Paddock Pass Podcast Episode 397: Kevin Schwantz Interview, Plus Talking Points From COTA

By PPP Team |

Kevin Schwantz is a legend of grand prix motorcycle racing, and Neil and Adam had the opportunity to interview the ex-500cc champion to talk about his history, the state of racing in the US, and much more. And David, Adam, Neil and Steve look at some of the big stories to emerge from the Circuit Of The Americas. Does this mark a turning point for Maverick Viñales? Is the brake issue which caused Marc Marquez to crash out from the lead a sign that winning a title in a factory team is impossible? And what is going on with Honda? 

Paddock Pass Podcast Episode 395: Lawson? Rainey? Schwantz? Who Would Thrive In MotoGP Today

By PPP Team |

With the US round of MotoGP heaving into view, David, Neil, and Adam talk all things America. What impact will Liberty's acquisition of Dorna play in promoting MotoGP in the US? Are more US rounds incoming? Will Laguna Seca make a comeback? What prospects does the Flatrock Motorsports Park in Tennessee have? Which American giant from the 1980s and 1990s would have done best in the modern era of MotoGP? Would Lawson have been better than Rainey? Could Schwantz have killed it on a KTM?

We also have a discussion of why Fabio Quartararo stuck with Yamaha rather than risking jumping to a (potentially more competitive) bike. We give our favorite memories from US races in the past, and we offer our predictions for who will win at the Circuit Of The Americas.
