  know, let me bring the fellas in there and we're going to get
• 2:30
  this thing going tonight. My name is Rex 45.
• 2:34
  First on the mic tonight like it's the open mic is Jordan man.
• 2:38
  Welcome to the show. Jordan.
• 2:39
  How you doing tonight, man? Not.
• 2:41
  Too bad. How you doing, gentlemen?
• 2:42
  How you doing? Pretty good, man.
• 2:45
  Can't complain, man. I mean, you know, you're up in,
• 2:47
  up that way north or you're actually you're a Celtics fan.
• 2:50
  I don't know they're in the playoffs, you know how you
• 2:55
  feeling about up that way? You know, anything Celtics,
• 2:59
  anything green, anything, anytime we're winning, you know,
• 3:01
  it's a good time. Yeah.
• 3:03
  New England tends to be on the on the windows side.
• 3:07
  So anytime the winning, yeah, I'm right there with them.
• 3:10
  OK, OK, that's what's up. That's what's up, man.
• 3:13
  Excited man. And I saw you, you, you brought
• 3:15
  the R1 out the other day, so must be nice to be able to go.
• 3:21
  Finally, finally, we had our first 70° day.
• 3:24
  So it was a must. And then after that first day, I
• 3:28
  realized, OK, let's start thinking about the season.
• 3:31
  So I, I, you know, ordered a double set of some super Corsa
• 3:35
  ties for the for the R1M and also the O8R1.
• 3:41
  I forgot to tell you in our last conversation that she's back,
• 3:45
  She's alive, built it back from the crank up.
• 3:48
  And that's going to be the new the track weapon.
• 3:51
  So I bought 2 sets of the same exact tires.
• 3:55
  So now the train and bike and the road bike will both have the
• 3:58
  same exact feel. So yeah, I got to do it right.
• 4:02
  Man, you know, I, you know, if I was you, I'd put the 23 on the
• 4:07
  track, you know? I'm in.
• 4:18
  I'm in a similar position because I, I got, I got my 2010,
• 4:22
  1198 S and so I, I, I, I feel you there, man.
• 4:26
  We're going to keep this thing moving.
• 4:29
  How are you, man? Welcome to the show, man.
• 4:30
  How you doing tonight? For the first time.
• 4:38
  Exactly, this is going to be your first time because this is
• 4:40
  going to be here for. Back again for the first time.
• 4:44
  Yeah, it's your friend. Let me please your second, first
• 4:47
  time. What's good man?
• 4:53
  How's the weather in Texas? How you feeling about Motor
• 4:56
  America? Battle feeling good, bad.
• 4:59
  The weather is perfect man. It's just starting to clear up.
• 5:01
  We had a little scared thinking it was going to be 10 days of
• 5:04
  rain but now it's showing now. Texas weather man so bipolar.
• 5:10
  I kind of, I hear you. It's kind of the same over here
• 5:13
  on the I guess the east of you for sure, man, I I know you got
• 5:19
  to be excited that it's just there's no snow so you don't see
• 5:21
  snow. So you don't you don't have to.
• 5:23
  Oh. Absolutely no snow, man.
• 5:24
  I can't do the snow anymore. I'm too old for that man.
• 5:26
  These old bones don't like snow. I.
• 5:29
  Don't think any old bones like snow.
• 5:31
  We just stub in and stay up north, man.
• 5:36
  We're going to keep it moving. Tyson there.
• 5:39
  Welcome to the show, man. How you doing?
• 5:40
  You're up north as well. You're, you're, you're in Maine,
• 5:44
  right? So is it you're in Maine, New
• 5:45
  Hampshire? I'm in Maine, yeah, I'm right on
• 5:48
  the border, so. Right on the border, so, but in
• 5:50
  Maine, you fall inside the New England camp.
• 5:52
  So you're, you're feeling good about, you know, you got your
• 5:55
  green, you're painting everything green.
• 5:57
  I mean I am a a Boston fan of all sports.
• 6:01
  I I did not a huge basketball fan, but definitely love the
• 6:05
  Bruins and they're in the playoffs too, which is.
• 6:06
  Good. So that's true.
• 6:08
  Always a good year when the Boston teams are in the
• 6:10
  playoffs, and the last couple decades that's every year.
• 6:13
  Right. It it almost feels like like as
• 6:15
  as as as a sport hockey, like the playoffs should be like dead
• 6:18
  or winter, not like summer. Yeah, it is kind of strange, but
• 6:23
  it's also like right as spring's turning into summer, so it is
• 6:27
  kind of nice. But yeah, like when I played
• 6:31
  recreational and like in high school and stuff like that, like
• 6:34
  our playoffs was February, March.
• 6:37
  So it was odd when the NHL has like playoffs in June.
• 6:41
  Yeah, yeah, exactly. And and you know, we're getting
• 6:43
  parade in in July. Yeah, At least it's not the
• 6:47
  paths and you're going in the middle of February.
• 6:49
  It's it's hard no for me. Stay inside?
• 6:55
  Nope. Yeah, that way you have to stay
• 6:57
  inside and and burn wood for sure still.
• 7:01
  Absolutely. You know, I will say, Speaking
• 7:04
  of, you know, one of one of the cool things I and I, I don't see
• 7:08
  it that much down this side is riding the bike in like autumn
• 7:14
  or the fall when you know, homes of, you know, people heating
• 7:17
  their homes with firewood and you can smell that on the street
• 7:20
  as you're riding by and stuff like that.
• 7:22
  To me, that's like one of like, like it's such a cool thing to
• 7:25
  just be riding through that. It's just you can smell all the
• 7:27
  different wood and, and you know, if you're into smoke.
• 7:34
  It is a satisfying smell though, you know, smell like a fire.
• 7:37
  It's like going up to like the lake or going up to camp or
• 7:39
  whatever like that. And you, you smell everyone's
• 7:41
  like fires that are going. It's like nice.
• 7:43
  This is a, you know, familiar feeling.
• 7:45
  Familiar smell. Yeah, for sure for.
• 7:47
  Sure, so I do miss riding up that way.
• 7:50
  But Speaking of riding guys, let's talk about motor America a
• 7:54
  little bit. We'll get a a kind of round of
• 7:56
  horn of what you guys thought of the weekend and in in in your
• 8:01
  own words and stuff like that. No one is forcing you to say
• 8:04
  what you're saying kind of thing.
• 8:07
  We'll we'll start with Jordan, man.
• 8:08
  What are your thoughts for the weekend?
• 8:10
  You know, between the all the classes, but super sports, super
• 8:13
  bike, it was very interesting. It was it was like to me, it was
• 8:20
  a lot better. It's a good first round.
• 8:23
  I mean, it's a second round because Daytona is the first
• 8:26
  round, but for super bike is is the second round.
• 8:29
  But it was very entertaining to watch.
• 8:31
  If you're watching super sport, the baggers, if you're watching
• 8:34
  the talent Cup, those guys, if you're watching the twin Cup, if
• 8:37
  you're watching super bike, you know, what are your thoughts,
• 8:39
  Jordan? I think for the for the first
• 8:43
  set of races, for it to be official, I think coming out of
• 8:46
  the gate it looks good, everything looks great and me
• 8:50
  being a Yamaha person, it was a good Yamaha showing.
• 8:55
  I'm surprised I saw Cameron Beaubier on the Ducati.
• 9:00
  I thought he was going to come in and absolutely destroy the
• 9:02
  field. You see what the Ducati is doing
• 9:05
  in World Super Bike and other fields, super sport and other
• 9:09
  they dominate these classes. So naturally coming in I thought
• 9:13
  Cameron Beaubien was going to come in and absolutely just
• 9:16
  clear the field with the with the V4, especially the updated
• 9:21
  version that they have. But it seems that time in the
• 9:25
  seat still still works in the sport and the Yamahas look
• 9:29
  strong. Yeah, they people say it's the
• 9:31
  same exact bike every year, but fine tuning that bike and year
• 9:36
  after year get electronics and really putting it in the area
• 9:40
  where they need to be. Some tracks they're showing they
• 9:43
  can still be strong and fight with the Ducatis, and that's a
• 9:47
  good showing. Definitely a good showing.
• 9:51
  And one more thing I want to say.
• 9:53
  Oh, shout out to Kayla. Oh my God, I I couldn't believe
• 9:59
  how she how she transpired this week.
• 10:05
  She. She blew the doors off
• 10:07
  everything off expectations and I, I'm I was I was a fan before,
• 10:13
  but seeing her put that thing on pole, it's it's great to see
• 10:17
  great for this. Definitely, definitely.
