Speaker 1: Alora Murdo Gip heads to the Mazzano World Circuit Marcos
0:04
Speaker 1: Simonchelli and for the championship leader Joje Martine. This means
0:08
Speaker 1: he heads behind enemy lines as the VR forty six
0:11
Speaker 1: Academy rule the roost. Here in remeny Jiaoduti. I'm your host,
0:17
Speaker 1: Rinita Vmullin, and here to help preview the Grand Primo
0:20
Speaker 1: red budis San Marino Adela Riviera. Did Rimini is a
0:24
Speaker 1: man who is like a fine Italian pizza. He's got
0:27
Speaker 1: the right ingredients, knowledge, insight and just a hint of
0:31
Speaker 1: spice bon.
0:33
Speaker 2: Matt Clayton married that was unbelievable because I almost burst
0:39
Speaker 2: out laughing at the first Alora, because I just got
0:41
Speaker 2: flashbacks of every single time I bid an depressa with
0:44
Speaker 2: Valentino over the.
0:45
Speaker 3: Years, and he just does that thing where he thinks
0:47
Speaker 3: of the question in English, translates it to Italian, comes
0:50
Speaker 3: up with the answer, and every answer starts with a
0:53
Speaker 3: lotta you know, very thoughtfully. So I did enjoy that
0:56
Speaker 3: very much, and you even managed to get the name
0:58
Speaker 3: of the event out, which while you were doing that,
1:01
Speaker 3: I just realized his eighty eight characters, which is about
1:03
Speaker 3: twice a length of Sunday's Grit Masardo. But who's counting.
1:07
Speaker 1: We're on video, but you guys only see the audio,
1:09
Speaker 1: and I was doing all they in hand gestures. I
1:11
Speaker 1: was really trying to get into character.
1:13
Speaker 3: With that one fantastic Oh my.
1:16
Speaker 1: God, well, Matt, so obviously we've introed that. But heading
1:19
Speaker 1: back to Mazzano second gear in a row where Peco
1:22
Speaker 1: Banyaya heading to his home Grand Prix injured, is this
1:26
Speaker 1: the edge that Joge Martin needs this weekend?
1:30
Speaker 3: Well, I reckon jje Martin had sign up for a
1:33
Speaker 3: repeat of last year's Grand Prix because obviously Peko came very,
1:36
Speaker 3: very injured to Messano last year after that absolutely terrifying
1:40
Speaker 3: accident that he'd had seven days earlier at Catalunia. And
1:42
Speaker 3: I was writing a preview piece earlier this week, and
1:45
Speaker 3: I have this thing about describing injuries for body parts
1:49
Speaker 3: where a human has more than one of them. I
1:50
Speaker 3: don't just like to say it's a leg injury. I
1:52
Speaker 3: wouldn't know if it's a a right leg injury or
1:54
Speaker 3: a left leg injury, because I'm just pedantic with things
1:57
Speaker 3: like this. So of course I went back and watched
1:59
Speaker 3: the accident from thelast year at Catalunia, and I forgot
2:01
Speaker 3: how bad that was and just how horrendous and how unlucky,
2:06
Speaker 3: how lucky sorry he was to actually get away with that,
2:08
Speaker 3: and it was his right leg for those of you
2:09
Speaker 3: playing at home, But he was so compromised last year
2:12
Speaker 3: that that was a bit of an own goal for
2:14
Speaker 3: Jgey Martin, and he duly won the sprint and the
2:16
Speaker 3: Grand Prix. But you said it before, Martin behind enemy Lines,
2:21
Speaker 3: I thought was a really really good line, because he's
2:24
Speaker 3: going to not only Peco's backyard, this is an AA
2:27
Speaker 3: Bastia in his backyard, it's Marco Berzeki's backyard. There's a
2:30
Speaker 3: whole bunch of Italian riders that could lap this circuit blindfolded.
2:34
Speaker 3: Jorge Martin has last year's winning his pocket, he has
2:37
Speaker 3: the championship lead in his pocket, but he's very much
2:40
Speaker 3: on the defensive for the next couple of weekends. Peco.
2:43
Speaker 3: I don't think anywhere hears injured as he was last year.
2:46
Speaker 3: But whatever advantage that ha Hay can take out of
2:48
Speaker 3: these two rounds remember at Massano, the better. So all
2:52
Speaker 3: sets it up for a really interesting weekend. I think
2:54
Speaker 3: because of what happened last Sunday at Aragon.
2:58
Speaker 1: We'll get into a little bit more of the track
3:00
Speaker 1: action soon, but for those of you who aren't sure
3:03
Speaker 1: about how close we're talking, so Tavulia where Valentino Rossi
3:07
Speaker 1: is from, I google map sit eighteen minutes from San
3:10
Speaker 1: Marino Circuit, his hometown and Aobashanini you mentioned before, he's
3:14
Speaker 1: born in Rymany twenty five minutes, so it is literally
3:19
Speaker 1: those writers that you mentioned. It is their home circuit
3:21
Speaker 1: where Valentino's ranches, the VR forty six Academy. They come
3:25
Speaker 1: and train at this track so you mentioned it. They
3:28
Speaker 1: could do this with their eyes closed and probably like
3:31
Speaker 1: one hand on the handlebar, one leg up in the air,
3:33
Speaker 1: doing all sorts of tricks and still manage to set
3:36
Speaker 1: a fast lap around this circuit. But coming from last
3:40
Speaker 1: weekend where we weren't short, the surface was going to
3:42
Speaker 1: be like and it ended up being quiet slippery and
3:44
Speaker 1: we had a lot of issues with grip. We're coming
3:47
Speaker 1: to a track now that is known for its grip.
3:50
Speaker 1: So it makes me think, are we just going to
3:52
Speaker 1: see another do Caddi dominance this weekend?
3:55
Speaker 3: History would suggest that's probably on the cards and particularly
3:59
Speaker 3: with one of those home riders that you mentioned. I
4:01
Speaker 3: don't think there's going to be anywhere near as many
4:02
Speaker 3: variables as there was Aragon, because Aragon was it was
4:06
Speaker 3: going to be bizarre anyway, because of this new track
4:08
Speaker 3: surface and it clearly wasn't properly cured embedded in as
4:11
Speaker 3: we saw just by the color of it. And then
4:13
Speaker 3: the fact that the weather was so random at Aragon for
4:15
Speaker 3: those couple of days, and we mentioned this on our
4:17
Speaker 3: Aragon review podcast, all of those potential trip wires on
4:21
Speaker 3: that circuit and that weekend is just Mark Marquez's territory
4:24
Speaker 3: because he's the fastest guy to adapt to a changing circuit.
