After some consideration, we decided to still record this week's podcast to celebrate an incredible weekend of racing and in part the life of Nicky Hayden. Kev starts us off in best way he knows, though we will do more to honor Nicky once we have more time. Then we jump into the hottest topic in GP, Johann Zarco. CycleGear hooked us up and we've got a Zarco-giveaway for you, so listen to find out how to win it. We then move over to the race winner Maverick, discuss the huge mistakes by the two o...

The Jerez GP round is supposed to be normal, a return back to Europe where we finally see how the real championship contenders will do. But not this year. Herve Poncharal ate his boogers. Dani Pedrosa reminded everyone why he has so many wins and is now 10pts back from title lead. Marquez was unable to successfully push hard for the win. Both factory Yamaha's struggled worse than their Satellite counterparts. Jorge got on the box. Jack Miller kinda threw down, twice. How much more crazy could th...

Everyone at BGP felt like we left a lot on the table from last episode. There was so much more to talk about after the COTA round but we know you aren't going to listen to 2hr episodes. So here's our extension of that... AND we even talk about WSBK! This episode starts off with the two underclasses in GP. Franco and Fenati get a lot of air time with plenty of shit-talking. Then we jump over to WSBK starting with the QP incident, Davies' harsh words, and Rea's penalty. On to the racing, its hard ...

GP was in America and Marquez won again - are u actually surprised? Even though the winner was somewhat expected, a ton of shit went down and we've got A LOT to talk about. Sorry we don't get to Moto2, Moto3, or MotoAmerica, but I still think you'll enjoy this one. Kev-Rants everywhere! We start off with a slight race recap, jumping right into early mistakes and on-track contact. Zarco gets plenty of air time, especially as we dive into the "bullshit" Rossi penalty. Maverick's mistakes get broug...

Maverick continued his domination of everything GP with another win in Argentina. But that's no the main focus of this episode. There were a lot of factory rider crashes that really shook up the field, yet a bunch of the riders claimed "ideal conditions" before the race. Rossi capitalized by putting in a very solid 350th GP after a tough weekend in practice and qualifying. Marquez, Pedrosa, Dovi, Jorge, and Aleix managed the opposite. We talk about some tires, the dirty track, rider's claims abo...

BrotoGP is back to full stride with GP racing in the Qatar desert. RiderzLaw and CycleGear are helping us out and we even give away a helmet in this episode. We talk about the weather first because this race almost didn't happen - what a clusterf***. Then we jump into the podium finishers and how they got there. After some shenanigans with a helmet and our listener reviews, we bring up some notable performances from Iannone, Aleix, and Zarco. Speaking of the M1, we then explore the development a...

GP testing is finally over, so we figured we'd round out the off-season with a review of the entire grid... slowest to fastest. But before we get there, CycleGear is now sponsoring BrotoGP and we are giving away a sick AGV Rossi Replica Helmet. Listen to figure out how to win it. After that, we cover the mind-boggling sneaklets, ducted winglets, whatever you want to call them, that Ducati finally debuted. Then we break into our grid review, starting the KTMs. Longest episode ever, definitely wor...

BrotoGP has a bit of a dilemma every time WSBK racing comes around. Everyone seems to care about GP more and SBK racing gets a bit lost. So for this episode, we are going to convince you (and Kev) to watch this racing. Crazy shit went down in Phillip Island with 3 amazing races. The Rea vs. Davies battle resumed with Marco Melandri spicing it up on the other Duc. The grid shuffle allowed more racers to fight up front in Race2. Even WSS had a crazy tight finish between some unexpected podium fini...

BrotoGP here covering last week's Phillip Island Test. Maverick continues his clean sweep of the off-season tests and you know Kev was going to show him some love. President Kev keeps us informed about Rossi's true performance and bashes on all the other fake news floating around about him in 12th. We cover a brewing Marquez-Vinales rivalry a bit, then jump right into all the aero-developments we saw at the test. Duc has to come up, including Jorge's so far lack-luster performance and interviews...

While we are in between GP testing, BrotoGP is excited to bring you another real and honest racer interview. 2013 AMA Superbike and 2016 MotoAmerica Superstock1000 Champ Josh Herrin joins us in this one to spill about racing in America and his time in the Moto2 class. We start this one off talking about his struggles and successes during the 2016 season and his big plans for the Superbike class in 2017. Then we jump into the 2014 Moto2 season and why things didn't exactly go as planned. Josh cov...

