Paddock Pass Podcast

The Paddock Pass Podcast is back with another episode. On the Monday after the Grand Prix of the Americas, Neil Morrison, Jensen Beeler, and David Emmett huddled round their microphones in a hotel room in Austin to discuss the race that happened on Sunday.

The latest episode of the Paddock Pass Podcast is out. In episode #70, Neil Morrison, Steve English, and David Emmett join a conversation across three countries and two continents to discuss a chaotic and controversial Argentinian round of MotoGP.

There was an awful lot to talk about, but the boys tried to break it down into three different talking points, and cover the ground that way. First up is Valentino Rossi's accusation that Marc Marquez was "destroying the sport". Is Marquez really destroying MotoGP, and just how many rules did the Spaniard break on Sunday in Argentina? And how did his misdemeanors compare with that of Johann Zarco, who ran Dani Pedrosa wide, the Repsol Honda finally crashing and breaking his wrist.

The Paddock Pass Podcast is back with another episode, and in a slightly different format. In this edition, Neil Morrison and David Emmett walk through the biggest talking points that arose from the MotoGP season opener at Qatar.

First up, they discuss whether Marc Marquez vs Andrea Dovizioso will be the defining battle of the 2018 season. Next, they consider whether the Yamaha is as bad as it was in testing, or as good as it was in the Qatar race, and which way the series will fall. After that, Neil and David turn their attention to the coming madness of Silly Season, with so many riders possibly going to swap bikes. They wrap up the show by discussing their winners and losers from Qatar, and from the preseason testing leading up to Qatar.

The Paddock Pass Podcast is back with another episode, and this one is a real treat, with another special guest. At Qatar, Paddock Pass Podcast regular Neil Morrison is joined by veteran globetrotting Spanish journalist Manuel Pecino, to discuss the state of play after the Buriram and the Qatar tests.

Manuel adds even more depth to Neil's incisive analysis of testing, and the pair get into the details of where the various factories stand. They start off with Yamaha, and ponder how the once-dominant factory seems to have lost its way, with the exception of Johann Zarco on the satellite bike. They take a long hard look at what has happened, and how Valentino Rossi and Maverick Viñales seem to be taking the bike in two different directions.

The Paddock Pass Podcast is back, reporting direct from Sepang with a new guest. On Tuesday evening after the test, David Emmett sat down with respected French journalist Thomas Baujard, who works for the French magazine Moto Journal, to discuss what happened in the test.

Tom and David go through the factories one by one, and assess where they stand after the first test of the year. They start off talking about the Sepang track, and how the new surface is ageing, and finally starting to dry more quickly. Then they get on to discuss Ducati, and how the Gigi Dall'Igna's engineers have managed to solve at least part of the turning problem for the GP18, and how that has helped make both Andrea Dovizioso and Jorge Lorenzo extremely competitive.

With testing due to kick off in Sepang in just over a week, the latest episode of the Paddock Pass Podcast takes a look back at the highlights and lowlights of the 2017 MotoGP season. The PPP Posse™ - Steve English, Neil Morrison, and David Emmett - gathered at the Barcelona Superpresitigio to break down the year into five categories.

Though 2018 has begun, the Paddock Pass Podcast is still catching up with the tail end of 2017. In the latest episode, Steve English and David Emmett chat about how testing went before the winter break kicked in on 1st December.

With the most important part of the WorldSBK grid assembled at Jerez, it seemed like a good time to go over the 2017 WorldSBK season. No one knows the World Superbike paddock quite like Steve English, so David Emmett submits him to a grilling over the events of the past year, and how he sees the future, while David tries not to make too many stupid remarks.

Obviously, the main topic of discussion was Jonathan Rea, and how he dominated. But there was plenty more to talk about too. We discussed Chaz Davies and Ducati, and how hard Davies had to work to keep up. We mull Marco Melandri's return to WorldSBK, and whether he has lived up to expectations.

The latest episode of the Paddock Pass Podcast sees Steve English, Neil Morrison, and David Emmett sit down at Valencia to discuss a thrilling season finale, and how the title decider played out. Naturally, there was plenty to talk about, given all of the shenanigans in the race and throughout the weekend.

There was a lot of ground to cover. We talk about Marc Marquez' season, and how he clinched a record-breaking fourth premier title at the tender age of 24. We wonder if it is too early to start trying to measure his greatness against the greats of old, and whether such comparisons are valid.

The latest episode of the Paddock Pass Podcast is out. Jensen Beeler steps in for David Emmett, and picks the mighty brain of Neil Morrison on the Aragon round of MotoGP, and takes a look back at how the season is developed.

In an interesting and wide-ranging conversation, Jensen and Neil talk about Valentino Rossi's return from injury, and the will and determination it takes to put in the effort to make that possible. They talk about Marc Marquez' domination, and the improvements made in the second half of the season.
