Another day, another episode of the Paddock Pass Podcast. Adam Wheeler, David Emmett and Neil Morrison chew over the events of the Valencia test, including an assessment of Marc Marquez' first outing on the Ducati, and Pedro Acosta's impressive debut on the Tech3 GasGas. We also discuss Honda's prospects with their new MotoGP bike, what Yamaha have changed, and whether it is enough, and whether we should take Maverick Viñales topping the timesheets in Valencia seriously.

We also take a look at the arrival of a new team in MotoGP to take the place of RNF, and why so many sponsors in motorsports are opaque at best. And Adam sits down for a long interview with Freddie Spencer, to look back at 40 years of the American winning his first 500cc title in 1983.