• 10:20
  I was going to say I, I don't know, you know, I had to find
• 10:22
  out how guys, you know, or not guys, but you know, if somebody
• 10:26
  gets 1 manufacturer and and that's what they ride forever
• 10:30
  because yeah, I got 2 KTM's, two Yamahas and two Ducatis that.
• 10:35
  Garage. That garage looks a little full,
• 10:36
  man I. Don't know how you doing because
• 10:44
  you know. What are your thoughts Harry?
• 10:46
  Oh man, on the Motor America weekend, Kayla and and you know
• 10:51
  Ducati and Yamaha, you feel the same way that Jordan feels about
• 10:55
  Yamaha and what they. Yeah, I, I, I just start with
• 10:58
  super sport. I think what is it?
• 11:02
  Josh Hayes? Josh Hayes.
• 11:04
  I think it's, I think it's time for him to go ahead and hang it
• 11:06
  up, man. I think it's time, you know, he
• 11:11
  started off yeah, he started off good.
• 11:15
  He started off good. He was he was impressive, but
• 11:17
  that term as long as he has been riding motorcycles, winning
• 11:21
  championships and Moto America AMA to make a mistake like that
• 11:27
  with a like a seasoned veteran. And I that when I watched it, I
• 11:31
  said, but I think it's time for him to go ahead and, you know,
• 11:34
  hang it up and start his own like riding community thing and
• 11:38
  start doing track days because, you know, he's an older
• 11:40
  gentleman and you know, you, you can't take too many of those
• 11:43
  falls when something critically happened and.
• 11:47
  Listen, man, that's one of the, you know, I my dad drove until
• 11:52
  he was close to 90. It's hard to take the kings out
• 11:56
  of their hands. Yeah, I, I, I thought, and also,
• 12:03
  you know, I was impressed of Josh Harris recovery to get to
• 12:09
  get points. You know, like after his mishap
• 12:12
  of how he went into the, you know, he went and like, I want
• 12:16
  the gravel trap and he was able to recoup and get points.
• 12:19
  But, you know, I like Kayla, but I think it's time for her to
• 12:24
  win. I, you know, I'm a big supporter
• 12:26
  behind her, but I think now is her time to win.
• 12:30
  And I think Herron needs to mentor her to get that grit in
• 12:34
  her to push it to the limit to like rub shoulders, rub, rub
• 12:39
  elbows with the pack because she's she's fast enough.
• 12:43
  And sometimes I think she kind of.
• 12:45
  So you're saying is she should leave PJ tutelage and and go
• 12:50
  over to Heron to be to be more Yeah, I.
• 12:55
  Think Ben Speeds. I think Ben Speeds need to be
• 12:58
  more hands on her because to me, watching and being the like kind
• 13:03
  of a historian behind motorcycle race and especially of the
• 13:06
  American riders, Ben Speeds probably has the best motorcycle
• 13:12
  riding. You know, the best rider I've
• 13:16
  ever seen, probably out of America is probably being speeds
• 13:19
  For me, just from watching him from AMA to going all the way to
• 13:22
  Moto GPI think he needs to be more hands on with her to give
• 13:26
  her that push to that grit that she needs to win because you
• 13:30
  know, we can support her all day.
• 13:32
  And but if she doesn't get the dubs, then it's I'm not saying
• 13:36
  it's I I just think she needs to win and I think it's now.
• 13:39
  I mean, like after her, you know, debut of being on the
• 13:43
  first woman on podium at at the 200 at Daytona, I think it's
• 13:46
  time for her to win. And I think like she needs to,
• 13:49
  you know, she wants to be the star like, you know, like we, we
• 13:52
  want her to be. It's time for her to like put,
• 13:56
  put the put the tires to the ground and win.
• 14:00
  I mean, she's not the first woman to get on the podium at
• 14:02
  Daytona and but she's she's been the first in a long time.
• 14:07
  Oh, absolutely, yeah. Yeah, and if not, the numbers
• 14:11
  guys going to yell at us? But hey, and and super bike,
• 14:18
  super bike, I think, I think this year Bobby Farms is going
• 14:22
  to pull it off. I don't I don't think I think
• 14:26
  Bobby Farms is going to pull it off.
• 14:27
  Is there something about regardless of what, and I
• 14:31
  respect what Jordan said, but Cameron Bouvier is a champion
• 14:34
  man. He's he, he's he's won on the
• 14:37
  BMW. He's won when he was with
• 14:39
  Yamaha. And you know, I don't want to
• 14:42
  give him an excuse because Joshua, Josh here was on the
• 14:45
  same motorcycle last year. And I mean, he should have been.
• 14:49
  He had enough time. New bike, new bike.
• 14:52
  So from my understanding the team just got the bike like 3
• 14:57
  weeks ago, the new V4R so they haven't had the same amount of
• 15:02
  time to test that Yamaha who's. I mean, the bike is pretty much
• 15:07
  the same bike. I can't give no excuse, man,
• 15:09
  They professionals. It's not I can't give.
• 15:11
  Excuse they professionals. Yeah.
• 15:13
  No, it's not. It's not an excuse, but I think
• 15:16
  that, you know, it's also in theory the first round.
• 15:20
  So let's see what round 4 looks like, right?
• 15:22
  Because, yeah, they, they, they are, they are professionals.
• 15:25
  So it's not like me who took takes 2 years to get up to speed
• 15:28
  on a bike. Yeah, they got to do a little
• 15:33
  bit sooner. So we're not, we're not going to
• 15:36
  let that happen. But Tyson, man, let's, let's,
• 15:37
  let's see your thoughts of the weekend.
• 15:40
  You know, you feel the same way that these guys feel about
• 15:42
  Yamaha, about Kayla. I, I, I do think that, you know,
• 15:47
  she got on pole position. So I, I, I, I don't, you know, I
• 15:52
  don't know what it was for her why she couldn't fight.
• 15:55
  I mean, she fought because she finished, you know, top four,
• 15:57
  top four, I think top four both times.
• 16:00
  So she's right there. Does she need the, the, the dog
• 16:05
  in her like, like, like, you know, like I Harry Olson, she
• 16:10
  she got, she got to fight a little bit more and and get
• 16:12
  elbows out and, and get that grit going.
• 16:15
  She's 18. I mean, that's other thing of
• 16:16
  it. My my daughter is 15, she
• 16:20
  competes in tennis and, and you know, I told the other day you
• 16:24
  got to be a killer take to a person so.
• 16:28
  That's if that's if that's what you want, you know, some people
• 16:32
  just want to go out and have some fun and you know, some
• 16:34
  they're just very talented to take it other places.
• 16:37
  But you know, to other people like, you know, Marquez or Tom
• 16:40
  Brady, like they just have that inner drive of like they need to
• 16:44
  win everything. And like, that's why they're
• 16:47
  like the greatest, you know, but.
• 16:49
  But she's on record. She, she's on record that she,
• 16:52
  she wants to, she wants to be #1 so she's on record saying she
• 16:56
  wants, she wants it. And.
• 16:57
  I mean, if you're racing and you don't want to be number one, you
• 17:00
  probably shouldn't be racing. Correct.
• 17:05
  So, yeah, man. So I think she wants it.
• 17:06
  But yeah, what are you? What are your thoughts on that?
• 17:08
  And then just the weekend. Yeah, I I actually didn't end up
• 17:11
  catching the races this weekend, unfortunately.
• 17:13
  I do need to watch Moto America because I'm the kind of person
• 17:16
  that's like, we need, we need more American racing and racers
• 17:19
  and then here I am not watching the races.
• 17:23
  No, no. I mean, yeah, I mean, you know,
• 17:25
  that that's it. It's, it's a lot of, I mean,
• 17:28
  this world super bike happened in the same weekend and stuff
• 17:30
  like that. So it, it is tough.
• 17:33
  But I mean, you know, we from the results we saw, you know,
• 17:37
  Yamaha 1 and 2 Yamaha both days, right on Strats on Saturday and
• 17:43
  and attack on Sunday. Sean Dylan Kelly on the BMW, He
• 17:48
  he was able to get it on a podium.
• 17:51
  You know, we, we, we saw that Beaubiet struggled on the, on
• 17:57
  the, on the Ducati and stuff like that.
• 17:59
  So you know what, what are your thoughts on on just, you know,
• 18:02
  just the manufacturers and just where they are?
• 18:05
  I mean, it's kind of surprising that Ducat I wouldn't seems to
• 18:08
  struggle in the US Like, you know, for the last couple of
• 18:11
  years Ducati's been, you know, pretty much winning the
• 18:14
  championships in Moto America and world Super Bike and Moto
• 18:16
  GP. But it seems like to less of a
• 18:19
  gap than World Super bike or Moto GP.
