My name is X-45 with the B Forever Cool Podcast.
0:03
My name is TJ with two wells and coffee.
0:05
What's going on, man? How are things?
0:08
And I just can't complain. We got another week of racing
0:11
upon us, you know, a couple more weeks left.
0:13
But I'm just happy to get to Washington racing, no doubt.
0:17
And when you say a couple more weeks of racing, I assume you
0:19
talk about Moto GP? Yeah, Moto GP and our World
0:22
Super bikes done. But Moto GP still rolling?
0:25
Yeah, Speaking of World Super Bike man, they had to test the
0:31
NAFTA, obviously. I don't think we spoke since
0:34
Alvaro Batista won his Second World title, right?
0:38
No, but a lot, a lot has. A lot has happened since the
0:42
season ended. I mean before the test.
0:44
I mean, I know we was talking about all the changes.
0:48
I mean we have a lot of people who are going to the new teams.
0:53
So a lot of those, all those guys also tested.
0:56
What top rack is going to BMW, right?
0:59
Yep. We got Jonathan Ray going to
1:02
Yamaha. Yep, We got what Eoni Eoni was
1:10
testing out there as well and we got Rinaldi staying with the
1:15
same manufacturer but new, new team, correct?
1:20
Correct that. That's the part that's not
1:22
crazy. I think the craziest thing is
1:23
Inoni coming back after being out of professional racing for
1:31
four years, right, for testing positive for banned substance.
1:35
And he was, you know, one of the one of the guys as was, you
1:40
know, top of the charts on day two time charts on day 2, which
1:44
is pretty impressive. I mean you know, for being and I
1:47
think he's in his 30s now too. So he's, you know, he's not to
1:50
say he's over the hill or long in the tooth or anything like
1:53
that, but definitely he's not one of the young guys coming in.
1:57
And you know, he he he topped the time one.
2:00
He was one of the top three. Oh yeah, I'm sure he been, he
2:04
has been training up up until this point or at least staging 4
2:10
comeback due to his banned substance situation.
2:18
Banned You know so, but you know for someone being out and then
2:22
step in. Into the plate and producing
2:25
like that that's that is pretty impressive you know just just
2:29
jumping on that type of bike and and just going out there and
2:33
putting it down laps right and and Nicola Bugola did the same
2:37
thing I know jacking up his last name forgive me for that he you
2:41
know he he also another guy on the factory Ducati that was up
2:45
the end of time charts and he he won the world super sport title
2:49
and and so now he got the factory seat and you know even
2:53
another another guy that that's that's up there and running in a
2:57
test that which was pretty impressive.
2:59
Well, I thought, my thing is when the test comes right are
3:04
they looking for who's the fastest guy out there or they
3:07
test in, you know, to see how you fit on the bike?
3:10
I know they all testing that, but it always seems like they.
3:14
They say this guy was the fastest in the test and everyone
3:17
appreciates that more than someone improving on a new, new
3:23
machinery, right? I think.
3:26
And you know, I haven't, I haven't been in the world Super
3:28
Bike camp or anything like that. But I assume like Nicola and
3:34
Innone and I and I and I forget who the third I might have been
3:37
Remy Gardner. I think the the newer ride is
3:41
coming in, they're just trying to go fast.
3:43
I think the seasoned guys are working out setups and and
3:46
working out a lot of other stuff and suspension and all other
3:49
things and unnecessary work because I think they might.
3:52
They realize that, you know, being the top of the time charts
3:55
in a test is not. The most important thing is
3:57
making sure they're they're they are comfortable on the bike,
4:01
they got a good feel for the bike, and the bike is doing what
4:04
they wanted to do. Yeah, don't they want to like?
4:08
See improvement. You know, like say if they want
4:12
to add a add a different chain of sprocket or winglet or
4:17
something. If they go out there to see if
4:19
they can change time as opposed to just seeing if they're fast
4:22
about it. Fast is out of everyone correct
4:24
exactly that that that's what I'm thinking too.
4:26
You know what I'm saying it it is that.
4:28
So I like not seeing top rack up there or Ray or Batista or one
4:36
of these guys. You know, it's you know, I
4:38
don't, I'm not worried about that.
4:40
I will say, I will say it's nice to see Axel Bassani on a factory
4:45
team. I know he was probably gunning
4:47
for the factory Ducati seat but he got the Cowie seat so I'm
4:51
I'm, I'm, I'm happy to see him there.
4:53
It it'll be interesting to see you know how Top Rock does on
4:59
the BMW next season. Oh yeah, I'm just for him
5:03
jumping off of the Yamaha. We know how Yamaha is doing,
5:06
especially Moto GP. For him to jump on BMWI, Can't
5:10
wait. I know watching the BMW and
5:13
Motor America was really fun. They were, you know.
5:18
Winning a lot of races, you know, just different series.
5:21
But to see skilled right as top rack, see what he can do on a
5:26
manufacturer we're not used to seeing.
5:28
It's going to be interesting. Yeah.
5:30
And you know, with girl off and some of these other guys, they
5:33
were starting to crack the top, you know, seven, right.
5:36
Probably It's just safe to say it's top ten, right.
5:38
But they you know end of the season those guys were starting
5:41
to you know get their sea legs underneath them on on under BMW
5:46
you know yes top rack you know has a title and and he's a skill
5:52
writer and but you know I would have said you know you know
5:56
Scott Redden being a Moto GP guy finishing you know really high
6:00
on the Ducati even though he didn't win a championship you
6:04
know he he did he did you know give give a fight in the air.
6:07
You know you know I think the skin the skill sets I what I'm
6:11
trying to say is the skill sets I think is pretty Even.
6:13
So I don't know if he's going to bring a lot more to BMW than
6:18
Gerloff or Redding or you know one of these other riders that's
6:22
already there, especially being a new rider and and and being on
6:27
the Yamaha, you know? Well, it does help the BMW team
6:31
or you know, I, I like Garrett Gerloff, you know, I was even
6:34
from him for the beginning. But to have him come on, you
6:38
know, and just get data from him and I mean as far as as the BMW
6:41
team think they'll be really, really.
6:44
Someone to mess with. Yeah I think so too because
6:47
because Gerloff was he came from Yamaha.
6:49
So I think you know for top rock probably he's the person to lean
6:52
on the most because he came off of the Yamaha.
6:55
I think for a couple of years maybe three years maybe two or
6:57
three years that Gerloff was with Yamaha.
7:00
So I, you know I do think that but I, I don't you know, again
7:04
I, you know we'll see right. The BMW is is is is yet to be a
7:09
champion bike so it'll you know we shall see because I I don't
7:15
want to I don't want to I'm not trying to take anything away
7:17
from top rock skill because he's definitely a skill rider by by
7:21
you know but but so is Redding right.
