Joan Mir now has one hand on the trophy after the Valencia #1 race. Yamaha was caught cheating just before, which turned out to NOT be the worst part of their weekend. And the rest of the grid showed they aren't championship ready - except Alex Rins of course.#yamahacheats #suzukiwins #motogpVisit https://www.brotogp.com for BGP SwagVisit https://www.riderzlaw.com to contact Sy and Lawyer Rob for all your legal needs

Ducati racers choked and the championship has now swung back in favor of Yamaha and Suzuki - yes Suzuki. Fabio Quartararo is the winningest rider this year, but Joan Mir is coming for him. Dennis and Kev get into a heated debate over the best bike on the grid - Yamaha or Suzuki. One side looks at the numbers and the other goes off emotion, and you might be surprised which is which. And of course, we discuss...

But once again, we were treated to more than a few surprises with this race.We covered a lot of topics during this episode - KTM vs Suzuki again, the "real" season started at Misano, the effects of COVID and a missing Marquez, Alex Marquez's issues in GP, Maverick's woes, and Dovi's retirement questions. But the main topic is of course Franco Morbidelli, Rossi's legacy, and the VR46 Rider Academy.#francomorbidelliwins...
2020-09-171h 47BrotoGPRed Flag Chaos During MotoGP - Austria GP 1&2 | Ep. 137The uncertainty of MotoGP races in 2020 is insane. The crash during Austria #1 was scary. The rest of the racing, especially Austria #2 was exciting to say the least. Andrea Dovisioso wins within 24 hours of telling Ducati to kick rocks. Joan Mir shows Jack Miller the best line on the final lap. Red flags impacted EVERYTHING. Miguel Oliveira stole the show from both Miller and Pol Espargaro. Oh, and did we mention that Marc Marquez won't be back for a while? We can only hope this insanity continues for the rest of the year.#ktmagain #doviziosowins #migueloliveirawinsVisit...

GP hit their 2 track (3 round) of the year at Brno this past weekend. As with life right now, it was NUTS! If you haven't seen the race yet, go watch it NOW! Here are the quick talking points:- Brad Binder and KTM Won a GP Race. - Johann Zarco put a 3rd-tier Ducati on the podium even after a bullshit penalty. - Franco Morbidelli rode like a boss and finally defeated his teammate (and all the other Yamahas). ...

Jerez 2 | Ep. 135I doubt anyone would have guessed that the (first) Andalucian GP at Jerez would be MORE action packed than last weekend's shocking result. There was no race for the lead, but the rest of the pack more than made up for it. There were tons of passes, lots of mistakes, mechanicals, and so many crashes that we had to cringe.

The track was baking, the teams were on the back-foot, and the riders said this would be one of the most difficult races ever. Some racers were caught out as early as Saturday.

It was definitely fun - but you know Kev had something to rant about. This episode then flows into any topic you can think of. The most relevant topic might be the idea that wishing for pro sports in a normal world might not be the best thing right now. The cutest topic might have been 'cats'. The most off the wall-topic is the surprising and newly formed BrotoGP Book Club. The most entertaining topic might be what classic races should you watch...
2020-04-061h 42BrotoGPWorldSBK was Amazing, MotoGP is Cancelled! | Ep. 131WorldSBK 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.

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...

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...

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.

So we finally get a real battle between Maverick Vinales and Marc Marquez. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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...
2019-06-261h 22BrotoGPPetrucci, Ducati, and Life-Long Dreams - Mugello 2019 | Ep. 120We 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.

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...

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. Enjoy.#FabioQuartararoPole #PetronasYamahaSRT...
2019-05-091h 33BrotoGPMusings about WorldSBK, Alex Marquez, and Cats - Ep. 117WorldSBK is at a crossroads right now. Bautista is winning everything (literally) and bringing more eyes to the series. But if he keeps doing it, will they stay? Rea and Kawi may fight back, but that arms race is going to leave other factories behind. Kev has a solution, but its probably not what you think. We spend some time talking about Moto2 talent as well. Tom Luthi is showing he's the true Gatekeeper in Moto2, Schrotter has upgraded to Journeyman, Baldassarri is true talent, and the rest... well you'll see. You just might root for Alex Marquez...
2019-05-021h 25BrotoGPRins 'Rins' at COTA, Marquez Crashes - Ep. 116MotoGP at Circuit of the Americas gave all the fans plenty of surprises. Rins' talent and Suzuki's development have been confirmed with their first win together, Suzuki's first since Vinales left the team. America fans were able to see Rossi back on the box. And Jack Miller showed us that he can ride the Pramac Ducati in the dry like the best Pramac riders before him - with a few extra f-bombs.But that's not all. Marquez may have showed us that if he doesn't practice crashing (in practice), he may not be able to accomplish those amazing...

But one of them has the most patience and the best drive. The race was phenomenal for all the tactics and the battles between a large group with some unexpected riders. We expected the group, but who knew that Rins, Cal, and Mir would be there, everything considered. Rossi and Jorge's performances are applauded as well, though maybe for different reasons than you might think.Of course, that wasn't the biggest story all weekend. Ducati came out swinging at Qatar with innovations that are pushing...
2019-03-141h 34BrotoGPHas Ducati Put WorldSBK in a Sticky Situation? - Ep. 114Its official - Ducati has built an almost-GP bike for racing in WSBK and its amazing already. Alvaro Bautista trounced the field at Phillip Island, winning all three races. The only thing he did "bad" was his Superpole lap. But what does this mean for WorldSBK? We are going to love seeing someone else have a real shot at the title against Rea and Kawasaki. What about Davies, Rinaldi, and Laverty? What about next year? What about all the private teams? What about selling homologation specials? Its the start of the year and there are lots of questions.

