  When change is not enough, what do you do?

  Let's talk about it. The Proms we face.
• 0:50
  Let's fight hatred. No down ways the mind is naked.
• 0:57
  We can see it without an X-ray. Life is easy if we work
• 1:05
  together. We are the keepers, we are the
• 1:08
  people. We are all equal, filled with
• 1:10
  purpose. The past has pain.
• 1:14
  It'll drive you, even make you take aim.
• 1:18
  But together is where we should aim.
• 1:23
  Together is where we should. What are we here for?
• 1:31
  What do you truly want? When change is night and night,

  Help support us, you know, and get some really cool race parts,
• 3:34
  St. parts 'cause you know, before my second R6, you know, I
• 3:38
  had race parts on it while I was still riding on the streets and
• 3:41
  I'd even seen a few people running around the streets on
• 3:44
  slicks. I wouldn't recommend it, but if
• 3:46
  you are going to run slicks, check out my guy down in
• 3:50
  Florida, Mark 10 Motorsports and I guess some Pirelli tires as
• 3:55
  well 'cause it's a good thing to buy from a fellow Jamaican and
• 4:00
  also, you know, Prole tires are one of the best tires out there.
• 4:04
  I'm a big fan. I run them all my bikes, street
• 4:05
  bikes and race bikes. I think that's it.
• 4:09
  Go to beeffabricool.com and sign up for the mailing list.
• 4:15
  And if you're going to be at Barber this weekend, say what's
• 4:17
  up and let's take a photo. My name is Rex 45.
• 4:21
  Let's get this thing going, DJ. Man, welcome to the show.
• 4:25
  How you doing tonight, man? Oh.
• 4:27
  I can't complain, you know, each week like I mentioned, we got
• 4:30
  racing to watch and I'm excited to talk about this French Grand
• 4:35
  Prix. Lamar's is an exciting 1, so
• 4:40
  other than that, I know we always talk sports so it was
• 4:43
  good to see the team that we lost.
• 4:45
  You just get swept out of the way, you know, no, no hard, no
• 4:49
  foul stuff. Man, listen, man, I, I, I was
• 4:52
  going to bring it up and you, you brought it up and I got you.
• 4:56
  It's it's, it's one of those things and you know, I'm going
• 4:58
  to wait because I know Reese has something to say, but we're
• 5:02
  going to see what he said because remember what he said
• 5:03
  last week. But it's tough though.
• 5:05
  It's tough to, you know, be up three O and have a team come
• 5:09
  back and beat you and they lose 40.
• 5:11
  I mean it it makes it it you know what I'm saying that that
• 5:14
  coach of the year trophy and all the accolades, you know,
• 5:18
  especially your team that should be going to the the
• 5:20
  championship. It's it's tough, but none
• 5:23
  nonetheless. We got motorcycle racing to talk
• 5:26
  about. So let's keep this thing moving.
• 5:28
  Reese, man, welcome to the show, man.
• 5:30
  How you doing tonight man? What's going on man?
• 5:34
  Can't complain, just finish up another.
• 5:36
  Trying to finish our work to get the Barber.
• 5:39
  Man, I'll, I'll, I'll see you in Barbara.
• 5:41
  Yeah, man. Yeah.
• 5:42
  You know, any comments about your team?
• 5:44
  And you know, I mean, you know, what do you, what do you, what
• 5:46
  do you, what do you guys talk about when this happens?
• 5:49
  Not a damn thing at this time. You just call it a loss.
• 5:52
  That was a ass whooping in the half.
• 5:53
  That's all you can pretty much do is call that an ass whooping.
• 5:57
  So it's nothing to say, you know, the better team won.
• 6:00
  One team has to win, one team has to lose, you know, so
• 6:03
  nothing you can do. No, I hear that.
• 6:06
  I hear that, man. Excited.
• 6:08
  Were you excited about the Moto GP race this past weekend?
• 6:11
  Did it add up? Oh, yeah.
• 6:13
  Oh, yeah. I was definitely excited.
• 6:15
  It was definitely something to look forward to.
• 6:18
  It was nice to see Aprilia do a lockout, so we'll talk about
• 6:22
  that. And it was nice to see some
• 6:24
  different, some different faces, you know?
• 6:27
  Yes, indeed. We're going to talk about it.
• 6:30
  Lewis, man, welcome to the show. How you doing tonight?
• 6:32
  So you got that mute button on. So I'll give you a second to
• 6:36
  talk about that. You did not get ADNF this
• 6:38
  weekend. We're going to talk about the
• 6:39
  points so at the end of the show.
• 6:41
  So it's going to be crazy. How you doing tonight man?
• 6:43
  This weekend was bullshit man. They told me it was going to
• 6:46
  Rain Man. My friends can kiss my ass, but
• 6:51
  not raining. I think there was some writers
• 6:55
  that might have been disappointed that it didn't
• 6:57
  rain. Man killed me, bro killed me
• 7:01
  this weekend. Yeah, it, it, you know, it
• 7:05
  killed you and it almost killed some of the Moto 3 riders 'cause
• 7:08
  they were going down like. Yeah, I was like, I was like,
• 7:11
  this day's like this. It's going to be a good weekend
• 7:13
  for me. You know it's.
• 7:15
  Sunny. I'm like, yeah, damn it.
• 7:18
  Just dry it out. Dry it out.
• 7:20
  So how was your week other than that?
• 7:22
  It was good. I was good.
• 7:23
  Last week I was on a Cali doing some other work.
• 7:27
  Good stuff that hopefully we'll see in the next couple months.
• 7:31
  Really cool projects. I got to visit my my boy Felipe
• 7:35
  and Jeremiah over at big time, so I'm going to give a shout out
• 7:39
  to them. I haven't seen them in person in
• 7:42
  the minute. Especially Felipe, man, I love
• 7:44
  that dude. He's the best.
• 7:47
  Love doing any kind of work with him.
• 7:49
  He's just just a super chill guy and somebody I enjoy just
• 7:54
  talking to, hanging out with and shooting the the breeze.
• 7:58
  You know, we're into cars, we're into bikes into like, you know,
• 8:02
  similar types of deals. So it's just cool hanging out.
• 8:05
  And then now I'm back and super busy week traveling quite a bit.
• 8:10
  I'll be at Barber for a little bit of this weekend.
• 8:15
  So I'm looking forward to seeing my guys, seeing the racers
• 8:18
  saying hi to a bunch of people that I didn't see at the last
• 8:20
  round and and kind of, you know, get these guys back up and
• 8:24
  racing. It's been a while since the
• 8:26
  hooligans have been out there since Daytona, So it's good to
• 8:29
  see them back out there. So I'm looking forward to a good
• 8:32
  weekend. I you know, I looked everything
• 8:35
  looks set for Barber man looks like it's going to be a good
• 8:37
  weekend. So that's where I'm at.
• 8:39
  That's. What's up?
• 8:40
  No rain in the forecast. Nah, looks sunny.
• 8:43
  I mean, I'm bringing shorts. So.
• 8:47
  And you know, I hardly ever bring shorts, so you see these
• 8:51
  knees out. The weather's real good.
• 8:53
  Oh. God.
• 8:56
  I'm not even going to touch that.
• 8:57
  It's too early in the show. Leave that one alone.
• 9:02
  Leave it alone. TJ man, what's good, man?
• 9:06
  You know, I think I was on it and I think I know for sure I
• 9:09
  said in the past that Martine is like, you know, is like Lorenzo
• 9:15
  when they get out from. And what do you think of Martine
• 9:17
  this weekend in his riding? Man, he was spectacular.
• 9:24
  I mean, I don't think, I mean, we know that he's improving each
• 9:28
  round and he's basically running for the championship.
• 9:32
  But, you know, I didn't expect for him to do what he did at at
• 9:37
  the French Grand Prix just to be that confident and the moves
• 9:41
  that he made and especially so early.
• 9:46
  But yeah, he's riding a spectacular, you know, he he's
• 9:49
  the spring Kings for, for what we know before he won the
• 9:52
  championship. But to win back-to-back, you
• 9:56
  know, that's pretty special. No doubt, no doubt.
• 10:01
  Reese man, last week, you know, I talked about what Ducati had
• 10:04
  to do. Were you surprised that back now
• 10:08
  you're qualified well was doing well and it didn't crash out?
• 10:14
  You know, would that be a success for him like, you know,
• 10:17
  Rd., you know, road to recovery or is it, you know, you think
• 10:20
  it's like a one off like last year in in in Motegi.
• 10:25
  I mean, no, you can call it like 5050.
• 10:28
  I mean, he had a successful Sprint race, you know, it looked
• 10:33
  like he had a lot of, you know, some finally had some front end
• 10:36
  field. So and I was glad to see him up
• 10:40
  there. Sad to see him crash out in the
• 10:42
  race, but I think it, you know, I think it does show he still
• 10:46
  is, you know, potential rider. He's still a great rider.
• 10:50
  He still can ride. He just got to figure out that
• 10:54
  front end because that's clearly everything I hear him complain
• 10:57
  about at the front end. Everything you hear him complain
• 10:59
  is it's the front end field. And if you look at the the race
• 11:03
  and that front end just washed quick, it was gone and so.
• 11:07
  Bro, this is the most upset I've seen Petco after he he got back
• 11:13
  to the box and was going now it looked like he just kind of let
• 11:17
  loose on them. You think that's a good thing
• 11:20
  for him to do that if warranted? I mean, we, we, we saw the
• 11:23
  crash, but it's different, you know, being a viewer versus
• 11:27
  being on the bike. And he, I mean, he, he looked
• 11:30
  like, you know, he could have still got on a podium and, you
• 11:32
  know. It's like he still could have
• 11:34
  got on the podium. I mean, he's an emotional.
• 11:37
  It shows his emotions. It shows that he wants to do
• 11:40
  well. He wants to be upfront.
• 11:43
  He did very, like I said, he did very well on the Sprint.
• 11:45
  So it shows that the the guy can still ride and he, you know,
• 11:49
  since last year, he's always and he just has been complaining
• 11:52
  about the front end field. So it's got to be something up
• 11:55
  with he can't feel the front end.
• 11:57
  I mean, we all know a lot of people don't like Michelin, you
• 12:01
  know, AKA Lewis over there. He doesn't like Michelin.
• 12:04
  So but he just have been complaining about that front end
• 12:09
  field that he can't feel anything.
• 12:10
  It doesn't let him know any, any kind of signs when that front
• 12:15
  end wants to give out, you know, so and I've, I've heard riders
• 12:19
  say that before where they can't feel it.
• 12:21
  And when they can't feel it, it's, it's, it's nothing there.
• 12:24
  It's like riding on air. Right, right.
• 12:28
  Yeah, Now it it, it. I was rooting for him, but good
• 12:31
  to see I didn't have him on my pick, but for him to get a pole
• 12:36
  position, even though Mark had that blistering QLQ one time,
• 12:41
  right. I think he got he Mark came out
• 12:43
  of Q1 right, if membership correctly.
• 12:46
  Lewis, man, what are your thoughts on Martine, you know,
• 12:49
  going from what 7/8 to 1st place in two corners and and running
• 12:54
  the way he's running. I mean, do you feel the what do
• 12:57
  you think about that? And I got a follow up question.
