MotoPG

There is racing motorcycles and then there is the Isle of Maan TT. It takes a special level of...what's the word...madness? Courage? Whatever it is Kev Stephens has it and he tells Borrie and Tug all about it ahead of lining up in one of the world's most famous motorcycle races in May. Tune in for a chat with a difference then go to Patreon and sign up for the Patreon Pit crew. Or go to Patreon first then listen. Or don't listen at all, just go to Patreon and sign up. Whatever you do, become a Patreon member because there are benefits and lots of them. mostly that it funnels money into our pockets. And really, isn't that the least you could do? Enjoy.

It's almost unheard of to hear from Mick Doohan (see what I did there?) so this episode is a rare opportunity to listen to one of the true greats of the sport. Doohan agreed to be part of a fundraising evening with friend of the pod Jacob Roulstone and our own Tug McClutchin was asked to MC/interview/conduct the chat. It's brilliant and we hope you enjoy it as much as Tug (and the crowd) did. And if you did, put your hand in your pocket and throw some financial love Jacob's way at www.jacobroulstone.com.

There's a theme developing in 2026 and after his suffering of the past few years it seems Borrie might be in for some relief. That's because Marc Marquez has so far been an afterthought while Aprilia - and especially Bez - run rampant. All three classes entertained and enthralled this week while the Bagger racing exceeded expectations. All in all, 2026 is looking pretty damn interesting. So do the following: go to Patreon and sign up for the Pit Crew then head back here and press play. Or press play before you go, that's totally up to you. Just make sure you do both. Off you go.

Well that was...something. MotoGP Season 2026 is nothing if not interesting as Aprilia emerge as the Ducati of this season and Ducati...well, they have their own problems. The track was short, crumbling and in the lead up was flooded but somehow the greatest sport in the world managed to put on an enthralling show. And what does this tell us about what to expect for the rest of the season? Not much yet but it's been a hell of a first chapter. The boys break all that down plus there's all your favourite spots...Freido's Horoscope, Borrie's poem and an update from Dear George about what really happened between Mr Five Times and Batmav. Ep 195 is a good one but it's even better on Patreon so go there and sign up to pay us some money every month. You get bonus content, the chance to win prizes from top brands like Shoei and Dianese but most importantly you will be paying us. And ultimately, isn't that what it's all about?

It's back, bitches, and it's already glorious. The 2026 Moto GP season couldn't have got off to a better start with storylines aplenty both on and off the track. With Baby Jeebus taking it to Marc Marquez, Bez doing what we know Bez can do and not a single Ducati on the podium it was a hell of a teaser for the year to come. The boys wrap up all that plus introduce some new segments (Jack's Toprak report is looking like it will be a regular highlight) and of course, the old favourites like Borrie's poem and Simone Flatterson's Grid Girl Critique. There's only one way you could make it any better and that's to join our Patreon Pit crew which does two things: gives us money (most important) and makes YOU one of the cool kids eligible to win great prizes from Shoei, Dainese and more. So go sign up for that then come back here and press play. Or press play then go and sign up. Doesn't matter how you do it just do it. Enjoy!