Aleix Trabat would like to welcome you to our newest segment - Broto Jeopardy. This first one keeps it light, but someone dominates the board.Winter seems to be going well for the top 4 Ducati riders, especially Pecco. Kev has found new hope that there will be some new excitement in the GP class. After that, we discuss the wounded racers riding for HRC. So far its 2-1 that Cal will get the short end of the stick with his near...
2019-02-2159 minBrotoGPTorque is the BEST Motorcycle Movie'Torque' is the best motorcycle movie out. A blockbuster from 2004, it has everything you could want in a motorcycle movie - the lifestyle, the care-free attitude, the bikes, the Road Rash fighting, the drugs, the wheelie battles... wait wut? Ok, racing hasn't kicked off yet for 2019. But some fans have missed us. So here's more BrotoGP poetry about why 'Torque' is the best motorcycle movie... or maybe the worst. You decide.
2019-02-0148 minBrotoGPWhy You Might Be Wrong About Legend Dani Pedrosa - Ep. 112Dani Pedrosa is a MotoGP Legend. He might be lacking a premier class championship, but he's still one of the most successful racers of all time. Of course, his induction into the MotoGP Legends has stirred up some controversy. Kev isn't having this. So here's his thesis on why you might be wrong about Dani's Legend status.#danipedrosa26 #motogplegend #brotogp
2018-12-171h 20BrotoGPWet Valencia 2018 Defies Expectations - Ep. 111Valencia was WET and our expectations were thrown out the window. All three races were crash-filled sufferfests, but that really helped a few performances to stand out. We start off with Suzuki, Rins, and their new found consistency on the podium. Then we move onto KTM, their investment, and the results they've achieved so far in all classes. Then we get into the bad. Will Marquez's shoulder injuries end his career? And if so, will it be quick or slow? Lastly, we finish off with a few random things like Redding and Iannone's antics and Kev's Moto2 dream coming true.
2018-11-211h 32BrotoGPSyahrin Delights, Rossi Disappoints - Ep. 110You can probably already guess that BrotoGP is a little bit sad over Rossi's crash. We were robbed of a good finish to all the tension that had been building over the race. So this episode goes a little different than normal. We start with a quick race recap. But then things get more philosophical. Nostalgia and how its affecting motorcycle racing as a whole is the big topic here. I was disappointed that Rossi crashed, but also not as surprised as I should have been. I'm also not surprised that WSBK will feature more old talent than...
2018-11-071h 29BrotoGPEveryone Crashed at Phillip Island - Ep. 109Crashes at Phillip Island had a huge impact on the weekend and the race. But before we get there, Kevin has a great idea for the 2019 MotoGP calendar. We go way off topic for a bit talking about championship excitement. Then we get to all those crashes. Dani was so sad, Cal got hurt, and thankfully Marquez and Zarco's crash wasn't worse. Because all those riders were out, Yamaha got a gift in the race - or did they? Then we jump over to something we've never discussed before - Alvaro Bautista. He did some amazing things on a Factory...
2018-11-011h 06BrotoGPMarquez's Worst Celebration EVER - Ep. 108A MotoGP title decider has never before left such a sour taste in our mouths. Dovi went down, further adding to the mistakes that allowed Marquez to seal the deal so soon. But we don't spend much time on that. Instead, Kev gets to rant about Marquez's insincere title and win celebration. We ain't that mad about the 8-bit thing. We mad about everything else. Aside from that, Rob gets to talk about rules concerning Lorenzo's replacement and Fabio's disqualification. We again talk about the 3rd-best bike on the grid: Suzuki or Yamaha? And we even cover American Road Racing...
2018-10-241h 25BrotoGPValentino Rossi Did What in Thailand? - Ep. 107Valentino Rossi managed to double Yamaha's number of laps led in Thailand. Isn't that... sad? Our expectations for the Yamaha factory team have always been higher. So its not surprising that we are a bit disappointed that's the only notable thing they've been able to accomplish lately. We cover that for a bit, even through some technical difficulties. Our other main story is how Michelin and the Thailand heat and track layout affected the racing. All the riders struggled with rear tire durability and grip like never before, wearing out their rear tires even in the center. Thankfully, all this...
2018-10-101h 14BrotoGPAna Carrasco Wins Like a Girl & Iannone Podiums - Ep. 106Since we failed at recording last week, we've got twice as much to cover with Aragon MotoGP AND Magny-Cours WSBK. We cover the highlights, namely Iannone with Suzuki and Ana Carrasco in WSS300. But of course there was a bunch of other drama: Jorge whining about Marquez and their make-up phone call, Yamaha's irrelevance in GP, Aleix Esparagaro's performance on the Aprilia, and a bunch of other random things. Then we finish off with a few listener questions.
2018-10-031h 41BrotoGPRomano Fenati Is Black-Balled - Ep. 105Off-track action overshadowed what turned out to be some average races this weekend at Misano. Marquez tried to shake Rossi's hand. Romano Fenati went WAY TOO FAR and is now completely ousted from the paddock. And Dani Pedrosa might be signing to test ride for KTM. But wait, there was actually a race too. Yama-who showed us once again that they don't have a handle on the tires, electronics, or anything needed to win in GP anymore. Jorge made a somewhat rare mistake. And Dovi rode a nail-bitingly perfect race.We finish this one off with...
2018-09-122h 16BrotoGPUndeterred, A Kyle Wyman Interview - Ep. 104MotoAmerica's Kyle Wyman sits down with BrotoGP for a big heart-to-heart interview. We've all seen him race and on social media, but do we really know who he is as a racer, a team owner, or as a person?First we talk about the upcoming race in New Jersey and why its previously been a great round for him. We jump back to the last round at PittRace and figure out what changed. Rob get's to talk tires a bit as Kyle describes the difficulties with some mid-season changes from Dunlop. Then things get real serious as we...