7:24
I mean so is you know you know so these are these are I'm not
7:27
going to you know I'm saying like like Redding was in Moto GP
7:29
from age 16 you know what I'm saying like or 15 or 16 or
7:33
whatever. He was young in Moto GP so like
7:35
I'm not I don't want to take it like I don't it it's unfortunate
7:38
that I don't see Redding doing well.
7:39
It hasn't done well on the BMW yet and and and even though he
7:43
lost the factory seat and now he's on I forget the name of the
7:46
team he's on but he's on the same team as as Gerloft.
7:51
You know I, I I still think Redden is a skilled guy you know
7:55
what I'm saying. So it's it's, you know, I'm not,
7:58
I don't, I'm not knocking top rock.
7:59
But like, you know, we just got to wait and see.
8:04
Oh yeah, Do you think Albert Bautista, like, you know, what
8:10
type of changes they made? To during this test because you
8:15
know he's the he's the winner. I mean like, I mean he has
8:19
improved the past two years being number one, but right.
8:24
The thing is this, they added, I did, they made some changes,
8:27
more changes than I know about, but they add 7K to weight for
8:32
him because there's there's now a minimum weight that every
8:35
rider has to be in. So he they had to add weight to
8:38
his bike for him to make that minimum weight, right.
8:41
So yeah yeah. So I believe it's 7 kilos and
8:48
it's going to take some getting used to.
8:50
You know I can only donate my biggest The only way I can
8:52
really tell I'm I don't know what my like.
8:54
So when I ride my Multistrada, I got a top you know I got a top
8:57
case on the back and I got a backpack full of not full of but
9:01
I got a laptop and and and and and stuff in it right.
9:04
And I noticed the difference when I ride that bike on the
9:07
street, when I take corners and stuff like that, when my
9:09
backpack is in the in the top case versus when it's not.
9:13
You know, you probably notice a difference when you have a full
9:15
tank of gas on your bike or most people do on their bike versus
9:18
when they get like low, you know or you know you notice if if
9:22
you're pushing your bike right you, you know what I'm saying
9:25
you you'll you'll get a feel. So you know that's something
9:29
he's going to have to get used to.
9:31
You know, he could get fatigued by the process.
9:35
He may have to bulk up, which could make him a little bit more
9:37
less flexible because of it. He's also an older rider as
9:41
well. So you know that.
9:44
I remember when motor GP guys started having the shoulder Cam
9:50
and they talked about the weight, the weight with just
9:53
having the Cam, the camera on on on their shoulder and and just
9:57
the difference that made and that camera I got to assume is
10:01
is is a lot lighter than than the weight they're putting on
10:04
Alvar's bike. Well, you think they're just
10:07
trying to slow him down? Because I know Danny for Jose is
10:10
like, man, if y'all added some weight to my bike, I'm telling
10:12
you because I don't go ahead now.
10:17
I was going to say it's just I don't know the rules that they
10:20
come out with every year. You know for him went in two
10:23
years in a row, you see the Ducati improving.
10:28
I don't know why his weight has to come into play.
10:31
Well, when he's winning it, it comes into play because of his
10:35
weight. He's always going to have more
10:37
tire at the end of the of of the race.
10:42
But here's the downside of being that light.
10:45
If it's if it's cold out, he doesn't have enough weight to
10:48
heat, keep heating and tire like.
10:50
And that was the biggest thing with Danny Pedroza on on colder
10:53
race days he wasn't heavy enough to keep enough weight keep
10:56
enough heat in the in the tires on on on on that type of thing.
11:00
So it's one thing when it's when it's hot out and and you know
11:04
it's it's it's he's going to get the grip he need because the the
11:07
he got that heat out there. But you know when it's chilly
11:10
out or colder temperatures I should say it's harder for him
11:14
to generate heat in the tires. So there's pros and cons to that
11:17
and you know, and I don't know I'm not and I don't on one hand
11:22
I was just bringing up Scott Redden on the other.
11:24
Now I'm going to sit here from to my knowledge he's one of the
11:27
writers that complained about you know Alvaro being so light
11:31
and they should so and now we have a weight thing right.
11:34
So and and when he won the first title I believe or or you know
11:38
and and so you know in in our racing world in like the Super
11:44
sport class there is a weight class on certain on certain
11:47
bikes so they're they're already in place bike and rider has to
11:51
be certain rate weights and stuff like that that type of
11:54
thing and and so for Alvaro it's tricky although you know I think
12:00
muscle and you know a big heavier bike around you know you
12:06
know he's just going to have to act like it's a I'm not even
12:09
going to say but he I think he'll figure it out.
12:12
All right. He'll figure it out for sure.
12:14
I mean, I think it would make him a little bit faster to be
12:19
honest. Well, he doesn't need to be
12:22
though, right? Because he can.
12:23
Help. No, he doesn't.
12:24
Because you saw what he'd done this year, right?
12:27
He hung around until halfway through the race and then.
12:31
He didn't have to. He didn't have to leave the race
12:33
at all. Yeah.
12:34
And then he just picked his way through when everybody else was
12:36
eating their tires up. He didn't have to worry about
12:38
that. But he also had to build heat in
12:40
his tire as well. So it's not like he was sitting
12:41
here, you know, you know, thinking about what he's going
12:44
to have for lunch, you know? But I I saw for him the racing
12:47
was easier because, you know, you saw how top rock, top rock,
12:52
even though he won that last race, you saw what he had to do
12:57
to win the last race. You know what I mean?
13:00
Like, yeah, that like, like, I mean like they had.
13:02
Like go ahead. They had what, 25 overtakes?
13:06
It was something ridiculous and and and top rock was was beyond
13:11
the limit. He rode beyond the limit and you
13:15
can't do that. I thought they both were.
13:17
I thought they were both wrong. No, no.
13:18
You know what they said? No, no, there's a side.
13:22
You think Bautista was just like, all right, I got you.
13:24
Just keep doing what you gotta do.
13:26
I think there's a side that he let him just get it.
13:30
I think there's a side that this is just like I got the title and
13:34
and and he's this is the only this is the he was the only dude
13:38
that that even gave him a fighting chance.
13:40
Right. Honestly.
13:41
Honestly. Right he was the only dude that
13:42
was just like no one else wants to step up.
13:44
I'm going to step up every weekend and he did that every
13:47
weekend. Yeah I mean he he did it every
13:50
weekend and and you know and it tore him up when he did that and
13:54
and and the tire blew out because it was that same kind of
13:58
race that he had that last round.
14:00
It was like it was just kind of like yo, he was giving
14:02
everything he had and I don't think Batista was doing the same
14:06
thing. He wasn't giving it everything.
14:08
He was being as competitive, but he I he wasn't riding over his.