• 18:22
  Like they're winning by huge gaps in there and they're I feel
• 18:25
  like almost just squeaking by in in Moto America.
• 18:28
  So it is kind of surprising. Is it just we have vastly
• 18:31
  different tracks than than Europe and the rest of the
• 18:33
  world? Like are they just tighter where
• 18:35
  they can? Like they just don't really have
• 18:36
  that same advantage on a wide open like European track.
• 18:40
  I'm not sure, but it is odd. Yeah, I, I would say off the
• 18:43
  back bat Royal Super bike got 6 Ducatis here.
• 18:48
  You know, Warhorse got 1. Ray Hall has one, right, I
• 18:54
  think, yeah, they have one right with, with PJ.
• 18:56
  So I, I think that's the issue, one of the issues, you need a
• 18:59
  few where you know there's a, there's at least 4 Yamahas, 6
• 19:02
  Yamahas on the grid, a lot more data.
• 19:04
  For each track, probably from them too.
• 19:06
  Exactly. It's just because Ducati is so
• 19:08
  expensive and teams don't want to like race a Ducati because
• 19:12
  it's added expense. Well, I mean, you know, there's
• 19:15
  that and we just need more, you know, people to finance the
• 19:19
  racing community. So that way, you know, it'll be
• 19:23
  more, it'll be more bikes on the grid because that's the biggest
• 19:27
  issue I think is, is the cost of, of, of getting bikes on the
• 19:31
  grid here. And, and, and, but I think that
• 19:34
  will change. So, but yeah, it, it, it makes
• 19:36
  it very difficult. And if these guys didn't get the
• 19:38
  bikes in, in the, in the cause again, we see what the V4R is
• 19:43
  doing over in world super bike as as we're about to move to.
• 19:46
  So I think the US, you know, they for the last few years
• 19:51
  they've been competitive and, and, and has won because Heron
• 19:54
  won the year before. And you know, I stepped away
• 19:57
  from him yesterday, last year and, and stuff like that.
• 20:00
  Or maybe the bike wasn't there, but it was a leftover bike
• 20:03
  because of the, the, the new V4R wasn't out and, and where the
• 20:07
  BMW and, and the Yamaha seem to do a lot better.
• 20:09
  But you know, we shall see. But let's, let's, you know,
• 20:12
  we'll, we'll, oh, we got to talk about Dan, Brenda and, and, and,
• 20:16
  and what he was able to do. You talk about, you know, Kayla.
• 20:21
  Before we move on to World super bike, but you know, fair
• 20:24
  impressive of, of a of a guy to come over or person to come over
• 20:28
  and learn the track, as we say, has to learn it fast.
• 20:31
  But here's a track where this guy won race on Saturday and
• 20:35
  finished #2 on Sunday. Only person that was able to
• 20:37
  beat him was the was as as the Jamaicans like to say the whole,
• 20:41
  the whole bet that run. You know, Jose Herron was the
• 20:44
  guy that was was able to say, hey, not today.
• 20:48
  Well, you guys starts and we start with Jordan first on what
• 20:51
  you know Bender was able to is able to do and coming over to
• 20:54
  the US and all these tracks are going to be new to him.
• 20:57
  Oh, it was definitely good to see.
• 20:59
  I followed him even when he went up to, you know, had his little
• 21:03
  small showing in Moto. Gpi will say at the time I
• 21:07
  didn't think he should have been been in the position, but it's
• 21:13
  good to see him go to another class and start to be
• 21:16
  successful. Whenever a racer can go to World
• 21:19
  Super Bike or It Be Moto America and then find their place, find
• 21:23
  the right team and then find the backing that works for them, the
• 21:26
  right situation. It's very good to see and it's
• 21:29
  very early and it's good to see because he might be able to
• 21:33
  bring it to Heron. A lot of people are, you know,
• 21:36
  thinking that it's Heron's championship to lose, which I am
• 21:40
  also the of that belief as well. It's nobody's else's
• 21:46
  championship other than Herron's that he should come out on top.
• 21:50
  Does it put a little bit of pressure?
• 21:52
  Potentially. But at the same time, Josh
• 21:54
  Herron's been doing this for quite some time.
• 21:57
  But it is good to see somebody else right out of the gate on
• 22:01
  another Ducati being able to challenge Herron and I think it
• 22:05
  bodes well for a good season. Right now, is it Herron to lose
• 22:10
  because he's the better rider or he just knows the track better
• 22:13
  than Darren Bender? I will say he knows the American
• 22:18
  tracks a lot, a lot a lot better than than the latter.
• 22:23
  So it's only a matter of time. That's why I think it's going to
• 22:26
  tighten up mid season. But then again, there will be
• 22:28
  some tracks that Heron gets to that Darren, that Bender doesn't
• 22:33
  know the insurance or the outs, the small intricacies where
• 22:36
  Heron will start to walk away. But there, you know, there's
• 22:40
  probably going to be times where that learning curve is going to
• 22:43
  come. The boy can ride and the boys
• 22:45
  are going to also find some tracks that bowed the ball for
• 22:48
  him. So hopefully, like I'm saying,
• 22:50
  I'm hoping he can keep hearing honest and keep it as a pretty
• 22:53
  good spectacle. Right, right.
• 22:57
  Cario, man, I mean, I, I think, you know, Caleb might need to
• 23:00
  hang out with Benda because Benda wasn't afraid to push back
• 23:03
  in them racing. He's not giving up.
• 23:08
  Yeah, I was impressed by Bender and and you know, I totally
• 23:11
  agree with Tyson about how he said his hair is the hair is the
• 23:15
  lose, but I just don't want him to be a outright, you know, like
• 23:20
  he he's just don't have anybody to fight with like in super
• 23:23
  sport. And I think they have some good
• 23:25
  riders in super sport. And I was impressed by Bender
• 23:27
  like and especially like that that one time they were in like
• 23:31
  in the in the like they it was like a pack of four and they
• 23:34
  were like cutting each other off going back and forth.
• 23:36
  Man, it was intense. And I was just like, hey, look,
• 23:39
  my super sport is super sport was intense this past weekend
• 23:42
  and I was, and I'm a fan of it. And you know, I'm a fan of both,
• 23:46
  both all the classes pretty much.
• 23:47
  But you know, we, my main focus was on super bike and super
• 23:50
  sport. But yeah, I was impressed by
• 23:52
  being there. And I'm looking forward for
• 23:54
  whatever he's going to do in Birmingham.
• 23:55
  I I might try to make it to Birmingham to come see what he's
• 23:58
  going to do. OK, that's what's up, man.
• 24:01
  I'll see. I'll see you there.
• 24:03
  You know, Tyson, your thoughts made on vendor.
• 24:05
  You know, like Jordan said, you know, he had he he he spent one
• 24:11
  year in in in Moto GP. That's a long year, man.
• 24:15
  The year never gets shorter. Little little time in Moto GPI
• 24:19
  mean that's you know, that's some rounds.
• 24:21
  But you know, I I wish he had more time and I'll say this like
• 24:24
  because of his size, he Moto GP made sense.
• 24:29
  I think that I think if he had more time, who knows, right?
• 24:32
  And you know, we can talk about some of the Moto 2 rides he had
• 24:36
  because if he, if he was able to get on like a the KTM team, the
• 24:42
  Akiowa team, it might have been different for Bende Moto 2 when
• 24:46
  he went there. But you know, when you jump up a
• 24:48
  class and have to go back a class like he did, the only
• 24:51
  person that one of the only person was like Jack Miller,
• 24:55
  right? He went from Moto 3 to Moto GP
• 24:57
  and he had a good career. And I mean, but he was on that
• 24:59
  Honda for a long time, a while that he had to earn his stripes.
• 25:03
  But you know what your thoughts Tyson on on Bender and and and
• 25:07
  where he's at? And do you agree that, you know,
• 25:11
  it's just because he's new why he struggled a little bit and
• 25:13
  not get the two wins versus the 1st place, second place?
• 25:19
  I think it's pretty impressive for him to come over from, you
• 25:21
  know, mostly European world riding and then, you know, place
• 25:24
  1st and 2nd in his first two races here.
• 25:28
  I know Petrucci in his first year, he didn't win the
• 25:31
  championship and he not necessarily like struggled hard,
• 25:34
  but like he was not doing the performances that people
• 25:36
  expected, like when he came over like people were expecting.
