Did you really think Miguel Oliveira was going to win? Again? On a KTM? In Portugal? What...the...2020. Let the MotoGP Off-Season begin! This one gets nuts and a bit NSFW - I mean, even more than normal.Von BrotoGP

MotoGP 2020 is decided. Its time to talk championships, later development for Suzuki, Franco Morbidelli and the "worst" Yamaha, the exodus from GP by the old guard, and the disappointment that is Taka Nakagami at Honda. #mirchampionship #motogp #francowinsagain Visit https://www.brotogp.com for BGP Swag Visit https://www.riderzlaw.com to contact Sy…

It was about time for 2020 to start nailing down the MotoGP champion. 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 #suzu…

The 2020 MotoGP championship will certainly be remembered. But what of its newly crowned champion? Will this championship mean MORE to the racers, teams, and fans? Or will everyone attach a big fat asterisk to this crazy season and the title winner? #brotogp #championshipwithnowins #motogp2020 Visit https://www.brotogp.com for BGP Swag Visit https:…

The Le Mans and Aragon 1 rounds of MotoGP were full of new surprises. Fabio Quartararo, Joan Mir, Valentino Rossi, Alex Marquez, Andrea Dovizioso - take your pick. They've all left the MotoGP world a little shocked. The 2020 Championship closes up once again! Joe Roberts made the headlines twice for these rounds - one bad and one good tidbit. We'll…

Huge mistakes had a major impact on the races at Misano and Catalunya with both Pecco Bagnaia and Andrew Dovizioso crashing out. 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…

The home crowd at Misano always hopes for a race like this - and they finally got one. Well, maybe except for the last lap. 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…

The 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 …

MotoGP 2020 is something new, something different that you've never seen before. And we like it! 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 3r…

I 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. There's lots to talk about.…

MotoGP at its first Spanish GP in Jerez race was HOT. 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. Other races made mistakes Sunday morning. And there were a few big mistakes during the Sunday race. This race was NUTS!…

MotoGP's first event of 2020 starts in a few hours. Sure, we had Moto2 and Moto3 race at Qatar. Now its time for the big show. Its time to remind ourselves how amazing life can be with the fastest racers and motorcycles on the planet finally hitting the track in anger. #motogp #jerez1 #prerace Visit https://www.brotogp.com for BGP Swag Visit https:…

MotoGP hosted a virtual race featuring 10 GP riders that could be convinced to buy a video game. 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.…

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…

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 sto…

Rob's Tech Tape is back, and this time we went Live! MotoAmerica Superbike racer Kyle Wyman is joining me to add a ton more experience and insight for all these questions. We cover everything from riding technique, to motorcycle electronics, to tires. Some topics we go way too far into and others we just brush the surface. #robstechtape #brotogpliv…

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 po…

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 repl…

Chronicling the true story of 68 year old New Zealand native Burt Munro and his quest to set a land speed record, The World's Fastest Indian has cemented itself as a pinnacle of the motorsport movie genre. Almost fifteen years after its release, we sit down to offer a fresh and contemporary analysis of a film that’s only gained relevance with age. …

All the Yamahas are finally seeing some improvement in MotoGP near the end of the season. 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. We haven't spoken…

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…

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 cham…

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. And all that made for the most exciting race in history! (sarcasm). BrotoGP tried, we really tried! #motogp #nothinghappened #marquezwinsagain Visit https://shop.…

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, an…

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 no…

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 culmin…

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, b…

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…

WorldSBK 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 ta…

MotoGP 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 Prama…

There are two GP riders that have figured out Qatar: Marquez and Dovizioso. 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 …

Its 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 K…

Don't forget - we talkin' bout practice. So let's have some fun with this one. 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 …

'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 abou…

Dani 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 #motogpleg…

Valencia 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 …

You 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 …

Crashes 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 al…

A 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 everyth…

Valentino 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 difficulti…

Since 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 per…

Off-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…

MotoAmerica'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 a…

Famous - or perhaps infamous - few design illicit the response that those of Pierre Terblanche do. On this episode we delve further than ever before as we analyze the motorcycles of the controversial South African designer. Just how much do our reactions to Pierre’s machines reflect our own worldview? Find out on BrotoGP After Dark.…

There'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 arou…

Last 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 …

I'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 bog…

We 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 f…

Marc 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 i…

It'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.…
