Paddock Pass Podcast

In the latest episode of the Paddock Pass Podcast, Neil Morrison and David Emmett go over the events of a scintillating weekend at Assen. We start, naturally enough, with Valentino Rossi's win at the legendary Dutch track. We go over how Rossi won it, and compare this victory to his other historic wins. We contrast Rossi's victory at the track with his teammate's fate, Maverick Viñales crashing out of the race as he pushed to catch the leaders.

Naturally, we also compare the fortunes of the Ducatis. We wonder at Danilo Petrucci's transformation into a consistent podium threat, and discuss where it might have come from. We also discuss Andrea Dovizioso's measured race, his remarkable pace to catch the front group, yet his willingness to settle for points, which ultimately leaves him leading the championship.

The Paddock Pass Podcast is back, and this time, Neil Morrison and David Emmett have a double dose of Ducati domination to discuss. With Mugello and Barcelona being run back to back, the Paddock Pass Podcast boys compare and contrast the fortunes of the championship contenders in the two latest MotoGP races.

The latest (and slightly belated) episode of the Paddock Pass Podcast is out. In this edition, David Emmett quizzes Neil Morrison on his trip to Le Mans for the French round of MotoGP. It proved to be an extremely eventful race weekend indeed.

That leaves Neil and David with plenty to discuss. First, there was the changing weather, which made setting up for Sunday's race difficult. Then there was Jack Miller's humongous crash at Turn 3, from which he escaped miraculously almost unscathed. There was the scintillating battle of the Movistar Yamahas, from which Maverick Viñales emerged victorious and Valentino Rossi ended in the gravel. 

The latest episode of the Paddock Pass podcast is out, and features David Emmett and Steve English catch up after the last couple of rounds of World Superbikes, after both Assen and Imola. There was an awful lot to talk about, but the one subject we didn't discuss was Nicky Hayden's terrible cycling accident, which happened a day after we recorded. Please bear that in mind when you listen to the show. Naturally, our thoughts are with Nicky Hayden and his family, and we are hoping he makes a speedy recovery.

The Jerez round of MotoGP turned out very differently to the pundits' predictions, with victory for Dani Pedrosa and the Repsol Hondas while the Yamahas struggled badly. In the latest episode of the Paddock Pass Podcast, Neil Morrison and David Emmett discuss what turned into a very eventful weekend.

After a hiatus of a couple of weeks due to conflicting travel schedules, the Paddock Pass Podcast is back. This episode WorldSBK commentator Steve English takes a busman's holiday to visit Austin, and leads Neil Morrison and David Emmett in a discussion of events after the third round of MotoGP at the Circuit of The Americas.

MotoGP is back at last, and the season opener gave us all such a lot to talk about. Neil Morrison and David Emmett have a lot to cover in the latest episode of the Paddock Pass Podcast.

First, there was the rain, and the folly of organizing a night race in the desert during the "rainy season", however loosely that term may apply to Qatar. Then there was a spectacular and thrilling MotoGP race, with Johann Zarco leading early, Maverick Viñales winning on his first time out on the Yamaha, a podium that even Valentino Rossi didn't expect.

The latest episode of the Paddock Pass Podcast takes a look back at the two opening rounds of the World Superbike championship. Steve English, WorldSBK commentator extraordinaire, talks to David Emmett about the Philllip Island and Thailand rounds of WorldSBK. 

Though Jonathan Rea is dominating the series so far, the competition is still looking pretty tough. Chaz Davies is doing his best on the Ducati to make Rea's life a misery. Once he got his head round the new grid formation for the second race, Tom Sykes put up a pretty stiff challenge to his teammate. And returnee Marco Melandri is banishing any idea that he may be washed up, holding his own at the front.

With the 2017 MotoGP season rapidly approaching, it is fitting that the latest episode of the Paddock Pass Podcast should take a deep dive into the final MotoGP test of the preseason at Qatar. Hotfooting it from the desert, Neil Morrison talks to David Emmett about what he learned at the test. There was certainly a lot to talk about.

We are in the middle of testing season, and so after two MotoGP tests at two very different circuits, Neil Morrison and David Emmett sit down to go over the state of play in MotoGP. The big question from both Sepang and Phillip Island is whether Marc Marquez or Maverick Viñales is the favorite to emerge from preseason testing. Neil and David weigh the pros and cons, and go over the data from the test so far.
