Paddock Pass Podcast

After a huge weekend at the Grand Prix of Europe at Valencia, the Paddock Pass Podcast crew gather to discuss the events which saw Joan Mir take a big step towards the MotoGP title in 2020. Steve English, Neil Morrison, and David Emmett give their view on how the weekend shook out.

With the penultimate triple header in the books, the Paddock Pass Podcast crew take a look back at what could end up being a crucial Teruel round of MotoGP at the Motorland Aragon circuit. Steve English, Neil Morrison, and David Emmett look at how the second round at Aragon played out.

After yesterday's Estoril WorldSBK show, today we have a MotoGP edition of the Paddock Pass Podcast, looking back at the Aragon round. This episode we have a special guest, as MotoGP photographer Cormac Ryan Meenan joins the show, to add his unique and fascinating insights to those of Neil Morrison and David Emmett.

The WorldSBK championship has come to an end, with Jonathan Rea clinching his sixth title in succession at the final round in Estoril. That means it's time for the Paddock Pass Podcast WorldSBK Dynamic Duo to take a look back at the season, and how it all played out. Steve English and Gordo Ritchie have a lot to talk about.

The French Grand Prix at Le Mans was as weird and wonderful as you might expect, the first wet race in a long time, with a popular winner and a surprise podium. In the latest episode of the Paddock Pass Podcast, Neil Morrison and David Emmett try to make sense of it all, and what it means for the championship.

We kick off with a discussion of how the weather affected the race, and especially how it turned tire choice into a gamble, but one which produced a popular winner. We talk about Danilo Petrucci's victory, and Alex Marquez getting on the podium. We talk about how the rain doomed Jack Miller's race, forcing him to use an engine which had already developed a problem.

A soaking wet weekend of WorldSBK left Steve English and Gordon Ritchie a lot to talk about on the latest episode of the Paddock Pass Podcast. Steve and Gordo chat about how the weather affected the races, and what effect it had on pushing the title decision to the final round of the year at Estoril. They talk about how the additional grip of a new surface made for better racing in the wet, and perhaps made it harder for Jonathan Rea to wrap up the title in France.

The MotoGP race in Barcelona shook the tree of the 2020 championship, allowing a couple of riders to ascend and others to tumble to the ground. That gave Steve English, Neil Morrison, and David Emmett plenty to discuss on the latest episode of the Paddock Pass Podcast.

At a track notoriously tough on tires, the weather conditions played an outsized role, and we start off with a look at the decision which led to riders being caught between the soft and medium fronts. The conditions also caused a few crashes, including by Valentino Rossi, and we debate whether this could have been Rossi's last chance of a win in MotoGP.

It has been a busy week in the world of world championship motorcycle racing, with both WorldSBK and MotoGP on last weekend. After the Misano 2 MotoGP podcast released earlier this week, there is a second helping of Paddock Pass Podcast for you, this time with Steve English and Gordon Ritchie discussing how the series' first visit to the Circuit de Catalunya in Montmelo near Barcelona played out.

Another MotoGP race, another Paddock Pass Podcast. Freshly returned from Misano, Neil Morrison talks to David Emmett about yet another weird weekend of racing for MotoGP. We start off with Maverick Viñales remarkable turnaround, from despair on Friday to victory on Sunday, and discuss if we can draw any conclusions about Viñales' title chances from this performance.

The San Marino Grand Prix at Misano threw the 2020 MotoGP championship yet another curveball, producing the fifth winner in six races and the fourth first-time victor in the premier class. On Tuesday, the Paddock Pass Podcast crew gathered remotely to chew over the events of the weekend. David Emmett and Steve English talk to our man on the ground, Neil Morrison, about a wild Misano weekend.