14:12
He might have rode over his limit here and there, but he
14:14
wasn't right over like top rack rode over his limit the entire
14:18
race. Well I mean I guess he did
14:21
because the the last lap he had a little where I've been the
14:24
incident with a track clinic warning so pushing back but you
14:30
know that that was that was a. I couldn't imagine being the
14:36
type of race like that, fighting against a friend overtaken 25
14:40
times or you know, in in NHI mean a couple of times here and
14:45
there. But like they were doing in
14:47
every other corner. It was impressive.
14:50
It was, it was. And so I mean no.
14:57
Redden was just as impressive. What on on the year.
15:01
The first year he was on the Ducati.
15:03
I don't know what happened the second year and he was riding
15:06
the heck out of that bike as well.
15:09
Not to you know not to the I don't want to say not to the
15:14
level but Top Rock had to ride the Yamaha that way.
15:17
It is what it is. He didn't.
15:19
They didn't. He was not on the Ducati.
15:21
So he had to ride the bike that way now.
15:24
And I and I say all to say it's it's interesting because
15:30
Alvarez, the only guy on a Ducati and World Super Bike,
15:33
right, that I don't know who finished third place, but I
15:36
think it was Jonathan Rader finished third place, right.
15:39
Yeah. So.
15:40
So where you look at Moto GP you got you know the first three
15:44
guys in the in the in the championship of Ducatis.
15:47
So it does. It does make you wonder how come
15:51
Bassani Rinaldi, all these other Ducati writers, only President.
15:58
He's the only one that's been moving forward.
16:00
He's the only one, one of the only ones.
16:01
I shouldn't say he's the only one because you know Bassani and
16:04
Rinaldi have have have been there but they've been there for
16:08
their contract for the last. You know they've they've been
16:10
there for a few years now but they they didn't have the same
16:14
you know you see like Martin and and Pekko is battling it and and
16:18
Bazecki is trying to pull up the third.
16:20
You don't you know there's still a Yamaha and and a Kawasaki
16:24
before there's another Ducati. So it's kind of like these other
16:28
riders. If if adding the weight to
16:33
Alvarez bike and then all of a sudden you got a bunch of a
16:36
bunch of Ducatis in the top five next season or something like
16:40
that, then you know it it does show that the lighter, the
16:43
lighter guy on the bike is going to do do do the best job out
16:47
there. But these other you know Marty,
16:52
I mean I don't know if the same weight will apply to Martine
16:55
because Martine is like Alvaro and I think I said this in the
16:58
last show. So it's possible why he he's
17:01
also being able to to to get that extra inch or half inch or
17:06
quarter inch off of of of of of of the rest of the people.
17:11
So weight does matter to a degree, but you could also be
17:14
too light for a bike, you know as well as Danny Pedroza was in
17:18
the end of his career. Hang on, are you there?
17:26
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
17:27
OK. Yeah.
17:28
You just broke up for a little bit, so go ahead and say what
17:30
you want. To say I was, I was going to say
17:32
Mark Marquez is about the same size as Jorge Martin.
17:37
There's a couple other racers generally around the same height
17:40
and weight, right? You know, I know Petco is one of
17:43
the taller ones, I would say. And Mogadeli.
17:47
Yep. Oh yeah.
17:48
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:49
Yeah. But yeah, I mean I'm looking at
17:54
the championship standings right now for World Super.
17:57
But like I mean our Bautista finished with 628 points with
18:02
top rack was following with 552. So that's a huge difference.
18:07
I mean if you go to 3rd place with Jonathan Ray with 370, so
18:12
like that's almost double from what Bautista has.
18:15
So maybe they they needed to. Change something up now.
18:20
Is it just for someone who of his weight caliber, like is
18:25
anyone else in what and Russell bike.
18:27
He's in caliber, right? He's not heavy enough, so
18:29
they're going to add weight to the bike.
18:31
Someone else will probably have to lose weight if you know like
18:34
like a Pitucci. When he came into Moto GP, he
18:38
was heavy as hell, so he had to lose weight.
18:41
I don't know. I doubt his situation is like
18:43
that now because he's he's looking pretty lean right now.
18:47
So I think for the bigger guys they they have to stay they have
18:51
to stay slim and and and keep that weight off.
18:54
But if you know if if you're a small rider and and you know
18:58
Aaron Connect for instance come out to Motor World Super Bike
19:01
for some reason he's going to he's probably going to have to
19:04
add weight as well to the bike you know.
19:07
So it's not everyone and I got to assume adding weight to your
19:11
body and weight to the bike is, is different because at least
19:15
the weight to the body can be you know, you know separate, you
19:19
know just spread throughout your body, right.
19:22
It's not in one place and and maybe they're doing that with
19:24
the bike as well. Who knows.
19:25
But you know, I, I, you know it's going to be tricky because
19:30
you know, you can't put weight on the wheels.
19:32
Yeah. It's like we we going to put it
19:34
maybe that you know the bottom of the engine.
19:36
You know that's the best place probably.
19:38
But I'm not a physician. I'm not a I'm not a physics
19:40
major. So you know what I'm saying?
19:43
I think you. Think the the center would be
19:45
the best cuz you put it in the front.
19:46
You know the you mean burning more brakes and tires and yeah,
19:50
yeah, yeah, so I don't know. So versus you know, if you just
19:53
need to gain £5, you're gonna get it gain it everywhere.
19:57
So what? What?
19:58
What if he just takes a lot of? You know, energy, muscle, things
20:04
and and just eat a lot. It gains weight, but they still
20:08
have to throw at it. I suspect, you know, like a like
20:10
a marathon training, training to lose weight, you know, to make a
20:14
deadline. Yeah, to make a weight, make a
20:16
weight, a weight class. I mean, I suspect, you know, who
20:19
knows, but maybe that's what they're doing.
20:21
That's why they weren't worrying about times, you know, this past
20:25
weekend and and maybe he realized, look.
20:27
You can have a 7 on a bike or you can put you know four on you
20:31
with three on you. We can put four on the bike and
20:34
and and and because that would probably makes more sense to to
20:37
break it up. If not, you know it.
20:39
Or if he can put the whole thing in his body, then the bike is
20:42
agile and he has muscle memory from the bike and you know
20:46
heavier muscles takes a little bit of getting used to, but
20:50
that's just going to be reaction time and and just.
20:54
You know you're going to slow down a little bit for sure, but
20:57
you know what your muscles you're going to speed up as
20:59
well. So you really, it's really just
21:01
you getting used to your muscles.
21:03
And you know, I I think it's going to be, I don't know, I
21:07
maybe they try it with the bike now and then he tried.
21:10
He adds some weight and they take weight off the bike and
21:12
they see which one, which one feels better.
