With the 2025 MotoGP season upon us, Adam, David and Neil boldly go where no pundit has been foolish enough to go before, which is to say they put their cards on the table and make a bunch of rash predictions about the season. Who will be the 2025 champion? Who is going to be the disappointment of the year? Who is going to surprise us? Who will finish the season top rookie? Who will be the best rider for each of MotoGP's five factories? Which of the Moto2 riders will be moved up to MotoGP for 2026, and who of the current MotoGP riders should be fearing for their job?

In addition, David interviews Cristian Gabarrini, crew chief to Pecco Bagnaia, and a man who has worked with Casey Stoner and Marc Marquez before. Gabarrini looks back at the 2024 season and dissects what went wrong, what Pecco Bagnaia is working on for the 2025 season, and discusses dealing with the chatter that plagued the MotoGP bikes in 2024.
