WorldSBK at Phillip Island treated us to some of the closest racing we've seen from that paddock for a decade. Toprak Razgotlioglu, Johnny Rea, and Alex Lowes all took home wins. With Scott Redding bagging three 3rds and Michael Van Der Mark close behind, the championship is tight for the top 5. Hopefully this is a preview of things to come for the entire year and we get a 3-4 horse race for the 'ship. Unfortunately, amazing racing in Australia isn't the biggest story of the week. The global health crisis has caused cancellations and postponements throughout international sports competition. Dorna Sports has cancelled the Qatar GP for the MotoGP class because of a 2-week quarantine for anyone that has recently been in Italy - which of course is likely half the paddock. Thankfully Moto2 and Moto3 teams were already in Qatar from their winter test and can race. The Thai GP and Qatar WSBK round are both postponed. We have no idea where things will go from here. Aside from all that serious stuff, this episode was nuts. Join us live next time to get in the middle of all these antics. #toprakwins #motogpcancelled #brotogp Visit <a href="https://www.brotogp.com" rel="noopener">https://www.brotogp.com</a> for BGP Swag Visit <a href="https://www.riderzlaw.com" rel="noopener">https://www.riderzlaw.com</a> to contact Sy and Lawyer Rob for all your legal needs

WorldSBK was Amazing, MotoGP is Cancelled! | Ep. 131

February 2020 is here, which means MotoGP bikes on track for pre-season testing. There has been a lot of racing news over the past month or two. Here's our highlights. Andrea Iannone still isn't riding because his B-sample failed. His lawyers are doing there thing and he might still race this year. Jorge Lorenzo is back on a Yamaha and many are stoked about it. Of course, the Yamaha won testing again. The Dorna Media Machine is making it painfully clear that Marquez's shoulder isn't 100% - BrotoGP isn't sure it'll matter by Valencia. Lastly, Michelin threw a wrench into the entire 2020 season with a new rear tire - Hooray! BrotoGP will be live on Youtube for many of our recordings. Check our social media to join in the fun. Sorry about the delay in posting this - new software brings new issues.

Do you take supplements? Are you absolutely certain there are no illicit or banned substances in them? How do you know? Andrea Iannone has almost failed a drug test, with his A-sample containing an anabolic steroid. BrotoGP has no idea what's going to happen to his career just yet. But first, Kev wants to set a few things straight. #1 - Its very possible to unknowingly consume a tainted supplement. #2 - PEDs would benefit motorcycle racing in more ways than you might think. This goes deep. After that, we hit up MotoAmerica's loss of the Yoshimura team, their replacement, and what this means for MotoAmerica. Then we talk about the new Superbike Cup and how its going to benefit the Superbike class and MotoAmerica as a whole.

The end of the 2019 MotoGP season brought a big surprise. Jorge Lorenzo announced his retirement after a string of crashes, injuries, and poor results on the Repsol Honda. Fabio Quartararo was once again unable to beat Marc Marquez in a race. This along with all the hype has Rob digging into stats. Alex Marquez was quickly announced as Jorge's replacement, to no one's surprise and to lots of complaints.

We've had to wait quite a while, but it might have been worth it. We also cover Fabio and his disappointment, Alex Marquez's Moto2 title, and some other Yamaha topics.

Maverick vs Marquez, Finally! - P.I. & Sepang '19 | Ep. 127

BrotoGP is here to wax poetically about the most exciting things in motorcycle racing. The Japanese GP at Motegi was not one of those. Thankfully we are gifted with a new British Superbike Champ in Scott Redding. Leon Camier and Barni racing gets a little air-time. We cover the "fiasco" that was Race 1 of the WSBK Argentina round in San Juan, based on the little information that we have. And we finally talk about Johann Zarco riding for HRC for the 3 season-ending races. Phillip Island is up tomorrow so listen to this ASAP.

Scott Redding wins BSB, Other Stuff Happened - Motegi '19 | Ep. 126

We're back and not much has changed since we last recorded. The 2019 MotoGP championship is sealed with Marquez finishing in front of Dovisiozo. Fabio Quatararo almost won that race just like Kev almost didn't mini-rant this episode. But the real meat and potatoes of this podcast is two points: 1. What's more exciting - good races and a boring championship OR bland races and an exciting championship? 2. Garrett Gerloff is going to race in WorldSBK Kyle Wyman joins us and bring a lot of insight about some of the racers, especially Gerloff. Of course we talk about the past and future of MotoAmerica with another American going to the world stage. Some of us have high hopes for him and that GRT Yamaha team.

Garrett Gerloff is more exciting than Marc Marquez - Thailand '19 | Ep. 125

MotoGP is back from the summer break and Marc Marquez did the thing in Brno. Ya - the weather was tricky. Ya - Zarco put it on the front row. Ya - Cal was mean to Taka. Ya - Rins got mad.

