Episode #547: MotoGP 2024 Indonesia/Japanese GP Reviews
Oct 11, 01:54 PM
First up, a small apology - We didn't have a show last week due to technical problems. My PC had a Blue Screen of Death and faulty RAM meant I couldn't record properly, apologies for the delay and hence, these episodes being merged in a sense. Apologies again - Dre
The last two MotoGP races weren't exactly classics, so much so, we've combined them into one episode, and turns out we ended up talking for an hour anyway, funny that.
Indonesia is talked over at the start, as Jorge Martin crashed at his specialist skill - The Sprint Race, before coming back to dominate the Grand Prix and scoring his first race win in four months ahead of Pedro Acosta and Francesco Bagnaia. But there was discussion to be had on the heavy attrition, with just 12 riders finishing the race, more delays over tyre pressure judgements and the startling lack of attendance.
Then this past weekend's Japanese Grand Prix, with Pecco dominating again, his fourth perfect weekend of the year with a Sprint/GP Double, with Pedro Acosta taking his first career pole position, only to crash on both races. Jorge Martin had to dig deep from 11th on the grid, but still managed 4th and 2nd.
Dre and Cam review all the action, as well as talk about Gresini and their latest PR Gaffe, as Manuel Gonzalez angers their Moto2 title sponsor QJ Motor via the controversial Japanese headband. All that and some David Alonso flowers on a bumper M101!