4:27
Speaker 3: So it's very much a known quantity. At Mazzano. You
4:30
Speaker 3: can get some weather there. I mean, we've seen some
4:32
Speaker 3: wet ones there in the past and a couple of
4:34
Speaker 3: flag to flags there in the past. It's so close
4:36
Speaker 3: to the coast that the weather can roll in a
4:38
Speaker 3: little bit. But it's much more of a known quantity.
4:42
Speaker 3: And for that reason, Bannal, we don't know what percentage
4:45
Speaker 3: of fitness is going to be. After that accident with
4:47
Speaker 3: Alex Marquez at Aragon, he did mention his sword neck
4:50
Speaker 3: and he certainly won't be at one hundred percent, but
4:53
Speaker 3: you look at him and Bashianei on the GP twenty fours,
4:56
Speaker 3: Bashianeni's always been really good here, even before he started
4:59
Speaker 3: to emerge as a World Championship Grand Prix winner and
5:03
Speaker 3: Moto GP. If you cast your mind back to those
5:05
Speaker 3: I think it was twenty one where he was on
5:07
Speaker 3: that Avincia. Ducati qualified like fifteenth or sixteenth in both
5:11
Speaker 3: of the two races that year, finished on the podium,
5:13
Speaker 3: so it shows you how good he is there. But
5:16
Speaker 3: it's hard to look past a da Cati for the
5:20
Speaker 3: main podium places in this weekend. But I don't want to,
5:24
Speaker 3: don't want to jinx it after what we did last
5:26
Speaker 3: weekend with the crystal ball. But if anyone's going to
5:28
Speaker 3: challenge him, it might be in a Prilier weekend to
5:30
Speaker 3: come through because Maverick particularly is particularly strong on this track.
5:34
Speaker 3: But it's still really hard so look past Ducatti because
5:37
Speaker 3: of the strength of the riders and the fact that
5:39
Speaker 3: so many of their riders Peco and a Bastianini, Marco
5:42
Speaker 3: Bozeki that I mentioned at Fabio de Jane Antonio, this
5:45
Speaker 3: is a track they all know, so well, so it
5:47
Speaker 3: really is Jorge versus the Italians this weekend, isn't it?
5:50
Speaker 1: Mohayvers the Italians? I love it. Looking at last year's
5:55
Speaker 1: results as well, Marco Betzeki was on the podium in
5:58
Speaker 1: the sprint and the me and Grand Prix, and I
6:01
Speaker 1: loved that clip where Marco Betzeki and Paco Banaa were
6:06
Speaker 1: kind of giving each other a little bit of a
6:09
Speaker 1: back chat in the post race press conference. I don't
6:12
Speaker 1: know if you remember that where Becky was talking about
6:15
Speaker 1: something and then Marco Betzeki was like, yeah, but who's third?
6:18
Speaker 1: Who won this race?
6:19
Speaker 3: Not you so kicking Hi man when he's down like
6:23
Speaker 3: Pecko's limping around with one working leg that weekend. But yeah,
6:27
Speaker 3: there's some history where those two is there. But yeah,
6:30
Speaker 3: you mentioned Bears. Isn't it funny? Like you look back
6:32
Speaker 3: at last year's results and so often we're seeing him
6:35
Speaker 3: on podiums. He obviously won three Grand Prix last year
6:38
Speaker 3: and he's just been so anonymous this year. Really hasn't
6:42
Speaker 3: worked with that GP twenty three for him. He's not
6:44
Speaker 3: a podium at Harrath. We remember that, but it's been
6:48
Speaker 3: few and far between, and I don't know about you,
6:50
Speaker 3: but I thought it was pretelling last weekend that until Fabiota,
6:53
Speaker 3: Jan Antonio had that post race penalty put in for
6:56
Speaker 3: the tire pressure of the sixteen second penalty. Pretty second
7:00
Speaker 3: and to Jane ANTONIOO beat Bozeki and Aragon last weekend
7:03
Speaker 3: on the same bike, and I'm thinking, Wow, it does
7:05
Speaker 3: show you what a difference a year has made. And
7:08
Speaker 3: it's kind of gone a little bit beneath the radar
7:10
Speaker 3: because of other stories elsewhere in the paddock. But Bozeki
7:13
Speaker 3: just has not been the same rider this year.
7:14
Speaker 1: Has he?
7:15
Speaker 2: No?
7:16
Speaker 1: Even at like the beginning of the year, he was
7:18
Speaker 1: quite open and honest and just said I am not
7:21
Speaker 1: gelling at all with this GP. Now he's on the
7:25
Speaker 1: twenty four, isn't he?
7:26
Speaker 3: He's on the twenty three. Forty six guys are on
7:30
Speaker 3: the twenty three, and it's just it's interesting, I think
7:32
Speaker 3: that and the different reartire this year probably doesn't allow
7:35
Speaker 3: him to slide the bike quite as much, and he's
7:38
Speaker 3: someone who's really paid the price for that because he
7:41
Speaker 3: has a natural style. He's a bit of a bigger
7:43
Speaker 3: guy and has a certain way he likes to ride.
7:45
Speaker 3: We remember last year when grip was pretty ordinary. Remember India,
7:48
Speaker 3: that was so dusty that circuit, and he just made
7:50
Speaker 3: them all absolutely ridiculous in India. So I think hasn't
7:54
Speaker 3: probably quite jelled with the twenty three and I think
7:56
Speaker 3: that reartire hasn't quite worked either. But he's been pretty
7:59
Speaker 3: anonymous for the season, and it was interesting when he
8:02
Speaker 3: signed that deal with Aprillia to go there to be
8:04
Speaker 3: ju Hey Martin, Martin's teammate next year. Massimo Rivella came
8:08
Speaker 3: out and said, well, we hope we get the real Marco,
8:10
Speaker 3: not the one that's been riding this year, because he's
8:12
Speaker 3: not the guy that you would normally sign. And it's
8:14
Speaker 3: been pretty contrary to the way Bizeki's career is gone
8:17
Speaker 3: because it was just building so nicely last year was
8:20
Speaker 3: so convincing. Maybe we end up looking at twenty twenty
8:23
Speaker 3: four when it's all said and done, as being a
8:25
Speaker 3: bit of an aberration because he's kind of been nowhere
8:27
Speaker 3: all year.
