Crash MotoGP Podcast

Dre Harrison, Lewis Duncan and Pete McLaren sit down to review the Dutch Grand Prix at the Catherdral of Speed at Assen.

Japan finally gets to celebrate its first new winner since Makoto Tamada in 2004 as Ai Ogura maximised the second half of the race to comfortably blow past Raul Fernandez and Jorge Martin enroute to victory. With Ai just 25 points behind Martin, is the former Moto2 Champion a genuine title contender?

There were other flashpoints in the title fight, as Marco Bezzecchi missed out on another huge opportunity, only managing fourth in the Sprint Race and crashing early on in the Grand Prix, which even Aprilia couldn't defend. With Marc Marquez struggling to just sixth and seventh place across the weekend and losing no ground in the title fight, does Bez have the mental strength to fight for the title? Also discussed, the other contenders in the title fight, and whether KTM needs to be parked for Pedro Acosta's unreliable bike?

Another Crash MotoGP mini-sode of the Podcast as Lewis Duncan joins Dre Harrison and Peter McLaren to discuss two more blockbuster moves!

After months of speculation, Pedro Acosta completes his move from KTM to the factory Ducati team. It’s a generational prospect lineup alongside Marc Marquez, but after some heated battles, can the pair of them co-exist together?

Pecco Bagnaia is next on the agenda as he moves from Ducati after 8 years with the brand to move to Aprilia on a massive four-year commitment. Is he moving there to be Aprilia’s new leader, and was he worth bringing in over the departing Jorge Martin?

In a series of mini-episodes/youtube specials, Dre Harrison and Pete McLaren start analysisng all the delayed silly season moves for 2027 in MotoGP, and they start with the biggest of them all - Marc Marquez staying with the factory Ducati squad through 2028. It includes talk on his first 850 run, his future teammate Pedro Acosta and just how long he can keep up his elite performance in the sport! Hosted on Acast.

Dre Harrison and Pete McLaren sit down to review a wild weekend at Brno for the Czech GP (Don’t worry, Lewis is back next week, he’s on holiday)

The weekend was dominated by Marco Bezzecchi being banned from the Grand Prix after striking a marshal during a crash in the Sprint Race. With his ban, and Marquez winning the Grand Prix, it reduces Bezzecchi’s lead over Marquez to just 40 points from 102 just two weeks prior in Mugello. Is this a weakness for Bez going forward, and was it right he was banned?

The race itself is also analysed, as Marquez had to dig extra deep to hold off Ai Ogura’s worn-tyre pace, while Pecco Bagnaia managed his fourth podium finish in a row. And finally, some more follow-up on the F1-esque Concorde Agreement that the sport and factories agreed on. But what does that mean for you as a fan?

Dre Harrison, Lewis Duncan and Pete McLaren host the latest edition of the Crash MotoGP Podcast.

On this week’s episode, the overarching story is the fact that MotoGP’s Concorde Agreement is on the brink of being officially signed off, and discussed is what that means for the sport going forward. This includes marketing promises, rider announcements incoming and only a small amount of financial compensation for the teams taking part. Is this viable for the sport in the long-term?

There’s also a one-bike rule for garages coming in 2027, and Tech3 owner and former F1 boss Guenther Steiner has spoken out firmly against the issue. Is it a good change for the sport?