• 25:39
  Him to just walk away, but he finished #2 in a championship,
• 25:42
  so. He finished number, but I
• 25:43
  remember when hearing like people with just like, oh, it's
• 25:45
  his championship this year and he's gonna win and he didn't.
• 25:50
  But Jay Gonyea was on a different.
• 25:52
  He was on a different level. Yeah, he was riding very well,
• 25:55
  like, like that. Jay Gon, everybody, he was, he
• 25:57
  was in front of everybody by a few seconds.
• 26:00
  Yeah, that's why like Herons, as Jordan said, like it's I believe
• 26:04
  it's Herons championship to lose at that point.
• 26:06
  I mean, he's, you know, the vet, he's got a couple championships
• 26:09
  under his belt. Like he knows all these tracks.
• 26:11
  Like to have some just kid walk away in from Europe and try to
• 26:14
  like take that from him. Like, I feel like that would
• 26:17
  definitely be like a, I don't know, inspiration or whatever
• 26:21
  you need to be like, like I'm gonna win this championship and
• 26:24
  just to show like the Europeans kind.
• 26:26
  Of thing. But well, he's not European,
• 26:28
  he's South African, correct. But you know, the same thing.
• 26:36
  But yeah, so I definitely think it's impressive to to win those.
• 26:40
  But we'll definitely see as the these next rounds come out and,
• 26:43
  and and go from there, you know? Yeah, I think so.
• 26:47
  I think the I think, I think VIR might be tricky for Bender,
• 26:53
  right. I think that's a track that you
• 26:55
  kind of it's narrow and you you really have to know it where
• 26:59
  like I think Barbara is similar to me to to Rd.
• 27:04
  Atlanta and I think, you know, like Rd.
• 27:08
  America, I think these are tracks that he'll do well.
• 27:10
  And I think he's been to Austin and Coda.
• 27:13
  So Coda is a track that you know, he'll he'll do well in.
• 27:18
  I think like the mid Ohio's and the and the Virginia and Jersey.
• 27:22
  I, I mean, Jersey's a similar track to, to, to so I think like
• 27:25
  he'll, I think Bendy would do well in Jersey as well, but I
• 27:29
  think it's higher tracks maybe. But you know, your, your
• 27:32
  brother's in Moto GP, man. I mean, I, I, I, I can't
• 27:34
  imagine, you know, you know, finishing second is not a
• 27:39
  struggle, But let's move over to world super bike.
• 27:42
  World super bike happened this past weekend as well.
• 27:47
  It happened to Aston, one of my favorite tracks.
• 27:51
  You know, the BMWs, they, they don't have top rock, they
• 27:56
  haven't fall back to the levels of of before top rock.
• 28:00
  I think 'cause you know, you got aloe Vera that was on the podium
• 28:04
  in Puerto Mayo and in Portugal. And you know, I think Petrucci,
• 28:10
  you know, he had issues on, on, on Saturday.
• 28:13
  He, they said he jumped to start.
• 28:14
  He says he's never jumped to start in 20 plus years or
• 28:17
  whatever. And but the, but he was running
• 28:20
  the BMW, which I think he needed to.
• 28:23
  What do you guys start some world super bike where some of
• 28:27
  these writers are? I know there's there's a
• 28:28
  consensus of folks that think that Bulaga is going to run away
• 28:32
  with it. I think Eka is sitting here
• 28:34
  saying, bro, by the fourth round, fourth round, I'm I'm
• 28:38
  going to win one. I think that's what Bulaga,
• 28:40
  that's what I think. That's what Eka is saying.
• 28:41
  Because if I'm Eka, that's what I'll be saying.
• 28:47
  Oh yeah, you know, I agree 100%. I said before it's it's Bulgas
• 28:53
  to lose. He is he's just on form and he
• 28:56
  did the sea time that he's had on the Ducati and with that team
• 29:00
  specifically is is just that they're they're they're a well
• 29:04
  formulated machine. Now the let me tell you, he here
• 29:08
  Lackawono, he is coming. He is coming slowly but surely.
• 29:13
  He's going to be on his coattails.
• 29:15
  It's just going to be can he push him, can you sustain the
• 29:19
  fight and then bring it to him because he is showing he has
• 29:24
  form. He's getting to know the bike.
• 29:26
  The more that he knows the bike and feels comfortable, he's
• 29:28
  going to start pushing a little bit more on entry, on exit and
• 29:33
  then hopefully we can see a top rack ish kind of fight towards
• 29:38
  the middle to end of the season. That's what I would like to see
• 29:42
  is, yeah, it's good. You're finished in second,
• 29:45
  You're not too far off in qualifying, you're not too far
• 29:50
  off. I'd like to see him make a
• 29:51
  little bit of a step. Naturally that's going to come
• 29:54
  with time. But by mid season that by
• 29:57
  midpoint, I want to see Iker say, you know what, I I'm
• 30:01
  sending it up the inside of you from turn 1 and on.
• 30:05
  And hey, if we if if everything goes, it goes.
• 30:10
  I I just want to see him come into his own and hopefully makes
• 30:13
  the season. But the bull goes just on form
• 30:16
  and yeah, the the BMWs look good.
• 30:19
  I thought let me see Miguel Oliveira.
• 30:22
  I thought he was going to do a little bit better coming off his
• 30:25
  very strong weekend. Yes, it's your home track.
• 30:28
  I thought it was going to be a little bit stronger.
• 30:29
  Petrucci looked like he was going to do a good race.
• 30:33
  I had a few pretty, pretty large mistakes that ruined his
• 30:37
  weekend. But another thing I wanted to
• 30:40
  say on Petrucci, he is a bigger individual.
• 30:43
  So yeah, he's tall, He's taller, weighs more than probably any
• 30:47
  other rider to. So always remember setting up a
• 30:50
  motorcycle to to go fast around these circuits.
• 30:54
  He's going to have a very unique setup that's going to be unique
• 30:58
  versus a lot of these other riders.
• 31:00
  And I think certain teams, it's kind of like almost situation
• 31:05
  where they have a Bautista where he's he's too light and they do
• 31:10
  all the funny things with the bike.
• 31:12
  Now. It's kind of the same thing with
• 31:14
  Petrucci. Yeah, he's he's on the BMW.
• 31:17
  It's a good package, but I feel he's just a very specific rider
• 31:22
  that will take a a very specific set up and that will differ
• 31:26
  track to track and everything. So that's I think the difficult
• 31:31
  thing for BMW. But as far as everything else, I
• 31:34
  think Ducati is just going to walk away with it.
• 31:37
  Right, right. You know, Harry, what are your
• 31:39
  thoughts on ICA? Because I feel like he's he
• 31:43
  hasn't crashed really this year so far in third round.
• 31:46
  We're in a Honda. Anytime he pushed, he was
• 31:48
  crashing. He doesn't look like he's
• 31:50
  overriding a bike. He's almost like a cat playing
• 31:54
  with a mouse with Bulgar. It's like you're up there, but I
• 31:57
  ain't really like rise up yet. My hairs on my back hasn't stood
• 32:01
  up yet. It's just I'm just learning a
• 32:04
  tire, managing a situation. Yeah, you got that second and a
• 32:07
  half in front of me, but you got three years on the bike.
• 32:10
  I got, I got three weeks on the bike, you know what I'm saying?
• 32:12
  What what are your thoughts on, on, on what Jordan has said?
• 32:16
  And I, I feel Ika has a chance because in Moto 2 he was sunning
• 32:21
  all these guys. Yeah.
• 32:25
  I think I I think it's, it's it's a little early, but I do
• 32:28
  think like it's it's bullying it man, This is it's his time, like
• 32:32
  he's been he's been huh. I.
• 32:35
  Said OK, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm hearing you.
• 32:38
  Yeah, Yeah. You know, he's been, you know,
• 32:40
  battling with Top Rank these past couple years and he, he, he
• 32:43
  wants it. He wants it and, you know, like
• 32:47
  the BMW is a good package. And like Tyson said earlier
• 32:52
  about the, the, the, the, the BMW crew, right.
• 32:58
  And, you know, I would think that would have like somebody
• 33:01
  would stand out like top Rack there because.
• 33:03
  But you know, Top Rack is just a generation of talent.
• 33:05
  But I would think they would be like like challenge it more.
• 33:09
  But I mean, it's still early in the season.
• 33:11
  We still got some time to go. But I think the like the fourth
• 33:13
  round, I think is is is going to be a little different.
