MotoPG

It's finally happened folks. A perfect storm of unlikely circumstances sees the boys finally able have their say on global geo-politics. All eyes are on happenings away from the track as the circus moves to Qatar despite lots of dissension in the paddock. Organisers are adamant the race will go ahead but with Yamaha out, riders with anything resembling an excuse heading for the exits and the US restarting military strikes on Iran who knows? All that plus Borrie has written a belter of a poem. It's hard to believe we do this for free but you can help right that wrong by signing up for the Patreon Pit Crew. Press play and head there now.

Nobody does a balls up quite like Phillip Island and the last GP to be staged there for the foreseeable future could barely have been more fitting. An otherwise glorious week soured by outside influences (the weather) yet still somehow a great week on the ground. With the boys from Turn 5 on hand for the recording (we used their lounge room as a studio), our three analysts wrap up the disaster that was Phillip Island 2026 in all its glory muddy glory.

GREY GUMS INTERNATIONAL CAFÉ

It's been a while since Australia could boast a motorcycling world champion but our latest might be the most impressive yet. Archie McDonald won the inaugural Bagger World Cup last month against more experienced and better credentialed riders and all after suffering an unimaginable personal tragedy when his brother took his own life earlier in the year. We also catch up with James Tonna, owner of the Joe Rascal racing team, which made the whole thing possible. This is the 217th episode of Moto PG but it might be the best yet. (And don't forget to sign up for the Patreon Pit Crew. This beer doesn't buy itself.)

If you think this podcast is madness when it's just our three hosts, imagine what it's like when you add a crowd of fans. That's what the annual Moto PG Rampage is about and this year was no exception. Thrills, spills and a couple of special guests make it one of the highlights of the Moto PG calendar and 2026 is no exception. If you weren't there press play and see what you missed. If you were, press play and see if you remember what happened.

Have the team finally found a bike Freido can test ride? Is it somehow possible Marc Marquez might still steal this championship? Will the authorities crack under pressure from the Greatest Motorcycling Podcast in the Universe and guarantee the future of Grid Girls? None of these questions are answered in episode 215 but they are all asked and that is an important first step. To hear for yourself hit the play button then head over to Patreon and do your part to keep this ship afloat by signing up as a Pit Crew member. The monthly fee will definitely improve our lives and possibly even yours.. Hard to imagine a better deal than that. Enjoy
