the MotoGP world a little shocked. The 2020 Championship closes up once again! Joe Roberts made the headlines twice for these rounds - one bad and one good tidbit. We'll probably have some time for MotoAmerica and US Road Racing in this one too.
Huge mistakes had a major impact on the races at Misano and Catalunya with both Pecco Bagnaia and Andrew Dovizioso crashing out. Ducati racers choked and the championship has now swung back in favor of Yamaha and Suzuki - yes Suzuki. Fabio Quartararo is the winningest rider this year, but Joan Mir is coming for him. Dennis and Kev get into a heated debate over the best bike on the grid - Yamaha or Suzuki. One side looks at the numbers and the other goes off emotion, and you might be surprised wh...
The home crowd at Misano always hopes for a race like this - and they finally got one. Well, maybe except for the last lap. But once again, we were treated to more than a few surprises with this race. We covered a lot of topics during this episode - KTM vs Suzuki again, the "real" season started at Misano, the effects of COVID and a missing Marquez, Alex Marquez's issues in GP, Maverick's woes, and Dovi's retirement questions. But the main topic is of course Franco Morbidelli, Rossi's legacy, an...
The uncertainty of MotoGP races in 2020 is insane. The crash during Austria #1 was scary. The rest of the racing, especially Austria #2 was exciting to say the least. Andrea Dovisioso wins within 24 hours of telling Ducati to kick rocks. Joan Mir shows Jack Miller the best line on the final lap. Red flags impacted EVERYTHING. Miguel Oliveira stole the show from both Miller and Pol Espargaro. Oh, and did we mention that Marc Marquez won't be back for a while? We can only hope this insanity contin...
MotoGP 2020 is something new, something different that you've never seen before. And we like it! GP hit their 2 track (3 round) of the year at Brno this past weekend. As with life right now, it was NUTS! If you haven't seen the race yet, go watch it NOW! Here are the quick talking points: - Brad Binder and KTM Won a GP Race. - Johann Zarco put a 3rd-tier Ducati on the podium even after a bullshit penalty. - Franco Morbidelli rode like a boss and finally defeated his teammate (and all the other Y...
I doubt anyone would have guessed that the (first) Andalucian GP at Jerez would be MORE action packed than last weekend's shocking result. There was no race for the lead, but the rest of the pack more than made up for it. There were tons of passes, lots of mistakes, mechanicals, and so many crashes that we had to cringe. There's lots to talk about. Let's do this! #fabiowinsagain #valentinorossipodium #motogp Visit https://www.brotogp.com for BGP Swag Visit https://www.riderzlaw.com to contact Sy...
MotoGP at its first Spanish GP in Jerez race was HOT. The track was baking, the teams were on the back-foot, and the riders said this would be one of the most difficult races ever. Some racers were caught out as early as Saturday. Other races made mistakes Sunday morning. And there were a few big mistakes during the Sunday race. This race was NUTS! #marcmarquezcrash #motogp #fabiowins Visit https://www.brotogp.com for BGP Swag Visit https://www.riderzlaw.com to contact Sy and Lawyer Rob for all ...
MotoGP's first event of 2020 starts in a few hours. Sure, we had Moto2 and Moto3 race at Qatar. Now its time for the big show. Its time to remind ourselves how amazing life can be with the fastest racers and motorcycles on the planet finally hitting the track in anger. #motogp #jerez1 #prerace Visit https://www.brotogp.com for BGP Swag Visit https://www.riderzlaw.com to contact Sy and Lawyer Rob for all your legal needs...
MotoGP hosted a virtual race featuring 10 GP riders that could be convinced to buy a video game. It was definitely fun - but you know Kev had something to rant about. This episode then flows into any topic you can think of. The most relevant topic might be the idea that wishing for pro sports in a normal world might not be the best thing right now. The cutest topic might have been 'cats'. The most off the wall-topic is the surprising and newly formed BrotoGP Book Club. The most entertaining topi...
WorldSBK at Phillip Island treated us to some of the closest racing we've seen from that paddock for a decade. Toprak Razgotlioglu, Johnny Rea, and Alex Lowes all took home wins. With Scott Redding bagging three 3rds and Michael Van Der Mark close behind, the championship is tight for the top 5. Hopefully this is a preview of things to come for the entire year and we get a 3-4 horse race for the 'ship. Unfortunately, amazing racing in Australia isn't the biggest story of the week. The global hea...
February 2020 is here, which means MotoGP bikes on track for pre-season testing. There has been a lot of racing news over the past month or two. Here's our highlights. Andrea Iannone still isn't riding because his B-sample failed. His lawyers are doing there thing and he might still race this year. Jorge Lorenzo is back on a Yamaha and many are stoked about it. Of course, the Yamaha won testing again. The Dorna Media Machine is making it painfully clear that Marquez's shoulder isn't 100% - Broto...
Rob's Tech Tape is back, and this time we went Live! MotoAmerica Superbike racer Kyle Wyman is joining me to add a ton more experience and insight for all these questions. We cover everything from riding technique, to motorcycle electronics, to tires. Some topics we go way too far into and others we just brush the surface. #robstechtape #brotogplive #kylewyman
Do you take supplements? Are you absolutely certain there are no illicit or banned substances in them? How do you know? Andrea Iannone has almost failed a drug test, with his A-sample containing an anabolic steroid. BrotoGP has no idea what's going to happen to his career just yet. But first, Kev wants to set a few things straight. #1 - Its very possible to unknowingly consume a tainted supplement. #2 - PEDs would benefit motorcycle racing in more ways than you might think. This goes deep. After...