• 13:01
  I think the Prelia bike is is now the bike to beat.
• 13:04
  I mean, it's been gaining dominance since the middle of
• 13:08
  last year after the summer break and after this streak of just
• 13:12
  Aprilia's winning, Aprilia's dominating.
• 13:15
  Aprilia's being on the box all the time.
• 13:18
  This just goes to show that Aprilia is definitely the bite
• 13:21
  to beat. Martine is lucky that Aprilia
• 13:24
  kept him because right now he'd be on a ship box and not
• 13:27
  enjoying the success he's enjoying.
• 13:31
  And I'm looking forward to him getting off Aprilia and getting
• 13:33
  on a ship box and not enjoying the success that he's enjoying
• 13:36
  because he made that team look really bad.
• 13:39
  And even though he's making the team look good now, he's still,
• 13:43
  you know, kind of put them through hell.
• 13:44
  So I'm kind of looking forward to him not being with Aprilia,
• 13:47
  to be honest with you. Wow, wow.
• 13:49
  OK, OK. And, and do you think that, you
• 13:54
  know, I, I, I feel you on that and him not being there next
• 13:57
  year? I think it's bittersweet, but it
• 13:59
  the relationship is tarnished and so forth.
• 14:02
  You think if he figures out, you know he was gracious in the in
• 14:07
  post post press conference saying that you know Bez is the
• 14:11
  better rider. You think if he starts to
• 14:13
  qualify better that goes out the window?
• 14:16
  No, I still think Bez is the better rider.
• 14:19
  I mean Bez is had has more experience on this particular
• 14:23
  bike than anybody else. He helped kind of develop the
• 14:26
  bike to what it is and I still think he's the better rider.
• 14:29
  I think he's super consistent, you know, outside of his Sprint
• 14:34
  crashes that he's had when it comes to race day, he's he's
• 14:38
  chose that he's consistent. He shows that he's really come
• 14:42
  into this season from people that are around him with a
• 14:46
  mentality of a champion, you know, very, very focused, not
• 14:49
  really doing the things that other people do, doing his media
• 14:53
  duties and everything he has to do.
• 14:54
  But when he's not doing media duties or signing autographs,
• 14:58
  he's 100% in the moment. Trying to win a championship
• 15:01
  like that is 100% his goal this year.
• 15:04
  And several people that know him, that are close to him have
• 15:07
  told me his attitude this year is completely different than the
• 15:10
  attitude that he's ever had in any of the series that he's
• 15:13
  raced or in any other classes that he raced, any other bikes
• 15:16
  that he's raced. Like he really comes into this
• 15:18
  year thinking this is his opportunity to be a champion.
• 15:21
  Right, right, All right, man, we're going to see man.
• 15:24
  I, I, I hope so. I'm rooting.
• 15:25
  I'm rooting. Well, I'm rooting for a poll.
• 15:26
  You, I mean, we finished one 2-3 in the main race.
• 15:30
  I think I was the only person that picked that.
• 15:32
  So I, I'm, I'm, I'm ecstatic, TJ, man.
• 15:36
  Well, actually all you guys, you know, what are your thoughts?
• 15:40
  I don't know if Reese or, or Lewis ever got a chance to go to
• 15:44
  Lamont's to, to take in the GP race, but what are your thoughts
• 15:48
  on their, their French National Grand Prix?
• 15:51
  I mean, national anthem and just the crowd singing along with it,
• 15:56
  which is pretty cool. Now that that place is their
• 16:01
  places are amazing. I mean they host what, 24 hour
• 16:05
  events? So, you know, I'm sure that they
• 16:08
  bring their tenants. We see it all the time, but to
• 16:11
  have the fans involved like that, it's like you can feel
• 16:14
  like the chills through your body and it's just a it's just a
• 16:18
  good feeling that they're all in tune and, you know, watching
• 16:22
  what's on the track. Yeah, yeah, man, it was pretty
• 16:26
  wild to see. I mean, I saw a thing from
• 16:28
  Zarko. He's like, Nah, man, I'm not.
• 16:29
  I don't sleep at the track. I stay in the hotel on the
• 16:32
  further side away from the track recently.
• 16:35
  Your thoughts on we need to have that everywhere.
• 16:37
  Everybody's singing the the national anthem, huh?
• 16:41
  I mean, it was nice because you, you actually see the crowd
• 16:44
  participation, you see the crowd's energy involved in it.
• 16:47
  And that's real nice because they're, they're fans of the,
• 16:50
  you know, they're fans, you know, they enjoy the sport, they
• 16:53
  enjoy the atmosphere, you know, and it, it, it just makes the
• 16:57
  sport more enjoyable. It makes the actual race day
• 16:59
  more enjoyable when the fans are actually involved and, and you
• 17:02
  know, committed to what's going on.
• 17:05
  So, and not just there just to be there, they're actually there
• 17:09
  to enjoy it. You know it's more enjoyable
• 17:11
  when the fans are actually enjoying it.
• 17:14
  Yeah, no, I I agree. I'm, I'm hoping I can do the
• 17:17
  world tour and get to all of them.
• 17:19
  Louis, what are your thoughts, man?
• 17:20
  You know, I know you might probably bring up Austin saying
• 17:22
  we probably need to get our crowd up before 'cause, you
• 17:25
  know, you can't have a auditorium without voices in it.
• 17:28
  If I had a if I had a hat on, I would tip it to the crowd at
• 17:32
  Lamont's. Incredible crowd and you know
• 17:36
  you had a good event when you immediately released the
• 17:38
  spectator numbers because we are in currently in May and we still
• 17:44
  don't have the spectator numbers for CODA yet.
• 17:46
  We have the spectator numbers for every other event they've
• 17:48
  done this year. So that tells me that CODA
• 17:51
  numbers were shit this year or still in that 120 to 125,000
• 17:55
  range, which is the same range we've been in for years now.
• 17:59
  Like we have not exceeded that 118 to 125 range and that's over
• 18:04
  the three days. So combined over three days, 120
• 18:09
  to 125,000, 300,000 plus spectators at Le Mans, 112,000
• 18:15
  just on Sunday. That's participation.
• 18:19
  So this whole thing with Liberty Media wanting to do a Moto GP
• 18:23
  event in Miami, when you can't get people to go to the number
• 18:27
  one track in the country in the US, now you're just going to
• 18:32
  split that crowd in half. You're not going to get more
• 18:34
  people to go to Miami. Miami sucks to go see a race.
• 18:37
  I've been there to see Formula One.
• 18:40
  The event around Formula One is great.
• 18:42
  Watching Formula One in Miami is the worst thing you can possibly
• 18:45
  do really. So I.
• 18:48
  Mean, yeah, I mean. The events around Formula One
• 18:51
  are fun, but actually going to the race sucks.
• 18:56
  Right, But you're, you're, you're a seasoned racegoer
• 18:59
  veteran. I mean, for, you know, the, the,
• 19:02
  the glimmering lights, the flashing lights, I mean, they,
• 19:05
  they're, they're, they're going to come out and thinking they're
• 19:07
  having a great time, 'cause I mean, it is like the Koda.
• 19:10
  There's nothing around Koda. At least you're in Miami.

  If you're a. Content, There's nothing in it.
• 19:15
  If you're a content creator, if you're only fans, model Formula
• 19:19
  One in Miami, Moto GP in Miami, that's the place for you to go.
• 19:22
  And I know. But you're an actual fan to
• 19:24
  watch the race is not. It's going to be 10 times more
• 19:28
  expensive than going Dakota. The hotels all around Miami in
• 19:32
  that area are going to Jack you through the roof.
• 19:34
  Car rental is going to be through the roof.
• 19:36
  Everything's going to be 4 or five times more expensive than
• 19:39
  going to to Dakota to watch the same race.
• 19:42
  Lewis, man, listen, you're, you're you're a eldest
• 19:44
  statesman. These young people, if they
• 19:46
  don't drop 10 grand, they don't think they had a good time.
• 19:49
  Come on. You know, Lewis is tough, man.
• 19:54
  Lewis is a tough. Old guy, the numbers guy,
• 19:59
  they're buying numbers. Come on man, what are we talking
• 20:01
  about? Yeah, Lewis is tough, man.
• 20:05
  He's a tough guy. Yo the bottles cost more than
• 20:09
  instead of slicks. I know if people go to Miami, I
• 20:13
  guarantee you they'll go to the clubs in Miami.
• 20:16
  They'll do everything else in Miami.
• 20:17
  They won't even go watch the race, man.
• 20:19
  But they'll buy a ticket, so as long as I got a ticket, it's a
• 20:21
  sale. So we're going to have eighty
• 20:25
  160,000 tickets sold and 72,000 people showing up to watch the
• 20:29
  race. This may be the closest thing to
• 20:32
  the northwest 200 the TT. This would be the closest thing
• 20:36
  until we get to Australia. So let like, you know what I'm
• 20:40
  saying, Come on. Maybe they'll open it up to Moto
• 20:43
  America and have your legs. Those guys come out on the Super
• 20:46
  Sport. If they don't go to COTA and
• 20:49
  they only go to Miami, they'll probably get a better
• 20:51
  attendance. But if they go to COTA and they
• 20:54
  go to Miami, the US is not a big enough country with enough
• 20:57
  spectators to to fill 2 events. We're not Spain, we're not
• 21:01
  Italy, we're not these countries that can have 345 events and
• 21:04
  every event sells out. We have one event and we can't
• 21:08
  even get decent people to go there.
• 21:12
  Right. 120,000 people. That was France on Sunday.
• 21:18
  I know, I know. Look.
• 21:21
  At. Sunday bro, even the French are
• 21:23
  making us look bad. Even the French are making us
• 21:25
  look bad. Man come.
• 21:27
  On but but yet everyone knows Moto GP here.
• 21:31
  Well, the the other thing is here I'm going to say at least
• 21:34
  35% of the crowd or 40% of the crowd is not even from the US.
• 21:39
  They're coming from South America, Latin America, the
• 21:41
  Caribbean, other places. Yeah, yeah.
• 21:44
  Just to visit America. No, just to visit there because
• 21:48
  nobody really wants to visit America right now, man.
• 21:50
  It's not that friendly a place. I don't know if you've heard.
• 21:54
  Whatever. Coolest friendly.
• 21:56
  Canadians don't even want to come here.
• 21:57
  They're the nicest people. Nobody wants to come here.
• 22:02
  Speaking of Speaking of people, let's talk about Marquez.
• 22:06
  You know, it's, it's tough. Let's go around the horn.
• 22:09
  Let me hear your thoughts. I, I, it's, you know, and we
• 22:12
  kind of chatted up a little bit in the chat, but what are your
• 22:15
  thoughts on Marquez this weekend?
• 22:16
  And I mean, to set down the time he did with he, let's talk.
• 22:20
  Let's start with that to set down the time he did in Qi think
• 22:23
  it was Q1 and and and set that lap record was pretty
• 22:28
  impressive. They didn't see it the whole the
• 22:30
  whole on Friday at all. And you know, maybe not I didn't
• 22:34
  see it. So what are your thoughts TJ?