Marquez Did The Thing, BGP Really Tries - Brno '19 | Ep. 123

Is Maverick Vinales back? Is Yamaha back? They won at Assen again. Sorry, BrotoGP is going with a bit fat "nope". He might show well at Sachsenring, but don't expect regular podiums or wins from him for most of the 2nd half of the season. MotoE is HERE! We spend quite a bit of time giving you a little preview of what to expect, what's different, and how we think it will go. Kev thinks that one of MotoE biggest fake issues right now might be there largest strength - a lack of noise. Check it out. KTM and Zarco's woes get a bit more air time. Ya Zarco gave up during the race at Assen, pulling in "before things got dangerous".

BrotoGP does record when Marc Marquez wins! MotoGP was back at one of my favorite tracks - Catalunya - but Jorge Lorenzo ruined most of the race. Kev lays out how you might be feeling about him losing ground on becoming our antihero. Jorge, you could have been Deadpool! After that, we jump into Fabio Quartararo vs Casey Stoner. I'll say it right now, Fabio is looking better than Stoner right now. We cover their rookie years and talk about LCR vs Petronas SRT. Gotta love that oil money. Lastly, we go over the historic Dutch TT and why Kev thinks they should still race on Saturday. #jorgelorenzocrash #fabiovscasey #motogp Visit <a href="https://shop.brotogp.com" rel="noopener">https://shop.brotogp.com</a> for BGP Swag Visit <a href="https://www.riderzlaw.com" rel="noopener">https://www.riderzlaw.com</a> to contact Sy and Lawyer Rob for all your legal needs

Jorge Lorenzo Isn't Your Antihero - Catalunya '19 | Ep. 121

We start this one off with a topic you might not expect... Jorge Lorenzo. Jorge Lorenzo isn't exactly setting the grid on fire with his performances on the RC213V. It might be considered the best bike in MotoGP, but he simply cannot ride it well enough. But that doesn't mean Jorge is going to be dropped from the team (early). Mugello was the culmination of a life's work for Danilo Petrucci and it showed on his face in parc ferme. A win on your home soil, in front of all those fans, against the best-of-the-best, with 0 asterisks has got to feel amazing. Did you know he almost quit GP entirely... twice? Danilo is a beast and we are so lucky to get to see this moment. Andrea Dovizioso was given a lot of credit for Petrucci's win - by Petrucci himself. And its odd in the hyper-competitive environment of MotoGP to HELP your teammate beat you. But it happened. So we have to wonder why. Is Dovizioso training his teammate in an effort to beat Marquez for the title? Someone needs to finish between Dovi and Marc - Petrucci might be the best candidate. The Mugello race showed once again that Alex Rins has what it takes to fight for wins. The Suzuki and Rins are maximizing their strengths of turning and tire conservation and minimizing their weakness of HP - and we really mean "minimizing", see Yamaha's woes. Because of all this, we thankfully have a 3rd rider spicing up the championship. Rins will take more points off of Marquez later this season - he should be worried. Its hard to get BrotoGP to talk about Yamaha in MotoGP, especially with Rossi crashing out of his home race at Mugello. I don't want to deb the whole thing, but the story is old. They still don't have a handle on their electronics. Their HP deficit seems to be growing year after year. They are definitely the 4th-best bike on the grid. Perhaps Mugello 2019 can be their low point and we'll have something positive to say next time out. Rider safety in MotoGP is thankfully something that isn't taken lightly. So when Valentino Rossi and Marc Marquez call for changes to the icon Mugello Grand Prix circuit to make it safer, people listen. Yet is that really the best solution here? The braking zone for turn 1 is less safe because the GP bikes are almost at 360kph. So why not just slow them down?

Petrucci, Ducati, and Life-Long Dreams - Mugello 2019 | Ep. 120

There were a trio of Ducati's near the front of Le Mans and two of them are building a massive rivalry for that factory seat - Petrucci and Miller. This race goes to Petrux. But we'll be keeping an eye on both of them, on and off-track. Kev shares an amazing story about pizza. Then we dive into the surprise of Fabio and the disappointment of Mav, building our own rivalry for them. We jump into some cognitive dissonance to make unsurprising wins a little more exciting. Then we finish this one off with all the drama and surprise surrounding KTM, Pol, and Zarco. Oh, and we talk about hype, spoilers, and the announcers - good and bad.

New Rivalries Heat Up at Le Mans 2019 - Ep. 119

GP made it back to Europe for the Jerez round. Classically, this means the factory teams and the championship contenders start gapping the rest of the field... but that isn't exactly what happened. Marquez still did his thing after HRC convinced him the COTA crash was the bike's fault. But we had plenty of surprises from Quartararo, Morbidelli, and Vinales. And there were a few "1-star reviews" on top of that with disappointments from Jorge, Dovisiozo, and even Rossi. On top of that, KTM and Zarco are making plenty of headlines for the wrong reasons.
