While WorldSBK has been testing, MotoGP is still in the middle of launch season. Adam Wheeler headed over to Los Angeles to attend the Trackhouse Racing MotoGP launch (and to catch a round of Supercross while he was at it), and told Neil Morrison and David Emmett all about it afterward. While he was out there, he grabbed 15 minutes with team manager Wilco Zeelenberg, as well as a few words with Miguel Oliveira and Raul Fernandez.

Adam, Neil, and David chew over what Adam learned in LA and discuss the challenge facing Trackhouse. They also talked about the GASGAS Tech3 launch, now in Red Bull colors, and the prospects for Pedro Acosta and Augusto Fernandez. And they take a quick look ahead to the MotoGP shakedown test in Sepang.