• 33:17
  OK. And you, you think it's
• 33:19
  different in the sense that BMW will find a good footing or
• 33:24
  like, you know, Sam Lowe's from the, the satellite teams, quote
• 33:29
  UN quote, because, you know, they're not really satellite at
• 33:31
  this point. If they get the money, it's a
• 33:34
  factory bike. The engineers, right, the
• 33:36
  engineers and the R&D man, that's where it's at.
• 33:38
  And I think like by the time, you know, those riders finally
• 33:42
  get the R&D down, it's it's going to be a tough fight.
• 33:45
  It's going to be a tough fight to the end.
• 33:47
  Yeah, I I completely agree because it's a new bike, you
• 33:51
  know, and it and and it's just a few week race.
• 33:54
  We get thoughts Tyson on on our world super bike.
• 34:00
  Yeah, I mean, I think we're all in agreement here.
• 34:02
  It's definitely bogus championship.
• 34:04
  I'm not an agreement. I'm not saying that.
• 34:06
  Rexy, we know you are. Deep down we know you are.
• 34:10
  Your heart of hearts knows the truth.
• 34:11
  You just keep stuffing it down inside you and you don't want to
• 34:14
  let it out. And you just have to be
• 34:16
  comfortable with yourself and admit it that it's bogus
• 34:19
  championship for everybody else to attempt to take it from.
• 34:23
  I mean, like you said, top rack left.
• 34:25
  So now it's his, you know, couldn't beat him.
• 34:28
  But I think it's it'll be interesting.
• 34:31
  I would like to see Ikarlika wanna, you know, take a fight to
• 34:34
  him, especially on a Honda, seeing as a Honda has really not
• 34:37
  had any excess in in racing for the last well, bike racing at
• 34:41
  least for the last 5-10 years ish.
• 34:44
  So it'll be good to see. Is on Ducati now this year
• 34:47
  though. Is Ikarana Ducati is on the
• 34:49
  Honda anymore? Oh wow, yeah, he's Bulldogan's
• 34:52
  teammate. Whiffed on that one well.
• 34:56
  That's why we we, we, we talking about it.
• 34:58
  Well, it's good for him then. And you know that Ducati's nice,
• 35:02
  but it'd be good to see him doing well, especially coming
• 35:04
  out of Moto GP. But I would definitely like to
• 35:06
  see the BMWs be better than not just Top Rack.
• 35:11
  You know, like I like Top Rack. Top Rack's definitely a
• 35:14
  generational talent, but it would be nice to see BMW like
• 35:17
  fighting at the top purely on equipment, right?
• 35:21
  I agree, just Top Rack's ability.
• 35:23
  I agree, it would be good to see Yeah, at least some manufacturer
• 35:26
  to challenge Ducati. Right.
• 35:27
  And, and, and I hope so because I mean that that was for Ducati
• 35:30
  and and Moto GP when Casey Stoner wanted for them.
• 35:35
  So they got a taste. They had to go back to the
• 35:38
  drawing board and really find themselves before they were able
• 35:41
  to win again. But hopefully, I mean, BMW does
• 35:44
  well in Motorsports in general. So I, I didn't know how to win
• 35:49
  and, and, and hopefully the, what top part gave them is
• 35:52
  enough for them to put, I don't want to say the same effort
• 35:57
  because I don't, you know, the Germans might say nobody put
• 36:00
  more effort in than they do. So you know what I'm saying?
• 36:04
  But they, they, they're going to have to get on the same level as
• 36:06
  Ducati. And we see Aprilia doing that in
• 36:09
  Moto GP and, you know, and at the end of the day, it's a
• 36:13
  Volkswagen company. So I guess you know at the end
• 36:15
  it is German. Technically, Ducati is a German
• 36:22
  motorcycle down the Audi. Yeah, that's.
• 36:24
  What I'm saying, that's right, that's what I'm saying.
• 36:26
  And Volkswagen is the parent company, the Audi and, and
• 36:29
  everything below that. So, you know, it's it's
• 36:36
  interesting. So hopefully BMW figures it out.
• 36:40
  And like I said, they got a taste and I think they have the
• 36:43
  right riders. I think, I think Olivier is a
• 36:47
  champion. I think Petrucci, he's a
• 36:49
  journeyman, but also a champion because I think he he can, he
• 36:53
  can, he can fight with the top guys.
• 36:55
  He's one of these people that can, you know, the, the, the
• 36:58
  players that might not have the same skill set of Jordan, but
• 37:01
  they can guard them. They can give him a hard time on
• 37:03
  offense as well. That's what Petrucci is.
• 37:06
  He he's like, you know, I'm not Marquez, but I'm not going to
• 37:09
  let you just get this thing, you know what I mean?
• 37:13
  You know, so, so that, that that's that's the thing about
• 37:17
  that. So let's talk about the Lowe's
• 37:18
  brothers. You know, they've been known to
• 37:21
  crashing a lot this year. They've they've they've been
• 37:26
  doing really well. We see Sam Lowe's on the on the
• 37:29
  Ducati. I mean he finished third this
• 37:32
  past weekend. I, you know, I think where it's
• 37:35
  a new bike and I don't know if the factory teams just got a
• 37:38
  little bit more seasoning than than the satellite teams, but
• 37:43
  but Sam seems to be hey, man, Batista, but Batista got two
• 37:47
  titles. So it would make sense for him
• 37:49
  to find a little bit of extra energy.
• 37:50
  What are your thoughts on on the Lowe's brothers and where
• 37:53
  they're at right now and how they're riding?
• 37:55
  We'll start with Jordan. I think the lack of crashes this
• 38:01
  year just shows how strong that damn Ducati is.
• 38:05
  The electronics package on that bike chassis, everything
• 38:09
  correlated and put into that package with years and years of
• 38:13
  experience and that that team over there just knows how to get
• 38:19
  everything done. Even though it is a new package
• 38:21
  and everything, it seems that they have that bike fully sorted
• 38:25
  kind of out-of-the-box. They have a good base and it
• 38:28
  works and within a wide window kind of out of the gate.
• 38:32
  So the lack of crashes just kind of shows that the bike is great.
• 38:37
  But also, you know, you still have to ride the bike.
• 38:39
  So it's good to see, you know, the brothers come in and not
• 38:42
  crash so much. And you know, it kind of shows
• 38:47
  to other manufacturers that, OK, maybe it's not always on the
• 38:51
  rider because a lot of the times the engineers will always say
• 38:54
  it's definitely you, it's not the bike.
• 38:57
  But then you go to another bike, don't have problems.
• 38:59
  And it's kind of like, and I told you so type situation.
• 39:04
  I do agree with you that the satellite teams seem to just be
• 39:08
  missing a little bit off of what the factory guys.
• 39:12
  But naturally it seems like you know the world super bike
• 39:15
  specifically, you know the factory boys, you know you're
• 39:19
  going to get the top personnel. The top parts are all your R&D
• 39:24
  is coming in at the fastest rate.
• 39:27
  So your satellite teams are still playing catch up in
• 39:30
  lifetime. But it's great to see them out
• 39:33
  of the gate doing, doing good, putting good track, track time
• 39:36
  numbers and hopefully they increase as well.
• 39:40
  And, you know, can also bring a little bit of a fight on, you
• 39:44
  know, maybe a race or two to Bullga and, you know, maybe, you
• 39:48
  know, beat them up a little bit, get the elbows out.
• 39:51
  Right, right. You know Harry, oh, I mean you
• 39:54
  know, Sam loses #3 in the championship he's, he's down
• 39:59
  about 104 points. Points add up.
• 40:03
  Alex is tied with Miguel for 4th place.
• 40:09
  He's 5th place in the championship, but same numbers.
• 40:11
  So really they're tied for fourth place.
• 40:14
  These brothers might be able to if they work together.
• 40:17
  Even though they're on separate manufacturers, they might be
• 40:19
  able to steal one. Yeah, I think so.
• 40:22
  I think so. They had to.
• 40:24
  They have the talent. They've been racing for forever
• 40:26
  and they know the tracks. It's not, you know, and it's
• 40:30
  just can they can they pull it off like, you know, and, and use
• 40:34
  that combination of being brothers and hey, look, man, we
• 40:36
  got to do something. You know, we might not be on the
• 40:39
  best bike and might not have the best backing, but if we can just
• 40:43
  get close to them and attempt to cause some problems with some
• 40:47
  friction to the top guys and everything, I mean, I, I would
• 40:51
  consider this season to be a success.
• 40:53
  But if you can't get up front and you, you, I mean, even
• 40:57
  though they have the points, I mean, 4th and 5th place, that's
• 40:59
  great. But you just got to get up there
• 41:02
  and fight with the big guys, man.