8:28
Speaker 1: You mentioned Tyers there, and I just want to lead
8:30
Speaker 1: into that for a little bit because Michelin have said
8:33
Speaker 1: that they're going to bring three variations of the front
8:36
Speaker 1: this weekend, where normally they would only bring two. So
8:39
Speaker 1: the writers have the option of the soft, the medium,
8:42
Speaker 1: or the hard. They're saying that, I guess the way
8:46
Speaker 1: that the bikes have improved so much this year that
8:49
Speaker 1: they're really starting to use the fronts a lot more.
8:52
Speaker 1: And I guess from last weekend where they worn't with
8:54
Speaker 1: the track surface everything like that. How much do you
8:57
Speaker 1: think that with the duke in the GP twenty four
9:01
Speaker 1: is obviously just gelling so much with the rear tire,
9:04
Speaker 1: how much of it is coming to play when with
9:06
Speaker 1: this new front tire, is that going to just help
9:08
Speaker 1: them ecceed or is it still people like the Zaki
9:11
Speaker 1: who just can't get the bike to work, it's not
9:14
Speaker 1: really going to help them in any way.
9:16
Speaker 3: Well, I think the front these days is where you
9:17
Speaker 3: make up time, because, particularly with the twenty four, one
9:20
Speaker 3: of the characteristics of that bike and what makes it
9:22
Speaker 3: so good is the squad device coming out of the
9:25
Speaker 3: corners is so unbelievably good. You can even see how
9:27
Speaker 3: much better it is in the twenty four compared to
9:29
Speaker 3: the GP twenty three. Look at any time Mark Marquez
9:32
Speaker 3: is behind one of the GP twenty four is coming
9:34
Speaker 3: out of a slow quarter onto a long straight and
9:37
Speaker 3: the gap just increases instantly because the twenty three doesn't
9:41
Speaker 3: have the great rear high device that twenty four does.
9:43
Speaker 3: So in answer to your question, I think a lot
9:45
Speaker 3: of the lap time we gain lap time in these
9:48
Speaker 3: days is pushing the front and we've seen some riders
9:51
Speaker 3: really struggle with that over the course of the season,
9:53
Speaker 3: so you can see why Michelin is having to you know,
9:57
Speaker 3: the way the bikes are being ridden this year, we've
9:59
Speaker 3: seen the times you know, pole position times fast aslap
10:02
Speaker 3: record times pretty much broken at every single track, but
10:05
Speaker 3: the way these guys are achieving the lapse this year
10:07
Speaker 3: is different, and I think that's where that front tire
10:09
Speaker 3: becomes critical because they're all pushing the front so hard
10:12
Speaker 3: because one of the worst things of that rear ride
10:15
Speaker 3: height device it kind of means that everyone exits the
10:17
Speaker 3: corner the same way, which is one of the reasons
10:19
Speaker 3: I think I'm not a massive fan of it. It
10:21
Speaker 3: takes a lot of the rider's skill out of that
10:23
Speaker 3: part of the riding, but they're all now trying to
10:25
Speaker 3: push the front to compensate for the fact that your
10:27
Speaker 3: corner exit is pretty similar. So yeah, certainly a challenge
10:31
Speaker 3: for Michelin because you know, we're seeing speeds and lap
10:33
Speaker 3: times that we've just never seen before. So for a
10:35
Speaker 3: tire provider, that's just a moving target. The bikes have
10:39
Speaker 3: got so good that Michelin are kind of chasing the
10:42
Speaker 3: performance of the bikes, and there's been some tracks where
10:45
Speaker 3: it's been difficult. I'm not really sure what they were
10:48
Speaker 3: supposed to do last weekend, to be honest, because it
10:50
Speaker 3: was this bizarre confluence of track circumstances, whether a whole
10:54
Speaker 3: bunch of other different variables. Massano's more it's more of
10:58
Speaker 3: a known quantity, you could say. But yeah, it's tough
11:01
Speaker 3: for them because the performance of the bikes this year
11:03
Speaker 3: has just been unreal from top to bottom.
11:06
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the second group. So we obviously have
11:10
Speaker 1: the Dow Caddies and all four du Caddy teams up
11:13
Speaker 1: the front. We kind of know that it's going to
11:15
Speaker 1: be a Ducaddi dominant weekend or a VIR forty six
11:17
Speaker 1: Academy dominant weekend. Let's talk about the next group. So
11:20
Speaker 1: we've got the ktms and the Apprillias. You mentioned Maverick
11:23
Speaker 1: Vinalees earlier. Let's talk about Alish but also Miguel Olivera.
11:28
Speaker 1: Do you think that they could both have a strong
11:31
Speaker 1: weekend here in Mazano.
11:33
Speaker 3: To track the rewards good corner speed and Maverick's been
11:37
Speaker 3: good here particularly. Maverick's been good here previously won one
11:40
Speaker 3: of the two races here in twenty twenty, and he's
11:42
Speaker 3: always been pretty strong back through the Yamaha and the
11:45
Speaker 3: Suzuki days here. So it wouldn't surprise me to see
11:48
Speaker 3: if any other manufacturer is going to muscle in on
11:50
Speaker 3: thed caddies at the front this weekend that it would
11:52
Speaker 3: be a Prillia. They had a pretty miserable time. It
11:56
Speaker 3: just had no group in an Aragon and to the
11:58
Speaker 3: point where vinale is in this argar were almost doing
12:01
Speaker 3: Moto two times. I mean Vianalees ended up parking the
12:03
Speaker 3: bike at one point during the Sunday Grand Prix, and
12:07
Speaker 3: Alisha was kind of nowhere for most of the weekend.
12:09
Speaker 3: But you mentioned Olivera. He's an interesting one for me
12:12
Speaker 3: because I suspect we might see his name in a
12:15
Speaker 3: few headlines this weekend as we wait to see what
12:18
Speaker 3: premak Abajara doing with these final two seats. He's obviously
12:20
Speaker 3: one of the riders in the frame there, but he
12:23
Speaker 3: was actually pretty quick, and I think he would have
12:25
Speaker 3: featured reasonably well at Aragon of all the Aprillias, but
12:29
Speaker 3: had that first lapship off when he was running in
12:31
Speaker 3: the top six. He was pretty decent in the sprint.
