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.
* Nick Harris, Livio Suppo, Cal Crutchlow, Lucio Cecchinello, Hiroshi Aoyama, Toni Elias, Valentino Rossi, Gavin Emmett, Paul Denning, Tom Tremayne, Nicky Hayden, Dennis Noyes
Bleary eyed Jules Cisek and purple haired Jim Race glue together all the bits we took off our recorders from Laguna Seca. First, MotoGP commentator Nick Harris weighs in on the 2011 season and we follow with quick chats with HRC's Livio Suppo, Tech 3 rider Cal Crutchlow, LCR boss Lucio Cecchinello, Gresini rider Hiroshi Aoyama, and LCR rider Toni Elias. Valentino Rossi talks about QP and season prospects and Gavin Emmett makes race picks. Special guest host Mark Miller then interviews Jim Race while Paul Denning of Suzuki Racing, Tom Tremayne from Bridgestone, and Ducati's Nicky Hayden give post race impressions. Finally a fantastic wrapup with Dennis Noyes. Man what a weekend!
Jim Race and Jules Cisek discuss the best racing of the season from last weekend's Sachsenring round and weigh in on news and the upcoming weekend at Laguna.

Jules Cisek is joined by Gonçalo Silva to review the WSBK round at Brno and preview MotoGP at Sachsenring. We also answer a bunch of listener email and explain the Claiming Rule Teams (we hope).
Jules Cisek and Martin Darlington review the 125, moto2, and MotoGP races from Mugello Italy. We had some great weather on Sunday which resulted in some great racing very much worth talking about. We then try very hard not to go on a bashing spree… and fail. Finally a quick update on BSB @ Snetterton.
* Ben Spies - Factory Yamaha MotoGP
* Mark Miller - Splitlath Aprilia BSB
While the rhetoric and vitriol are in full swing heading into the Mugello MotoGP round, we're treated to a call with Assen winner Ben Spies put on by the great folks at Indy with Jules Cisek in attendance. Jim Race and Martin Darlington review Assen GP, wander the hallways of rider bickering and still manage the time for a great call with Mark Miller detailing his own time at Assen as well as the upcoming Snetterton BSB round. Good stuff!
After the marathons of the last few shows, Jules Cisek finally gets a breather while Martin Darlington and Jim Race decide to play catch-up. We review the Aragon WSBK & WSS races, chat a bit about Knockhill BSB and look ahead to the Cathedral that is Assen MotoGP. Ahhhh.