• 41:03
  That, that that's the thing they need to do.
• 41:05
  And I hopefully, hopefully, like I said earlier, man, it's still
• 41:08
  early in the season, so they should be able to pull it off.
• 41:11
  Yeah, no, I I agree it's early and and I'm rooting for brothers
• 41:15
  because, you know, it's rare to see brothers in in it's it's
• 41:21
  rare to see siblings in the same sport at the highest level.
• 41:25
  Usually it's one in the family, you know what I'm saying?
• 41:28
  Or maybe it's two and they and one is older, younger like
• 41:31
  Marquez, like the the Williams sisters, like the Bryan brothers
• 41:35
  and and and well, they were twins in tennis.
• 41:38
  But when you're twins and, and you're both at the highest level
• 41:41
  and, and, and pretty much been dancing around like the top
• 41:45
  spot, you know, I, it's fair to say Sam, Sam when he was a Moto
• 41:49
  2 was one of the top guys for the longest time.
• 41:51
  His brother in world super bike was, was one of the top guys for
• 41:55
  the longest time. So I, I do think that that it,
• 41:58
  you know, it, it would be interesting to see how the
• 42:00
  season played out because the bitmodo also looks good.
• 42:03
  Tyson, what are your thoughts man, on on those two guys, where
• 42:07
  they're at in the championship? Do you think they can steal one?
• 42:09
  Do you think that it's it's going to be more of the same
• 42:14
  Bulaga show? It's just a matter of if Bulaga
• 42:18
  can stay on the bike. They're Sam and Alex are twins.
• 42:22
  Yeah. Man, were they just brothers?
• 42:25
  They're twins. I did not know that.
• 42:28
  That's wild. Twins in the same sport.
• 42:30
  That's pretty crazy. That is pretty cool, though I
• 42:32
  generally do go for. Or go for twins.
• 42:35
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 42:35
  Identical. Yeah, Sam's.
• 42:36
  Doing definitely doing pretty well.
• 42:38
  I know the previous years that I've watched Moto GP, I've tried
• 42:41
  rooting for him, keyword tried because he'll do well the first
• 42:45
  couple races and then just keeps falling down the leaderboard
• 42:49
  after that. So like I want to believe he's
• 42:52
  going to keep up this pace and like you know, and get some wins
• 42:55
  in there, you know, fight for second or first.
• 42:58
  But my experience has let me down here so I don't.
• 43:03
  I don't know, but it would be good to see Sam and Alex, you
• 43:06
  know, sticking out there at the top.
• 43:08
  Also, whoever put Alex and Axel on the same team is an asshole.
• 43:14
  That's ridiculous. OK.
• 43:17
  Let's let's let's elaborate. Well, why?
• 43:19
  Who, who, who, Why 'cause it's it's bad for Axel.
• 43:22
  Or is it bad for Alex? Just just their names.
• 43:26
  Like if anyone has dyslexia like that sucks like I'm sorry for
• 43:29
  you man. Like that is, that's a.
• 43:32
  That's got to be a practical. Joke acts and acts Acts one acts
• 43:36
  2. Alex and Axel like I I.
• 43:39
  Have to like, specifically like, these are their names.
• 43:42
  I need to make sure I say them correctly.
• 43:44
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, I see what you're saying.
• 43:46
  Yeah, yeah. You know, and, and Axel Basani
• 43:49
  is, is, but he was on the Ducati, he, he was more
• 43:53
  consistent. He struggled on the BMWI mean
• 43:56
  BMW on the bit motor. And, and it seems like this year
• 44:00
  is kind of he's better than last year so far, but he's a better
• 44:04
  rider. And, and I, I don't know if he
• 44:06
  just needs to hang out with Alex Moore and see what Alex, you
• 44:10
  know, Alex got the experience and Alex was had was on Kawasaki
• 44:14
  before he jumped on other brands and came back to to the bit
• 44:18
  motor and stuff like that. So he definitely have more
• 44:21
  experience on different manufacturers.
• 44:24
  Let's talk about some of these other writers.
• 44:26
  Let's talk about the Yamaha riders because unlike Motor
• 44:29
  America, you know, the Yamahas are struggling.
• 44:33
  It's nice to see Chavi, who also left Honda and and came over to
• 44:37
  the factory side on Yamaha, do well and be one of the top
• 44:40
  writers. Remy Gardner seems to is
• 44:43
  struggling. He's still within the top 10,
• 44:48
  but I know he's a better writer than than what we're seeing.
• 44:51
  We start you, Jordan, I mean, your Yamaha guy, you're seeing
• 44:55
  this. You bleed blue, but we all bleed
• 44:57
  blue. I will say, other than the
• 44:59
  Ducatis. The next manufacturer was the
• 45:02
  that was the Yamahas. I died.
• 45:04
  I do believe so. So we do have that going for us.
• 45:08
  The the tough thing is it's like the top six or seven are all the
• 45:11
  damaged Ducatis. I will say that.
• 45:16
  Viera Hay. Is probably I I think moving
• 45:19
  into top Yamaha spot moving good and yeah, just Remy Garner just
• 45:25
  seems to keep on struggling on on the bike.
• 45:29
  I I thought he was would come into a little bit more.
• 45:34
  He has a little bit of sea time on the Yamaha, the Yamahas, you
• 45:37
  know, for what it is, it's a well sorted you have data up the
• 45:40
  wazoo. So I was expecting a little bit
• 45:43
  better standings this year, but other than that, it is good to
• 45:49
  see Yamaha, the next manufacturer up kind of there
• 45:53
  next to the Ducatis. It's just the the time in the
• 45:56
  race and how far we're off the the race win is is still a just
• 46:01
  a massive issue, right, right. Well, I mean, you know, I, I.
• 46:04
  I we just talked about Bitmoto, who's in front of the Yamaha's,
• 46:08
  but you know, Yamaha's up there. I don't know if anyone told
• 46:12
  Yamaha that they were the next. Factory up.
• 46:18
  Harry, what are your thoughts been on where Yamaha is and all
• 46:21
  that fun? I don't know what what What is
• 46:22
  your choice of bike actually? Harry up as well.
• 46:25
  What is my choice bike of? Choice.
• 46:27
  Yeah. There you go.
• 46:28
  You said it the right way. I said it.
• 46:29
  I. Would do.
• 46:30
  I would do Katie and Ampriya. Guy, all right, all right, So
• 46:33
  what? What are your thoughts?
• 46:34
  On on, I believe. I like that.
• 46:38
  What are your thoughts on what. Yeah, where Yamaha is and, and,
• 46:40
  and what they're doing and these writers that you know, I like I
• 46:44
  said, I mean, you know, these these guys were killers in Motor
• 46:47
  2 when I think a gardener and he won the Moto 2 title and and
• 46:51
  stuff. And I thought he got a bad shake
• 46:53
  in in Moto GP while he was there.
• 46:55
  I think any rider in Moto GP that gets a one year deal gets a
• 46:58
  bad shake because like, just keep me like if you know, if you
• 47:01
  think you're going to do at the end of the year, just keep me in
• 47:03
  Moto 2 because it's it's you need more than one year to show
• 47:06
  yourself in any anything. But anyway my my thing with.
• 47:12
  Yamaha. You know, like I.
• 47:13
  Own the I own the R1. I had a 2012 R one.
• 47:16
  I love that motorcycle and but I think it's I think Yamaha have
• 47:21
  gotten so comfortable with the with the cross plane and I think
• 47:26
  it has never been updated. And you know, like with the
• 47:30
  technology they're having right now by introducing the V4, the
• 47:33
  Moto GPI, think some of some of that technology needs to be
• 47:36
  passed down to the Super bike. And I think once they do
• 47:40
  something with the engine and update the engine, like I said,
• 47:43
  they've been having the cross plane since Rossi been winning
• 47:46
  championship. And it's just, I think it's just
• 47:49
  time for a big update. And I think once they do, it's
• 47:52
  funny you say that because. The cross plane reminds me of
• 47:57
  some of these cars out here today.
• 47:59
  Like it makes a lot of noise, but it ain't really moving like
• 48:03
  the noise it's making. But.
• 48:06
  It's good in corners though. It's.
• 48:08
  Good in corners, I will say that.
• 48:10
  Yeah, so is the. Very well balanced in the.
• 48:13
  Corners. Yeah, that's the thing in the
• 48:15
  Ducati. So is the what the?
• 48:18
  Prillia and the Ducati. Yeah, absolutely.