12:33
Speaker 3: So I think if it's going to be anyone muscling
12:35
Speaker 3: in or Dcaddi this weekend, I'm not sure they've got
12:37
Speaker 3: podium pace, but I would back a Prillia probably as
12:41
Speaker 3: the manufacturer. That might steal some of Dcaddi's thunder. And
12:44
Speaker 3: we don't want eight tocaddies in the top eight. Nobody
12:46
Speaker 3: wants that. But if we get some Aprillas in there,
12:48
Speaker 3: that would thicken the brew a little bit.
12:51
Speaker 1: And the Pramac announcement that we're all waiting for, we're
12:56
Speaker 1: hoping we also pretty much I think that it's going
13:00
Speaker 1: to be Jack Miller there as well.
13:02
Speaker 3: So well, I'm amazing you didn't say Pramaha because you've
13:05
Speaker 3: got me now that you've said it so many times.
13:07
Speaker 3: But yeah, well look, I mean the smart male was
13:10
Speaker 3: that there was going to be an announcement of what
13:12
Speaker 3: premat Kamaha we're going to be doing at Massano. Of course,
13:15
Speaker 3: the asterisk is this two Messanos, so it could be
13:18
Speaker 3: this week. It could be next week, but I think
13:20
Speaker 3: they will make the announcement at Messanos, simply because it's
13:22
Speaker 3: an Italian team with an Italian sponsor and you want
13:25
Speaker 3: to get the most mileage out of that. But it's
13:28
Speaker 3: hard to see how it's not going to be Jack
13:29
Speaker 3: Miller and Miguel Olivera, simply because a lot of the
13:32
Speaker 3: other guys that were in the frame for those two
13:35
Speaker 3: seats have signed on elsewhere. So Joe Go Si, you're
13:37
Speaker 3: staying in Moto two. We know that. So Tony Abellino
13:40
Speaker 3: is probably going to be running a Pramac backed Moto
13:42
Speaker 3: two bike next year, as you know, probably the successor
13:45
Speaker 3: to either Jack or Miguel down the track. But look
13:48
Speaker 3: when we'll get that announcement. By the time we get
13:50
Speaker 3: to Friday practice, there might be announcement, but it also
13:52
Speaker 3: might be before Massano too, because of course between these
13:55
Speaker 3: two Massano races we actually have a test on Monday
13:57
Speaker 3: as well, So basically no one's going home for about
14:00
Speaker 3: the next two weeks, and you get to practice your
14:02
Speaker 3: Italian and I get to think about pizza recipes for
14:05
Speaker 3: the next two Grand Prix.
14:06
Speaker 1: Perfect. That's the best. I love it. Yamaha Yamaha coming
14:12
Speaker 1: into this weekend. We know Fabio and Alex Runs had
14:14
Speaker 1: a decent weekend in Aragon, but I feel like it's
14:18
Speaker 1: just because that lack of grip, it kind of made
14:20
Speaker 1: for a bit more of an even playing field. How
14:23
Speaker 1: do you think they're going to go this weekend? Do
14:25
Speaker 1: you think we're going to just see them back in
14:27
Speaker 1: their usual spots. Yeah.
14:28
Speaker 3: Quatrero was a little bit pessimistic coming into this because
14:31
Speaker 3: they've tested here fairly recently, and he said, look, you
14:34
Speaker 3: know the performance was generally okay, but the time attack
14:36
Speaker 3: speed wasn't. So we know that in modern day motor GP,
14:40
Speaker 3: you unless there's some wet conditions or unless you're an Ambassiadidia,
14:43
Speaker 3: that's the one the outlier, you need to be probably
14:46
Speaker 3: in the first two or three rows to do anything.
14:48
Speaker 3: So if we if we don't see a Yamaha in
14:51
Speaker 3: Q two, for example, it's going to be pretty hard
14:53
Speaker 3: for them to do something. But again, Fabio has been
14:55
Speaker 3: pretty decent here. It's obviously the sight of his greatest
14:58
Speaker 3: career moment. He secured his twenty two anyone World championship
15:01
Speaker 3: at this track, so I'm sure he gets a big
15:03
Speaker 3: smile every tobby drives into the circuit. But look, unless
15:07
Speaker 3: we can get one of them in Q two, and
15:08
Speaker 3: let's face it, that one is likely to be Fabio,
15:11
Speaker 3: it's hard to see them doing a hell of a
15:14
Speaker 3: lot this weekend. But about you, it was nice to
15:16
Speaker 3: see Yamaha looking a little bit more competitive at Aragon,
15:19
Speaker 3: Like Fabio was really really good in the sprint, and
15:21
Speaker 3: he looked like he was able to pass some people
15:24
Speaker 3: and really get his elbows out, which was fun. And
15:26
Speaker 3: we mentioned this on our Monday post Aragon podcast. Alex
15:30
Speaker 3: rins in the top ten, which was something we kind
15:32
Speaker 3: of took for granted back in the day. It was
15:33
Speaker 3: actually really nice to see him up there because I
15:35
Speaker 3: do feel a little bit sorry for Alex. I think
15:37
Speaker 3: we've forgotten a little bit how good the guy is.
15:40
Speaker 3: We saw it at the end of his time at
15:41
Speaker 3: Suzuki when he won two of those last three races,
15:43
Speaker 3: but he's basically not been fit for eighteen months. It's
15:46
Speaker 3: been so tough for him since he had that crash
15:48
Speaker 3: at Majello on the Honda. So you only have to
15:51
Speaker 3: look at, you know, watching him walk up and down
15:52
Speaker 3: the paddock and watching him walk to the bike on
15:54
Speaker 3: the grid to see how unfitt he is. It'd be
15:57
Speaker 3: nice to see those two back up front, because well,
15:59
Speaker 3: any any extra manufacturers we can see in the fight
16:02
Speaker 3: for things meaningful emotor GP, I'm all for it.