• 22:38
  Yeah, Mark had to work this weekend for sure, but starting
• 22:43
  with the Q1, like, I mean, he pulled that out pretty late, but
• 22:47
  I mean, for for what the bike is going through right now, looks
• 22:52
  like he was going to be on top, you know, like he was just
• 22:56
  showing what Mark could do. And yeah, he pulled out a nice
• 23:00
  was a 129288 and he even had his his team, his coaches, you know,
• 23:07
  throwing hot fingers, you know, so but yeah, it's just from
• 23:12
  there. It's just, you know, he's he had
• 23:13
  to fight. He didn't stay in the front for
• 23:17
  the races and stuff like that. And obviously him losing the
• 23:21
  front end and that race was pretty bad.
• 23:25
  You know, he always tries to save all his slipping slides and
• 23:30
  yeah, his his elbow and knee was just not enough for for that
• 23:35
  speed he's going. So but yeah, it's a tough recap
• 23:38
  for him and hopefully he gets healthy soon.
• 23:40
  You know he's going to miss a couple of rounds, possibly so.
• 23:43
  Right, right. Yeah.
• 23:46
  Your thoughts, Reese man, on, on on Marquez's time.
• 23:49
  And then also just, you know, the crash in the Sprint race,
• 23:54
  you know, which is it's just wild to see.
• 23:56
  We were talking about this even before the last race, just how
• 23:59
  these bikes are moving around differently.
• 24:02
  They're more bucking the Ducati specifically than than before
• 24:06
  when they're crashing. One, I mean one, his times were
• 24:11
  very impressive. I mean, it shows that a guy is
• 24:13
  still fast, he still wants to win when everything works
• 24:17
  properly. But you can actually see that
• 24:20
  Marquez is pushing a lot harder than before sometimes to
• 24:25
  actually get to that pace with Bizecki, to try to stay up there
• 24:29
  or try to be very competitive with his crashes.
• 24:35
  I know not many people are going to.
• 24:36
  Some people may have their disagreements, but one, when I
• 24:40
  started with Yamaha 1, great mechanic that's still there and
• 24:44
  still inside the office. He actually told me when I first
• 24:47
  started. You actually writers are like 3
• 24:50
  stages. In the beginning they'll do
• 24:53
  stupid shit and just do dumb stuff and crash and do dumb
• 24:57
  stuff. Second, they'll kind of mellow
• 25:00
  out and they'll be the greatest writer you can be and do good
• 25:04
  for a nice long period of stretch.
• 25:06
  When they get to that third period and they're almost on
• 25:09
  their way out, they just start crashing here and there.
• 25:11
  But when they crash, they crash and things trying to push to get
• 25:19
  to that back to that level that they were at to compete with the
• 25:23
  the up and younger coming guy. You've seen it with a bunch of
• 25:26
  them and looking at Marquez, it almost looks like he's not he's
• 25:32
  pushing, but he's still there. But he almost, it almost looked
• 25:35
  like a a Rossi, A Pedroza, a Lorenzo, all those guys, when
• 25:39
  they started crashing the push a little bit more.
• 25:43
  It looks like it they they all come into that level where it's
• 25:45
  like it's almost at that time where it's like, yeah, you know
• 25:48
  what? It's only been so many times.
• 25:50
  I'm going to crash on my head and do this and ring my ring
• 25:54
  that bell. Yeah, I mean, he was playing
• 25:56
  that that that shoulder surgery, but not have to do it early
• 26:00
  because of this. Lewis man, what are your
• 26:02
  thoughts, man? Marquez and and that's what's
• 26:05
  happening and you know. I mean, I'll never say anything
• 26:09
  bad about Marquez because I, I truly admire everything he's
• 26:12
  done in this sport. From the time he's 125 to 2:50
• 26:17
  Moto 2 Moto GP, from beginning to end, everything he's ever
• 26:21
  done is, is spectacular. I mean, he's broken so many
• 26:24
  records. He set so many records that
• 26:26
  might never be broken. So I look forward to whatever he
• 26:32
  plans to do beyond this. But I think I think this last
• 26:39
  injury was I don't see is it the the nail, the the straw that
• 26:46
  breaks the camel's back. But I think we're we're right at
• 26:49
  that point now, you know, finding out that he's had a bent
• 26:52
  screw in his shoulder since the crash, since, you know, several
• 26:57
  rounds now that that sucks because that means that he was
• 27:01
  racing already injured plus injured with additional pain
• 27:05
  that didn't need to be there because there's a a bent screw
• 27:08
  in his shoulder or in his shoulder plate or something like
• 27:11
  that. But again, this is a guy that
• 27:14
  doesn't complain, keeps his head down, stays quiet, you know,
• 27:17
  says I'm doing the best for the team.
• 27:19
  The team is working the right way, like doing the PR thing.
• 27:22
  Hey, I'm not going to sit here like he said, I'm not going to
• 27:25
  see him cry to everybody that I have an injury.
• 27:27
  Like I have a job to do. It's expected for me to do and
• 27:29
  I'm going to go out there and do the best.
• 27:31
  And maybe this injury again was a lot more serious than we
• 27:35
  thought. The pain that he's been riding
• 27:37
  with is probably more serious than he thought.
• 27:39
  He's trying to ride around this pain.
• 27:41
  He said that his nerve goes dead in in an interview.
• 27:45
  So like this, this screw or this pin or whatever is putting
• 27:48
  pressure on his nerve. And after a while, like his, he
• 27:50
  starts to lose feeling, which if you know anything about riders,
• 27:54
  every rider needs feeling in their hands because that's where
• 27:56
  you're going to grab your brake, grab your throttle, do this, do
• 27:59
  that. And once you start feeling that
• 28:01
  numbness in your hand, you know you're going to lose so much
• 28:05
  ability on the bike because you only have your hands, your feet
• 28:09
  and your up and your body to move around on the bike and you
• 28:12
  lose your your feeling in one hand.
• 28:15
  That's like going into an MMA fight with one arm tan behind
• 28:18
  your back. You, you, you're looking for a
• 28:19
  long day at the office, right, right.
• 28:22
  So I hope that I hope they said the surgery went well.
• 28:25
  I hope he goes into recovery. He takes his time, even if he
• 28:29
  doesn't come back this season until the very end of the
• 28:31
  season, just kind of wash your hands of the season you got to
• 28:34
  you. He does have a contract signed
• 28:36
  somewhere. They just haven't released it.
• 28:38
  So just come back ready next year, man.
• 28:41
  There's there's nothing for you to do this year.
• 28:43
  Ducati just bought some lighter fuel.
• 28:45
  I don't know why I said Ducati has bought some lighter flu.
• 28:51
  Ironclad, ironclad contracts, man, They're not getting out of
• 28:54
  that one. No.
• 28:57
  Listen when when when a whole bunch of Ducati E bikes can burn
• 29:01
  down in the grid and nobody goes to jail.
• 29:04
  I think, I mean, in all honesty, I, I, I, I hope he takes his
• 29:09
  time because again, next year, we've spoken about it a lot.
• 29:12
  It's a whole new bike next year, right?
• 29:15
  Take this opportunity to get better, to get in shape and come
• 29:19
  back next year on a whole new bike where everybody's kind of
• 29:22
  not starting from zero because we've seen some lap times
• 29:24
  already for some bikes that have been out there testing.
• 29:28
  But it's a different playing field next year.
• 29:30
  And if he can come back next year in shape, and even if he
• 29:34
  ends up winning next year, just giving up on this year, winning
• 29:37
  next year, coming back 100% shape, he'll get that title that
• 29:41
  that elusive title that he really wants.
• 29:43
  But he'll also win on a new type of motorcycle.
• 29:47
  So he's won on 125, he's won on 250, he's won on the 4 cylinder.
• 29:51
  And now he's going to win on these new modified eight 90s.
• 29:55
  So he can almost be like Rossi, where Rossi went on 125, run on
• 29:59
  250 run on 500 run on the one thousands.
• 30:03
  I, I mean, I that would be the only reason a continuation is to
• 30:06
  beat Rossi. But let me ask this guys.
• 30:08
  I mean, you know, Mark is not the first Vignez is the first to
• 30:12
  have screws bent while riding per SE.
• 30:15
  Or, you know, I don't know if it was a common injury, but I, you
• 30:18
  know, this is not something that we we've seen often.
• 30:22
  I mean, we've seen in the past where somebody may re injure A
• 30:24
  collarbone that's been broken and has plates in it and stuff
• 30:27
  like that. But now these are screws that
• 30:29
  are getting bent. I mean, you know, this is it's
• 30:32
  it's it's should this be a bigger deal than what it is?
• 30:35
  And also, you know, I know he said he'll be back out for a
• 30:38
  couple of rounds, but we see Benihalis is not back yet.
• 30:43
  You know, what are your thoughts on, on, on, on that, TJ?
• 30:45
  Just, you know, the crashing, bending the screws or just, you
• 30:49
  know, just the training, 'cause they're, they're training so,
• 30:51
  you know, aggressively. I I definitely think Mark will
• 30:56
  be back before Maverick didn't have definitely different
• 31:00
  trainers. So I feel like Mark will
• 31:04
  definitely try to be back, you know, even if he's not
• 31:07
  competitive. Is that a slab on Lorenzo?
• 31:11
  Of course. So yeah, I think he'll be back
• 31:19
  much sooner than than Maverick. Even if he comes back, you know,
• 31:23
  Mark will just try to get his field because, you know, he
• 31:26
  can't go on as a slower pace. So I'm sure he'll make sure he
• 31:30
  he's he's set and ready. But as far as the screws
• 31:33
  bending, I don't know how usual that is.
• 31:36
  It's kind of unusual to see, you know, couple of motorcycle races
• 31:39
  that we have that have the same issue.
• 31:42
  And I'm sure it's pretty painful.
• 31:44
  I mean, they ride around it. And I was just thinking about
• 31:48
  the turn where he crashed or if they were showing like how he
• 31:51
  went a little wider than the other riders.
• 31:54
  I don't know if that it was just anticipation or if it was just,
• 31:57
  you know, running wider because of the pain and he just
• 32:00
  accidentally just lost the front.
• 32:02
  I don't know. But yeah, the Dennis screws is
• 32:06
  Chris is just unusual. Yeah, I'm not good to go
• 32:11
  through. Yeah, I I I heard, I heard
• 32:14
  something someone said that, you know, football players, European
• 32:19
  football are the toughest animals on the plate on an
• 32:24
  athlete. But we have to say motorcycle
• 32:26
  racers. What are your thoughts, Therese
• 32:28
  man on, you know, bending play bending screws.
• 32:31
  When I have a screw in my hand, I can't imagine hitting
• 32:34
  something hard enough to bend it to to now cause me pain, much
• 32:39
  less on the shoulder. I mean, bending screws suck.
• 32:43
  I mean, it does suck. It's something that, you know,
• 32:46
  all these riders go through. They all want to get back out
• 32:48
  there. They all want to, you know, try
• 32:50
  to get, you know, rush their, their injuries to get healthy.
