Episode 31 - Mugello, Where There's Smoke...

Kevin called it last episode that fans might burn the place to the ground if something did or did not happen to Rossi. Well they tried, but Kevin is still on suicide watch (kidding). This episode we cover the madness of the Mugello MotoGP round where everything went nuts from FP1 and didn't stop. We start with GP and all its disappointment and glory. Then we hit up the draft race in Moto3 and the debacle of Moto2. We cover a great Silly Season question from listener Dan and finally give credit t...

Episode 30 - Crashes in France and Suggestions From Jorge's PR Guy

Borenzo took over in LeMans, destroying everyone in QP and riding so amazingly smooth like he can. So Kevin is signing himself as Jorge's new PR guy and had more than a few suggestions. We started this one with race recaps including plenty about all the crashes in GP. Then PR Kevin jumps right in. Eventually we talk about the disappointment of Moto2 and why Moto3 is doing better in so many ways. We even manage to slot in some of HRC woes and a couple of listener questions as well. Are you ready ...

Episode 29 - GP Heat at Jerez and Listener Questions

The fly-away races are finished and MotoGP is back in Europe so Dennis takes over hosting duties en Español! Jerez alway seems to start something a little crazy for the season and this year was no different. The track was hot and slippery come race day and Rossi took advantage. Was his win all talent, the tires, someone else's fault? After that we cover an amazing Moto3 race, with Binder completely destroying the entire field... literally. We then discuss a few great listener questions and even ...

Episode 28 - BroSBK at Assen and Jorge in Red

Surprise episode! I doubt anyone expected us to record after a weekend without a GP race. But so much has happened and some of our fans really want us to cover WSBK, so here we are. The four of us spend about 25 minutes on WSBK and even some WSS: Sykes errors, weather mistakes, American on the box, you name it. Kev gets a little antsy during all that so we move onto the latest hot topic: Jorge moving to Ducati and silly season musical chairs. We finish up this episode with some more discussion a...

Episode 27 - Alien-in-Training Maverick plus Marc and Michelin

COTA turned out to be a bit processional in all 3 classes. But BrotoGP still has plenty to talk about. This week we let our listener questions guide almost the entire episode. After a quick recap of all 3 races, we spend some time on alien-in-training Maverick Vinales. Then we move onto the main question for everyone - are all these crashes really Michelin's fault? Everett decides to show up and derail the entire party, but we keep everything on track well enough. We finish up this episode with ...

Episode 26 - Madness in Argentina and Listener Questions

Did you watch the Argentina round of MotoGP yet? Could a single weekend have any more drama packed into it? Dennis did some moderating this time so we start off talking about his two standout race incidents, Maverick going down and Iannone committing the ultimate racing sin. Then we move on to the Michelin debacle and how it directly and indirectly affected the race. We even touch on Jorge's style, silly season, and do a little Cal bashing. Then we introduce the best part of this episode, our ne...

Episode 25 - BrotoGP Kicks Off With Qatar

The MotoGP season is finally here! Race 1 at Qatar is in the books. While the race might have been a Borenzo affair, this episode isn't. Maverick Vinales takes up a healthy chunk of this long episode. Of course we have to talk about Duc cheater motors and winglets. There's even some talk of Rossi Ranch Moto3 collusion and the Moto2 debacle in here. We were on a roll so this one went long. Enjoy.

Episode 24 - WorldSBK Races and GP Test at PI

BroSBK is here. Racing has started and we finally talk about WorldSBK. Rea reminded us why he's a champion and half of us get a little exciting about American's on the world stage. Of course this is BrotoGP, so we cover the GP test at Phillip Island: the injuries, who ran well, and some surprises. We never get all the topics in one episode so catch us soon after the Qatar GP test before their season starts.

Episode 23 - Sepang Winter Test and More Stoner

BrotoGP is finally back! The winter testing ban is over and we've got 3+ days of testing to cover. The Michelin tires would have been the highlight of the test had Casey Stoner not decide to actually test with the field. He keeps giving everyone hope that he's going to race (not gonna happen). We also cover the spec electronics, the Duc swarm, Jorge Lorenzo's form, and a bunch of other chatter.

Episode 22 - Stoner & Duc Love and a Fast Jerez

The winter testing ban is upon us, but we still need to cover the last bit of riding this year. Casey Stoner made it back to Ducati and Kev gives them a surprising amount of love. Both the GP and WSBK paddocks tested at Jerez... can we compare? All of the Ducs are doing quite well with the new electronics package and new Michelin tires and we even chat about Scott Redding. And of course, we had to talk about Rossi and Marquez a little bit.

Episode 21 - 2016 Winter Testing

A new motorcycle racing season is already here... well winter testing is underway. Turns out we had a lot to talk about with GP switching to new electronics and Michelin tires. That of course led to tangent after tangent of shit talking and even a pretty big segue over to Nicky Hayden in WorldSBK. We even covered Moto2 a bit with some predictions for next year. Stay with us this off-season.

Episode 20 - The End of 2015

The season finale at Valencia finished off what turned out to be one of the best championships of all time. We hit on the decision in the courts made before the weekend, which all but guaranteed we'd have an amazing race to talk about. Then more drama on track added fuel to the fire and got Kevin really heated (loud) in this episode. Finally we touch on any potential heirs to the throne. The 2015 season has come to an end, but we are all now looking forward to 2016. Stay tuned.