• 48:22
  It's a well balanced. Motorcycle most definitely
• 48:28
  that's nothing could be the V4 right now right I mean far as
• 48:32
  Italian made motorcycles I4 and the BMW is OK, but you know that
• 48:37
  cross plane needs some major updates and you know Yamaha has
• 48:42
  done all they all all they could do squeeze everything they could
• 48:45
  squeeze out of it and it's just time for an overhaul right it's
• 48:48
  it's it's safe to say that. The V4 from the Moto GP bike
• 48:54
  will end up in the street production bike.
• 48:57
  So it's coming, Yeah. It's just, it's just a.
• 49:01
  It's just a matter of time. So it will come.
• 49:04
  So I think we will see Yamaha with a handling bike and AV 4.
• 49:08
  And I think once Yamaha Moto GP figures out how to get the power
• 49:14
  to keep the keep the rubber from spinning up or the rim from
• 49:17
  spinning up, that V4 is gone. They has the power because the
• 49:20
  tires spinning up and they just can't keep it on the on the
• 49:23
  ground. So, you know, once they figure
• 49:25
  that out, it's going to be like the Ducati and Aprilia, right?
• 49:31
  Yeah. So I think it's a matter of
• 49:32
  time. But I, I I.
• 49:32
  Feel you Tyson, your BMW guy, you're going to be the the
• 49:37
  elephant in the room in a few years in the inline 4 and I
• 49:42
  don't know I don't know if you can race a boxer I mean to be
• 49:48
  fair I'm. Really like a Honda Ducati guy,
• 49:51
  but I just like the BM WS product better.
• 49:53
  I'm not really. I'm not really so like married
• 49:57
  to anyone manufacturer, but I was going to you guys were
• 50:01
  talking, you were talking with Hario and I was going to say my
• 50:04
  conspiracy theory is that Yamaha is going to use the Moto GP bike
• 50:08
  to develop their V4 so that they can put all of their R&D money
• 50:12
  into an R&D sport. And that way none of their R&D
• 50:17
  money has to go on to the books of Yamaha motorcycle
• 50:20
  manufacturing with the development of AV4 for their
• 50:23
  road bike. So that's my like, sneaky
• 50:25
  suspicion as to what they're actually they're gonna do is
• 50:27
  they're gonna develop this V4, they're gonna get it sound on
• 50:29
  Moto GP, then they're gonna throw it over to a track bike.
• 50:32
  Well, the R1 chassis or whatever.
• 50:35
  My guess is they would get rid of the R1 completely as an
• 50:37
  inline 4. It would be AV 4.
• 50:39
  Like they're not gonna maintain 2 super bikes.
• 50:42
  No, no, no. Two different motors, right?
• 50:44
  Exactly. They're gonna have to make the
• 50:45
  choice. Right, so.
• 50:47
  And and and yeah, the. The V4 will stay in Moto GP, get
• 50:50
  smaller, but it's still gonna be AV 4.
• 50:52
  It'll go into it, it, they'll bore it out like Ducati does,
• 50:56
  you know, like. Ducati does for all of their
• 50:58
  like the V4R is a 1000 but the street bike is a 1200.
• 51:02
  Right, but but where Moto GP is? Going to the the 8:50 in in 27
• 51:08
  and right now it sounds like the 850 is going to be faster than
• 51:12
  the thousands right now. So even though it's the 8:50 it
• 51:17
  weight savings, wait, weight savings.
• 51:19
  I mean, fair enough, sure. So.
• 51:22
  It's from what they're saying and testing them.
• 51:24
  If you believe the numbers that are coming out on in, in in the
• 51:28
  World Wide Web, it sounds like it's it's going to be they're
• 51:32
  going to be doing close to the same time.
• 51:34
  Because it, you know, if you got less horsepower, you have to
• 51:37
  worry about getting traction to the ground and you can get
• 51:40
  smoother power to the ground, then you're not going to, in
• 51:43
  theory, you're not going to waste, you know, some energy
• 51:47
  more efficient with your, with the energy that you're.
• 51:49
  Manufacturing. Exactly.
• 51:51
  Exactly. And I and I5 seconds off.
• 51:54
  That's that's what I hear, yeah. 5 seconds off no. 1.5 to. 2.5
• 52:00
  seconds off minimum the new bikes yeah the.
• 52:06
  Eight 50s. Like minimum, minimum.
• 52:08
  Yeah. I mean, that's kind of what I
• 52:09
  was thinking. Like you just I mean.
• 52:11
  Like. As they say, there's no
• 52:12
  replacement for displacement. I mean, like unless they're
• 52:14
  doing something else to make power, there's no way you're
• 52:16
  going to make more power out of less CCS.
• 52:19
  But they're still, they're still in.
• 52:21
  They're still. In testing phase, this is not
• 52:23
  like a year into this that that two, that 2 point, whatever the
• 52:27
  2 seconds is going to come down. I could see them after a couple.
• 52:31
  Years of development. Being just as fast as they are
• 52:33
  right now, I don't see, I don't see any fastest laps.
• 52:36
  That are currently held being being touched in the next three
• 52:39
  years. There was, there was, there was
• 52:41
  a lap time that was just. Broken the other day set by I
• 52:44
  think Girl Off or somebody that was like a 8 year old record in
• 52:48
  world Atlanta and going for Oh no, I'm not talking Moto GP.
• 52:51
  Wise, no, no, but it would. It would have been, but even.
• 52:53
  Lorenzo in O 8 had record. He held the old record for a
• 52:56
  long time too. Didn't they just beat at CODA?
• 52:59
  Didn't they just? Beat the track record that was
• 53:01
  like 6 or 7 years old. I think it was like a 19 or 18
• 53:05
  track record. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
• 53:07
  Like there's there's records out.
• 53:08
  There that are that like on that, you know, it all depends
• 53:11
  on the rules because I think like when Lorenzo did it, he was
• 53:13
  able to use like some test and tire or something like that or
• 53:15
  whatever the case may be, right? Yeah, all these whatever, right.
• 53:18
  But like, yeah, if in the right circumstances this this, this.
• 53:23
  It's not like every year the the lap record is getting broken in
• 53:27
  GPI Don't know and in. Moto GP the last couple years
• 53:30
  has been I, I believe it's been more consistent than any years
• 53:34
  that I've seen lap records being smashed consistently,
• 53:37
  consistently, consistently. But the records then when?
• 53:41
  If they don't have. Wet weather permitting, if they
• 53:43
  have weather and it's everything a lap record is going to what's
• 53:47
  going to fall the last couple years, which I think is a good
• 53:51
  place for the sport to go where I see it going.
• 53:54
  I don't see a lap record being touched the next three years
• 53:57
  under the new regulations, but but the records, that's my.
• 54:00
  Take right but the. Records they're breaking or
• 54:03
  records. That were like 5-6 years old.
• 54:05
  It wasn't like they broke records from the year before
• 54:07
  track right? That's what I'm.
• 54:09
  Saying like the records. They're breaking now, but there
• 54:12
  were records that were held for a long time, unless it was a new
• 54:14
  track that just got to Moto GP. Those records.
• 54:17
  That's what I'm saying. So it's possible that anything
• 54:22
  is possible. But Kevin Garner, anything is
• 54:23
  possible. So, you know, we'll, we'll,
• 54:25
  we'll, we'll leave it there and, and see, because everybody, I
• 54:29
  want to say something real quick.
• 54:31
  We were talking about. Yamaha developing the V4 and
• 54:35
  possibly going to the R1, but look at Honda.
• 54:39
  Honda's been running AAV 4 forever in Moto GP and the
• 54:43
  Fireblade has never never, you know, talks and nothing about
• 54:48
  them switching for from a inline 4 to AV4 inside the fireplace.
• 54:52
  It's SP or RR nobody and reliable that's why.
• 54:59
  They are. But I would love to see.
• 55:01
  Them, you know, hopefully move to AV4 inside, you know our
• 55:05
  street bikes, but I know a lot of them do it for simplicity.
• 55:09
  Like you have AV 4 that's two banks of cylinders, two
• 55:12
  different sets of timings 2 have to timing chains like that sort
• 55:15
  of deal like so I know a lot of the companies have kept the
• 55:17
  inline 4 just due to simplicity of ownership for their
• 55:22
  customers. Take that with a grain of salt
• 55:25
  or for whatever it's worth. But that is a reason, right?
• 55:29
  And and Honda does have. AV4 so you know, I had, I mean
• 55:33
  they had the VFR, the VFR 25 years ago.
• 55:37
  They had the 1200 that they made-up until.
