* Le Mans review
* Konversation with Kropotkin
* Josh Hayes at Infineon
* Kickstarter shoutouts!
Jim Race and Jules Cisek are rejoined by Martin Darlington this week. The Kickstarter shoutouts go out and we listen to a great conversation Jim had with David Emmett of Motomatters.com. Jim then splits leaving Jules and Martin to deal with Stonergate and Limoncelligate… Last but certainly not least a quick chat Jim did with AMA Superbike Champion Josh Hayes.
* Call with Jules!
* Illegible notes!
* Something about Cat Pants!
From one extreme to another, that's MotoGPod! This week's show is one of the shortest shows in months, right after last week's uber long marathon. Bob and Jules do a quick and very entertaining call, talking about some of the news and events going on this past week in motorcycle road racing. Let's be honest, Bob was drunk and did zero prep for the show, but Jules carried it off like a pro! Good thing he shows up on time! LOL!
* MotoGP News
* Chat with Darren Carpenter, More About Track Bikes!
Looong show today with a really great chat with Darren Carpenter of OMRRA fame, about track bikes and various things to look for. We expand on the quick track bikes options segment from a couple of weeks ago and talk about what you might want to think about when you buy a track bike and where to spend any extra money you might have. In addition to that, we cover a few cool news items and talk a little bit about Steve Jones' USMotoGPFans.com suite deals. Good stuff!
* MotoGP News
* Listener E-mail
* Chat with Eurosport Commentator Toby Moody
* Estoril Preview
* Talk Like A Pirate Day
Lots of great stuff this week, including the obvious Estoril preview, some news from MotoGP, listener e-mail, a new podcast I found that is marginally about MotoGP, and a really great call with Eurosport commentator Toby Moody (how cool is that?) and some more of the usual blathering on. Plus, don't forget about Talk Like A Pirate Day on September 19th!
* Bob and Jules talk about Assen
* MotoGP is on CBS again? Wow!
* Need some Flagroom Tickets? MotoGPod has got you covered!
A double dose of Assen love today, with Bob and Jules doing a wrapup chat about the race and some comments about the CBS coverage with Jeff Medders and Kevin Schwantz.
* Silly Season and Some Reader E-mail
* Donington Qualifying and Race Wrapup
* Casey Stoner Interview (psych!)
* Assen Preview, but Not Really Well Prepared. Kinda like some "real" websites
We talk a little bit about some interesting stuff that's going on in MotoGP, plus wrapup Donington, share a chunk of an interview with Casey Stoner that I didn't actually do and then finish up with a real quick and dirty Assen preview and yet another apology.
* MotoGP News
* Reader E-mail
* Donington Preview and History Lesson
* Lets Talk About Brakes
We've got some interesting MotoGP news, a couple of brief comments about the World Superbike races at Misano, reader e-mail, a Donington preview complete with history lesson and audio onboard lap, and a tech segment about brakes that is in no way whatsoever related to the tech segment about brakes that was in show #37. Oh wait, maybe it's the same tech segment...
* Reader e-mail
* Catalunya qualifying and race report, plus a look at the standings
* MotoGP on CBS? WTF?
* Chat with Liam Shubert!
Bob does a fairly windy intro with a reader e-mail and some other comments, followed by a race report about the Gran Premi Cinzano de Catalunya. Then we talk about the CBS commentary of the Catalunya race, with a Pepsi Challenge of three different commentaries and we finish up with a great chat with Liam Shubert of the Pramac d'Antin Ducati team. Good stuff, make sure you listen to every second!!
* Bob and Jules Mugello Wrapup
* Chat with Liam Shubert
* Chat with Chuck Aksland
OK, this show go ridiculously long, and that means there was no time for much of a Catalunya preview show. On the other hand, this show does have an interesting bit with Jules and Bob talking about how great the Mugello race was, followed by a chat with Liam Shubert of the Pramac d'Antin team and then a call with Chuck Aksland, manager of the Team Roberts MotoGP team. It's very long, about an hour and a half, but well worth the download!
* MotoGP News
* TVU Networks website...hmmm...
* Reader E-mail, that's always fun
* Mugello Preview with Audio Onboard Lap
* A Quick Look at the Standings Going into Round 6
A bit of a hodgepodge of a show today and we're back to the NPR for motorcycle racing format, with just Bob on the show. There's an interesting website that I found out there you might want to check out, plus some news and commentary. Also, a blog entry from Kropotkin Thinks at MotoGPMatters.com is blatantly cribbed because it was really good stuff. We wrap up with a Mugello preview, including an audio onboard and a look at the world championship standings going into Round 6 of the 2007 MotoGP season!
