* 125/Moto2/MotoGP Races at Brno
* plus Testing + BSB Showdown
Martin Darlington is back and joins Jules Cisek for a wrapup of the excellent racing from Brno in the Czech Republic. We start off with some listener emails and back of the envelope physics and then run down the 125, Moto2, and Motogp races before talking a bit about the Monday test and Martin explaining the whole BSB Showdown business we didn't get to in last week's show.
* 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!
* 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.
Jim Race is back and he and Jules Cisek review the incredible racing in the WSBK series at Imola last weekend. We then do a quick preview of MotoGP @ Estoril. We've got interesting listener emails and then a quick last minute news update.
* MotoGP Silly Season checkin
* News and Reader Email
Jules Cisek does the show alone and it's a super short one. Not much in the news and it's been a strange week (this episode was recorded at a bus station in San Francisco o.O). Jules goes over where we're at in the Silly Season for 2010. Is Stoner returning? Simoncelli riding for Aprilia at WSBK Imola?