The long winter is finally subsiding. MotoGP was back at Sepang these past few days, so we finally have motorcycles on a track to talk about. Maverick finished on top AGAIN and everyone is finally coming around to the idea that the championship is him vs Marquez. HRC acts like they are struggling even though their issues seem to be again masked by Marc's talent. Jorge's love for the Duc isn't strong yet, but he's Jorge. Ev gets some mad conspiracies in here, making you really wonder what's going...

BrotoGP is back! Testing in 2017 hasn't started just yet. So this time, we reached out to all of our listeners asking for questions that you want us to talk about. We got plenty of responses ranging from Michelin to Moto2 to Rossi vs Mav. Of course there were plenty of non-moto questions too and we had to throw those in there... looking at you Paul Saylor. We didn't get to all of the questions, but we'll try to keep up on them as we all survive the offseason.

Dennis took the reins on this episode with a set of questions for the BrotoGP regulars, a sort of throwback episode to the original BrotoGP format. We know all you want to hear is Kev but everyone gets their shit-talking in on this one. We cover 125/250 vs Moto3/Moto2, #wingletsandchill, and Gigi and the new Ducati. Then things get real crazy with some mad pipedreams for GP, Kawi and BMW in GP (???), and Kev throws in a rant about WSBK to save Rob. We had a lot of fun with this one. Enjoy.

Winter is here, but BrotoGP presented by RiderzLaw isn't going anywhere. Two MotoGP tests went down since we last recorded, the public Valencia test and a private Jerez test. With more than a few riders switching teams and a bunch moving up from Moto2, there was plenty to talk about. We start this one off with Maverick and Kev's favorite livery of the test. Then we hit up Jorge and the possibility that he's going to surprise us next year... or maybe we shouldn't be surprised. Rob get's to bag on...

Valencia has come and gone, which means the 2016 MotoGP season is over. We didn't have a title to talk about, but racers still gonna race! Thankfully Iannone showed us why he's the Maniac and spiced up the GP race. We highlight Jorge's performance and all the shade he's been getting for a bad second half the season. Kev goes wild on Valencia itself and Rob pretty much says "told you so" with KTM. We talk about Moto2 and Moto3, though perhaps not how you'd expect. We didn't get to the Valencia Te...

GP returnee Karel Abraham has been listening to BrotoGP and decided to hop on with us for an interview. It was a big surprise to hear Karel's name pop up for the final silly season seat over at Aspar Ducati. So he hammers out the details on the move back to the GP paddock and spills why he's leaving WSBK... even though he had offers to stay. Karel is also one of the few riders with experience on the newest entry into GP - KTM. We get Karel's predictions for that bike, some more info on Michelins...

In case anyone forgot, this is 2016 - a year in GP to expect the unexpected. Just when you think that 9 winners isn't going to happen, Dovi pulls it out. Malaysia was insane with hot wet weather and new asphalt that never dried. All 3 races fit the bill perfectly. Kev's bromance takes another turn as he tells us how he's been feeling about Dovi this year. Then we touch on #MakeDucatiGreatAgain and the next step in their resurgence. Rossi and Marquez come up with a slight amount of disappointment...

This one starts off a little different as Kev gets heated telling you about what went down with BrotoGP last week - you'll see. The whole racing weekend was a big cluster, with the weather playing havoc in all 3 classes. So we went through the order this time. Moto3's nasty crash, the Italian disappointment, and Binder's pwn-age start us off. Then we get to Moto2, the championship that no one actually wants to win. Thankfully Luthi and Franco are spicing it up. We jump into GP and start off with...

The title hunt is over (ya spoilers) - just a little bit sooner than we had all hoped. Marquez once again showed everyone why he's so far ahead, pressuring his rivals into mistakes that have become all to frequent. Whenever someone crashes, there are fingers to point. Was Yamaha's development lacking? Does the Michelin front tire provide too little feedback? Is Rossi over the hill or was he just too sick? We went organic on this episode and covered it all. Somewhere in there Kev rants about some...

