MotoPod, The Motorcycle Roadracing Podcast, is an internet radio show dedicated to MotoGP and motorcycle racing news, interviews, commentary, opinion and rumor! MotoPod's primary focus is MotoGP, the premier class of the FIM World Championship Motorcycle Grand Prix Road Racing Series, but we’ll have occasional sidetrips into the world of FIM SBK World Superbike, Supersport and many other forms of two wheeled motorsport. Find out what’s going on in the sport that is the pinnacle of motorsports, Grand Prix Motorcycle Road Racing! New episodes every week.
Jules Cisek and Martin Darlington go through listener email, various news bits, Jules' armchair theory of the leg dangle followed by a passionate appraisal of the bizarre 125 race, the once again extremely satisfying Moto2 race, and the mostly clinical and processional MotoGP race saved by a brilliant ride from SuperSic. We wrap up with Nürbergring action with the incredible variety of racing between WSBK Race1, WSS, and the deluge of WSBK Race 2.
* Elena Meyers
* Andrea Oleari (MarcVDS)

Martin Darlington anchors Jules Cisek who has just returned from Indianapolis and the GP round there. From Indy we've got Elena Meyers who, at 17 years old, got to ride Alvaro Bautista's GSV-R800, Andrea Oleari who's the Marc VDS data technician for Scott Redding and Mika Kallio, and an old friend of the show. Toby Moody speaks his mind on everything MotoGP. Martin and Jules cover all three races and try to make sense of the unusually quiet silly season and finally Jules catches up with the versatile and very fast Shelina Moreda.

Interviews with Liam Shubert, Toby Moody, Marco Simoncelli and several other personalities; plus a lot of general observations while we were there. It's great stuff and I think you'll like it a lot!
* Indianapolis Knows How to Put on a Show
* Bob, Jules, and Jim Conference Call
Great conference call with Bob, Jules and Jim (I refuse to use the term 'three-way') talking about World Superbikes at Donington and the upcoming Red Bull Indianapolis Grand Prix and (duh) Indianapolis Motor Speedway. We're also doing a combined MotoGPod/RideOnTwo meet and greet on Saturda¥, September 13 at 12:15 near the Media Center at Indy, so we hope to see you there.