21:15
Oh yeah, Unfortunately, they're gonna have to try the bike
21:18
first. I don't.
21:19
Know exactly it's gonna take all the way and what day.
21:21
You know he. I don't know I don't I think the
21:24
calendar is out but and I think they're probably gonna start
21:26
racing in March so you know you got you got some time I listen
21:30
man I think I gotta lose about seven key I gotta lose some
21:34
weights off my my my my my my body right now.
21:37
So I mean, I I wait, I guess it's just how you build, you
21:42
know, it's hard for me to gain weight, I say.
21:44
Yeah, I mean, you can lose weight, but.
21:46
You're you're still at a place where you metabolism is pretty
21:51
fast, so you don't have to worry about that right now.
21:53
But trust me, there's some people out there saying, look
21:55
man, I could look at a bag of chips and I gain a pound.
22:00
I mean, Thanksgiving is coming up too, so he better gets the
22:04
heating. Yeah, no doubt.
22:05
No doubt. So yeah, man, let's get into
22:07
Moto GP, man, because we're in Malaysia.
22:12
Yep, And a nice fast track. Nice fast track.
22:17
Yeah, it's a long track too. You know, it's interesting
22:22
because last year when, and I think I mentioned this to when
22:25
Pekka was fighting for the Championship, they talked about
22:28
team orders. But this year, when is Ducati
22:34
1-2 and three? I mean, Ducati could just say
22:36
team orders, right and just give it to Pekko, right?
22:39
They can just say, look, man, you having fun do all that?
22:44
It's like Phil Jackson, you know?
22:47
I'm saying some records are not meant to be broken and pulled
22:50
out Kobe when he scored 81 and he could have probably scored
22:54
another 20 something and broke Kareem.
22:56
Scoring, scoring. Right.
22:59
So I don't think it was Kareem. Maybe it was Walter, one of
23:01
these guys. Well, they had a hundred.
23:03
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
23:04
Yeah. Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
23:05
So it could be the powers in Ducati's hand, right?
23:11
They they can literally pick who they want as the winner.
23:14
Yeah, that that is crazy. That the how the Cards played
23:17
out, you know, over the past two years.
23:21
But now you know they can direct who they want as a winner like
23:26
you said. Because before when you had like
23:29
Ducati they had a whole bunch of points and the other Ducati
23:33
rider didn't have a lot of. Yeah, yeah and you had to block
23:38
him out. I had to block Fabio as best you
23:40
can or you know, different manufacturer and that take away
23:45
from the rider who's has nothing to do with it, who wants to, you
23:49
know participate and like, no, I want to, I have a chance to win
23:52
this and you try to have me play the game for, you know.
23:56
Right. Right and and right and and
23:59
that's the thing and I and I think you know any writer any
24:02
person is probably going and that's what Peco said last year.
24:04
He is like I don't want team order.
24:06
Let's see what happens right. And and there's a writer that is
24:09
the mentality right. But you know I you know if if
24:13
Ducati is thinking if Ducati is looking at the if Ducati is
24:17
looking at the long picture. They want Peco to win Hoy
24:22
Martinez. He's not go they.
24:24
Don't they don't want to win? No, no, no, no, no.
24:27
Seriously. If Ducati's thinking about
24:28
listen, it's a factory bike, that's not fair.
24:32
Factory right. But it's a factory team right
24:35
And and if if if, if you would ask any of them dudes and and I
24:40
don't want to bring race into it but you got an Italian on
24:43
Italian manufacturer they want that guy to win.
24:48
That that I'm telling you and they they want that guy to win
24:52
and you can kind of see it. You can kind of see it because
24:56
when when when when the camera pans on in the Ducati paddock
25:01
and you see these guys they went when when Martinez out in front.
25:05
They're not they they they they don't look like they're rooting
25:08
for him. I hate to say it like that but
25:10
they don't look like they're rooting for him like that.
25:12
When they win, they give him the hug and they give him a high 5.
25:14
But if you go and see when Pekko win, it's a different kind of
25:17
love. And and and it is, I mean you
25:21
can, you can see it. So I mean I do believe that and
25:26
again if you're in business, you want your factory team to win.
25:29
You want your factory team to go back-to-back like that's that's
25:32
what you want. You know what I'm saying?
25:34
And again, there's no loser for Ducati in the long run, because
25:38
one or two, unless something happens these last few round, a
25:41
Ducati is going to win a championship, right?
25:44
So I mean, but you know it it's it's kind of like, do you have a
25:48
favorite child? Yes, I do.
25:50
And he likes rap. And always, I don't think that's
25:56
fair. I just don't think that's fair.
25:59
I think, I think Martin, be the one that'd be like screw your
26:02
orders. No, listen, man, I don't.
26:05
Listen, you know, I don't want to say he's the bastard child,
26:09
but I mean that's they they they're going to pay it out that
26:15
way. That's.
26:16
You know, you know, say, so you're rooting for the underdog,
26:18
right? You know, say you're rooting.
26:20
You know, if you watch these, these, these these these movies
26:23
and TV shows and stuff like that, you know, you know, and
26:26
the King gotta got like 13 bastard kids, you know what I'm
26:29
saying? And you know it is what it is,
26:31
but you know. They do.
26:34
I feel like you would. I mean you would.
26:36
It is, it is, this is business, you know what I'm saying?
26:39
At the end of the day, you want your factory team to win.
26:41
You think in in Formula One. You know you think McLaren
26:45
wants. You think Mercedes want McLaren
26:47
to Cook to win. Not McLaren.
26:49
That's Austin Martin or whoever has the the same engine.
26:52
I think it's Austin Martin. You think they want them to win?
26:54
No, they want. They want Lewis and and Russell
26:57
to win. You know what I'm saying?
26:59
The same thing with Red Bull and all these teams.
27:01
Oh, they want the factory teams to win.
27:02
They don't want the satellite and the other teams to win.
27:04
And you got the same engine. You know what I'm saying?
27:07
Because Ducati is paying meant for these guys.
27:09
They're not. You know another thing they're
27:10
not paying meant for for, oh, hey, and Zako.
27:14
But the fact your factory team means you're getting bigger
27:16
money, I think you know that is true.
27:20
I think it's my theory is a little bigger than that.
27:23
Like, I think they're afraid, just slightly.
27:27
They want PECO to win for sure. But if Pory Martin pulls this
27:32
out, you know the decision that they didn't choose him last year
27:35
to be a factory rider and now if he wins they would have to make
27:40
a decision. Like, they don't want that
27:44
decision right now, so they want PECO to win.
27:47
They're not going to focus on Martin Another.
27:49
Time. They can't.
27:50
They can't. They will.
27:53
And and Neo Bastianini, it's not his fault.