• 32:55
  I mean, you know, like Lewis said, I mean, if that hand goes
• 32:59
  numb and there's no feeling in it, I mean, you're, you're
• 33:03
  pretty much dead in the water. It's just like, you know, our
• 33:05
  old friend, you know, our old Ryder Gonyea, his hand was numb.
• 33:09
  He had no feeling in it. It was, it'll be good for like 4
• 33:12
  laps to just go dead. So I know that feeling very well
• 33:16
  with these guys and it sucks. It's not a great feeling.
• 33:19
  So I mean, it's just like Lewis said, I mean, I hope he takes
• 33:23
  his time to fully get healthy and, and come back 100% strong.
• 33:28
  I mean, there's no rush. You have nothing to prove, you
• 33:31
  know, just take your time and he will be back before Viniales.
• 33:34
  I mean Viniales is, you know, the principal of KTM just told
• 33:38
  him, you know, do not come back. Stay out until you are fully
• 33:41
  100% healthy. So, you know, I did.
• 33:45
  I know for a fact that Mark. Mic check, you come in and out,
• 33:57
  yes. Sir, sorry about that.
• 34:00
  Not so good. Yeah, man, no, it's kind of
• 34:02
  crazy to see and hopefully it'll go well.
• 34:09
  Lewis, what do you have to say about that man?
• 34:12
  I would like to say that I'd like to see Marquez take a nice
• 34:15
  long break and come back. But knowing Marc Marquez and his
• 34:20
  perseverance slash stupidity and just the the hunger to compete,
• 34:26
  you know, I mean, I think he might be back by round 10 or
• 34:35
  round 11 because he does well at both of those tracks.
• 34:38
  So he can be back at round 10 and do some laps on the bike at
• 34:43
  the Netherlands. Netherlands Grand Prix, the very
• 34:48
  next Grand Prix is one of the best Grand prixs in the world,
• 34:51
  Germany, where he can just go and make left hand turns all day
• 34:57
  and goes super fast. So I would like to, I would like
• 35:01
  to think that if he does come back, he can probably be back
• 35:04
  around that time. That's that's late June, early
• 35:07
  mid-july. And it's just, you know, just
• 35:12
  before the long break. I think it's possible man.
• 35:20
  OK, I mean, I. I mean, there's really no long
• 35:23
  break this year. If you think about, if you look
• 35:25
  at the calendar, there's not your the usual long, long break
• 35:28
  because there's so many rounds. But but I think that if he can
• 35:32
  come back for the Netherlands and then do the German round,
• 35:38
  then he's got a month off and then he does the Great Britain
• 35:43
  and then he's got, you know, almost a month off before
• 35:45
  Aragon. Like that's a good timetable for
• 35:48
  him to come back, get some laps in, get back in shape.
• 35:51
  I mean, he says that the injury to his foot is not that serious.
• 35:54
  It was just one bone. But foot injuries take a long
• 35:58
  time to heal because the fact that you get so little oxygen to
• 36:01
  your extremities, especially your foot.
• 36:04
  So I see him spending a lot of time in a hyperbaric chamber,
• 36:07
  breathing a lot of oxygen rich environment and trying to get
• 36:11
  healthy as soon as possible. OK.
• 36:13
  All right, guys, is Ducati in trouble?
• 36:16
  I mean, you know, Diggio is our top guy.
• 36:19
  We're I'm happy to see, I think he should get the factory seat
• 36:22
  'cause he's carrying the team this year.
• 36:24
  But you know, it sounds like he's going to go to KTM.
• 36:27
  We just saw CJ man is is, I mean, you know, Marks out back 9
• 36:31
  is frustrated and, and, and Indigia.
• 36:35
  So it's really Diggia and the frustrated Back 9.
• 36:39
  I mean, yeah, I mean Ducati, I mean, we try to give them hope.
• 36:43
  I mean, there's still a lot of time left.
• 36:44
  They can, you know, they're not where Yamaha is at right now.
• 36:48
  So can't say they're like in super trouble.
• 36:51
  But you know, like you said. And yeah, is frustrated, Mark
• 36:57
  struggling to keep it together. You got Alex Marquez crashing as
• 37:03
  well. And you know, Dizzy is pretty
• 37:06
  much the only one kind of holding it together.
• 37:08
  But you know, it's, you know, there's still, you know, five
• 37:12
  through 10, you know, they're not where they past couple years
• 37:16
  getting getting lockouts and stuff like that.
• 37:19
  So and the prey is just putting it on them and, and having them
• 37:24
  think really hard and putting that real pressure on them and
• 37:27
  it's it's showing each round. So I think, I think they are in
• 37:32
  trouble, but they're not like deep, deep in the waters.
• 37:36
  Reese, man, did you deserve a factory contract?
• 37:39
  What are we talking about here? I mean, the guys looking back at
• 37:42
  at Costa and like they signed you over me.
• 37:46
  I mean, did you does deserve a factory contract?
• 37:49
  I mean, he is the only one on the Ducati actually putting in,
• 37:54
  you know, a consistent podium or a consistent great position.
• 37:59
  So he is holding down for Ducati.
• 38:01
  The factory boys are, you know, they're hurting.
• 38:04
  I mean, you keep not finishing the getting both of your guys
• 38:08
  getting the DNF or, you know, and didn't even start.
• 38:11
  So it does hurt that factory side.
• 38:14
  I mean, your, your, your satellite teams are doing a
• 38:17
  little better, are doing better than you.
• 38:19
  And I think like, like Lewis said, I think this year is just
• 38:22
  the Aprilia year. I mean, they're getting, you
• 38:24
  know, lockouts, you know, and they have their first lockout
• 38:27
  ever. So I think it's just the Aprilia
• 38:29
  is one of the bikes to beat this year and Ducati is, they're like
• 38:34
  you said, they're not as bad as anybody else.
• 38:36
  They're they're still there. They're just not the top dogs
• 38:38
  anymore right now. Yeah, I agree.
• 38:41
  I agree. It's like Aprilia is, is A10
• 38:43
  Ducati's like A7. These other guys are probably
• 38:47
  like a A5 because they they they're making progress.
• 38:52
  But what your thoughts, Louis, on Ducati, you know, is it is it
• 38:57
  just survive the season? Do we pour everything into
• 38:59
  Digia? We pour everything into Digia
• 39:02
  and back Naya because they could probably still they still have a
• 39:05
  shot to kind of, you know, you never know because Martine and
• 39:09
  and Bez might start fighting because we'll talk about Martina
• 39:13
  a little bit because his celebrations are getting out of
• 39:15
  hand. But what do you, a Ducati, lose?
• 39:22
  You're on mute, my brother. That's a good question is do you
• 39:24
  want to support two guys that both won't be with you next
• 39:31
  year? Obviously you want to win this
• 39:32
  year, you want to be successful this year.
• 39:35
  I don't see Bagnaya bouncing back.
• 39:37
  I mean, we saw that it, we saw the decline last year on the
• 39:40
  Ducati with him. And even though he's had some
• 39:43
  flashes of brilliance, he's also had some flashes of just, you
• 39:48
  know, kind of losing his cool this weekend.
• 39:51
  You know, we got video evidence of him kicking things out off
• 39:55
  the track and and going full, full, full tantrum.
• 40:00
  As he should, As he should 'cause you.
• 40:02
  Know, I'm, I'm not blaming him 'cause if, if I'm riding a bike
• 40:05
  and I'm having that many issues and they're not being addressed
• 40:08
  and I can't seem to find it and the, the team is maybe giving me
• 40:12
  what I want or maybe not giving me what I want.
• 40:14
  Cause again, we don't, we're not inside the garage.
• 40:16
  We don't know the politics and everything that's going on in
• 40:19
  there. We don't know how many used
• 40:20
  parts he's getting off Mark's bike 'cause he's, you know, he's
• 40:23
  kind of out of the loop for next year.
• 40:25
  So they're not necessarily maybe giving him, again, top level
• 40:28
  support. There's always an A rider and AB
• 40:30
  rider, and the B rider doesn't get as good a level of support
• 40:33
  as the A rider. Right, so let me ask this did
• 40:36
  did. Was it Taradasi?
• 40:39
  Did he say something to Pekko to piss him off or he's just mad at
• 40:42
  the bike? I don't know.
• 40:45
  I mean, I wish I could have been a fly on the wall because I
• 40:49
  mean, it seems like Taradasi said some things that, you know,
• 40:54
  might have rubbed him the wrong way.
• 40:56
  And even in the even in the media, he said some things that
• 40:59
  are like a little bit, I'm not going to say anti Pekko, but you
• 41:03
  know, this is a Pekko issue. It's not a Ducati issue.
• 41:06
  You know, he's yeah. So it's like, wait a second,
• 41:10
  like it's, you know, shots fired, like what's going on
• 41:13
  here? Yeah, I mean, you can't.
• 41:15
  You can't say it's Petco. We see Alex struggling too.
• 41:18
  Right. Yeah, yeah.
• 41:18
  I mean, Alex is struggling. I mean, Furman is still still
• 41:21
  getting better from his injury. I think Furman is going to be a
• 41:24
  couple more rounds before he's even at 90%.
• 41:27
  I think right now he's he's at 8085% at best.
• 41:31
  Right, but he's on a 24 bike, and we see the 24 bike as
• 41:33
  struggling even against the Hondas and the Yamahas.
• 41:36
  Yeah, yeah. So, but I, I still think he's a
• 41:39
  better rider than right now he's showing because not only he's on
• 41:42
  a older bike, but older spec bike, but he's also not at 100%.
• 41:47
  You know, he, you see him walking around the paddock, he's
• 41:49
  still got a heavy limp from that broken bone.
• 41:53
  So you know, Ducati is just the, it's, it's The Walking wounded,
• 41:57
  the emotionally wounded, the, the financially wounded.
• 42:03
  Is, is just, there's too much drama at Ducati right now.
• 42:07
  Ducati needs like a little bit of a reset button.
• 42:09
  Let's refresh everybody. Everybody's got a two year
• 42:12
  contract. Everybody's happy now we're
• 42:14
  working on the bikes like. Some people get drunk on on
• 42:18
  championships and they don't know how to function.
• 42:21
  I mean, that could be another thing, but Ducati is a company
• 42:24
  that builds their reputation on winning on Sunday and selling on
• 42:28
  Monday. And if as soon as that you start
• 42:32
  to see some chinks in the armor, man, that that's that's not good
• 42:35
  for them as a company overall and it's not good for them in
• 42:40
  the translation of sales because we spoke about it.
• 42:43
  They are right now like the innovator in street bikes, in
• 42:48
  high performance street bikes. And if we don't see them on the
• 42:51
  podium, you know, I'm not going to say Aprilia sales are going
• 42:55
  to go up because technically the Aprilia is a modified version of
• 42:58
  the same bike, just keeps getting refined, refined,
• 43:00
  refined, refined, refined, refined.
• 43:02
  Whereas Ducati really does complete makeovers, design
• 43:06
  makeovers and everything else. I I disagree that people are
• 43:09
  going to go buy some Aprilia for sure.
• 43:11
  I mean, because they're on sale, because nobody's buying them.
• 43:13
  So yeah, people buy them. They're.