16:06
Speaker 1: I was reading an article with Max Bardolini, who is
16:09
Speaker 1: the new technical developer at Yamaha Technical. The other's a
16:13
Speaker 1: correct you out technical ye, and he's come over from Jucaddie,
16:16
Speaker 1: and he was very open and said that Fabio Corderraro,
16:22
Speaker 1: he finds is so hungry to be back up the
16:25
Speaker 1: front again that his mindset's almost changed, and there'll be
16:30
Speaker 1: times where he'll get frustrated or get a bit angry,
16:32
Speaker 1: but then they'll work on something, he'll go out, there'll
16:35
Speaker 1: be like a slight improvement and it seems like things
16:39
Speaker 1: just start to click together, which is good, which is
16:41
Speaker 1: what we want to see. But he preferenced it by
16:43
Speaker 1: saying he doesn't believe that just because they'll have the
16:47
Speaker 1: two extra bikes next year that it's going to make
16:50
Speaker 1: a massive difference straight away. He thinks twenty twenty six
16:53
Speaker 1: is going to be the year where Yamaha can finally
16:56
Speaker 1: be competitive again. And I think it kind of rings
16:59
Speaker 1: true because obviously you can see how much far do
17:02
Speaker 1: you caddy have? Just like progressed forward, katm is similar,
17:07
Speaker 1: a prilier is similar. I think Yamaha, you can see
17:11
Speaker 1: them trying and as much as you know, we hate
17:14
Speaker 1: seeing Fabio who's a world champion down the back, saying
17:16
Speaker 1: with Alex Trenz, who's a multiple Grand Prix race when
17:19
Speaker 1: a down the back. Unfortunately, they're gonna stay down there
17:23
Speaker 1: until they start getting that extra data that they need, right.
17:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, agreed, But I think the thing with Yamaha that
17:29
Speaker 3: separates them from Honda for me is they kind of
17:31
Speaker 3: there seems to be a plan there, right, there's a
17:33
Speaker 3: pathway to get out of this. You have two more
17:35
Speaker 3: bikes next year, which means you double the data and
17:37
Speaker 3: theoretically half the time it needs to get back towards
17:41
Speaker 3: at midfield and then the front again. Their big hope
17:44
Speaker 3: is that they understand what they're doing and how they're
17:46
Speaker 3: doing it before you get to this big reg re
17:48
Speaker 3: set for twenty seven. But I think what you were
17:50
Speaker 3: saying twenty six, I would imagine that they're going to
17:53
Speaker 3: be stiffing around for podiums and things in eighteen months
17:56
Speaker 3: time and that's well, that's difficult for someone like Fabio
17:58
Speaker 3: to take because we already know how the guys he's
18:00
Speaker 3: won a World Championship, his commitment to that project and
18:04
Speaker 3: their commitment to him. They know that if they provide
18:08
Speaker 3: the materials, that this guy's good enough to win a
18:10
Speaker 3: World Championship, win Grand Prix. Yeah, they're a long way
18:13
Speaker 3: away from that at the moment, but I think the
18:15
Speaker 3: hunger and the determination to drag this back to the
18:19
Speaker 3: top for Fabio is pretty high because if you can
18:22
Speaker 3: do that, if you can take something that's from rock
18:24
Speaker 3: bottom and drag it back towards the front, that's a
18:26
Speaker 3: pretty big tick on the CV for him. But there
18:29
Speaker 3: does seem to be a plan there, and I think
18:32
Speaker 3: you know, they're throwing everything they can at testing. That
18:34
Speaker 3: obviously got the concessions this year, so they can test
18:36
Speaker 3: more and more and more. Having two more bikes next year,
18:39
Speaker 3: and I think having that likely lineup of Miller and
18:42
Speaker 3: Olivera is really important because they need a couple of
18:46
Speaker 3: experienced guys who know all of the other machinery on
18:49
Speaker 3: the grid. Because you look at those two guys, they've
18:51
Speaker 3: ridden for every other manufacturer between them, so they know
18:54
Speaker 3: what works elsewhere and they can bring some fresh eyeas
18:56
Speaker 3: to the project. There is a pathway there. Honda at
18:59
Speaker 3: the moment feel like they're just sort of paddling and
19:01
Speaker 3: trying to survive, whereas you get the sense that Yamaha
19:04
Speaker 3: is swimming. You know, they're swimming in the correct direction.
19:07
Speaker 3: It's going to be slow for them, but there is
19:08
Speaker 3: a pathway. I'm still not sure what Honda are doing.
19:11
Speaker 3: They seem a long way away from even having a pathway,
19:14
Speaker 3: and I think that's what separates those two manufacturers down
19:16
Speaker 3: the back. Yamaha has a way out. Honda is still
19:19
Speaker 3: looking for theirs.
19:20
Speaker 1: Well, Honda. This weekend we'll have Stefan Bradle as a
19:23
Speaker 1: wild card, and we always love a good wild card.
19:26
Speaker 1: Makes me think back to Danny Paturosa. He's wild carded
19:29
Speaker 1: here with KTM in the past. I think that for Honda,
19:34
Speaker 1: Luca Marini, it's hard to say because used to read
19:40
Speaker 1: the articles or you read the statements, and they say
19:42
Speaker 1: they're trying, they're trying, they're trying new things, but like
19:45
Speaker 1: you said, it just seems like they're not necessarily taking
19:49
Speaker 1: the steps or getting the answers that they're needing. Right,
19:52
Speaker 1: so we're going to just see them down the back
19:55
Speaker 1: and hopefully finishing races.
19:57
Speaker 3: It's interesting when you look at those two Factory Honda
20:00
Speaker 3: with Luca Marini and Juan Meir, you get the sense
20:03
Speaker 3: that Marini knows where the limit of the bike is
20:06
Speaker 3: and would like to remain on the safe side of
20:08
Speaker 3: doing that, and I think that's why you've seen him
20:09
Speaker 3: screed one point this year and not fall off very much.
20:12
Speaker 3: Whereas Juan Miir, he's one of these guys that he
20:14
Speaker 3: knows where the limit is and he's almost unwilling to
20:17
Speaker 3: accept that. He's going to push himself harder and harder
20:19
Speaker 3: and harder. And every time you see that the graphic
20:22
Speaker 3: come up on the screen, you expect it to say
20:23
Speaker 3: Juan Meir crash rider okay, because it happens so often
20:27
Speaker 3: with him. He's hit the deck so many times this season.