Just how much do our reactions to Pierre’s machines reflect our own worldview? Find out on BrotoGP After Dark.
2018-09-031h 01BrotoGPThe Silverstone Debacle & Cancelled Races - Ep. 103There's no race to talk about because MotoGP cancelled the Silverstone Grand Prix due to unsafe track conditions. The whole weekend was a huge debacle that left everyone very unhappy and one rider seriously injured. BrotoGP isn't going to leave all our fans hanging. So here's our take on all the events of the failed GP weekend in the UK. Stick around until the end for 'BrotoGP Awards'.
2018-08-301h 05BrotoGPAustrian GP and the New Jorge Lorenzo - Ep. 102Last weekend, we were surprised when Jorge Lorenzo rode like someone else. This weekend in Austria, he proved the New Jorge is here to stay - and he can win. Marc Marquez showed us again that he can tranform from WinOrBin to WinOrPodium. Dovi put up a fight, but one bigger mistake took him out of the running and now Ev is worried about him. Yamaha is still down in the dumps. And Scott Redding blew up in all the right ways.BrotoGP was also at Sonoma Raceway this past weekend for MotoAmerica. We interviewed some racers like...
2018-08-151h 56BrotoGPI Clapped For Bizarro Jorge Lorenzo at Brno - Ep. 101I'm not even sure Jorge Lorenzo expected his performance at Brno. Maybe he felt that result coming, but there's no way he knew that everything about his race would be very anti-Jorge. I clapped and he deserved it. Is he finally embracing the villain role - I doubt it, but we can hope.Dovi, Jorge, and Ducati put together an amazing weekend at a bogey track. Marquez showed new levels of maturity in his 100th race in the premier class. And Yamaha faltered ever so slightly... again with some help from Stephan Bradl. BrotoGP breaks all that down...
2018-08-081h 32BrotoGPMoto2 & Moto3 Mid-Season Review - Ep. 100We haven't found the time this season to talk about Moto2 and Moto3 - until now! Here's all the Moto2 talk you could ever want and a good chunk about Moto3 as well. There are many many sidebars about the talent progression through the GP classes, VR46 and their input into the development of riders, and how silly season is impacting our excitement for each class. And of course, we finish this one off with a few listener questions from social media. Kev even makes a drunk GOAT prediction - enjoy!
2018-08-012h 01BrotoGPSachsenring, Rossi, & Yamaha's Double Podium - Ep. 99Marc Marquez pulled his normal performance at Sachsenring with pole position by a narrow margin and a very controlled win. You may or may not have been surprised - Rob was, Kev wasn't. Thankfully, there were better stories behind him in Yamaha and Ducati's performances. We then hit up Dani's announcement, the potential arrival of Fabio Quartararo in the class, and bag on Simon again. Kev's point is mostly unchanged on that last one. We try to finish off with a bunch of listener questions. Somehow WSBK and the potential explosion that could be their Silly Season comes...
2018-07-181h 27BrotoGPForget the Traction Circle? - Rob's Tech Tape Vol. 4It's time to slow things down for Rob's Tech Tape. I only have 4 related questions this time, so we are going to go into much greater detail. All these questions are about riding skills, mostly for track use. There are many ways around a race track, but this is how I do it and importantly - why I do it and why I think it can work for everyone.
2018-07-1436 minBrotoGPMarquez Grabs a Piece of Assen - Ep. 98What can you say about one of the best GP races ever? Do you tell people it was amazing and then move on? No - this is BrotoGP! You stir the pot, drop the syllabus, and talk about everything you can. Ya we cover the race - Jorge's start, Rossi slamming into Lorenzo, Dovizioso and Rossi tangling, Marquez nearly falling off, Rins and Vinales finally putting it all together. But the stories, the drama, lie elsewhere. The race was slow AF, maybe due to the wind - and no one was able to pull away. Race direction felt...
2018-07-041h 52BrotoGPLorenzo Doubles Down in Spain - Ep. 97You watched the Catalunya MotoGP race over a week ago, so we aren't talking much race action here. This time we are talking riders, their mental game, and how it affects performance. Jorge and his new fuel tank showed us again that he's not messing around. Marquez saved most of the crashes this time - Dovi didn't. And once again Rossi came through for a podium. Dani didn't retire. Mav didn't go much faster. And Michelin didn't make consistent tires. Those last 3 tenths might be all in their heads. So how are they doing it or why aren't they? Join...
2018-06-271h 57BrotoGPWinning Yamahas in MotoAmerica & WorldSBK - Ep. 96Superbike racing had 2 amazing weekends recently with MotoAmerica at RoadAmerica and WorldSBK at Brno. You asked for more non-MotoGP coverage, so you are getting it!Toni Elias, Cam Beaubier, and Josh Herrin put in some amazingly hard passes in America's National Series for the best 2 races we've seen all year. Someone went down, drama bubbled up, and Rob wonders if penalties are going to get in the middle of this great racing. America still seems to follow "turnabout is fair play" and we like it.WorldSBK race 1 isn't worth talking about... but race 2, oh man. The...
2018-06-131h 31BrotoGPMugello, Jorge, and Skid Marc's - Ep. 95Mugello went down, and so did Marquez! New and unexpected is always thrilling. So even if Jorge leading out front for the entire race is 'meh', we were still excited by this one because he finally got his win on the Duc. Marquez fully crashed this race, going down and missing out on a grip of points. Kev has some rant-y ideas for why. Dovi and Rossi were exactly where they needed to be with solid performance to put 2 Italians on the podium. Petrucci whined a bit about Marquez's rough pass but still came away with a good finish. And...