• 43:16
  Gonna buy some Aprilia. I will say this, I had a guy
• 43:19
  this this past week that's a really good rider, really,
• 43:23
  really good rider. And he rode back-to-back to back
• 43:28
  a Aprilia RSV 4 factory brand new ABM WS1000 double RM spec,
• 43:35
  so carbon wheels, the whole kit and caboodle and and a brand new
• 43:39
  Ducati V4. And he rated them Aprilia 1
• 43:45
  Ducati to BMW last. And he said, you know, the
• 43:50
  Aprilia might not be the most modern or coolest looking bike,
• 43:55
  but the bike does everything a bike needs to do.
• 43:57
  It has a sole when you get on the gas, when you get on the
• 44:00
  brakes, like it feeds back to you a lot of information.
• 44:04
  You feel confident on the bike. The Ducati is right there close
• 44:07
  to the Aprilia with a couple of things that, you know, it's not
• 44:11
  as good as the Aprilia, but the Aprilia is also 100 CCS more
• 44:15
  because they sell an 1100 for the street, not a 1000.
• 44:19
  And he said the BMW is just a soulless machine.
• 44:22
  You can tell it was built by Germans.
• 44:23
  It has no soul. Well, I listen, I'm a fan of I
• 44:30
  might get another one. And you know, I think Pekko
• 44:32
  recognized that Ducati was struggling last year, but he got
• 44:36
  the blame for a lot of it. But let's let's move on and talk
• 44:39
  about Honda and Yamaha. How good was it to see Yamaha,
• 44:43
  Honda fighting in the top seven, top 8 and mid?
• 44:47
  If he didn't crash out on Sunday, it might have been even
• 44:50
  sweeter. I was excited to see that even
• 44:52
  though Quattroaro said some things and I'm going to talk
• 44:54
  about that as well. What are your thoughts, TJ on
• 44:58
  on. How they looking, Yeah, Honda
• 45:01
  especially, definitely looking good, especially for the the
• 45:04
  French guys, you know, felt like it was a little battle between
• 45:08
  the two. And I'm very surprised that, you
• 45:11
  know, Fabio was very able to pull out what he what he did,
• 45:15
  especially going to was it Q1Q2? Yeah, Q2 it was just back and
• 45:22
  forth with the leaders, you know, and and Zarka was able to
• 45:25
  pull it out and it's just for the fans, you know, it's just
• 45:30
  kind of what they came to see, even though his pace wasn't able
• 45:34
  to hold up and, you know, and mirror, he said, I just wish he
• 45:41
  can just finish a a weekend. But his pace is also been
• 45:45
  improving and he's he's been fighting and staying above, you
• 45:50
  know, top 10. So but Fabio rode very well,
• 45:55
  very, you know, surprising to see him run basically top five
• 45:58
  the whole race. But he pulled everything that he
• 46:01
  could out of that bike. Yeah, I agree.
• 46:04
  So he probably looked good. But Yamaha?
• 46:06
  Yamaha finally looked good this weekend.
• 46:09
  You know, you know, you didn't mention Ren's.
• 46:11
  Ren's got into. Q2, yeah.
• 46:12
  And you? Know you know what are your
• 46:16
  thoughts Ares on on on Honda and Yamaha how they did you know
• 46:21
  there's only one French guy on the on the Yamaha TJ not too,
• 46:24
  but you know, we'll we'll we'll we'll let it.
• 46:28
  We'll let that. Start talking about Kamal Zarko.
• 46:31
  OK, OK, OK. Yeah, no Zarko's up there.
• 46:35
  You know, you like to see Blue being that competitive at the
• 46:39
  top level, right? I mean, I definitely like to see
• 46:42
  blue competitive. I mean, like you said, I'm I'm
• 46:44
  I'm surprised, like I was pretty much speechless on Ren getting
• 46:48
  into Q2. That was I had no words for
• 46:51
  that. I don't know where that came
• 46:52
  from. But and I was happy to see, you
• 46:55
  know, Quattro up there in the top five top, you know, top six
• 46:58
  battling back and forth. I mean, he did say that this was
• 47:01
  like the first time in a long time that he can actually push
• 47:04
  the bike to that limit. Like he like he couldn't do it
• 47:08
  before. Now all of a sudden he can.
• 47:10
  So it was nice to see him up there.
• 47:12
  Nice to see the blue brand back up, you know, at least doing
• 47:15
  what they should be doing. Hopefully they can keep on this
• 47:19
  and figure something the hell out and get back up there.
• 47:22
  Be great with mirror. I mean, it seemed like, I mean,
• 47:26
  it was nice to see mirror with the pace and that to see him up
• 47:29
  there. I mean, but I feel like I'm on
• 47:32
  like, you know, like Fast and the furious, another sequel to
• 47:36
  the crash out. Like, I don't know how big this
• 47:38
  guy's crash Bill is or how much he's spending on crash, but
• 47:41
  Jesus Christ, man, like every time I turn around, this guy is
• 47:45
  crashing. I'm, I don't know if it's a
• 47:49
  Spanish thing because Acosta, him and Marquez, right?
• 47:52
  And boys, when they, they, they crash, they don't, they don't
• 47:55
  take it easy, you know, and, and.
• 48:01
  Right. I mean, everybody, no, go ahead,
• 48:04
  go ahead. It was just.
• 48:05
  No, you kind of chopped up a little bit, so I was just
• 48:08
  pausing for you. Go ahead.
• 48:11
  No, I mean it's everyone. There was a lot of crashes.
• 48:16
  I mean Bender, you know, crash mirror crashed.
• 48:20
  I mean, it was a it was a whole Spanish crash, but it's just
• 48:25
  with mirror man. I don't I don't know what he's
• 48:28
  doing to keep crashing. Like what is he doing that makes
• 48:32
  him crash? Like is he like having a brain
• 48:35
  fart in the middle of a race? He's pushing harder than the the
• 48:37
  other Hondas. Nah, something my skull numb.
• 48:46
  His brain, he's a. Pop Honda rider and then crashes
• 48:50
  out. Yeah, but I mean, you got to
• 48:54
  think about this. Think about us on us on this
• 48:57
  side as a crew member, you think, I really want to stay up
• 49:00
  all night rebuilding your bike every weekend like, I'm not
• 49:04
  coming no more. I'm like, yo, dude, all you
• 49:05
  gonna do is crash, man. Here, just take this piece of
• 49:07
  crap. I'm I'm this is, I'm over Jesus
• 49:11
  Christ. That's your job.
• 49:13
  There was some importance. That.
• 49:15
  Happens this weekend. Thanks Louis for your job.
• 49:21
  He's keeping you employed and you complaining.
• 49:24
  Yeah, he's keeping me employed. Keep me up all night.
• 49:28
  Too. Hey, that's why you salary.
• 49:34
  You got to negotiate. You got to talk to numbers.
• 49:37
  Guy. I hate him.
• 49:43
  No, we don't know. Nobody wants to see the bill.
• 49:46
  What are your thoughts on Honda and Yamaha Lewis?
• 49:49
  Well, first for Yamaha. What do I say the hometown?
• 49:53
  Half a second is a real thing. He, you know, Cuadraro is going
• 49:58
  faster in France than anywhere else.
• 50:00
  He's saying that he's got feeling, he's got this, he's got
• 50:03
  that. Let's see what happens the next
• 50:04
  round. Let's see if he can maintain
• 50:07
  that 5th, 6th place, 7th place finish at the next round.
• 50:11
  It. Is this an anomaly just for
• 50:13
  France or did they find something in France that helped
• 50:18
  him go a half a second faster other than the fans cheering for
• 50:21
  him? Let's just say Quatarara came
• 50:23
  out of Q1 of Q2, Renzo's already there.
• 50:26
  And you look at the Q times, I mean, you know, at least at
• 50:31
  least Alex Marquet is the better for his home track debut than
• 50:35
  Quatarara did. But you so do you think it's
• 50:40
  more Quatarara than the Yamaha is what you're saying based on
• 50:42
  that? I think it's more Quattro hour
• 50:45
  than the Yamaha. Either he himself has modified
• 50:48
  something to work around the issues with the Yamaha, or
• 50:51
  again, it's just the hometown. Half a second, man.
• 50:53
  When you got your fans, when you got hundreds of thousands of
• 50:56
  people cheering for you, you're there with your family.
• 51:00
  You're there trying to, you know, put on a show for the
• 51:02
  people that supported you, that your countrymen.
• 51:05
  You find a quarter second, you find a half a second.
• 51:08
  It's a real thing, man. It's not something that's
• 51:10
  made-up. So let's, let's see, let's see
• 51:14
  at the next round if he can still maintain that.
• 51:17
  I will say one thing that I heard from Yamaha, which I was
• 51:21
  like, man, that is, I mean, if you think that's a bar, you're
• 51:25
  setting a very low bar. Like the manager from Yamaha
• 51:29
  said that they were happy to have finished 7 seconds off the
• 51:34
  winner of the race, like within 7 seconds.
• 51:40
  So there's they were 7.7 seconds behind Martine.
• 51:44
  In the Sprint. In the race, well remember the
• 51:48
  Sprint is half the half the distance, but in the actual race
• 51:51
  there are 7.7 seconds from the winner and that seems like it's
• 51:57
  not a lot. But remember this is Moto GP
• 51:59
  worth tenths of a second or a world of difference. 7.7
• 52:04
  seconds. That's like me racing a super
• 52:07
  bike on a 600 and saying, oh, I finished 22 seconds behind, you
• 52:12
  know? No, man, that's that's.
• 52:14
  What? That's like you be rolling out a
• 52:16
  new bike and you finishing seven seconds behind people who
• 52:19
  already got something to establish and you know, you got
• 52:21
  room to play. They got room to play and
• 52:23
  they're playing if they can, if they can cut that 7 seconds to
• 52:27
  down to 4 1/2 five seconds by the summer break.
• 52:31
  But I mean, it's, it's, it's a wash by the end of the season
• 52:34
  because we know we're changing the bikes next year.
• 52:36
  It's still a, it's still a, as far as motivation and, and what
• 52:40
  your team is doing. If you can chase these guys down
• 52:43
  versus throwing in a towel, right?
• 52:44
  I mean, he's getting points, man.
• 52:46
  Like he's getting championship points, you know, I think this
• 52:48
  weekend he walked away with 15 championship points.
• 52:53
  Not bad. Which is not bad compared to
• 52:55
  where he was last year at the same time on on the bike, like,
• 52:59
  you know, he's not necessarily going backwards.
• 53:02
  That's that's the the most positive thing I can say is that
• 53:05
  at least he's not going backwards because I think he
• 53:07
  again, I think he's an incredible talent and I really
• 53:11
  do want to see him perform well. And I hope when he moves on to
• 53:15
  the next bike, he doesn't significantly better on that
• 53:19
  bike 'cause I still think that the Honda is the better of the
• 53:21
  two bikes right now and I still think that Honda is developing
• 53:24
  the bike faster than Yamaha. I agree.
• 53:27
  I and yeah, yeah, I think so. And I think, you know, even I
• 53:31
  believe that Honda's on the step either level with KTM or above
• 53:37
  KTM because if you look at more or less when where KTM riders
• 53:40
  finish on a regular and Honda riders finish on a regular when
• 53:43
  they finish, the Honda riders tend to finish higher than most
• 53:47
  of the KTM riders when they finish.