27:56
So they no, no, not at. All they can't get rid of him
28:00
and and and they already said they'll lose them all the money
28:02
if they did. Does does, oh hey deserve the
28:06
seat? Yeah, but so does Bazecki.
28:08
Bazecki was close. You know what I'm saying?
28:11
So you know, I'm not taking anything away from him.
28:14
But so, so out of, out of loyalty.
28:18
Bassini has to keep that in end contract.
28:20
I mean out of contract, not even loyalty.
28:23
But you'd want to see loyalty, right?
28:25
Because the IT was no fault. It was no fault he was taken
28:27
out. It was no fault.
28:28
I mean it was the second time he he took everybody out.
28:30
It was that that was his fault. But the first time was not his
28:33
fault and and so they got to give him a chance and for and
28:37
they can pay they can they can give him a factory contract and
28:40
he's still on Primax. So you know it's not like he's
28:45
missing the money. It's not like he's missing the
28:46
bike. He just don't have the red color
28:49
right at the end of the day that's what that's what
28:51
literally what it comes down to at that point.
28:53
It's like you they're paying you the money and they're painting
28:56
and and you're getting the bike. So realistic is that but you
29:01
know so you know but if if if it's it's hard to say with
29:06
Ducati would regret not giving Jorge the seat.
29:10
I think Jorge not getting the seat is motivation for him doing
29:13
what he's doing this year. Right.
29:16
But Bassini did have a better year last year and was more
29:20
consistent last year than he was, especially at the end of
29:22
the year. Well, I know Jorge Martinez
29:26
first year motor GPI think he won.
29:29
I'm not sure. I think one or two GP Grand Prix
29:33
that he got #1, which is kind of impressive, so I thought his
29:37
second year would be a lot better, but you know he had his
29:40
ups and downs as he's still going through now, right and.
29:44
Ambassador. And he came through and killed
29:45
it. Killed it.
29:46
Yeah, he did. He he he he rode.
29:50
He rides last year because he didn't really ride this.
29:54
He's not riding this year even though he's on a bike.
29:56
He rode last year, like how Zako's riding this year.
30:00
Right. Strong at the end of races.
30:03
Strong at the end of races and and and so he deserved that seat
30:08
and and you know if he didn't get taken out it could have been
30:12
Peko and him this year instead of instead of Martine or it
30:17
could have been Martine him, Bazecki, it could have been four
30:20
of them. I'm not, you know, I don't want
30:21
to. I don't want to take anyone out
30:22
of it. But definitely.
30:25
Martine has been right. Martine at the end of the season
30:27
is right. Like how Pecker wrote it in the
30:29
last season. And you know, I don't know if
30:35
the mistakes he made already cost them.
30:39
You know, sometimes when you show your cards too soon, you
30:42
know it. It gives extra motivation to
30:44
other people. So you know I'm saying you know
30:48
sometimes you, you know I think he tried to dominate some races
30:52
and crashed out and or wore his tire out and he figured out this
30:55
last one and and did what he needed to do.
30:57
But now you know. Peko Saw is seeing this and and
31:03
and and I'm, you know at at the moment you know, unless or
31:08
unless. Jorge Lorenzo.
31:11
Mark Marquez. A whole bunch of other seasoned
31:15
riders are are sitting here in in oh, Hey's camp.
31:18
And don't get me wrong, I know that you know Alesh and Renz and
31:24
a bunch of other guys they're tight with, but that VR6 Academy
31:27
is is a monster. They're like, they're like
31:31
Avengers, you know what I'm saying?
31:33
You know they're, they're, they're so you know when you,
31:36
when, when, when you got, when you're surrounded, like, like
31:40
they're surrounded. I think these last few rounds
31:44
you're, you're going to see a different peckle.
31:48
Yeah, like I said, Peckle is going to have to step it up.
31:51
These last few rounds especially.
31:53
I mean, his team is pushing for him.
31:54
Like there's only so much they can do.
31:57
So he's, he's going to have to step it up.
31:58
He's going to have to be in Q2 right away.
32:00
Yeah. Yeah.
32:01
And he's got like no second row. He's at the front row.
32:05
Hey. Keep this in mind, right?
32:07
Think about this for a second, right?
32:09
He's for this. Second or one races with bad
32:13
qualifying. No, I know.
32:16
I know it it. It mine like you know, Oh yeah,
32:19
I have, you know. Quarantine is doing backflips.
32:22
But like, you know this dude. No, that's not.
32:25
No. But you don't say.
32:27
But you know, but you know, you know this, this, like like, you
32:30
know, you do realize this dude had to come through the field on
32:33
you. Oh, I know, I know.
32:36
But you know, like, it's crazy because Martinez, the king of
32:39
poles, you know, he'll start in the front, so you got to worry
32:43
about him because you know, he can run away, right?
32:46
But he also the. Thing is this though, not to cut
32:48
you off. He, he, he, he, he getting pole
32:54
and and going a distance of two separate things, 02 separate.
32:57
Things and I and I think Peko don't care what you do in in the
33:01
getting the pole. But I I know Peko cares.
33:04
He should be in the first row for sure.
33:07
Well, I don't think Martine can afford to be where Pekko.
33:10
No, no, no, no. I mean and vice versa.
33:13
Well, I think that Pekko has a little bit more experience
33:16
because he shows that he can come from the back and manage
33:18
the tires. I don't know if Martine can come
33:20
from the back and manage the tires to the end of the race.
33:23
Can he come from the back, not the back, middle, whatever, you
33:26
know, you know, 4 rows down, 5 rows down, he can come through,
33:31
but can he's manage the tires. That's the difference.
33:36
Do you think that race at what was it Catalunya?
33:39
Do you think that race at Catalunya where Echo led the
33:42
race and basically lost control and they have no idea what
33:47
happened to the bike? You think that affects him a
33:49
little bit to try to lead a race?
33:51
At this moment I I think slightly, but you know, every
33:56
experience because since that happened he's been fighting from
33:59
the back, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
34:00
Yeah. No, it is.
34:02
There's something, maybe there's something about the bike he
34:04
doesn't trust because they've yet this.
34:06
Tell us what happened. And so he hasn't LED a race
34:09
since then and and I don't know. Yeah, yeah, I know that.
34:12
Yeah. And he had a yeah, I don't know.
34:14
Maybe there there, there could be some truth for that maybe.
34:16
Look, man, listen, when I crashed in 2017, man, it it took
34:22
me, it took me a little bit to get comfortable going through
34:24
Turn 3 at Loudon. You know what I'm saying?
34:27
And and and and and and I got. I got ran over by another rider.
34:32
And and so yeah, you know, we're human beings.
34:34
You know what I'm saying? And I'm not.