2018-06-061h 52BrotoGPLe Moans - Ep. 94We owe everyone a LeMans GP episode, and you all know what happened - every rider that mattered honey-potted us into thinking the race was going to be amazing. Marquez dropped spots early to spice up the race. Jorge put on a good show in the first few laps. Dovi and Zarco had something for MM's race pace. And Danilo and Rossi had a good battle... but it all didn't matter.The Silly Season is still hot because we all don't know what Jorge is going to do. There's big rumors about Joan Mir and Suzuki. We talk...
2018-05-301h 45BrotoGPDucati Dominos in Jerez - Ep. 93The Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez went down... and so did both Ducati Factory racers. Dani Pedrosa had a little something to do with it and the MotoGP title has swung to Marquez. But before we get there, Kev did some serious journalism on MM93 Boos so we gotta cover that. Then we talk about the crash, and for once no one agrees on who to blame. After that we jump over to Suzuki, their run of form, and their potential 2019 rider line-up. Zarco comes up, both for his podium and top Yamaha finish and signing for KTM. Then we...
2018-05-091h 46BrotoGPWhy Didn't Ducati's Monocoque Work - Rob's Tech Tape Vol. 3Rob's Tech Tape is back with more questions! The BrotoGP Army really came through when I asked for some hard ones. We hit up some history with Ducati's Monocoque and 500cc engine braking. There were a few questions about electronics and rider aids, especially for Moto2 in 2019. A few people wanted to know about chassis setup and swapping parts. Of course, Josh Herrin's Attach Performance Herrin Compound Superbike is in here. And lastly, Andrew Lee wants which tires go where... like he doesn't know.
2018-05-0229 minBrotoGPLet's Talk Carbon Fiber Swingarms - Rob's Tech Tape Vol. 2Its again time to ask Rob some tech questions, and now we have a segment title. "Rob's Tech Tape" is of course a play on words with the long running joke of "Title Of Rob's Sex Tape". Ya, a joke is less funny if I had to explain it, but you get it now. If you haven't heard it, watch or listen to the podcast!This time we hit 13 questions from all over Social Media and Youtube. We cover engine architecture, carbon fiber suspension products, Melandri's wobble/weave, engine braking, slip target, and more. You are probably thinking, "...
2018-05-0229 minBrotoGPWhy Does Lorenzo Ride Faster With Map8 - Rob's Tech Tape Vol. 1Welcome to the first installment of 'Rob's Tech Tape'. This is where I (Rob) cover all the nerdy tech questions that you have about professional motorcycle road racing. I read rulebooks in my spare time, go over every tech article, and listen to every crew chief interview I can find. So I'm not completely full of it :D. I kind of went overboard with selecting questions. But you asked them on Instagram and Facebook, so I'm going to answer them.If you have any more tech questions or if you think I got anything seriously wrong, leave some...
2018-05-0227 minBrotoGPUpgraded A.I. Takes on T-1000, Fails - Ep. 92The COTA race was another snooze-fest because Marquez ran away with it... again. Thankfully BrotoGP is here to remind you of all the interesting shit that did happen. Iannone got an upgrade, made one hard pass, and maybe showed that Suzuki is making improvements. Marquez was penalized in qualifying, though it didn't really matter. The track surface was in shambles with old bumps, new bumps, and tons of dust from an attempted bump removal - Kev blames the weather. We talk Ducati and the very different fortunes of Dovi and Jorge. Rob even nerd's out and speculates why COTA is...
2018-04-262h 04BrotoGPMotoAmerica Top Stories for 2018 - Ep. 91We polled our fans, asking whether or not they wanted us to discuss MotoAmerica. You ask for it, so you are getting it. MotoAmerica Round 1 at Road Atlanta went down last weekend. There were more than few surprises throughout the weekend. So here's our Top 5 Stories to watch for the 2018 MotoAmerica season.Up first is Hayden Gillim. He's moved over to Supersport from Superstock1000 and is challenging JD Beach already. Second on our list is Jamie Astudillo and her amazing performance in Junior Cup. Keep and eye out for her and all the rest of the young racers...
2018-04-201h 07BrotoGPArgentina Part 3, The Aftermath - Ep. 90BrotoGP went LIVE again. We finish off our 3 part series of the 2018 Argentina MotoGP round with everything that happened AFTER the race. Cal was salty AF. Marquez walked to Rossi's pit box with an entourage and got a ton of Uccio. Everyone on the planet lost their shit on social media, including Maverick who had to comment on every single Marquez post across the entirety of social media. Aleix and Pramac got into it, and Simeon jumped in the middle. There were plenty of harsh and uncomfortable interviews. And of course, after we cover all that we hit you, the...
2018-04-131h 36BrotoGPArgentina Part 2, The Climax - Ep. 89BrotoGP is back with Argentina Part 2, talking about the actual race this time. You were a little surprised when we cut short last episode without actually talking about the race. But here's another hour of all the drama resulting from Marquez's shenanigans.Alternate Kev shows up for this episode and gives you the low down on the service Marquez did for everyone else on the grid. We start with a quick recap of last episode, ie everything that happened before the race. Then we get into Marquez's first penalty, a ride through for riding backwards on the track...
2018-04-1253 minBrotoGPArgentina Part 1, The Build-Up - Ep. 88What a weekend for MotoGP in Argentina! There is just too much to talk about and I have no idea how we are going to get through it all. The whole crazy weekend started with qualifying. Jack Miller had the cojones and skill to ride on slick tires through a river running across Turn 7 and 8, while everyone else was using rain tires. With that, we just knew the weekend wouldn't be "normal". We jump back to Aron Canet's stupid choices during practice, legit taking out another rider. Dorna shows their cards early here with no penalty. Then we get to...