The end of the 2019 MotoGP season brought a big surprise. Jorge Lorenzo announced his retirement after a string of crashes, injuries, and poor results on the Repsol Honda. Fabio Quartararo was once again unable to beat Marc Marquez in a race. This along with all the hype has Rob digging into stats. Alex Marquez was quickly announced as Jorge's replacement, to no one's surprise and to lots of complaints. Kev tries to figure out why, in the real BGP way. #jorgelorenzoretirement #alexmarquez #fabio...
Chronicling the true story of 68 year old New Zealand native Burt Munro and his quest to set a land speed record, The World's Fastest Indian has cemented itself as a pinnacle of the motorsport movie genre. Almost fifteen years after its release, we sit down to offer a fresh and contemporary analysis of a film that’s only gained relevance with age. #worldsfastestindian #moviereview #burtmunro
All the Yamahas are finally seeing some improvement in MotoGP near the end of the season. So we finally get a real battle between Maverick Vinales and Marc Marquez. We've had to wait quite a while, but it might have been worth it. We also cover Fabio and his disappointment, Alex Marquez's Moto2 title, and some other Yamaha topics. We haven't spoken highly of Yamaha in months, so this one felt good. #maverickvinaleswin #marcmarquez #alexmarquezchampionship Visit https://www.brotogp.com for BGP Sw...
BrotoGP is here to wax poetically about the most exciting things in motorcycle racing. The Japanese GP at Motegi was not one of those. Thankfully we are gifted with a new British Superbike Champ in Scott Redding. Leon Camier and Barni racing gets a little air-time. We cover the "fiasco" that was Race 1 of the WSBK Argentina round in San Juan, based on the little information that we have. And we finally talk about Johann Zarco riding for HRC for the 3 season-ending races. Phillip Island is up tom...
We're back and not much has changed since we last recorded. The 2019 MotoGP championship is sealed with Marquez finishing in front of Dovisiozo. Fabio Quatararo almost won that race just like Kev almost didn't mini-rant this episode. But the real meat and potatoes of this podcast is two points: 1. What's more exciting - good races and a boring championship OR bland races and an exciting championship? 2. Garrett Gerloff is going to race in WorldSBK Kyle Wyman joins us and bring a lot of insight a...
MotoGP is back from the summer break and Marc Marquez did the thing in Brno. Ya - the weather was tricky. Ya - Zarco put it on the front row. Ya - Cal was mean to Taka. Ya - Rins got mad. And all that made for the most exciting race in history! (sarcasm). BrotoGP tried, we really tried! #motogp #nothinghappened #marquezwinsagain Visit https://shop.brotogp.com for BGP Swag Visit https://www.riderzlaw.com to contact Sy and Lawyer Rob for all your legal needs...
Is Maverick Vinales back? Is Yamaha back? They won at Assen again. Sorry, BrotoGP is going with a bit fat "nope". He might show well at Sachsenring, but don't expect regular podiums or wins from him for most of the 2nd half of the season. MotoE is HERE! We spend quite a bit of time giving you a little preview of what to expect, what's different, and how we think it will go. Kev thinks that one of MotoE biggest fake issues right now might be there largest strength - a lack of noise. Check it out....
BrotoGP does record when Marc Marquez wins! MotoGP was back at one of my favorite tracks - Catalunya - but Jorge Lorenzo ruined most of the race. Kev lays out how you might be feeling about him losing ground on becoming our antihero. Jorge, you could have been Deadpool! After that, we jump into Fabio Quartararo vs Casey Stoner. I'll say it right now, Fabio is looking better than Stoner right now. We cover their rookie years and talk about LCR vs Petronas SRT. Gotta love that oil money. Lastly, w...
We start this one off with a topic you might not expect... Jorge Lorenzo. Jorge Lorenzo isn't exactly setting the grid on fire with his performances on the RC213V. It might be considered the best bike in MotoGP, but he simply cannot ride it well enough. But that doesn't mean Jorge is going to be dropped from the team (early). Mugello was the culmination of a life's work for Danilo Petrucci and it showed on his face in parc ferme. A win on your home soil, in front of all those fans, against the b...
There were a trio of Ducati's near the front of Le Mans and two of them are building a massive rivalry for that factory seat - Petrucci and Miller. This race goes to Petrux. But we'll be keeping an eye on both of them, on and off-track. Kev shares an amazing story about pizza. Then we dive into the surprise of Fabio and the disappointment of Mav, building our own rivalry for them. We jump into some cognitive dissonance to make unsurprising wins a little more exciting. Then we finish this one off...
GP made it back to Europe for the Jerez round. Classically, this means the factory teams and the championship contenders start gapping the rest of the field... but that isn't exactly what happened. Marquez still did his thing after HRC convinced him the COTA crash was the bike's fault. But we had plenty of surprises from Quartararo, Morbidelli, and Vinales. And there were a few "1-star reviews" on top of that with disappointments from Jorge, Dovisiozo, and even Rossi. On top of that, KTM and Zar...
WorldSBK is at a crossroads right now. Bautista is winning everything (literally) and bringing more eyes to the series. But if he keeps doing it, will they stay? Rea and Kawi may fight back, but that arms race is going to leave other factories behind. Kev has a solution, but its probably not what you think. We spend some time talking about Moto2 talent as well. Tom Luthi is showing he's the true Gatekeeper in Moto2, Schrotter has upgraded to Journeyman, Baldassarri is true talent, and the rest.....
MotoGP at Circuit of the Americas gave all the fans plenty of surprises. Rins' talent and Suzuki's development have been confirmed with their first win together, Suzuki's first since Vinales left the team. America fans were able to see Rossi back on the box. And Jack Miller showed us that he can ride the Pramac Ducati in the dry like the best Pramac riders before him - with a few extra f-bombs. But that's not all. Marquez may have showed us that if he doesn't practice crashing (in practice), he ...