• 53:49
  Right, no doubt, no doubt. Let me ask this before we we
• 53:52
  kind of talk about some more racing and then get out of here.
• 53:56
  You know, Quattro Rawa had some some some negative things to say
• 54:00
  before the the race weekend happened and then he had a
• 54:03
  better result than than he may have thought of at the beginning
• 54:08
  of the season. We see contracts with with we
• 54:11
  see Martine last year. Do you think that these teams
• 54:18
  are going to stop putting in language not to badmouth us, not
• 54:21
  to say if you're signed under us, not to say negative things
• 54:23
  about us, even if the bike is not working to your advantage?
• 54:29
  We'll start with TJ. Yeah, I mean, they'll probably
• 54:33
  have to. Mark Marquez will probably have
• 54:35
  to do it first and then they'll make the rule, but I think they
• 54:40
  should so. He didn't.
• 54:41
  He's a he's a old school writer. He didn't bad my fondo when they
• 54:44
  were bad. True, so but so I don't they
• 54:48
  might let us stand because I don't know.
• 54:50
  They do say it's just like right on borderline, you know, but the
• 54:55
  adrenaline is so high, especially when it comes to the
• 54:57
  racing, like how they react to it.
• 55:00
  I can always think of how Pasier reacts, reacted and even after
• 55:05
  the race like how Paco reacts and even in the press
• 55:09
  conferences. I'd rather him pick the doctor
• 55:13
  all day long. Yeah.
• 55:16
  And at the end of the day, like you're representing their brand
• 55:19
  and you don't want to tarnish it some kind of the way like
• 55:22
  Martine did slightly. So I'd probably take like one
• 55:26
  more racer to say something crazy and then they'll probably
• 55:29
  do something about it. Right, right.
• 55:32
  What are your thoughts, Reese, Man, do you, do you, do you hear
• 55:34
  that stuff when you're walking down the hall and people are
• 55:36
  talking behind closed doors? What can we stop the writers
• 55:39
  from saying? From saying it, but know that
• 55:46
  you can say right, they're going to have fun, they're right there
• 55:51
  and they know exactly what to say and saying and not get in
• 55:55
  trouble but being so more they just want to keep you out, you
• 55:59
  know, done with this, though, I mean it is it's going to take a
• 56:03
  whole like sort of every team to put something.
• 56:09
  Right, right. Well, I unfortunately we get you
• 56:11
  were getting in and out, but I think you're sitting here saying
• 56:14
  that if they continue to, even though they danced the line a
• 56:18
  little bit, you know, eventually they could they can get
• 56:20
  themselves in trouble or something to that effect.
• 56:24
  Right. If the it's, you know, it's
• 56:27
  they, they just do that. They just walk that thin line,
• 56:29
  that thin line they stay on, that's all.
• 56:32
  Right, right. Let me ask you this, Lewis.
• 56:35
  I mean, we know that they have collective bargaining going on
• 56:38
  and and Moto GP as a whole is trying to get more meteor rights
• 56:43
  from Liberty. You think Liberty, you know, we
• 56:46
  know Liberty's concerned, concerned about their brand.
• 56:48
  So you think they can somehow they can see some language in,
• 56:51
  in in there to kind of get to get riders to just say nice
• 56:54
  things on camera? I mean, this could be, this
• 56:59
  could be another collective bargaining point is, you know,
• 57:02
  maybe they put a penalty system in for riders that speak poorly
• 57:06
  about the brand, about the company, about their
• 57:09
  manufacturers. You know, you can't really, you
• 57:14
  can't really stop people from speaking badly about you.
• 57:17
  But you can find them. The NBA does it, the NFL does
• 57:20
  it. The N, you know, all these Major
• 57:22
  League teams, if you talk bad about a referee, you know, on
• 57:27
  Monday, the NBA front office sends you a nice big bill for,
• 57:30
  hey, we're taking this much out of your check.
• 57:32
  The NFL does the same thing. Major League Baseball does the
• 57:34
  same thing. All these major sports do that.
• 57:37
  Formula One doesn't do that specifically, but most of the
• 57:42
  riders there, most of the drivers in Formula One kind of
• 57:47
  minimize their critiques to other teams, not the team that
• 57:50
  they're on. So they'll talk badly about
• 57:52
  other riders, which is fine because that is what Liberty
• 57:55
  Media and all these companies want.
• 57:56
  They want these rivalries. They want people to clash and
• 57:59
  butt heads because it brings more attention.
• 58:02
  As long as you don't talk bad about the overall product, as
• 58:05
  long as you don't talk about the series or your manufacturer or
• 58:11
  anything like that. So maybe this is something they
• 58:13
  put in the collective bargaining agreement because it's really
• 58:15
  hard to put that in an individual rider's contract.
• 58:18
  Because I'm a, if I'm a rider, I'm going to be like, hey, you
• 58:20
  got to take that out of my contract.
• 58:22
  I'm not, I don't want to sign this contract like you want to
• 58:24
  sign me as a talent. You got to, you got to take this
• 58:27
  out of the contract. But if the series all of a
• 58:31
  sudden imposes some sort of restriction or a finding
• 58:35
  allowance, hey, if you talk badly about our tire
• 58:38
  manufacturer, we can fine you up to, you know, fifty, $60,000,
• 58:43
  then people will stop shitting on Michelin or Bridgestone,
• 58:46
  whoever's the tire manufacturer. You know, I'm not going to say
• 58:50
  something like that exists in Motor America, but I've, I
• 58:53
  haven't heard too many people talk badly about Dunlop in Motor
• 58:56
  America, even though when the camera's not around, I've heard
• 59:00
  some scathing, scathing things about that rhymes with shit.
• 59:11
  But when the cameras around, you know, I like to thank MOTU,
• 59:14
  Dunlap, permission, foods, chips, you know, blah, blah,
• 59:17
  blah, blah, blah. Because you know.
• 59:19
  Say no. You got to play the game.
• 59:21
  Right, right, right, right. So see.
• 59:23
  This camera's off. Oh, these chips sucks.
• 59:25
  These tires are shit. I don't even use this oil.
• 59:32
  I have no idea what he's talking about.
• 59:36
  Let's moonwalk right past this. Hey, I again Mission chips if
• 59:43
  you're listening. I I like your chips.
• 59:45
  I like your tortillas. I buy that shit.
• 59:48
  I support it. Even before you were part of
• 59:50
  Motor America, I I like your stuff.
• 59:52
  If you want to send some to my house, I'll give you my address.
• 59:55
  More than happy to make tortillas, eat them here on the
• 59:57
  pod, give you some some screen time.
• 1:00:03
  There you go, there you go. I think TJ might have had some
• 1:00:05
  already. Let me ask guys.
• 1:00:12
  I got A2 parter. You know the elephant in the
• 1:00:16
  room? Aprilia, right?
• 1:00:17
  Aya guru. I mean man, if can't.
• 1:00:23
  Well, first question, yes or no? And why do you guys think that
• 1:00:28
  Aprilia can end the season 1-2 and three?
• 1:00:31
  Don't know what order of riders but 1-2 and three yes No And why
• 1:00:36
  TJ? I mean, they got the strongest
• 1:00:41
  bikes. I'll say yes, very possible for
• 1:00:45
  the rate things are going. They stay this strong.
• 1:00:51
  Yeah, I'll call it like how I'll go to say a little late race
• 1:00:54
  pace. So I thought you can keep.
• 1:00:56
  I think they can do it. I don't know what order, but
• 1:00:59
  yes. All right, what are your
• 1:01:00
  thoughts? What are your thoughts?
• 1:01:02
  Reeks and April, you'll pull it off 123.
• 1:01:06
  I think they can. I mean, they're they showing
• 1:01:08
  strong signs. I believe they can, man.
• 1:01:11
  All right, all right, all right, Lewis.
• 1:01:17
  Yeah, I think they can do it. All right, so now if, if, if
• 1:01:21
  Aprilia finishes 1-2 and three and Aya Gur is one of them and
• 1:01:28
  Martine is one of them and they go to Yamaha next year, Can
• 1:01:32
  Yamaha pull away the chip next year, TJ?
• 1:01:38
  I don't know the next year that's, that's all different.
• 1:01:41
  I was just excited to see what that's about, you know, I, I
• 1:01:45
  don't know to see Yamaha just turned around just like that.
• 1:01:50
  I don't know if. They got the the top three
• 1:01:52
  riders you know for next year, one of the you know.
• 1:01:58
  If they have the top riders. But what if the another
• 1:02:00
  manufacturer figs it out before those top three riders?
• 1:02:04
  You know, not how the game goes. What are your thoughts on?
• 1:02:09
  Go ahead. What I was going to say is they
• 1:02:12
  can. What you got is pretty the top
• 1:02:14
  three. It's possibly they can be top
• 1:02:16
  four. I mean, if Raul steps it up a
• 1:02:19
  little bit, I mean, they're they're right there.
• 1:02:22
  So that'll be impressive. But top three of you is I think
• 1:02:26
  can happen all. Right, cool.
• 1:02:28
  I mean, look, man, we we this kind of seems like it.
• 1:02:31
  What's your thoughts, Reese? And can, can you know, can would
• 1:02:34
  that be possible for Yamaha next year with a Iagura and a Martine
• 1:02:37
  if they finished top 123 this year?
• 1:02:42
  Depends on the package, man. Depends on the package that
• 1:02:44
  Yamaha steps up and brings to the plate.
• 1:02:47
  And like Lewis said, they don't bring a shit box.
• 1:02:49
  You know which I think if I think if everything goes well, I
• 1:02:55
  think they can, you know, be back in the top of the box.
• 1:02:58
  But you know, it all depends on what package I have.
• 1:03:01
  Hopefully I do have faith. So we'll see all.
• 1:03:06
  Right, All right, so who's going to have the the the the best
• 1:03:09
  shit box is going to win the championship next year.
• 1:03:12
  What do you what do you you got a lot to say, Lewis.
• 1:03:14
  I see you over there. Hold.
• 1:03:15
  On for real, You know you've got everything you're saying.
• 1:03:18
  The team shittiest box is going to win.
• 1:03:22
  Everybody's box is going to be a little shitty next year because
• 1:03:24
  everything is new. I don't think Yamaha is going to
• 1:03:27
  make that massive a turn around. You know, I really.
• 1:03:30
  Know 5-6. And one track with one dude
• 1:03:36
  that's not going to be there next year.
• 1:03:38
  Listen man, you have to to get your first date.
• 1:03:42
  You got to start somewhere. Well, they're going to be single
• 1:03:45
  for a hot minute. I think Agura, you know, Agura
• 1:03:51
  right now, he did the right thing for him as a young rider
• 1:03:55
  having an opportunity to go to a factory bike 'cause he didn't
• 1:03:57
  see another factory bike opening for himself.
• 1:04:00
  So if he's going to go to Yamaha as a young rider, 1 Asian rider
• 1:04:04
  on a Asian manufacturer, that's already a win marketing wise
• 1:04:10
  and, and, and targeted audience wise.