2018-04-111h 10BrotoGPDovi Draws First Blood - Ep. 87The first race of the year for MotoGP at Qatar did not disappoint. Qualifying was insane with the entire grid very close and an amazing recording breaking lap by Zarco. The race was amazing, with the field bunched up, tons of action every lap, and lots of surprises. And yet... everyone wants to talk about Simon Crafar! Kev gets his (first) rant in early and we talk plenty about not-racing. Then we jump over to Zarco, his performance, and the rumors surrounding him. Marquez Boos come up which gets Kev heated again. Of course we talk about Dovi...
2018-03-211h 35BrotoGP2018s Countdown to Racing - Ep. 86Its only 2 days before the 2018 MotoGP season kicks off at Qatar. So its time for us to do a "quick" season preview. This episode we run through all 12 GP teams and their 24 riders, giving you what we like, what we hate, what we expect, and what Kev is angry about. The list order is completely made up based on Rob's performance expectations for each team and somewhat on how they did last year. Towards the end when talking about Factory teams, the list blurs together some. But thats how it goes when we are speculating about title performances...
2018-03-141h 42BrotoGPJorge’s Headgame and an Inconsistent Yamaha - Ep. 84GP bikes were on track for the first time in Thailand and BrotoGP is back to full strength. This episode we bring all the racing chatter you want from the Chang test - and a bunch you didn't want - along with a little mention of the Sepang test. We were supposed to start this one on the new flurry of winglets, but Kev had something else in mind. We do still manage to get a little technical on winglets. Then we jump into what everyone has been asking about... the complaints and woes of Jorge, Mav, and Rossi. Duc...
2018-02-211h 41BrotoGPGP Team Bosses and Factory Collusion - Ep. 82We are only 2 weeks away from the first winter test of 2018, so the paddock is heating up. Bikes are being revealed, management is making moves, rumors are being started, and people are talking shit. so BrotoGP is gonna cover all of it. Here's what went down:- Ducati's 2018 winter reveal- Alberto Puig as the new head of HRC- Factory collusion on rider salaries- The rumor that Pecco Bagnaia is already signed to Pramac for 2019Of course, we finish this one off with listener question - some thoughts about MotoAmerica, what...
2018-01-171h 59BrotoGPThis Isn't Even Our Final Form - Ep. 81Wait until you see our true power!!! BrotoGP is evolving, bringing you more of everything that you want, while still keeping everything you love. This our first LIVE episode, streamed to YouTube and uploaded as a podcast after. We had some teething problems*. But I will fix that shit, so stick with us.We kick this one off with an update on Project Catfish. Scott Redding is going strong in his relationship - Kev is worried about Veronica. Then we jump to a racer that hasn't had much love from us or anyone in the off-season, Valentino Rossi...
2018-01-031h 46BrotoGPEpisode 77 - Don't H8 on Map8Conspiracy BrotoGP Episode!! And Ev isn't even here this time. Sepang went down and we have so much Ducati to talk about. Jorge got Map8'd, let Dovi catch up, and almost tucked the front. We start off with that, then Kev goes crazy at tearing down the HRC-Dorna plot in the GP paddock. HRC subsequently cuts his internet off even though we had moved onto Zarco's performance and the issues Factory Yamaha is having. We round out GP by discussing Jorge's slow transformation into a real Ducati rider. Then we jump to Moto2 and Franco, the first successful VR46...
2017-11-011h 48BrotoGPEpisode 76 - Road Rage Down UnderAfter Zarco somehow led the French GP in Australia, you know this episode of BrotoGP was going to be nuts. I think Kev makes a detailed analysis of 2-3 movies from my childhood in here. We kick this one off talking about whether or not this round is a contender for GOAT race (greatest of all time) and figure out how someone can give no f***s and still win. Then we talk about Yamaha's last minute resurgence to double podium and Mav's dog. We move on to Duc's lack of team orders and their choke-fest of a race. Irrelevant...
2017-10-251h 38BrotoGPEpisode 75 - Jon Bon Dovi Records Another HitA wet weekend at Motegi produced an amazing GP race, so BrotoGP had to bring you another amazing off-the-wall episode. We start with some listener questions (kinda), then Kev drops knowledge on the real position of Maverick in Top Gun and in GP. Then we move onto Dovi where Kev & Ev come up with a new Dovi-pun on the spot. Dovi rode way smarter than MM, and it paid off. We go over Marquez's mistake and someone even brings up a huge Dorna-Marquez conspiracy. Mind blown. Then we jump on Yamaha and their failed attempts to improve on peak frame...
2017-10-181h 54BrotoGPEpisode 73 - Marquez, BooooooooooYou waited, but this one is worth it. Some fans have asked for longer episodes, so here you go - 2 hours of BrotoGP madness! Kev kicks us off with a mind-melting story, then we jump right into Misano. Marquez showed us his best old school Rossi impression, toying with his competitors all race. We talk about Duc, we talk about rain, we cry over Petrucci. Then we move onto Aragon... and more Marquez. He didn't have the feeling, heat was a huge variable, but he still won. The championship has firmly swung in his direction. We ain't mad, just booooooooo...
2017-09-271h 53BrotoGPEpisode 71 - Ducati Moses' Hat TrickCrazy races and amazing last lap battles bring insane BrotoGP episodes. Too much happened in this one to recap it all in a short paragraph, but I'll try. We flub the intro (kinda), RiderzLaw gets a nice plug, and we jump into the last lap of the race. Dovi outsmarted Marquez, racing to his and the Ducati's strengths. So we try to make that sound good. Pedrosa get some air time as he helped the two title contenders pull away, especially as Factory Yamaha struggles for braking stability. Then, Kev and Rob get heated over whether or not Jorge is...
