With Austin in the bag, the Paddock Pass Podcast crew gather in a rental apartment in East Austin to discuss an eventful race at the Circuit of The Americas. We talk about Alex Rins remarkable victory in Texas, and hear from his crew chief, Beefy Bourgignon, on how Rins makes the difference.

We discuss the many crashes at Austin, and the most important one of all, Pecco Bagnaia crashing out while leading. We wonder about the future of the race in Austin, and where else MotoGP might head to. And we discuss Yamaha's issues at COTA, and hear from Yamaha Managing Director Lin Jarvis on why they won't be building a V4 before the rules change in 2027. And we finish up, of course, with our winners and losers.