34:37
I'm not and I'm not. I'm not sitting here saying I'm
34:39
a motor GP rider by any stretch of imagination.
34:41
But we're human beings. It doesn't matter if you're a
34:43
motor GP rider or you're one of us.
34:46
Do you know doing the backyard boogie it It is.
34:50
You know, yeah incidents are going to shake us and and and
34:52
we're going to have to get over them and confidence are going to
34:55
get shook and and that's that's the thing it's like.
34:58
It's it's the adversity, right? It's how we handle that right at
35:02
the end of the day, because you're not going to have a
35:04
season without adversity. It's really just how you handle
35:07
it exactly. And he is just also just not
35:11
trying to throw it away, because if he is in 1st and throws it
35:16
away again like he has before, not this year, but that's 25
35:21
points gone. You know he can't.
35:24
He can't. He can make it up being in 15th
35:27
trying to get scrounge with points.
35:29
Right, being in the lead. But I think that fall had a
35:33
little bit to do with why he's not in the front.
35:37
Because I know like like you said, I loud and I crashed in
35:39
two corners there and now I have two corners where I'm a little
35:43
iffy, you know? No, just the game.
35:47
It takes a while to gain that back.
35:48
Yeah, definitely, for sure. So, you know, either way, I'm
35:52
Moto GP is exciting to watch. I'm rooting.
35:54
I'm rooting for Ducati 1. I'm rooting for Petco, but I
35:58
also like, I'm not going to, I can't deny what what Martine is
36:02
doing. He's he's, he's, he's he's
36:05
riding like or hey Lorenzo, he's riding like Danny Pedroza.
36:11
You know, I, I, I, I might can even say Casey Stoner in the
36:15
mix, right? You know, because these guys,
36:18
when they get out front, they just ghost.
36:19
You know what I'm saying? He has a he has the momentum
36:23
right now. Like, like if you know sporting
36:26
events where someone has the momentum, they take the soul out
36:29
of you basically, you know, like he he's, he's still in the
36:32
momentum right now. And Pekko got a break last race
36:36
with Brenda, the Bender incident, you know, got four
36:39
more points. Back and Pekko is going to have
36:42
to give that BMW to to to Bender if he was the title this.
36:47
Year by five points, right? He he gonna have to give
36:52
something because you know and and but that's experience,
36:56
right? And Brad should you know Brad.
36:59
Brad should know. You know what I'm saying?
37:01
Especially after the first two times he should know.
37:05
And that's the part. I mean, I don't.
37:09
I think that last race based on where he was.
37:12
I don't. I don't think there was another
37:13
option for him. I don't, you know, I don't, I
37:15
don't think there was another place for his bike, just based
37:19
on how how the situation unfolded.
37:21
So you know what I'm saying? He wanted that first.
37:24
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I don't, I don't, I don't
37:26
think he's not like, oh, I could have pulled my bike over some
37:28
more to the left or something like that.
37:30
Because that that's all, you know, I'm saying that that
37:33
that's so it it's unfortunate, but you know we're talking,
37:37
we're talking like 2 inches in here, one or two inches of that.
37:41
And and yeah, so you know, if you know if if Peko had access
37:45
to the private jet, hopefully Brad flew back with him.
37:48
You know what I'm saying, 'cause he he definitely that like that
37:54
that white points made a different and.
37:56
And the crazy part about this right for Martine right now
38:00
think about this and and I'll go back to like Top Rock for a
38:04
second when you ride your ass off and you only get five more
38:07
points than a person behind you. And no, seriously, Because
38:11
Because you know Martine did, right?
38:13
He rolled his ass off. You know what I'm saying?
38:15
And and then and so on one hand you're like, yeah.
38:19
On the other hand, you're like, he's right behind me.
38:23
Like how? You know what I'm saying?
38:25
So that that also has to be a little bit of blow because, you
38:29
know, because you know you're giving it that much more.
38:33
And it's just like, yo, this dude.
38:34
And again, if I'm recognizing it, it's like this dude started
38:37
way back. And he finished second and and
38:41
and you now, so you have to say here and go, OK and and what
38:45
happens if I'm one and he's two. You know what I'm saying?
38:49
Like what happens then? And and Pekko has the experience
38:55
and Martine has to. That's the thing he's going to
38:57
have to swallow because if this weekend, if they're one and two,
39:00
the pressure is more on Martine than it is for Pekko.
39:04
I think the pressure is still on Martine anyway.
39:07
He's he's he's up and down trying to chase.
39:10
Yeah yeah you know he was what even he was like plus couple
39:14
points and they went down And then with that with the Sprint
39:18
and then now with the the Grand Prix or Bender, he would have
39:22
been what, nine points, something like that or eight
39:26
points. Now it's like 13 or 14.
39:28
I'm. Sure.
39:29
Eighteen. I think it was 1818 something.
39:31
Like that, yeah, but that. I'm keeping track.
39:36
I'm keeping track but I lost track with with.
39:39
I just love it Now we got the Sprint in the Grand Prix, so
39:43
it's and. It's also not having that Sprint
39:45
as well, right? Because if they don't make that
39:46
other Sprint race up, that's that's awesome, you know and and
39:49
you know look. I I I I have.
39:56
I've had many Ducatis in my life and I hope to have more.
39:59
I'm a fan of Ducati, but you know, I I it's suspect that
40:03
they're not making that race up. I can see if it was the Grand
40:09
Prix which had more points. Dude, it's still 12.
40:12
Listen, when it's that close 12 points matter.
40:15
Oh, I know you. See what I'm saying?
40:16
That's what That's what I'm like.
40:18
It's coming down to that. Yeah, it's like, it's not, it's
40:20
not something to like sneeze like, OK, it doesn't matter
40:23
because. Yo, that's twelve points.
40:26
Because if that race, if that race did happen, the race could
40:31
be closer. And yeah, and it could be
40:32
further too. But it did still matters, you
40:37
know. Oh, it does.
40:39
We're talking Paco has 389 and Martine has 376.
40:44
Yeah. So I think Zarco won that right
40:53
cycle. One and Phillips Island, I
40:55
believe. Yeah, yeah, that's the one that
40:57
didn't do the Sprint, so I forgot where Jorge Martin
41:02
finished that race. But 5th.
41:03
Not that I'm keeping. Strange.
41:08
Here we go. Well, I mean, like, yeah, like
41:13
that. That's the one.
41:14
That he was leading in attire, right?
41:16
Yeah, so. Oh, right.
41:17
Yep. Yep.
41:18
So, so, so yeah, I felt like he would have figured it out and
41:24
probably you would have won the Sprint at least because in that
41:27
full distance race, that last lap screwed up.
41:29
Yeah, I mean, weather matters, but yeah, no doubt, sorry,
41:33
that's actually nine points you could possibly have.