2017-08-161h 16BrotoGPEpisode 70 - Marquez' Masterclass Masterstroke MeleeRacing is back after the unreasonably long summer break. BrotoGP is back. And Marc Marquez is definitely back. The mostly-dry weekend was building to an amazing dry race where no one really knew who had the pace to win... then it rains just a little bit. Once again in tricky conditions, Marquez showed us that he and his team have that shit down to a science, while two of his main title challengers dropped the ball. Rossi might actually realize now - after this race - that he has no clue when to come in to switch to slicks. And...
2017-08-081h 08BrotoGPEpisode 68 - VR46 vs Nepotism vs KTMIt feels like forever since we discussed Moto2. We are still stuck in the summer break, so this felt like a great time to brush up on the intermediate class and discuss the racers leading the championship - the top 5 in reverse order. Racers make most of the stories and bitches love stories. Pecco Bagnaia is up first as the only Moto2 rookie to make an impact so far this year. Then we jump on Alex Marquez, his nepo-tastic results really getting Kev riled up. Miguel Oliveira and KTM make Rob eat a bunch of crow. Everyone's favorite journeyman Luthi...
2017-07-201h 04BrotoGPEpisode 67 - Chaz, Please Make WSBK Fun AgainRapid fire episode, WSBK this time. The last one wasn't short enough and this one isn't either - still worth it. We talk about racing first, specifically how Chaz and Rea went full on beast-mode in separate races. We even cover the American wildcard Gagne a bit. Then the shit starts flying. Kev had it up to here with Laguna's shitty cell service and WSBK's ridiculous grid reshuffle system. The perfect storm of crap meant that Laguna's best turnout in years was all for nothing, creating yet another forgettable Sunday of WSBK racing. But all is not lost - BrotoGP...
2017-07-1757 minBrotoGPEpisode 66 - Elias, the MotoAmerican DreamSurprise! Its the summer break but BrotoGP is gonna be bringing you a bunch of new content. We just got back from Laguna Seca and MotoAmerica is up first. The racing was phenomenal and dare I say, Kev was a bit surprised. MotoAmerica and practically everyone racing in it have had a huge resurgence in the past few years and thats all we are going to talk about. Toni Elias is living the true MotoAmerican dream leading the SBK title. Josh Herrin finally puts his privateer Yamaha on the box. There are rider stories left and right and we expect...
2017-07-1249 minBrotoGPEpisode 65 - Fraud Marquez Pretends to Lead GermanyBrotoGP coming at you a little late this week, but we made it. Ev & Dennis are missing so Nak from the Motos and Misfits Podcast joins us to make this a good one. Marquez won at Sachsenring again, but not in the normal convincing fashion - and the pressure came from a very surprising racer. We hit up how HRC development is going, then start talking about the title. Is Marquez the real title leader or is it just #fakenews? After covering all the variability and errors this year, we jump over to Yamaha wondering if they are in trouble...
2017-07-061h 03BrotoGPEpisode 64 - Dr Rossi All Up In Dat AssenBrotoGP has been traveling all over the place this past weekend, but the race was so amazing that we had to get you this episode real quick. First off, we give away a sweet Suomy helmet to a faithful listener. Then we jump right into exactly what you want to hear about - The Doctor winning at Assen. What can we say, you can never count him out... especially once Yamaha gives him a chassis he likes. We then hit up the other notable Yamaha riders, namely Maverick and Zarco's mistakes and any potential mindf***s. Ducati showed us this...
2017-06-281h 14BrotoGPEpisode 56 - Turn and Burn with Maverick in QatarBrotoGP is back to full stride with GP racing in the Qatar desert. RiderzLaw and CycleGear are helping us out and we even give away a helmet in this episode. We talk about the weather first because this race almost didn't happen - what a clusterf***. Then we jump into the podium finishers and how they got there. After some shenanigans with a helmet and our listener reviews, we bring up some notable performances from Iannone, Aleix, and Zarco. Speaking of the M1, we then explore the development and ride-ability of the different factory bikes. We get to some forgettable...
2017-03-291h 17BrotoGPEpisode 55 - Maverick's Greatest Test, Duc's Great Ducts, and the Great Rossi Helmet GiveawayGP testing is finally over, so we figured we'd round out the off-season with a review of the entire grid... slowest to fastest. But before we get there, CycleGear is now sponsoring BrotoGP and we are giving away a sick AGV Rossi Replica Helmet. Listen to figure out how to win it. After that, we cover the mind-boggling sneaklets, ducted winglets, whatever you want to call them, that Ducati finally debuted. Then we break into our grid review, starting the KTMs. Longest episode ever, definitely worth it!
2017-03-151h 29BrotoGPEpisode 54 - WSBK Opener is REA-lly Good, Watch ItBrotoGP has a bit of a dilemma every time WSBK racing comes around. Everyone seems to care about GP more and SBK racing gets a bit lost. So for this episode, we are going to convince you (and Kev) to watch this racing. Crazy shit went down in Phillip Island with 3 amazing races. The Rea vs. Davies battle resumed with Marco Melandri spicing it up on the other Duc. The grid shuffle allowed more racers to fight up front in Race2. Even WSS had a crazy tight finish between some unexpected podium finishers. Aside from all that, Kev talks shit...