• 1:04:14
  You know, I want an Asian rider on my Asian motorcycle like
• 1:04:17
  that's, that's, that's a win, win the same way I want an
• 1:04:20
  Italian rider on an Italian bike and so on and so.
• 1:04:22
  Forth and Davio might leave if the rumors are true.
• 1:04:25
  Davio supposedly is gone. OK.
• 1:04:27
  See, there he goes. He's gone.
• 1:04:28
  He's going to Honda. He's going to Honda, he's going
• 1:04:31
  to be and and this is one of the reasons why if if Mir leaves,
• 1:04:37
  it's going to suck because Mirror did very, very well with
• 1:04:40
  Davio when they were at Suzuki. And I think the next to Gigi
• 1:04:46
  Delegia, I think Davio is one of the best team managers,
• 1:04:50
  consultants you can have working for you because the dude knows
• 1:04:53
  how to build great bikes out of not great bikes.
• 1:04:57
  Yeah. And he?
• 1:04:59
  He he was with Rossi in the early days of Yamaha too.
• 1:05:02
  Let's not. Yeah, Rossi, early days of
• 1:05:04
  Yamaha, Suzuki turned it around, took a bike that nobody thought
• 1:05:07
  could win and, you know, won several races, was always
• 1:05:10
  competitive. The last, you know, competitive
• 1:05:14
  force in the bike that's in the series was the Suzuki and, you
• 1:05:19
  know, won a championship with Mir at Suzuki when nobody
• 1:05:23
  thought that Suzuki would have any chance of winning the
• 1:05:25
  championship. So this guy is is the real deal.
• 1:05:28
  And I think he brings a lot of knowledge to Honda that that
• 1:05:31
  Honda can use. I think, you know, again,
• 1:05:37
  depending on the package that Yamaha brings, you know,
• 1:05:40
  Martine's a talented rider. He's going to do the best he can
• 1:05:42
  do with what he's got. But Kwaderonero's a talented
• 1:05:45
  rider and he can't do anything with the Yamaha as it is today.
• 1:05:49
  Maybe Yamaha need to reset and go a different direction with
• 1:05:52
  somebody else and Quadrara needs to reset, go with another
• 1:05:55
  manufacturing start. Like I said before, with Ducati,
• 1:05:58
  sometimes you got to kind of clear the table and be like,
• 1:06:00
  hey, let's do a hard reset. You know, let's the, the, the,
• 1:06:04
  the EC, the PCU crashed, the hard drive crashed.
• 1:06:07
  Let's reset this computer, hit, you know, control alt delete,
• 1:06:11
  pull the plug out, whatever you got to do, restart this thing
• 1:06:14
  and let's see if we can with a refresh and get that glitch out.
• 1:06:17
  Giant magnet. Giant magnet.
• 1:06:20
  We don't. That's not getting a glitch out.
• 1:06:22
  That's. Killing the computer we.
• 1:06:26
  Just want to do like you know like a plug it and unplug it for
• 1:06:30
  the printer just to get the printer to work again.
• 1:06:33
  OK, no doubt. Before we get out of here, guys,
• 1:06:38
  Martine. Oh, hey, Martine.
• 1:06:40
  Is he the Max Biazzi of celebrations or trying to
• 1:06:44
  celebrate? What's up with the dance?
• 1:06:46
  And what's up with the, the, the interview at the end where he's
• 1:06:51
  almost saying all I want to do is zoom, zoom, zoom and a boom,
• 1:06:53
  boom. Like literally what's the, you
• 1:06:55
  know, he, he's getting out of hand with the celebrations.
• 1:07:00
  So, man, we all know our team needs to get it together and he
• 1:07:07
  needs to not celebrate like that.
• 1:07:09
  Like he hasn't really done much. I mean, even from years back
• 1:07:14
  when he was celebrating, it always turned around and bit him
• 1:07:17
  in the ass. So I don't know it it, I don't
• 1:07:21
  know. I know he's happy one
• 1:07:23
  back-to-back. But yeah, you know, so so
• 1:07:26
  sometimes. You get happy, you say things.
• 1:07:30
  You don't realize what you say, you know.
• 1:07:33
  Yeah, he gets a little too excited sometimes though.
• 1:07:36
  Like maybe, maybe one quick dance move and that's it.
• 1:07:40
  But like, like it was like a he's.
• 1:07:44
  One of the Champions or someday or salsa.
• 1:07:47
  He he was kind of with me. What are your thoughts?
• 1:07:48
  Louis Reese's. He doesn't want to comment on
• 1:07:51
  Martina at all. He's out of here.
• 1:07:55
  It looked like epilepsy, like somebody checked on him because
• 1:07:59
  it looked like he was having a a epileptic seizure up there.
• 1:08:02
  If you're going to celebrate, be good at the celebration.
• 1:08:06
  You wheelie, you crash, you try to dance, looks like you're
• 1:08:10
  having a seizure. Like, come on either if if you
• 1:08:13
  can't celebrate, don't celebrate.
• 1:08:15
  Just shake the bottle. Little bit of junk.
• 1:08:18
  Hey, I won. That's it.
• 1:08:19
  Just just get out bro. You're embarrassing yourself.
• 1:08:23
  You know, there's only a few people that are really good at
• 1:08:25
  doing like high end celebration, orchestrated celebrations.
• 1:08:29
  He ain't one of them bro. You know he's the Max Biaggi
• 1:08:33
  going to 13 o'clock on a bike and almost crashing, not the
• 1:08:39
  Valentino Rossi stopping and using the bathroom or sweeping
• 1:08:42
  the the dirt. Like bro, stop, stop with this
• 1:08:46
  man. If he going to keep, if he's
• 1:08:48
  going to keep celebrating, I hope he doesn't win just so we
• 1:08:50
  don't have to see celebrations to be legit.
• 1:08:52
  He he might. I don't need to see that he.
• 1:08:56
  Might get to read. It What are your thoughts,
• 1:08:58
  Reese? Do you?
• 1:09:01
  Do you? Do you talk to your your guys
• 1:09:03
  when they do a bad celebration and tell them not to?
• 1:09:05
  Do you guys clown them when nobody's around?
• 1:09:07
  What happens when a rider does a bad celebration?
• 1:09:09
  What do you do? I don't know if Reese can hear
• 1:09:13
  us. I think he's tapped out.
• 1:09:15
  He's tapped out. Reese, I think you can't hear
• 1:09:20
  us, man. I think you tapped out.
• 1:09:23
  We don't have to. We don't have to move on.
• 1:09:28
  But next time we'll get Reese his comments.
• 1:09:31
  Oh, I guess we got a show before we get out of here.
• 1:09:34
  So where is the the results? They're around here somewhere.
• 1:09:40
  There they are. So yeah, it was a good weekend
• 1:09:45
  for Aprilia. The one thing Marquez, man, the
• 1:09:48
  one time he lets me down takes a whole week out.
• 1:09:52
  There you are, Reese. Only if I Only if Mark's
• 1:09:57
  finished man. Oh.
• 1:10:02
  Mark. Mark killed him bro.
• 1:10:04
  Yeah, yeah. No, he definitely, he
• 1:10:05
  definitely. Well, obviously not racing on.
• 1:10:07
  Sundays killed all of us, man. Yeah, the the, the one time I
• 1:10:12
  pick him is not is is not good, but scores not looking too bad,
• 1:10:16
  guys. I mean, I guess when you're up
• 1:10:18
  front it never looks too bad. So, you know, 293, I won't gloat
• 1:10:22
  too much, TJ, man, I I can send you some notes if you'd like.
• 1:10:28
  I can help you out, you know. Don't worry, I'll be chasing the
• 1:10:31
  rabbit. You got late.
• 1:10:33
  Reefs taste like all these other rabbits.
• 1:10:35
  Right, right. Reese is.
• 1:10:36
  Coming y'all lose y'all focus, I'll lose y'all focus get
• 1:10:44
  comfortable I'm. I'm I'm enjoying every round,
• 1:10:48
  but I know it's not going to last.
• 1:10:49
  Trust me that that's how it goes.
• 1:10:54
  It's it's it's it's it's tough. It's tough, but it it's exciting
• 1:10:57
  to see. Yeah, man, you all.
• 1:11:00
  I don't know if you heard us, Reese, about the if you had an
• 1:11:04
  experience when writers have bad celebration And also do you want
• 1:11:07
  to comment on Martine celebration a little bit?
• 1:11:09
  But if you've had experience with writers celebrating going
• 1:11:12
  celebration is going bad. Do you guys say anything to them
• 1:11:15
  after the fact or behind closed doors?
• 1:11:19
  One yes, just don't do it no more 2 Mark Martine celebrations
• 1:11:23
  suck. He needs to like go practice
• 1:11:25
  them on by himself. Just go practice.
• 1:11:28
  They suck. Yeah, just just be humble.
• 1:11:32
  That's it. Hey, I got it.
• 1:11:35
  Looks like a little. Out there to celebrate it.
• 1:11:37
  I don't, I don't try to, I don't even dance, man.
• 1:11:39
  I don't even, I don't even attempt it, man.
• 1:11:42
  What? What did you guys before we
• 1:11:44
  leave? What do you guys think of the
• 1:11:46
  little top of that? Acosta said that he didn't
• 1:11:50
  appreciate the Jan Antonio looking back at him when he
• 1:11:52
  passed him and continually look back at him as he was pulling
• 1:11:55
  the way out of the last turn. He took it a little personal and
• 1:11:58
  that he's going to return to favor at some point.
• 1:12:01
  Well, I, I, I think I, I don't know if you heard me when I said
• 1:12:05
  it, when you were talking, I think did you look back and was
• 1:12:07
  like the factory signed you over me?
• 1:12:13
  I mean, Costa got his ass kicked pretty.
• 1:12:16
  I mean, not like that, but he just couldn't.
• 1:12:19
  He just didn't have enough. I mean, he knew it too.
• 1:12:22
  He just didn't have enough. And yeah, that's what he gets.
• 1:12:25
  I mean if you had the better end.
• 1:12:30
  If you don't want to get past. If you don't like getting past,
• 1:12:33
  go faster. Don't give go faster.
• 1:12:35
  Don't get past. Go faster.
• 1:12:36
  Don't get past. You can't be a sore loser, you
• 1:12:39
  know. Think about it.
• 1:12:41
  He does it to people all the time, so you know, sometimes you
• 1:12:45
  know, you got to eat it when they pass you.
• 1:12:47
  But it'll be interesting to see if it's just manufactured
• 1:12:51
  something or if like he he gives Digia a little bit of a hard
• 1:12:54
  pass. Yeah, I think it's probably the
• 1:12:57
  heat of the moment. I don't know if Digia would do
• 1:12:59
  that. He's a classy guy.
• 1:13:02
  We don't know if if Acosta is doing a little dirty stuff in
• 1:13:06
  the race to kind of irritate Digi as well or to make it
• 1:13:10
  difficult for him. So he was just like, look, I
• 1:13:12
  finally got you. Because sometimes some riders,
• 1:13:14
  you know, they'll do stuff. They see you, they like, they
• 1:13:16
  know you. They, they obviously not, you're
• 1:13:18
  not supposed to let anybody pass you.