41:35
Yeah. As I'm saying you just don't
41:37
know. So it is.
41:38
I mean I will say so far I I do appreciate the Sprint race and I
41:42
do appreciate the excitement. I do appreciate the.
41:45
Competitiveness of Moto GP because you know when Mark
41:50
Marquez was winning 123 in a row or I think he skipped one it it
41:54
it was just kind of oh, Mark Marquez is going to win again
41:57
And then you know you had the pandemic happen and then you had
42:02
Mears coming win one and then you had Fabio coming win one and
42:06
then you know pecker coming win one.
42:08
So you know and and it's been and it's been getting exciting
42:11
and this one and and even the amount of races to like you know
42:14
I know as a as. The rider they're complaining
42:16
about not, not I wouldn't say complaining but they're doing
42:20
more races than they've done before and and it's a lot more
42:23
told obviously because of that but you know watching more races
42:29
I I love it from a fan perspective it's just like you
42:33
know we we literally get like maybe a month and a half two
42:36
months off before racing starts again and and and and if you're
42:40
if you're if you're if you're a fan that's that's that's
42:43
awesome. You know what I'm saying?
42:45
So we're we're loving it. Yeah.
42:48
I'm, I'm, I'm excited that this goes to like end of November,
42:52
you know, where like you said we got December, January, February.
42:56
But along those times there'll be testing and then March is
42:59
World Super Bike. And and March is also, yeah,
43:04
Moto GP does start in March and also as if we want to bring it
43:07
on our side, it's the Daytona. Yeah, Daytona 200, baby.
43:11
Yeah, yeah, that starts in March too.
43:13
So when that comes back or I'll be so excited, like yeah, I just
43:17
love bikes. No doubt.
43:19
So we're going to wrap this thing up, man, because I know we
43:21
can go on and on and top motorcycles all day long.
43:24
Do you have any prediction in Malaysia?
43:31
I don't have a prediction of who, but I say Ducati I I must
43:36
say probably I want to see Bazecki up there or.
43:40
I feel bad coming because. You know, go ahead and if you
43:46
want to switch up Ducati, I want to see Brad been the pull one
43:49
out. I mean he's been trying so hard.
43:51
I think he still has the momentum, but this is a fast
43:55
track. I mean the the KTMS are up there
43:59
with speed now with Ducati, so we don't have Suzuki out there
44:03
anymore to get blown down the straightaway.
44:06
Yeah, I'd say Bezaki or Brad Bender.
44:08
Yeah. You know, I I will say before I,
44:11
I, I, I'm, I'm leading the same way you know, I, I, I I think
44:15
Ducati and and KTM but I do want to you know Aprilia, the up and
44:22
down is is it's strange it's strange The up and down of
44:27
Aprilia is very strange I mean you know it it it's they they
44:33
they. They lack consistency.
44:37
You know, the chemical train breaking.
44:39
Yeah, it's it's it's just a it's just a lot.
44:42
And, you know, I mean, the the only person you can't really
44:46
pick at is Raul Fernandez, right?
44:50
That's the only person. But you look at Oliveira, who's
44:53
won races. Vinyala is who's won races not
44:58
it not on the Pearl year but one races and Alice who's won races.
45:02
It's it's it's so weird that they just, you know they're just
45:07
the the the inconsistency is is I don't understand it.
45:12
You know what I'm saying? Like, 'cause this is kind of
45:13
like yo man, y'all yo-yo y'all should be in the top 8
45:19
consistently. What about KTM?
45:22
I mean, Brad Bendis is consistent, yeah.
45:24
Yeah, they're more consistent. They're, they're they're they're
45:26
literally, they're not as consistent as Ducati because
45:29
they don't have enough KTMS on, on, on, on the grid, but they're
45:32
more consistent. They're like, so it's really
45:34
like Ducati, KTM, Aprilia, Yamaha, Honda.
45:43
They might be, they might even be hyphenated because, you know,
45:47
if you look at the podium between Fabio and and and Mark
45:50
Marquez, right, because they're only two that have podium, you
45:53
know what I'm saying? They might cancel each other out
45:56
as well. You don't say they're kind of
45:57
like at the same place. I think Honda's having the worst
46:01
year of all. No, no, no no Yamaha, Yamahas,
46:05
Yamahas, Yamahas, Yamahas have no worse worse year than than
46:08
Honda. They only got 2 bikes.
46:10
And yeah, they can't, they can't, they can't produce really
46:16
anything. Because Mark Marquez, Mark
46:18
Marquez is actually, I don't even know what the standing is,
46:21
but I think I I I got to assume Mark Marquez is higher in the
46:24
standings than than Fabio is right now.
46:26
And if he is, then then Yamaha is then then Honda is the better
46:30
bike. No, I'm the standings.
46:32
We got Fabio with 145 points. Mark Marquez has 81.
46:37
OK, so I all right. Yamaha in Yamaha in I I mean the
46:40
points disappointed. He has most falls this year.
46:44
Oh yeah and listen and I think every Honda rider fell a lot.
46:50
You know, Taka Mir Mir barely finished this whole season.
46:53
Mark Marquez is slide slide into Rossi's DM like bro.
47:00
Yeah, Ducati. You know what I'm saying?
47:02
How, how can I get, you know, like like, you know, can I get
47:05
to the Academy and ride with you guys?
47:07
Because all the all the, all, pretty much all the except for
47:10
Celestine. I know Celestine can probably be
47:12
on a Ducati too, because, but he's probably going to be on a
47:15
triumph or something, right Outside of Celestine and Minos,
47:20
everybody else is going to be on Ducati.
47:23
So my Marquez is going to be like, yo, can me and my brother
47:25
come over and hang out with you guys?
47:27
Amazano, You know, he's still going to feel like an outsider.
47:32
No I look you know, I I I don't think so right.
47:36
Because I think like Lorenzo he got humbled when he went to
47:40
Ducati and and I think after Marquez got hurt this last time
47:46
and was sidelined for so long, I think he he he he he's evolved
47:53
from the Mark Marquez he was. Who was never hurt is, is
47:56
essentially young and cocky right.
47:57
I mean that's what it is, right? Yeah.
47:58
I'm you know that's what it is right.
48:00
But you know when you when you have adversity like that it it
48:04
it makes you human again. You know, you know John
48:07
McGuinness you know you know all these all these top players when
48:11
when when they have when they have to do with adversity any
48:14
person really, right. We have to do with adversity.
48:17
You know it. It it makes if if you were an
48:21
asshole before you become a human being, and if you
48:24
overhuman. Before you become even more
48:26
empathetic. Right.
