Will Phillip Island deliver another MotoGP classic? 🇦🇺 | MotoGP Podcast

[@martynflynn8368]

I can't believe we are down to the last 4 races already, where did the year go? I think Marquez is going to be the big spoiler at this one definitely.

[@CrashMotoGP]

Time flies doesn’t it?! MM will be a factor for sure, he loves these stretch of circuits coming up.

[@OzzieBird]

Note to Martin... Stay up, stay fast, win the World Championship ❤

[@mattimlach]

Phillip island’s only an hour from my house and I ride it fairly often. I still find it an absolute fascinating place in such a humble setting compared to modern GP setups and I wouldn’t want to change it. It feels like real Gods country to ride a motorbike around

[@CrashMotoGP]

Very jealous!

[@OzzieBird]

Writing this after the race. Martin now has a 20 point lead. Finish the remaining three races on the podium and you are world champion Martin. Well deserved. Congratulations in advance 😊

[@theokramer_za]

Headed to Phillip Island with a friend last year from South Africa. Was a fantastic experience. This time I will be glued to my TV screen :)

[@RobotLunchboxProductions]

If the Aus GP is half as entertaining as the BSB final this weekend then we are in for a classic

[@CrashMotoGP]

🤞

[@ianjohnson1207]

What are the chances!

[@rauly93]

I can see a special weekend from Marquez!

[@CrashMotoGP]

It could be, he loves the place!

Tyre pressure should be a manufacturers penalty not a rider one.

[@martynflynn8368]

@@philsaunder9690 I genuinely feel it should not be a penalty at all it is the most loathed regulation in the sport and is making motogp look utterly stupid.

[@philsaunder9690]

@@martynflynn8368 Yep, agreed. But if they feel they need it, it shouldn’t decide the rider championship.

[@ianjohnson1207]

@@philsaunder9690 Why should it plenty of teams manage it without getting a penalty It’s the same rule for everyone and it isn’t going away

[@martynflynn8368]

@@ianjohnson1207 So what is the big advantage in keeping this ridiculous rule and have we any known data where riders have injured themselves or other riders by contravening the dumbest rule in motorsport???

[@ianjohnson1207]

@@martynflynn8368 Well it’s only a dumb rule if you don’t understand it, who’s responsible for it and the reason for it That’s a polite way of saying something

[@NoNotAChance]

My crystal ball tells me .... Expect Marquez to be up front. Locals tell me it will possibly be wet for Sunday and Marc loves that - especially with new tarmac. Acosta quite possibly be a repeat of Motegi if he tries to make up for Motegi, but if not he will certainly be a factor for the win. Martin for the sprint and down the road in the GP. Besta just behind Jorge in the sprint and top 5 for the main. Pecco on the podium both races to regain points lead.

Guys, i hope so...Philip Island is my favourite track and there have been some epic races there. HOWEVER, I don't know if you saw BSB on the weekend but that's what motorbiking is all about. BSB is putting MotoGP to shame and something has to change. I'm a die-hard fan, I watch all the free-practices from Moto3 to MotoGP and its become boring! Ducati's dominance plays a part, some of the tracks play a part (theyre too safe) and the aero and FL style development has played a part. MotoGP is going like F1 and that's a huge turn off for me. Hopefully Philip Island will be a cracker its a brilliant circuit and i hope the title fight goes to Valencia. I'm very quickly moving over to BSB, where they really have 'got it right'

[@kd.petersen4079]

I think it's a bit sad that everybody are so busy turning Honda and Yamaha into to clones of Ducati and Aprillia. Yes,I haven't missed that the Japanese are in a lot problem's at the moment, but as far as I know, the NSR and RC211V wasn't designed by Italians. Maybe it's more about changing the rules so the bikes start looking and behaving like motorcycles instead of F1 cars.

[@abhinav1859]

agreed

[@DustyVisorMotorcycles]

What a paradox compared to the 80's.........Still more marquees on the grid than ever before!!

Topic suggestion for upcoming podcast: Discuss how this last years change to concessions has gone. It hasn't seemed to have hurt Ducati. Even KTM's concessions hasn't seemed to hurt...Honda \ Yamaha how have they done with the significant concessions. Curious of your thoughts. Ducati has continued to dominate even when their competitors have concessions. It seems like the new concessions has worked out in the sense that no one has seemed to have made crazy progress to the determent of Ducati having a "disadvantage" compared to their competitors.

Talking of last lap last corner championship deciders. Dorna to to upload the 2000 250cc Australian GP. Jacques Vs Nakano. Add the fact they were teammates. Still one of my favourite races of all time.

@@ianjohnson1207 You may be correct but may I refer you to the final round of BSB where there’s practically zero aids? Aids as in the blight of racing rather than the blight of gentlemen that are attracted to monkeys.

good one guys

[@CrashMotoGP]

Thanks!

[@tg91593]

C'mon, you guys have to talk about 2015!!!

[@abc2662]

I'm pretty sure Aprilia will be racing behind at least one Japanese constructor next year. I can't think of anyone who makes worse professional decisions than Bezzecchi. He could have been riding a GP24 at Pramac this year, but gently declined it for Morbidelli's happiness. He could also has stayed at VR46 to ride a GP25 next year, but this time Diggia got a Christmas gift. He definitely has a broken picker.

[@bernardoberner4]

Idk if you guys have the time to actually do another pod and follow other series, I supposed not, BUT it would be cool if you did a WorldSBK and/or a BSB pod

[@CrashMotoGP]

Stay tuned! Plans for 2025 👀

[@bernardoberner4]

@@CrashMotoGP really? Hells yeah

[@tonydiridoni5829]

For Martin, dude, just do what you do. But. If ya can... Pole ( duh ) and then just follow Peco. I like Peco alot but Martin needs this Championship. I was going to say deserves but IMHO you have to Earn a MotoGP championship.

[@justinsamlsj]

prediction? left track? marc marquez.

[@abc2662]

Ducati is so dominant in 2024 that if the GP23s were racing under another Constructor's name (like Panigale) they would be second in the Constructors Championship Ducati >>> 554 pontos Panigale >>> 359 KTM >>> 275 Aprilia >>> 255 Yamaha >>> 97 Honda >>> 56

[@MartinMcMartin]

The womens world cup has more lead changes and passing in general compared to the current GP situation. Slow, but good racing.

[@bernardoberner4]

Tbh I think our view on the competitiveness of the RSGP this year is a little skeewed. Cus theyve got a now injured Oliveira, Fernandez, a retiring and inconsistent Aleix Espargaro and Vinales(we all know what Mavericks like, inconsistent is an understatement for him). So I personally believe Aprilia will be less inconsistent next season, just due to the riders. Yeah they wont know the bike but although a rookie Oguras is pretty talented and will likely be the reigning Moto2 champ. Martin we can pretty much guarantee will deliver the best the bike has to offer and so long as Bez is happy with the front hell also be pretty good I believe. One thing to add to Bez, we saw that the flywheel change Ducati had done to the GP23 really helped him, despite the super grippy rear Michelin. So its not a given hell struggle with the same things he has, this year. Tbh its very unlikely hell have the same issues

[@ianjohnson1207]

Two new riders that don’t know the bike, the main man in the development leaving for Honda They seem to have totally stalled this year, both riders might be in for a disappointing season next year

[@DustyVisorMotorcycles]

If it stays dry..................................

I say scrap MotoGP and make BSB the world championship. A world championship of races in the UK😂 but idk its just soooo good
