On the eve of a Le Mans that looks like being affected by its usual fickle weather conditions, the Paddock Pass Podcast crew look ahead to the weekend to come. Steve English, Neil Morrison, and David Emmett are subjected to Adam Wheeler's fiendish GP quiz, while the foursome make comparisons, favorable and unfavorable, of the race with the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and what the race will be like without fans.

They discuss whether having no fans will relieve some of the pressure on the French favorites, Fabio Quartararo and Johann Zarco, and whether that means they can win there. We discuss why the track seems to favor the Honda and the Yamaha, and why two such diverse bikes should go so well, and we ask whether Ducati can disrupt their streak again this year. And they pick out who they think really has to win this weekend, to get their championship back on track.