48:27
So you know, I so I like and I and I've seen that So like I
48:32
look at them now and and it's just like yeah, I know what you
48:35
did, but I you're learning. So I it is we as human beings we
48:39
all learn and evolve. So you can't hold, you know you
48:42
can't be mad at the younger version of people after they've
48:45
evolved. You know what I'm saying as a
48:48
fact. I know one thing before we go,
48:53
just looking at the standard since we brought it up, Since we
48:55
have a few races left, I love to see everyone at least score a
48:59
point. So right now equal lack of owner
49:02
has zero. Well, he he's in World Super
49:04
Bike, so unless somebody gets hit in Honda, he's done.
49:07
Yeah, and then we'll see. You never know.
49:10
And then Cal Crushaw, he has three.
49:14
These guys are still not really. Riding.
49:16
He only did one race, so there you go.
49:18
Yeah, that's that's good. Let's see who's still in it that
49:23
needs points like PO has 12, Mirror has 24 there.
49:27
You go. I was on mosquito screw, man.
49:29
He broke his jaw and Oh yeah, and.
49:33
Other things not Do you know what I'm saying?
49:36
So you know, I just said I'm getting like one point here and
49:39
there. I just like to see it mix up.
49:41
But look, man, it it's it's tough out there.
49:44
It it's exactly, you know, it could only be one number, one.
49:49
You know what I'm saying? If you want #2 and so forth,
49:53
it's it's it's when you're a second and and it's not like
49:55
it's crazy because you know, you think it's like, I don't know
49:58
how many riders are in there now.
49:59
But when you look at the qualifying times and these guys
50:02
are like, you know, 1 to 1 1/2 second apart and you're like the
50:06
25th guy or the 22nd guy and it's like you still got to hold
50:09
your head up, you know what I'm saying?
50:10
Because like, yo, you're not that bad.
50:14
Yeah, to to to your riding crew. But to your spectators, they're
50:19
like, he sucks. No, but you.
50:21
You you know not. He sucks.
50:24
But they are, they probably are doing that and which is the
50:26
downside because you know, the competition is so elite right
50:30
now. It's it's you know, you you you
50:34
you again. You know when I say Mark
50:36
Marquez. You know, being humble now and
50:39
stuff like that. We all human beings.
50:41
We all human beings. You got to look like, well, you
50:42
ever realize, like, yo, it's only a second, a second and a
50:45
half here We talking about here Like, I mean, that's a blanket
50:49
of an eye. You you, you got to, you know,
50:51
tone it down if you're a fan and you're mad at at the Fabio or
50:56
Frankie or one of these guys because yo, you're talking about
51:00
2425 guys in this case and and they're all fast.
51:06
And and and I think at this point it's really probably
51:09
machinery and and and and and your and your organization.
51:14
You know what I'm saying? Because I think all the riders,
51:16
all these riders are top riders. I mean, I think if you put all
51:19
these riders, you look at Moto 2 and we said this before, but
51:22
outside of the, you know, the frame situation with them, those
51:26
guys are the same way and and and so you know.
51:29
It really like these riders are all very talented and and the
51:34
difference is is really the the the how they interact with their
51:39
crew and what their crew do at the end of the day.
51:42
Because all these riders feel they can break lap records.
51:45
I I I think you really ask every rider.
51:47
They'll all believe they can break the lap record if they had
51:49
the right bike, that's for sure. It's all about their strategy
51:53
coming into a race weekend and just feeling good about
51:57
themselves. Yeah.
51:58
No doubt. So I'm I'm hoping Bazecki win
52:01
Malaysia that'll be good like I'm I'm I'm hoping that I'm
52:05
hoping Vanyalez is up there. I'm, you know, I'm rooting for,
52:11
obviously. Yes, I want Peco to win it all.
52:15
But you know these other riders like, you know, like we want,
52:20
like we're rooting for y'all. So you know, and then obviously
52:22
they're rooting for themselves, but you know it, it it like you
52:27
know, that's that. That's what I like to say.
52:29
I like to see if you always get one you know before the season
52:31
is up, you know time's running out.
52:34
So, you know, I like to see Alex Raines also win another or get
52:37
on the podium again. Oh, didn't he just win Austin
52:40
this year on a Honda? Well, yeah, we we just, you
52:43
know, haven't, you know, you haven't seen him that often, you
52:46
know, like you. Break your leg in two places.
52:48
You might not see me for like 5 years.
52:53
All right, I'm picking all the wrong names.
52:55
That's why I understand. But like like look to I don't
52:59
know if Mark Marquez has won this year.
53:01
Alice Rings Rings has won this year on a Honda.
53:06
And you know, granted, he was on the podium, but I don't think he
53:09
won. No.
53:11
Yeah. So you know what I'm saying?
53:13
And I'm a fan of Alex Wrens. And I think he's going to do, I
53:19
mean, he's out there. He broke his leg in two places.
53:22
They put him back out. There, if, if, if, in, in, in,
53:26
in, if we were to look at Moto 2, right, And you would just sit
53:30
here and go. Frankie Morbidelli, Fabio
53:34
Cuatorara. Alex Rennes, Bastianini, Jorge
53:39
Martin. Don't want to pick one more in
53:42
the Bazzacki. Like who's the better rider in
53:46
Moto 2. Like rinse it like rinse's like
53:49
what? Probably rinse it look like join
53:51
me like who was it like Frankie Moba Deli and Alex Rennes right.
53:55
Like Emoto 2. Like, you know what I'm saying?
53:59
But Moto GP is a different animal, and on a whole bunch of
54:01
different things. So does the Do I think that Alex
54:05
Renz has a talent? Yes I do because he he's been
54:08
fast from Moto 3, Moto 2 and Moto GP.
54:14
Yeah, it's unfortunate, just the injuries and like I said, I knew
54:17
it coming in with how many races they had to put up, is want to
54:23
see how how many races can withstand the full length of the
54:28
season. Yeah, yeah, no, that, that
54:30
that's that's the thing, man. It's it's adversity.
54:33
You know what I'm saying it it's it's like you're not going to
54:36
win a title in in in a in a weekend and it and it's how you
54:41
adjust, adapt evolve and grow and it's crazy and and you know
54:47
usually the factory people are the ones that have it under
54:50
control in a situation like this this.
54:53
If, oh hey, Martine wins the title, this might be the first
54:55
satellite team that's won a title, the Moto GP.
54:59
That'd be dope. You know what I'm saying?
55:01
And and so you know that's that's huge, very close.
55:05
I mean, granted he's on factory back, factory bike, factory
55:08
contract, but still satellite team.
55:12
Yeah, that is his 2nd place. So let me say the I wrote for
55:17
Bezaki as well and Bender, but I'm sure Martine and Pekko will
55:21
be up there too, so. The show must go on.
55:26
My name is Let's shout out all the sponsors before we get out
55:28