• 1:13:20
  But at the same time, you know, they, they, they kind of do some
• 1:13:23
  stuff. And eventually when you pass
• 1:13:24
  them, you kind of want to be like, yeah, finally I got you,
• 1:13:27
  dude, because you've been riding effed up for so long.
• 1:13:30
  But you know, for Acosta, yeah, like Lewis said, you got to
• 1:13:35
  beat, did you? And that didn't happen.
• 1:13:38
  It sucks when it happens on on this two last two corners.
• 1:13:42
  It sucks to get passed on the last two corners on the final
• 1:13:44
  lap. Didn't go fast I mean.
• 1:13:51
  He's a little. More.
• 1:13:52
  A little more. Like, aye, Gora, I mean, even at
• 1:13:55
  the end, like he was stuck behind Fabio I think for a while
• 1:13:59
  and you know, just to just to get by and finally, yeah, I
• 1:14:04
  would look to the side too, you know, just to be like, thank you
• 1:14:08
  in my way. But.
• 1:14:10
  I think if if Agora had gotten around Fabio earlier, I think he
• 1:14:14
  would have probably taken that second from Baz man.
• 1:14:18
  Possibly, yeah. Because he was coming fast.
• 1:14:22
  But but riders do that. Marquez have done that.
• 1:14:24
  Look back, you know, Rossi obviously has done that to
• 1:14:27
  riders. I mean, sometimes you just you
• 1:14:29
  just check in to make sure if they went down or not.
• 1:14:31
  So you don't know if he he maybe he thought he might have made
• 1:14:35
  Acosta go down, but like you know, for Acosta.
• 1:14:42
  He's chippy though he lose a lot of wings.
• 1:14:44
  Like a little, a lot of touch he gets.
• 1:14:46
  It's close so well, Digi's comment is that.
• 1:14:51
  Digi's comment was that he's nothing special, he's just any
• 1:14:53
  other rider that's out there with him.
• 1:14:56
  That's true. That's true.
• 1:14:58
  I mean. You win, you win a champion.
• 1:15:01
  What's this his third year in in world of GP?
• 1:15:04
  I think it's yeah, third, third, second with the factory team.
• 1:15:07
  Yeah, yeah, You know what I'm saying?
• 1:15:09
  And he, I mean, Furman's won, O, won a race already.
• 1:15:13
  Raul's won a race already. He hasn't won.
• 1:15:16
  He has the most podiums. That hasn't won a race, right?
• 1:15:20
  You know? So he's knocked off Colin Switz.
• 1:15:22
  Yeah, yeah. Throwback.
• 1:15:29
  That's harsh. That's.
• 1:15:30
  A harsh throwback. That's a harsh Jesus Christ.
• 1:15:34
  For riding in Moto GP for 17 years and never win in a race,
• 1:15:37
  Colin Edwards and. You know that for that's huge,
• 1:15:43
  right? Because you know, when you think
• 1:15:44
  about it, there are a lot of riders that's gone into Moto GP
• 1:15:48
  that haven't won races and spend whether one day or 17 years,
• 1:15:53
  there's, there's a lot you know, and you know it, it's not easy.
• 1:15:57
  So yeah, you know, win a race. I'll see what happens next
• 1:16:02
  round, see if they get chippy. We'll see.
• 1:16:07
  We'll we'll see man. Look looking.
• 1:16:08
  Forward to. I, I, I can't matter of fact.
• 1:16:11
  Well, let's speak in the next round because it's this weekend.
• 1:16:13
  Let's throw the pics out there before we get out of here, guys,
• 1:16:17
  Where are we? Where are we in on Friday?
• 1:16:18
  I mean on Saturday calendar calendar.
• 1:16:24
  I forgot think of the British show.
• 1:16:27
  No. Cataluja.
• 1:16:29
  Cataluja. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Cataluna.
• 1:16:33
  So, all right, who are we picking?
• 1:16:36
  You need some time, TJ. Yeah, let me get some time on
• 1:16:39
  this one. I'll go for a superior per year,
• 1:16:42
  per year. They put names to it you.
• 1:16:46
  Can't just say. They.
• 1:16:48
  Are good at this track. They are good at this track.
• 1:16:52
  And Agura? Obviously not Raul yet.
• 1:16:56
  Not Raul yet. Sprint or for both?
• 1:16:58
  I'm going with both. This one's going both.
• 1:17:02
  Interesting. I'm already getting out of hand.
• 1:17:04
  I'm getting too cocky. It's starting to flex a little
• 1:17:07
  too much. Oh shit.
• 1:17:10
  I didn't plug in my battery, man.
• 1:17:14
  My battery. I didn't plug in my camera.
• 1:17:18
  See see. Here's what happened when you
• 1:17:19
  start getting too flexing. Right.
• 1:17:22
  Too much. Too much.
• 1:17:24
  The camera said Nah, you flex too much, click.
• 1:17:28
  Listen, that's how I tried to tell my daughter that as soon as
• 1:17:31
  you say, man, I got it. You know what I mean?
• 1:17:35
  For real? Nah, you done.
• 1:17:37
  Like that's it. Listen, I got you still going,
• 1:17:46
  Rex, you. That's just Sprint, race and
• 1:17:47
  race. Sprint, Sprint and main race.
• 1:17:49
  I'm that's it. I'm in done like.
• 1:17:51
  I got Jorge, Bass and shit, who's out there?
• 1:18:04
  I got Al Gore not yet Digia the Sprint and then no, I got Al
• 1:18:11
  Gore in the Sprint and then I got Digi with Jorge and Bass in
• 1:18:17
  the race. PJ.
• 1:18:24
  I must say the sprints, I'll say Jorge, Bazecki and Pedro and
• 1:18:32
  then then the GPI must say Bazecki, say Alex Marquez and
• 1:18:47
  Martine. OK, all right, all right.
• 1:18:51
  The sound of that? I got a European guy, European
• 1:18:57
  guy, European guy and a European guy, European guy, European.
• 1:19:03
  Guy, now we need names. On a European manufacturer.
• 1:19:07
  On a European manufacturer. All right, cheating ass.
• 1:19:11
  I got Martine, Bez and Digi in the Sprint.
• 1:19:17
  That's good. And then I got Bez, Martine and
• 1:19:21
  Acosta in the race. OK, I can see that too.
• 1:19:24
  I think Acosta's coming this time is coming.
• 1:19:26
  So it's just it's interesting that, you know, you see riders
• 1:19:32
  like Acosta Miller, even I guess a Quatarara a little bit who
• 1:19:38
  like they they can't manage to tie you at the end of the race
• 1:19:41
  where you look at, you know, some of the other guys on on
• 1:19:44
  same bikes, they can manage the tie and get quick quicker at the
• 1:19:47
  end of the race. If he figures, if Acosta figures
• 1:19:49
  out how to get some tie life at the end of the race, he'll be a
• 1:19:52
  different rider. I think I think one of his
• 1:19:55
  problems might be the way he sets up his bike.
• 1:19:57
  He sets up his bike for maximum grip at the beginning, but not
• 1:20:01
  for how to handle as the grip drops towards the end.
• 1:20:05
  You know, there's certain guys that set up the bike the other
• 1:20:07
  way around where they'll take moderate grip at the beginning
• 1:20:11
  to have better grip as the tire drops off.
• 1:20:14
  Acosta is one of those guys that likes to start really fast.
• 1:20:18
  But then yeah, like you said, he he doesn't manage the tire very
• 1:20:21
  well, ends up eating them up and towards the end of the race you
• 1:20:23
  start to see him lose pace, lose grip and start going backwards.
• 1:20:27
  Whereas you see other guys, they start out pretty well.
• 1:20:30
  They stay competitive in the top 6 or 7 or if they get out in
• 1:20:34
  front, they'll manage that pace and they won't really be pushing
• 1:20:37
  it too hard through most of the race.
• 1:20:38
  And then they'll wake it up towards the end because they set
• 1:20:41
  their bike up to work a little bit better when the tires drop
• 1:20:43
  off. So it's a it's going to be
• 1:20:46
  interesting, you know how they do this.
• 1:20:49
  The good thing is this particular track, it's pretty
• 1:20:52
  use usually it's pretty good weather.
• 1:20:55
  It's a dry track for the most part.
• 1:20:58
  You know, once in a while you might get it rain there.
• 1:21:00
  But you know, I think it's going to be a good race.
• 1:21:03
  I mean, again, Spanish rounds or let's see what the attendance is
• 1:21:06
  going to be. I think that's that's the bigger
• 1:21:08
  number. Are the Spaniards going to come
• 1:21:09
  out and try to outdo the French? You know it.
• 1:21:13
  Come on, you already know that. I think.
• 1:21:14
  I think Lewis might be the new weather man though.
• 1:21:16
  Calling wrong weather patterns? Nah.
• 1:21:18
  Man, I'm that's, that's, that's the, that's the French, man
• 1:21:27
  French, we always. See right now, man, what?
• 1:21:32
  So. Oh God.
• 1:21:35
  All right, so you'll be, you'll be me.
• 1:21:38
  You and Reese will be at Motor America this Friday, Saturday.
• 1:21:42
  Yeah, this Friday, Saturday, man, let's top it up and have
• 1:21:45
  some good, have some fun. Let's chop it up.
• 1:21:47
  Let's let's eat some Mission chips and get some pictures of
• 1:21:50
  us eating Mission ship together so Mission knows that we we
• 1:21:53
  support them all. Right, I'll, I'll take the
• 1:21:56
  photos while you eat mission chips.
• 1:21:58
  And but you know, I do support them.
• 1:22:01
  I just don't eat chips like that.
• 1:22:04
  But. We're going to have some fun for
• 1:22:06
  sure. We got Moto America, Moto GP and
• 1:22:11
  we're a super bike this weekend. Yeah, we do, man, Me too.
• 1:22:16
  Well, we don't. We don't even need to bet who's
• 1:22:18
  going to win World Super Bike so.
• 1:22:20
  No, I'm not even betting that. And I'm like, I'm wasting my
• 1:22:23
  money. I'm on, Ika.
• 1:22:24
  Come on, man. I'm on.
• 1:22:25
  Ika, Ika, Ika. I'm on the underdog.
• 1:22:27
  He's on. He's on, he's on.
• 1:22:30
  He needs a. He needs a steal.
• 1:22:32
  One, he's not going to do it, man.
• 1:22:34
  If if he wins one, he's going to win more.
• 1:22:37
  I need this to just get that one.
• 1:22:39
  No, I think if he wins 1, you know, it breaks, it breaks that
• 1:22:42
  seal and and it makes the second one's always easier than the
• 1:22:45
  first. The first has a lot of pressure
• 1:22:47
  to it, but as long as Bouliger can keep the tire, you know,
• 1:22:52
  rubber side down, man, he's just going to be so hard.
• 1:22:55
  Like I honestly think, man, I think he's trying to set like a
• 1:22:57
  new consecutive St. record of like 20.
• 1:23:01
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's he's, he's.
• 1:23:03
  He's trying to even stand. Yeah, he he's going to try to
• 1:23:06
  sign everybody for the season if he can, which is exciting, but
• 1:23:09
  we'll find out this weekend. Well, I want to thank you guys
• 1:23:12