20:29
Speaker 3: But what I thought was interesting at Aragon was there
20:32
Speaker 3: were some flashes from the LCR boys, like Nakagami raced
20:35
Speaker 3: really well on Sunday at Aragon. Jaanes Arko was kind
20:38
Speaker 3: of the under the radar star of Friday. Put the
20:40
Speaker 3: Hondre into Q two qualified higher than it's been a year,
20:43
Speaker 3: and I think he's actually had a pretty decent year. Obviously,
20:47
Speaker 3: it's a massive downturn compared to last year and he's
20:50
Speaker 3: on a Pramack de Catti, but he's been pretty decent there.
20:52
Speaker 3: So look, it's there's a bit of self preservation with Marini,
20:56
Speaker 3: and I can understand that he could also do that
20:58
Speaker 3: because he's got a second year on his cod track
21:00
Speaker 3: next year, so there's no point smashing yourself up for
21:02
Speaker 3: a bike that's going to struggle to get into two
21:04
Speaker 3: Q two. And it's absolutely best day. But it is amazing,
21:08
Speaker 3: isn't it. Like we looked at Honda for years as
21:10
Speaker 3: being the absolute gold standard of the sport, and there
21:13
Speaker 3: were times during the Marques era that they were. But
21:16
Speaker 3: I think it also shows you how good Marques was
21:18
Speaker 3: because there were clearly times where that bike wasn't the
21:21
Speaker 3: best bike on the grid. I still vividly remember going
21:24
Speaker 3: to a pre season test in Sepang, which would have
21:27
Speaker 3: been let's say nineteen I think it was eighteen or nineteen,
21:31
Speaker 3: I can't remember which year, and they were so embarrassed
21:34
Speaker 3: hod that they were getting blitzed on the straight by
21:36
Speaker 3: the Jacadi and the Daviciosa era that they said to Marques,
21:39
Speaker 3: we're going to make you a bike that's faster on
21:41
Speaker 3: the strait, but it's probably going to be harder to
21:43
Speaker 3: ride in the quarters, and you're just going to have
21:45
Speaker 3: to deal with it. And so every other Honda ride
21:47
Speaker 3: of that year spent most of the season picking gravel
21:49
Speaker 3: out of their teeth, and Mark being Mark's just like okay,
21:52
Speaker 3: and then papered over the cracks by being Marques and
21:55
Speaker 3: was able to win races and do what Marques did.
21:58
Speaker 3: So it does show you that for a lot of years,
22:00
Speaker 3: maybe a lot of the alarm bells were ringing quietly
22:02
Speaker 3: in the background, but Marquez was so good that he
22:05
Speaker 3: was actually able to paper over the cracks. Once they
22:07
Speaker 3: lost him, I think that was when Honda went, oh,
22:09
Speaker 3: we really are in some trouble here and it's going
22:11
Speaker 3: to take him a fair while to dig their way
22:13
Speaker 3: out of it.
22:14
Speaker 1: That just shows, right, you can't build a bike that
22:16
Speaker 1: is just around a certain rider. It has to be
22:19
Speaker 1: something that all the different riding styles can suit. I
22:22
Speaker 1: fear that it's kind of what katm have done, is
22:24
Speaker 1: they've built a bike that suits a certain rider. Because
22:27
Speaker 1: Jack and Brad to me are very similar. I think
22:31
Speaker 1: that Pedro Acosta very similar as well. They love to
22:35
Speaker 1: slide that rear into entry, so hopefully they're not heading
22:40
Speaker 1: in that direction either. Because the KATM was pretty much
22:43
Speaker 1: built just like the Honda for so long, wasn't it,
22:46
Speaker 1: with the design and everything.
22:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, and what's interesting with KATM, particularly next year, You've
22:52
Speaker 3: got this situation where a Costa is in the factory
22:54
Speaker 3: team for the first time, and the second team that
22:56
Speaker 3: get the Tech three team is going to have two
22:58
Speaker 3: Brandy riders in an About and Maverick Vinalez, coming from
23:02
Speaker 3: very different parts of the axis. So you've got a
23:05
Speaker 3: Decatti rider and an Aprillier rider coming into Rider KTM.
23:08
Speaker 3: So I think the development you can imagine that they're
23:12
Speaker 3: going to head down whatever patha Costa wants to take
23:16
Speaker 3: the bike because he's their guy for the next decade.
23:19
Speaker 3: If they play it right, he's the guy that's probably
23:21
Speaker 3: going to win them the world title somewhere down the
23:23
Speaker 3: track if the bike is good enough. So the other
23:25
Speaker 3: guys might have to make do with a bike that
23:27
Speaker 3: Pedro wants. And well, you're going to have a twenty
23:30
Speaker 3: year old or twenty one next year a guy directing
23:33
Speaker 3: your development of a bike trying to take on Tocadi.
23:36
Speaker 3: It's a big, big ask. But we also know that
23:38
Speaker 3: he's a generational talent. So if you're going to hit
23:40
Speaker 3: your wagon too anything, maybe hit your wagon to the
23:42
Speaker 3: generational talent and not the guys that have been around
23:44
Speaker 3: for a while.
23:46
Speaker 1: Well for guys, well those of you listening, Sorry, guys,
23:48
Speaker 1: those are you listening? Turn eight at this track is
23:52
Speaker 1: the hardest breaking track. But Matt, what corners should they
23:56
Speaker 1: watch out for for the best overtakes and action pat
24:02
Speaker 1: content this weekend?
24:04
Speaker 3: Well, the first quarter of any race at Massada, where
24:07
Speaker 3: you've got the right followed by the left, there's always
24:09
Speaker 3: a bit of an action zone there, and it's quite
24:11
Speaker 3: a short run from the start finish line into turn one,
24:14
Speaker 3: so it's always a little bit chaotic there. But it's
24:16
Speaker 3: the end of the back straight, isn't it where a
24:18
Speaker 3: lot of the passes get made into that final sector there.
24:21
Speaker 3: You can really hug the inside there and push your
24:24
Speaker 3: opponent out wide. But a lot of these races, particularly
24:26
Speaker 3: in the lower classes, they get settled in that final sector.
24:29
Speaker 3: Moto three at Messado is always one of those ones
24:32
Speaker 3: that you settle in for the last lap, and if
24:35
Speaker 3: there's a pack of nine on the final lap, you
24:37
Speaker 3: absolutely know there's two or three of them that probably
24:39
Speaker 3: aren't making the check at flag. It can get a
24:40
Speaker 3: little bit chaotic going into the final sequence there. So
24:45
Speaker 3: three at Messado is always a bit of a highlight
24:47
Speaker 3: because it's just shake your head and hope for the
24:49
Speaker 3: best a lot of the time. But it's a great track.
