Paddock Pass Podcast

It is hard to pick the best MotoGP season ever, but at the top of the list has to be the 2006 championship. Heated rivalries, close battles, a first-time champion, the 990cc bikes...it had it all. Come join Neil, David, and Steve in talking about this grand prix classic.

It's an all-hands-on-deck show in this episode, as we take a break from our usual motorcycle racing coverage, and talk a bit about how the Paddock Pass Podcast came to be, and who the people are behind the microphones.

Neil and Steve sit down with Grand Prix racing legend Freddie Spencer, and talk about a number of things, including the Daytona 200, the Honda NS500, Freddie's last-lap incident with Kenny Roberts Sr. at the 1983 Swedish GP, and when he won both the 500cc and 250cc races in the same day in the Italian GP at Mugello.

In this show, Steve, David, and Neil focus on one rider, and one rider only. Talking only about Fabio Quartararo, the Paddock Pass Podcast crew talks to the people around the French sensation to see why he has risen so quickly in the MotoGP Championship.

In this special episode of the Paddock Pass Podcast, we take a look at the differences between the engines in the WorldSBK paddock - especially the differences between the inline-four and V4 motors. To help add some insights, Steve and Gordo also get the perspectives of Leon Haslam, Eugene Laverty, and Michael Laverty.

David and Neil talk about an odd Qatar GP, where only the Moto2 and Moto3 races took place. Also, we get some behind the scenes info on how the coronavirus is affecting the grand prix paddock, which as you can tell from what's happened since this recoringd, is changing rapidly each day.

David and Neil discuss what we can learn from the MotoGP preseason test in Qatar. Of note though, this episode was recorded before the round at Losail was canceled for the MotoGP riders, so there are some mentions of the race there, which are obviously no longer accurate. Still, the show is packed full of good insights, and we think you will enjoy it.

The WorldSBK season is underway, which means Steve and Gordo come to us from Phillip Island to start the season off. The Australian round showed some amazing racing, which you definitely won't want to miss, and you certainly will want to get the post-race debrief from the fellas as well.

Steve and Gordo report from Phillip Island, just ahead of the start of the season, to give us an idea of what to expect at the Australian round. This show also includes a special interview with Jonathan Rea, which you won't want to miss.

David and Steve give us a preview of what to look for at the MotoGP preseason test at Qatar.

David is joined by special Manuel Pecino, as they discuss the happenings at the Sepang MotoGP test in Malaysia. We think you will find Manuel's insights to be very interesting.