Nov 13, 20151 hr 10 min

Episode 19

Whoa, this episode is intense. We haven't talked to you in 3 races, so there was a lot to cover. We go over some highlights of Motegi, then jump right into the drama. Phillip Island was a barnstormer of a race with some hidden stories so we spend a lot of time on that. Then the press conference happened and sh*t hit the fan. Rossi's moves, his fate, Dorna's penalty system, and our Valencia predictions take us to 2 hours. Enjoy.

Episode 18

The Aragon race of MotoGP just happened, and while it didnt rain, we were still treated to an amazing race. Borenzo tried to ruin it for us, but MM (Marc Marquez), Pedrosa, and Rossi came through. We talk about more of the same from MM and the continual struggles and development of the RCV. Then we hit up on how the top guys in GP fight and pressure other riders and how some try to do it off-track. And finally we ramp up talks of next year's Michelin tires, Suzuki's lack of grunt, and hopefully ...

Episode 17

After thinking the Silverstone GP race was nuts, we were ecstatic to watch and talk about the Misano race. Who knew that riders could run an entire flag-to-flag race on slicks or crash and still finish on the box. Of course, Everett tries to temper Kev's Uccio-status, but we all know that'll never work. The championship is just getting more and more interesting each round.

Episode 16

BrotoGP is back! Our summer break was way too long, but we've finally managed to record another episode. With 3 races to discuss, there was a lot to talk about and with Rossi winning at Silverstone, things got a little crazy. I can't even begin to make a timeline for this episode.

Sep 24, 20151 hr 32 min

Episode 15

Its the GP summer break, but we still managed to find a lot to talk about. First Rob gives us an inside scoop on his weekend racing with MotoAmerica at Laguna. Then we segue into WSBK and the Davies double. We finally get into everything else about GP that we haven't had time to cover in previous episodes. Silly season is starting up so there's plenty of that. This is actually our longest episode yet, who knew that was going to happen with minimal racing going on.

Sep 24, 20151 hr 20 min

Episode 14

Into the 2015 MotoGP summer break we go, as we look back into Round 9 of the championship at Sachsenring, Germany. Marquez broke the current run of form of both Yamaha factory riders, but the battle for the title continues between Lorenzo and Rossi. This weekend is also Round 9 of World Superbikes right in our very own backyard at Mazda Raceway in Laguna Seca. Our boy Robert will be racing in MotoAmerica's Superstock 600 series, so he spends a bit of time talking about what he looks for in his u...

Episode 13

It's The Kevin Show this time out because for the esoteric few in the know, Kevin got himself temporarily banished from the home of Couch Racer's Corner itself. So we just knew how backed up Kevin was, and there was no point in getting in his way as he spits fire and brimstone from the Holy Gospel of Red. Basically, Kevin's just about gone bat-shit crazy on this one. Forget "divine intervention." This is "Kevin Intervention," and we don't even need an episode index for this one.

Sep 24, 20151 hr 16 min

Episode 12

This episode goes a little haywire as Kevin gets us to start off talking about the RC213V-S. After some intro madness, we dig into the consistent decline of Marc Marquez and HRC. Eventually we get to WSBK and things get interesting talking about anything but Rea.

Sep 24, 20151 hr 10 min

Episode 11

It's all about #MugelloGP. No further description needed. Simply M U G E L L O. Kind of like Prince, Madonna, and Bono. No last names needed. 'Nuff said.

Episode 10

This week we get another guest on board, Everett from BARF. He does a good job filling in for Dennis and provides a lot of insider info into team structures, factory contracts, and other rider info in MotoGP. We dive right into GP at LeMans, get distracted a bit talking about Karel Abraham and team structures. Then we hit up WSBK at Donington for a bit and finally talk about GP at Mugello.

Sep 24, 20151 hr 10 min

Episode 9

This episode we review GP at Jerez, WSBK at Imola, and talk about Le Mans a little bit as well. Dennis is missing again so the whole thing is a bit more "organic" and Kevin and Rob definitely talk shit a lot.

Episode 8

Recorded on 04/23/2015, we finally get a chance to take a break from two consecutive double-header weekends in April for World Superbikes and MotoGP. Spanning between Round 3 of World Superbikes in Aragon and Round 2 of MotoGP in Texas (CotA), up to Round 4 at Assen and Round 3 at Argentina for WSBK and MotoGP respectively, we round up all the notable racing action from each round of each series. To help us with all the commentary, Kevin even brought in his friend Detective John Kimble. Nice guy...

Sep 24, 20151 hr 5 min

Episode 7.5

Dennis is MIA this week and we are in between back-to-back races. So Kevin and I decided to do a half episode to talk about a few topics that we've previously missed from testing, Qatar, and how it ties into Circuit of the Americas. We finally make time to talk about Suzuki, Aleix & Maverick, and the competitiveness of the top 15. We'll be talking about the races front runners at COTA and Argentina next week in Episode 8, so stay tuned.

Sep 24, 201532 min

It's lucky number seven for Kevin, so we've dubbed it the unofficial Episode "46"! Recorded on April 2, 2015, we recap Round 2 of World Superbikes/Supersport in Buriram, and Round 1 of MotoGP in Qatar, then preview the upcoming WSBK and MotoGP rounds in Aragon and Texas respectively.

IT BEGINS! Round 1 of the 2015 World Superbike Season has kicked in and we recap the race weekend. We also brush up on the second preseason MotoGP testing at Sepang. But first, Kevin and I share our experience doing guest appearances at Re-Cycle Garage's local podcast, Motorcycles and Misfits.