24:51
Speaker 3: I mean, it's one of those tracks that it's stood
24:53
Speaker 3: the test of time. It's got a lot of character.
24:55
Speaker 3: There's some super fast flowing sections, but a good first
24:58
Speaker 3: corner and a good last corner. Sign me up because
25:01
Speaker 3: we know there's going to be action at both of them.
25:03
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Moto three and Moto two because recently
25:06
Speaker 1: you wrote an article where you had Jack Appleyard, the
25:09
Speaker 1: Moto GP commentator and Pitt Lane reporter, who gave his
25:13
Speaker 1: thoughts on who are going to be the future stars
25:16
Speaker 1: of Moto GP, and he did feature our Australian Center aegis,
25:21
Speaker 1: which we love for. But Moto two, are we going
25:25
Speaker 1: to see another Dixon on the podium or is it
25:30
Speaker 1: going to go back to the ways of.
25:31
Speaker 3: Before Moto two has been utterly bizarre this year because
25:35
Speaker 3: I don't think Dixon scored pointed about the first five
25:38
Speaker 3: races off the top of my head, and he's been
25:39
Speaker 3: the form guy pretty much ever since, obviously one last
25:42
Speaker 3: Sunday Aragon. It's been a strange season Moto two because
25:45
Speaker 3: you've had some of the front runner guys get injured
25:48
Speaker 3: like Agura. Sergio Garcia was absolutely horrendous last weekend of
25:54
Speaker 3: He was basically right the way down the back, got
25:56
Speaker 3: a long lap, penalty, parked it, and they walked out
25:59
Speaker 3: the back of the garage. I think he may have
26:00
Speaker 3: just gotten the higher car and gone straight to the airport.
26:02
Speaker 3: He certainly wasn't having around for a hanging around for
26:05
Speaker 3: the end of that race, So there's some discussion that
26:07
Speaker 3: he's head bight have dropped a little bit after it
26:09
Speaker 3: was overlooked for the Prama Yamaha Moto GP promotion, which
26:12
Speaker 3: is interesting from a psychological point of view. But god's
26:15
Speaker 3: been such a weird season in Moto two. But you
26:18
Speaker 3: mentioned the chat I have with Jack Appleyard. I thought
26:22
Speaker 3: Jack's an interesting guy to get his perspective on Moto
26:25
Speaker 3: two and Moto three, simply because he's around those guys
26:27
Speaker 3: so much. He's in the pit lane. We hear him
26:29
Speaker 3: on the World feed commentating Moto two and Moto three.
26:32
Speaker 3: He's got a pretty good finger on the pulse for
26:35
Speaker 3: who's coming through and who's going to make some waves
26:37
Speaker 3: in years to come. And look, I mean there's a
26:39
Speaker 3: couple of absolute obvious slam dunk ones there and that
26:41
Speaker 3: David Alonzo in Moto three, the young Colombian is absolutely
26:46
Speaker 3: the guy to watch. And what he's doing in Moto
26:48
Speaker 3: three this year, he's doing things that he's approaching a
26:51
Speaker 3: record that Valentino Rossi set in nineteen ninety seven in
26:53
Speaker 3: the light light class, So that shows you the sort
26:55
Speaker 3: of company he's keeping. But really interesting that he spoke
26:58
Speaker 3: about center AGEUS and maturity and the progression and just
27:02
Speaker 3: how methodical he is and the way he approaches it
27:06
Speaker 3: for a young guy who's been around for a little while.
27:08
Speaker 3: And I think it was one of the things that
27:09
Speaker 3: you said when you spoke to him in the mid
27:11
Speaker 3: season break. He's just really well put together and really
27:14
Speaker 3: thoughtful for someone who's so inexperienced, and I really like
27:17
Speaker 3: that about him. I think he's got the right attitude.
27:20
Speaker 3: He's not trying to win every race yesterday, But there
27:22
Speaker 3: is a gradual progression with him, and he's looked more
27:25
Speaker 3: and more comfortable as this season's gone on. He's had
27:27
Speaker 3: a couple of quiet races in the last couple but
27:30
Speaker 3: I don't know about you, but he seems like off
27:32
Speaker 3: the bike he's super convincing. And Jack's point was, at
27:37
Speaker 3: some point Jack Miller is not going to be on
27:38
Speaker 3: the moor GP grip. We thought it might not be
27:40
Speaker 3: next year, but it looks like that's going to continue.
27:43
Speaker 3: So when Jack's off the greed in years to come,
27:45
Speaker 3: who's the next Australian to step up? Because he's got
27:47
Speaker 3: this huge run of Ossie's on the grid that goes
27:49
Speaker 3: back to the early nineteen eighties. The very fact that
27:52
Speaker 3: he thought that Center's on the right track to perhaps
27:55
Speaker 3: be Jack's successor sometime in the future was really interesting
27:58
Speaker 3: because one thing with Jack Appleyard he knows those lower
28:02
Speaker 3: categories so well. And yeah, pretty interesting to hear his
28:05
Speaker 3: thoughts on Center and pretty exciting for Australian fans. I think, well,
28:08
Speaker 3: let's talk.
28:08
Speaker 1: About the other Aussies as well. Joel and Jacob in
28:12
Speaker 1: Moto three. So Joel's been on a run where he's
28:16
Speaker 1: been qualifying really well. We mention this in every part
28:19
Speaker 1: he's qualifying well. He's starting off the race good because
28:22
Speaker 1: he's in one of those front two rows, but it
28:24
Speaker 1: seems like midway through the race he's almost fading a
28:28
Speaker 1: little bit. Is that just because of tie away? Is
28:32
Speaker 1: it physical being able to withstand the race or is
28:36
Speaker 1: it just because that Obviously the Colombians and the Spanish
28:39
Speaker 1: are just able to keep going the distance.
28:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, probably a bit of column and a bit of columbo.
28:45
Speaker 3: I think with Joel, we know how good he is
28:47
Speaker 3: over one lap and he probably outqualifies the performance of
28:52
Speaker 3: the bike a lot of the time on the one lap.
28:53
Speaker 3: He's so so good over one lap, so he puts
28:55
Speaker 3: himself in a good position to start races. Harder to
28:59
Speaker 3: maintain for him him on that machinery over the course
29:01
Speaker 3: of a race, and he knows his type management is
29:04
Speaker 3: something he needs to get a little bit better at.