• 55:40
  Like. 2012 or something like that, No, yeah, 2014 they still
• 55:45
  have 800. I think the 800 they they I
• 55:47
  think 2014 was like the last year.
• 55:50
  So they have the tech, you know what I mean?
• 55:52
  And. And obviously they have.
• 55:54
  It in the GP bike, So I don't know if it's nostalgia of that
• 55:58
  Repsol that they just trying to get every in every dime they can
• 56:03
  out of that area. But they're going to have to
• 56:06
  some, they're going to have to come around because if the
• 56:09
  culture is saying we want to be 4 and it'll last one stand and
• 56:13
  then the last one because we got Suzuki, they're going to have to
• 56:16
  come around and do something. I can't.
• 56:17
  I can't imagine that they don't. Never going to AV four.
• 56:21
  Yeah, yeah. They still sell in the K-7.
• 56:43
  They're. Sustaining bikes just based on
• 56:49
  let's talk about before we get out of here guys, let's talk
• 56:51
  about Moto GP, what you expect to see this weekend.
• 56:54
  We'll go around the horn in your own words, just, you know, what
• 56:58
  are you expecting to see and why?
• 57:00
  We'll start with Jordan, my man Marco over.
• 57:04
  Here, you know, I think he's going to continue in just his
• 57:08
  amazing fashion, amazing form. I think the Marc Marquez is
• 57:14
  going to look to, you know, get back a little bit more, but I
• 57:18
  think he's still struggling with injury.
• 57:22
  At the same time, Digia, I think Digia is on form.
• 57:26
  He looks great. So that the Aprilia's versus the
• 57:30
  Ducatis, obviously the Yamahas are going to struggle.
• 57:34
  It was great to see top rack last go around be the top
• 57:38
  Yamaha. I think he's a every single time
• 57:41
  he goes out and touches that bike.
• 57:44
  He's not only has his head in the game 100% because I believe
• 57:49
  Quatraro has 1 foot out the door.
• 57:51
  You know that he gets in a race and the things start going a
• 57:54
  little bit bad and he's just seems to have a fucking
• 57:56
  mentality at this point. But it's good to see top top
• 58:01
  rack. Like you said, generational
• 58:02
  talent. I've been waiting to see him in
• 58:04
  Moto GP. Finally seeing him in there and
• 58:07
  being top Yamaha this early just bodes very well.
• 58:11
  Other than that, the KTMS are common.
• 58:13
  Pedro Acosta is their lead in light.
• 58:15
  It was sad to see Vinyalis not out another week after having
• 58:20
  that screw removed and he's rehabbing, which is good to see
• 58:24
  you again. The rehab and done, but I
• 58:26
  believe the clock is ticking on Vinyalis.
• 58:29
  He needs to start showing some results before the end of the
• 58:32
  year because you know that time is going in.
• 58:34
  These young guys are just looking better and better.
• 58:37
  Other than that, I'd say Alex Renz.
• 58:40
  I think the clock is ticking on him.
• 58:42
  I believe it's it's potentially probably his last year Moto GP.
• 58:46
  People don't want to hear it. This is just a rumor mill.
• 58:49
  But you know, it should be a good weekend.
• 58:52
  But the Aprilia's, I think Bez Bez is going to come in and get
• 58:56
  it done, put it to mark. And I don't think there's going
• 58:59
  to be a damn thing he can do about it, All right.
• 59:01
  I I, I hope it's not Alex. Renz's last year because he he's
• 59:05
  had a bad rap. He's just it's just awful to
• 59:08
  have injuries and it's tough to deal with.
• 59:10
  What are your thoughts, man, this week and what are you
• 59:12
  looking to see? How are you?
• 59:13
  I'm looking. I'm looking for bears.
• 59:15
  Again, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a big Bears fan and I think it's I
• 59:20
  think it's two equalizers that that's in the field that's going
• 59:24
  to prevent Marc Marquez from being so successful, especially
• 59:28
  with Jorge Martin being at full fitness this year and the way
• 59:33
  Pedro Acosta is riding. Those guys have a similar riding
• 59:38
  style with Mark. And it's hard for Mark.
• 59:41
  Just these past couple weekends I've been watching Mark, even
• 59:44
  though he's injured, it's hard for him to do what he need to do
• 59:47
  to get past those guys. And Bears is riding on a
• 59:50
  freaking rocket. I don't think anybody's going to
• 59:52
  stop him. But I like the battle between
• 59:55
  Digi and Agura. I love that battle.
• 1:00:01
  It was a, you know, that mishap that that mishap that he had
• 1:00:04
  here with the Old Glory motorcycle.
• 1:00:07
  I thought for sure that he was going to be able to get past
• 1:00:11
  Acosta to try to win before his motorcycle got whatever happened
• 1:00:15
  to it. But I look forward Inji and
• 1:00:17
  Agoura to battle battle this weekend.
• 1:00:19
  And I like what they did when in Coda and I I foreseeded they'd
• 1:00:22
  probably have the same battle here in Jerez.
• 1:00:25
  And I don't know, just the rest of the guys, just those those
• 1:00:31
  guys. I don't know what's going on
• 1:00:33
  with the what's the Frankie Morbideli?
• 1:00:36
  I don't know if he's racing this.
• 1:00:37
  I don't know what's going on with him.
• 1:00:39
  He's just sad case, you know, this year, you know, last year
• 1:00:43
  he was he was looking good. You know, him and Ninja were
• 1:00:45
  like, you know that combo? They were, they were.
• 1:00:48
  You know, they were handling business like, you know, podium.
• 1:00:50
  They were podium but around this time and to see how far he fell
• 1:00:54
  off this year, well, I don't know if he's on a 26 or a 25
• 1:00:57
  Ducati, but still he should have.
• 1:01:00
  They got parts from. About four different bikes and
• 1:01:02
  then just all put together, I tell you it's a Frankenstein
• 1:01:05
  bike. They don't know what year to
• 1:01:08
  call. I, I I.
• 1:01:11
  Feel you there, yeah. So I'm I'm looking forward to
• 1:01:15
  it. I'm.
• 1:01:16
  Already, like, you know, I, I just looked at the app, I think
• 1:01:19
  we got 11 hours to they start getting busy.
• 1:01:22
  So like I'm looking forward to it.
• 1:01:24
  So like, yeah, I'm ready for this weekend.
• 1:01:26
  Like Moto GP is where you know, where, where my heart is.
• 1:01:29
  So I'm looking at more to deep dive and get back into the swing
• 1:01:33
  because I'm still going to hung up off Coda.
• 1:01:34
  No deal. I feel, I feel the entice.
• 1:01:37
  Man, what are your thoughts, man?
• 1:01:38
  What are you looking to see this weekend?
• 1:01:40
  Man? I'm looking for a good race.
• 1:01:43
  Honestly, I mean, Bez is going to win probably my heart of
• 1:01:47
  hearts, hearts I know, but I would like to see a good race,
• 1:01:51
  like a fight for the a fight for the the podium.
• 1:01:55
  It's always good to see. I'd like to see Mark on the
• 1:01:57
  podium again, like to see him turn his his season around.
• 1:02:00
  That'd be good to see Jordan brought up.
• 1:02:05
  Top Rec Great to see him. As top Yamaha last last round, I
• 1:02:10
  think it's quite impressive that he's he's kind of showing his
• 1:02:13
  stuff with three rounds in now. I was kind of concerned it may
• 1:02:17
  take him a couple months to to get to get to grips with the
• 1:02:22
  tracks and the the bike and stuff like that and, and start
• 1:02:25
  putting up sort of, you know, similar sort of positions as
• 1:02:28
  Quatraro through this races and sprints.
• 1:02:30
  But yeah, I'd really like to see him doing, you know, better than
• 1:02:33
  15th. But good to see him as top
• 1:02:35
  Yamaha. But yeah, I can definitely see
• 1:02:38
  Digia, Mark Bez, Jorge up there at the top.
• 1:02:42
  I'd like to see the the the fact, not the factory, the
• 1:02:45
  customer Aprilia's getting, you know, be a little bit more
• 1:02:47
  consistent, though, and and fighting a little bit more for
• 1:02:50
  podiums because they certainly have the talent and the bike to
• 1:02:53
  be doing it. I completely agree.
• 1:02:55
  I hope. Track house, get it sorted.
• 1:02:57
  Out well, guys, I appreciate you guys coming on tonight.
• 1:03:00
  My name is Rex 45. It's to be forever cool podcast.
• 1:03:03
  I want to thank Jordan for coming on.
• 1:03:05
  I want to thank Cario from 2 wheels 1 chain coming on Tyson
• 1:03:09
