Back to Keith's spare room. Pictures still not hung. Get yer finger out mate.
Regarding Marc not being introduced to the new engineer, it says to me that the decision to leave was already made and communicated to Honda and that from that point they’re keeping him as an employee on a need to know basis and obviously keeping him in the dark regarding information he could take with him to other manufacturers as much as possible.
Fantastic episode guys, great to see Pete again, next year will be interesting, that’s for sure, seeing Marc on a Ducati will feel surreal!!
So happy to see you all 3 back!
Martin for the title. He’s in fearless mode. Would love to see a non factory team win. Great for the sport. How long has it been? Rossi on the yellow 500? (Both were actually factory bikes but not in offical team).
FQ20 doesn't want more power (despite what he says). The real world translation is "I'm sick of getting passed on the straight like I'm standing still". I think Zarco will get promoted to Repsol if MM93 leaves and Lecuona goes to LCR.
Mind games will be in full swing next year when MM is on a Ducati. Gigi already spilled the beans on Sky Italia that Marc is trying everything to be on a Gresini next year but exiting his contract is messy.
28:40 yes!
Fantastic to see you three guys back together! 👍 ☺ Proper made my day 😉
Was just about to comment how I was missing Pete’s professional commentary when all of a sudden there he is! Good show!
"WORKS" Team! Ferchrissakes!
"little yellow book" is hardly a tongue twister
One of my favorite up and coming channels
So nice to see the original trio back!
Bezz came in way too hot, like Enea did and ruined the race for Zarco and Vinales; he should have got a long lap penalty. Acosta is going to GasGas, replacing Augusto, who will be KTM reserve rider next year.
Rins? to Repsol? Oh, he's going to Yamaha
Ffs, if he wants to leave just go! Spare us the continued incessant drama never ending.
Simon Crafar said that the problem with drive grip is that once it starts spinning it is really hard to stop it and you lose a heap of time. I would think that with electronics you could soften the ramp into power. Good point that Honda had the best system and it was outlawed to help the other teams. Let them have it back.
Thanks gents!
I've heard Keith moan about Valencia about 100 times on these podcasts. Chesté is a great weekend, especially on a Friday and Saturday night in the village. Massive crowd too. Nice to see Pete again 👍
Don't forget that in the modern era alone, we've had the two Japanese manufacturers who are currently on the back foot dominating the premier class.
great to see Pete back
Could Marquez leaving Honda be a shining light for Honda? Are Honda to focussed on keeping Marquez happy and not developing a decent bike? As we all know the bike was built around Marquez riding style. Is that whats holding Honda back? Could it free up development with Marc not being at Honda? Great podcast as always. Awesome to see Pete back.
@ 40:45 😂 what Harry said. Lovin this ep.
The podcast got into top gear when Pete joined in 👌
Is it's the new start device?
Hi Pete! Great to see you back!
Aahh thanks Keith, ive been on holiday so got the BSB recorded to watch 😂 spoiler alert!
One of the KTM guys can replace Mark
As usual, a top podcast. Yes it was great too see Hopper 21 back an listening to his thoughts an opinions of all things. 👍 A I, no. Just needs parameters an consistency
clarifying.
So if Cal is such a great test rider why is he not getting the same result as Dani Pedrosa? Also he no impressing the factory rider who say the bike is not what he wants so is Cal who was a good racer a good test rider results show maybe not.
I love this podcast and am so happy you guys brought it back. Love that Pete made it back 🥺🥺🥺🥹🥹🥹
Well it’s now official Marc to leave Honda and join Gresini
Finally! MM and Honda have now confirmed what we all knew, Marc will be on a Ducati, buckle up and grab the popcorn.
Awesome having the gang back together again!
OMG this is great. I've been missing the old Cash podcast. Had no idea you guys were doing a new one. Went looking on Twitter for Keith and found this. Awesome. 🙂
Martins not in Pecco's head. Hes only DNF'd 3 times now i think. He still leads.
Everyone forgets that Martin has a full factory bike. Its Not like Pecco getting beaten a Yamaha.
Due to his quiet demeanor I believe. Pecco hasnt gotten then recognition he deserves.
Championship leaders ALWAYS think different to those chasing. Mostly always easier to chase as nobody judges you as harshly.
Rather wait and see how Martin handles it and what happens if he crashes out
I always find myself agreeing with Keith except when it comes to Silverstone. I hate the place. It has no interest in bikes(go to a BSB round there for proof),it's far too expensive and takes forever to get anywhere round the circuit. Even from the campsite that they sold off to the circuit is a trek. It has no soul for bikes. I do a lot of BSB and wsb and Silverstone is by far the worst circuit in the country for bike fans. Just got home from donington xbsb. Totally different atmosphere for fans.
As a Pecco fan I don't agree that Martin has pecco rattled at all!! Pecco got run over a few weeks back and potentially could have been a career ender/life threatening..!! Pecco's done amazingly since then and he'll make hard work for Martin from now on…
Pete !!! Where the hell have you been mate, great to see the band back together.