2017-02-2855 minBrotoGPEpisode 53 - Mav's 3-peat & Don't Get Tricked by Fake NewsBrotoGP here covering last week's Phillip Island Test. Maverick continues his clean sweep of the off-season tests and you know Kev was going to show him some love. President Kev keeps us informed about Rossi's true performance and bashes on all the other fake news floating around about him in 12th. We cover a brewing Marquez-Vinales rivalry a bit, then jump right into all the aero-developments we saw at the test. Duc has to come up, including Jorge's so far lack-luster performance and interviews lying to us about Duc's new fairings. We finish this one off with a preview of...
2017-02-2248 minBrotoGPEpisode 52 - Make MotoAmerica Great Again, SBK/STK Champ Josh HerrinWhile we are in between GP testing, BrotoGP is excited to bring you another real and honest racer interview. 2013 AMA Superbike and 2016 MotoAmerica Superstock1000 Champ Josh Herrin joins us in this one to spill about racing in America and his time in the Moto2 class. We start this one off talking about his struggles and successes during the 2016 season and his big plans for the Superbike class in 2017. Then we jump into the 2014 Moto2 season and why things didn't exactly go as planned. Josh covers it all... his riding, the talent, Zarco, Caterham Suter, the struggles with travel, his release...
2017-02-161h 08BrotoGPEpisode 50 - Listener Question TakeoverBrotoGP is back! Testing in 2017 hasn't started just yet. So this time, we reached out to all of our listeners asking for questions that you want us to talk about. We got plenty of responses ranging from Michelin to Moto2 to Rossi vs Mav. Of course there were plenty of non-moto questions too and we had to throw those in there... looking at you Paul Saylor. We didn't get to all of the questions, but we'll try to keep up on them as we all survive the offseason.
2017-01-191h 04BrotoGPEpisode 49 - Looking For AnswersDennis took the reins on this episode with a set of questions for the BrotoGP regulars, a sort of throwback episode to the original BrotoGP format. We know all you want to hear is Kev but everyone gets their shit-talking in on this one. We cover 125/250 vs Moto3/Moto2, #wingletsandchill, and Gigi and the new Ducati. Then things get real crazy with some mad pipedreams for GP, Kawi and BMW in GP (???), and Kev throws in a rant about WSBK to save Rob. We had a lot of fun with this one. Enjoy.
2016-12-151h 05BrotoGPEpisode 48 - Maverick Tests The LimitsWinter is here, but BrotoGP presented by RiderzLaw isn't going anywhere. Two MotoGP tests went down since we last recorded, the public Valencia test and a private Jerez test. With more than a few riders switching teams and a bunch moving up from Moto2, there was plenty to talk about. We start this one off with Maverick and Kev's favorite livery of the test. Then we hit up Jorge and the possibility that he's going to surprise us next year... or maybe we shouldn't be surprised. Rob get's to bag on KTM some more, Kev continues to hold onto winglets...
2016-12-0157 minBrotoGPEpisode 47 - Valen-See-Ya 2016Valencia has come and gone, which means the 2016 MotoGP season is over. We didn't have a title to talk about, but racers still gonna race! Thankfully Iannone showed us why he's the Maniac and spiced up the GP race. We highlight Jorge's performance and all the shade he's been getting for a bad second half the season. Kev goes wild on Valencia itself and Rob pretty much says "told you so" with KTM. We talk about Moto2 and Moto3, though perhaps not how you'd expect. We didn't get to the Valencia Test (even though its over by now), but BrotoGP...
2016-11-1654 minBrotoGPEpisode 46 - Czech it out, Karel Abraham on BrotoGPGP returnee Karel Abraham has been listening to BrotoGP and decided to hop on with us for an interview. It was a big surprise to hear Karel's name pop up for the final silly season seat over at Aspar Ducati. So he hammers out the details on the move back to the GP paddock and spills why he's leaving WSBK... even though he had offers to stay. Karel is also one of the few riders with experience on the newest entry into GP - KTM. We get Karel's predictions for that bike, some more info on Michelins, and even learn...
2016-11-0754 minBrotoGPEpisode 44 - Salty Air and Salty CalThis one starts off a little different as Kev gets heated telling you about what went down with BrotoGP last week - you'll see. The whole racing weekend was a big cluster, with the weather playing havoc in all 3 classes. So we went through the order this time. Moto3's nasty crash, the Italian disappointment, and Binder's pwn-age start us off. Then we get to Moto2, the championship that no one actually wants to win. Thankfully Luthi and Franco are spicing it up. We jump into GP and start off with mistakes - a common theme this year, just a...
2016-10-261h 04BrotoGPEpisode 43 - Yamah Bin Some, Yamah Lose SomeThe title hunt is over (ya spoilers) - just a little bit sooner than we had all hoped. Marquez once again showed everyone why he's so far ahead, pressuring his rivals into mistakes that have become all to frequent. Whenever someone crashes, there are fingers to point. Was Yamaha's development lacking? Does the Michelin front tire provide too little feedback? Is Rossi over the hill or was he just too sick? We went organic on this episode and covered it all. Somewhere in there Kev rants about some recent BrotoGP controversy with Dorna. We hit up development and performance expectations...
2016-10-191h 03BrotoGPEpisode 38 - Czechmate, CalIt rained again and the GP race was drama-filled and exciting even before the warm-up lap. BrotoGP has now introduced a new segment - Cal Kudos. After giving Cal his due, we go off on what a crazy season this has been, perfect for the 10-year anniversary of ZOOG (2006). We've had electronics changes, tire issues, bad factory performances, multiple new winners... you name it. Kev can't contain some pent up #calbashingtime. But we were able to calm him down by bagging on Jorge. Moto3 gets a bunch of coverage as does Moto2, with Rob sneaking in a KTM rant. Then...