Aragon was a race of two halves, one with a few surprises and a ton of excitement and the other with only one "good" pass attempt. Its hard to compare all that to the 8 winners in the previous 8 races. We at least recap the first half with Marquez almost blowing it and Maverick kinda almost pulling it off. The championship did go the wrong way by 9pts - is it finally over? After all that, we dig into the main cause for all the variability this year - Michelin. Too many front tires once again fav...

Someone said that Misano would be hot enough for Dani to do well, but we didn't expect him to win. He surprised us for about 5 minutes, then we all realized that he shows this late-form every year. The Rossi / Marquez points battle tightened a little bit more, but nothing like the Moto2 championship. Who would have guessed that Rins would close the gap with a busted collarbone. We cover all the GP injuries, Kev get's to show love for his boy Pirro as Duc skirts the rules, and we question whether...

2016 is still the year of surprises. This round did not disappoint. Dry track time was limited, but Maverick Vinales dropped the hammer on his competition and finally dominated an entire weekend. With that kind of performance on the Suzuki, Kev just had to take it out on Mav's teammate, Aleix Espargaro. That rant got dirty and he eventually dragged Pol into it as well. While Mav pulled away during the race, the battle for 2nd was red hot. Win-or-bin Marquez returned, the GOAT finished ahead of h...

Ever wonder what its like to be apart of the traveling circus that is the MotoGP paddock? This episode we jump right into that and more with a MotoGP insider interview - GP photographer Scott Jones.

It rained again and the GP race was drama-filled and exciting even before the warm-up lap. BrotoGP has now introduced a new segment - Cal Kudos. After giving Cal his due, we go off on what a crazy season this has been, perfect for the 10-year anniversary of ZOOG (2006). We've had electronics changes, tire issues, bad factory performances, multiple new winners... you name it. Kev can't contain some pent up #calbashingtime. But we were able to calm him down by bagging on Jorge. Moto3 gets a bunch ...

Did you enjoy our cliffhanger in Episode 36? Did you watch the race yet?!?! Duc and Kev went HAM for this one. Its almost like it was all planned out. Iannone and Ducati get the majority of the time for this episode. Then we cover each of the championship contenders, especially the new developments for Marquez. We bash a little more on Moto2 to finish up what was started in the last episode. Then we wrap this with thoughts on Marquez's injury and the race and title implications at Brno.

The summer break is too long, but we are back. Everyone already did their season recaps, so we spice this one up by talking about everything else. The current Moto2 leaders get a lot of air time this episode. Kev comes down hard on Rins and we really explore his and Zarco's championship. After that we talk about their coming transition into GP and someone shows up to briefly talk about his disappointment with Lowes/Aprilia. Keeping with Silly Season, we talk a little bit about some recent WSBK n...

The last round before MotoGP's long summer break just had to be a good one. Jorge's crashes and his trip through Qualifying 1 made for an exciting Saturday. Then it rained! The GP race was littered with saves, luck, and tactical errors... so much that Kev is at a crossroads in his relationship with Rossi. Marquez's trip through the gravel was easily overcome by his team's great choices, something that can't be said of the other factories. His domination of the series keeps growing like his point...

BrotoGP got the hook-up from Karel Abraham and actually went to a WorldSBK race. MotoAmerica was there too, but Rob unfortunately joined the broken-clavicle moto club. So #robbashingtime is now a thing. But hey, there were two good WorldSBK races to watch and talk about: Kawi domination, Duc choking, and our favorite takeaways from the weekend. Kevin rants a bit about the state of the WorldSBK grid while tying it all into Moto2. Then we end this one with MotoGP Sachsenring predictions and more s...

1000 to 1 odds were enough to leave us speechless, just like Kev topping his Rossi poem from last episode. But hey, this is BrotoGP. Too much standing water, a red flag, and a whole new race were enough to make us want to throw something at the TV. Then Jack showed up, so we had a lot to talk about there. Mature Marc gets some coverage along with all the championship implications. Then we get onto the last of the Silly Season and even hit up the performances in the lower classes. Kev rants about...

BrotoGP and the entire motorcycle world had a rough weekend at Catalunya, so we start this episode with our thoughts and tributes to Luis Salom. After that we announce some big news, our first sponsor and supporter, RiderzLaw. We jump right into talking about the GOAT and we think you'll be surprised at how well Kev can bro down. Kev goes HAM like Iannone did up Jorge's rear end. The heat and slippery track in Spain definitely made this episode a good one. Enjoy.