29:05
Speaker 3: But it's good to see that he's in the conversation.
29:08
Speaker 3: There's absolutely no question that he's got one lap speed,
29:11
Speaker 3: and we know how how brave the young bloke is,
29:13
Speaker 3: so I do enjoy the way he's going about it.
29:15
Speaker 3: Jacob Rolston. He's had a couple of difficult races pretty
29:19
Speaker 3: much since he had that crash in Germany. Things haven't
29:21
Speaker 3: been great, but I don't think it undoes what he's
29:24
Speaker 3: done as a rookie in such a tough field and
29:26
Speaker 3: a pretty high profile team as well. When you're riding
29:28
Speaker 3: for a brand like that writing for Hervet pontcheral, the
29:31
Speaker 3: eyeballs are on you, so on balance, I think he's
29:34
Speaker 3: had a really really strong rookie season. I think he's
29:36
Speaker 3: probably a little bit too far back to weird Rookie
29:38
Speaker 3: of the Year now with Anhelpakeris has taken a bit
29:41
Speaker 3: of a lead over him there. But he's been good
29:44
Speaker 3: over the course of the season. But we just need,
29:46
Speaker 3: you know, maybe a little bit more of what we
29:47
Speaker 3: saw in the first half rather than these last three
29:49
Speaker 3: or four races because he's on a bit of a
29:51
Speaker 3: run of outs at the moment. Let's see if Massano
29:54
Speaker 3: can unlock something for him this Sunday.
29:56
Speaker 1: Fingers Crossy can fingers cross, will see and Ossie and
29:59
Speaker 1: hopefully three podiums. But Matt, let's do something a bit
30:04
Speaker 1: different in this episode. I want to hear from you.
30:06
Speaker 1: I want to hear your Protero GP sprint podium and
30:12
Speaker 1: your Grand Prix podium on Sunday. Who your top three?
30:16
Speaker 3: Ah, I'm so glad you've done this because I spent
30:18
Speaker 3: last week lighting this guy on fire and a story
30:21
Speaker 3: that I wrote for Fox Sports, and I didn't feel
30:23
Speaker 3: bad about it because it was statistically justified. But I'm
30:26
Speaker 3: going to say, I'm going to go sprint podium, Smoky,
30:30
Speaker 3: and I hope you're sitting down for this. Franco Morbidelli
30:33
Speaker 3: is going to be on the sprint podium on Saturday.
30:36
Speaker 3: What I'm calling it right now?
30:39
Speaker 1: All right?
30:40
Speaker 3: I like that contravertion GP twenty four. Messano knows the
30:45
Speaker 3: track like the back of his hand, as all the
30:47
Speaker 3: Rossi proteges do, and he's been a little bit better
30:50
Speaker 3: of late Franco. I'm always prepared to throw last Sunday
30:53
Speaker 3: at Aragne out the window because it was such an
30:55
Speaker 3: outline with the lack of group and what have you.
30:57
Speaker 3: But if he's ever going to fire a shot on
30:59
Speaker 3: that GP twenty four, it's this weekend, and I think
31:02
Speaker 3: he sneaks onto the podium in the sprint. So now
31:07
Speaker 3: that you've asked me a question, I get to ask
31:08
Speaker 3: you one because I should do some journalistic things here.
31:12
Speaker 3: Who is your most likely non de Catti rider to
31:16
Speaker 3: get on a podium this weekend?
31:18
Speaker 1: Most likely NONJ Catty writer podium this weekend? Or I
31:23
Speaker 1: wasn't expecting this.
31:24
Speaker 3: Question, which is why I did it.
31:26
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm thinking someone who can handle the grip. I'm
31:31
Speaker 1: thinking or I want to say either a Costa because
31:37
Speaker 1: I feel like he's on a run, He's got the
31:39
Speaker 1: settings back to where he's at, he's feeling comfortable. But
31:42
Speaker 1: then earlier you mentioned Vinalees. Part of me also wants
31:45
Speaker 1: to say Vinals. Maybe in the sprint only. I don't
31:49
Speaker 1: necessarily think the main Grand Prix.
31:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, not a bad shout, because the thing with Maverick
31:53
Speaker 3: is it's either absolutely amazing or absolutely awful. There's nothing
31:56
Speaker 3: in between, and he's due one of these amazing weekends.
32:00
Speaker 3: I think, you know, I don't know about you. I
32:01
Speaker 3: look back at this season so far, after twelve rounds,
32:04
Speaker 3: you have to remind yourself that, oh, yeah, Decaddie's won
32:06
Speaker 3: every race, every Grand Prix but one, and the one
32:09
Speaker 3: they didn't win was won by Perfrick Vinales, which just
32:11
Speaker 3: seems completely preposterous when you see weekends like last weekend
32:15
Speaker 3: at Aragon when he's last before he parks the bike.
32:17
Speaker 3: But his high points at Massano are pretty high. He's
32:20
Speaker 3: had some good results there in the past. As we mentioned,
32:22
Speaker 3: he'd won a Grand Prix previously, so don't mind that.
32:25
Speaker 3: And the best thing about these predictions is if both
32:28
Speaker 3: of them come true, then we look like geniuses, and
32:30
Speaker 3: if neither of them happen, we will never mention them again.
32:33
Speaker 1: Well, it was like our Aragon preview where they're talking
32:35
Speaker 1: about how the track's going to just shew the tires up.
32:38
Speaker 1: It's going to be super abrasive, and they're all saying
32:40
Speaker 1: there's no grip. So our crystal ball needs to be
32:44
Speaker 1: shined a bit better so we can see what's happening.
32:47
Speaker 3: I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm denying
32:49
Speaker 3: making any such comments until anyone proves otherwise.
32:53
Speaker 1: Look, guys, Matt, that is enough of your time that
32:55
Speaker 1: I've taken up and I think that's about everything we
32:58
Speaker 1: have for the preview of Moto EP PITTOK. But guess
33:01
Speaker 1: what We're gonna be back in your ears Monday or
33:04
Speaker 1: Tuesday next week to talk all about the sam Marino
33:08
Speaker 1: Grand Prix and hopefully the sam Marino Test at Mazzano two.
33:13
Speaker 1: But you can catch all the action alive and add
33:15
Speaker 1: break free on Fox Sports and KO plus. Keep up
33:18