2016-08-081h 30BrotoGPEpisode 34 - BroSBK Shenanigans at Laguna SecaBrotoGP got the hook-up from Karel Abraham and actually went to a WorldSBK race. MotoAmerica was there too, but Rob unfortunately joined the broken-clavicle moto club. So #robbashingtime is now a thing. But hey, there were two good WorldSBK races to watch and talk about: Kawi domination, Duc choking, and our favorite takeaways from the weekend. Kevin rants a bit about the state of the WorldSBK grid while tying it all into Moto2. Then we end this one with MotoGP Sachsenring predictions and more shenanigans.
2016-07-1458 minBrotoGPEpisode 33 - Jackin' Dat Assen1000 to 1 odds were enough to leave us speechless, just like Kev topping his Rossi poem from last episode. But hey, this is BrotoGP. Too much standing water, a red flag, and a whole new race were enough to make us want to throw something at the TV. Then Jack showed up, so we had a lot to talk about there. Mature Marc gets some coverage along with all the championship implications. Then we get onto the last of the Silly Season and even hit up the performances in the lower classes. Kev rants about `Winglexit` and we round this episode...
2016-06-291h 14BrotoGPEpisode 32 - The Italian King of Spain, on Their Party He Doth ReignBrotoGP and the entire motorcycle world had a rough weekend at Catalunya, so we start this episode with our thoughts and tributes to Luis Salom. After that we announce some big news, our first sponsor and supporter, RiderzLaw. We jump right into talking about the GOAT and we think you'll be surprised at how well Kev can bro down. Kev goes HAM like Iannone did up Jorge's rear end. The heat and slippery track in Spain definitely made this episode a good one. Enjoy.
2016-06-081h 03BrotoGPEpisode 27 - Alien-in-Training Maverick plus Marc and MichelinCOTA turned out to be a bit processional in all 3 classes. But BrotoGP still has plenty to talk about. This week we let our listener questions guide almost the entire episode. After a quick recap of all 3 races, we spend some time on alien-in-training Maverick Vinales. Then we move onto the main question for everyone - are all these crashes really Michelin's fault? Everett decides to show up and derail the entire party, but we keep everything on track well enough. We finish up this episode with some wild predictions for racing back in Europe.
2016-04-131h 16BrotoGPEpisode 25 - BrotoGP Kicks Off With QatarThe MotoGP season is finally here! Race 1 at Qatar is in the books. While the race might have been a Borenzo affair, this episode isn't. Maverick Vinales takes up a healthy chunk of this long episode. Of course we have to talk about Duc cheater motors and winglets. There's even some talk of Rossi Ranch Moto3 collusion and the Moto2 debacle in here. We were on a roll so this one went long. Enjoy.
2016-03-241h 31BrotoGPEpisode 24 - WorldSBK Races and GP Test at PIBroSBK is here. Racing has started and we finally talk about WorldSBK. Rea reminded us why he's a champion and half of us get a little exciting about American's on the world stage. Of course this is BrotoGP, so we cover the GP test at Phillip Island: the injuries, who ran well, and some surprises. We never get all the topics in one episode so catch us soon after the Qatar GP test before their season starts.
