Paddock Pass Podcast

The latest episode of the Paddock Pass Podcast comes to you from the balcony of a Tuscan villa overlooking the city of Florence, and comes complete with an acoustic backdrop of birds, motorcycles, and rather fittingly for Mugello, a chainsaw being fired up. Gathered around the table to discuss the events and fallout of the Italian Grand Prix at Mugello were Neil Morrison, David Emmett, and special guest Adam Wheeler, editor of the excellent On Track Off Road.

We start off with a discussion of Jorge Lorenzo's stunning victory at Mugello, and how it came about. We talk about his new fuel tank, and the tension in the Ducati squad, and how the situation affected Andrea Dovizioso. We then go on to talk about Marc Marquez, and what his crash did to the championship. We have a quick discussion about the booing of Marquez, and its place in MotoGP.

The latest episode of the Paddock Pass Podcast is out, and in this edition, Neil Morrison and Steve English catch up with the events of the Le Mans MotoGP round and take a broad overview of the happenings in WorldSBK. After a quick recap of the on track events at the French Grand Prix, Neil and Steve turn their attention to the wildness that is the current state of MotoGP's Silly Season. A few key signings have unleashed a barrage of rumors, and the boys dissect what may and may not be happening in that regard.

The latest episode of the Paddock Pass Podcast is out, and it features a bumper crop of guests. Regulars Neil Morrison and David Emmett were joined by top French journalist Thomas Baujard of Moto Journal, and MXGP expert Adam Wheeler, who runs the outstanding On Track Off Road website. After the dramatic race at Jerez, they had a lot to talk about.

First up, the guys walk through the dramatic events at Jerez, focusing especially on the three-rider pile up involving Jorge Lorenzo, Dani Pedrosa, and Andrea Dovizioso. We talk about the fall out from that crash, about Marc Marquez' comfortable victory, and how the crash flattered the finishing positions of the remaining riders.

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.
