Race 1: THE REMATCH Will Power on pole, Patricio O’Ward starts 2nd, here we go GREEN FLAG AND THE CAUTION COMES OUT (Rossi, Andretti, Pagenaud, Veach, Carpenter, Askew, Palou pileup) Scott Dixon joins the 50 club: Two wins adrift of Mario Andretti (52) Takuma Sato finishes a close 2nd - but not before a Pass of the Year candidate around the outside of O’Ward (finished 3rd) Power fades to 17th, two laps down, after a late puncture; Newgarden stuck in 12th, pitted before 2nd caution for weather Results http://www.imscdn.com/indycar_media/documents/2020-08-29/indycar-officialraceresults-r1.pdf Race 2 What the fuck was this parade Newgarden edges O’Ward out of the pits, Power gets stuck behind Carpenter on pit entry nOt NoW sAtO!!!

Almost as big a surprise as his girlfriend. Anywho, the boys return for a review for MotoGP's 2nd race in Austria, the Styria, with the top class providing an all-time classic and controversy in the junior rounds! MotoGP in Styria Holy crap, Miguel Oliveira wins with a brilliant final corner DOUBLE overtake on Jack Miller and Pol Espargaro to take his maiden victory in the top flight! It was also a race of two halves as Joan Mir was the big loser after Maverick Vinales had to jump off a Yamaha that had a brake failure... at 180 miles per hour, causing a red flag! Fabio Quartararo could only manage 13th after numerous brake issues and we discuss their latest mechanical gremlin. And holy crap the title standings, Top 13 covered by 41 points! In Moto2, Jorge Martin narrowly avoids being gunned down by Marco Bezzechi, only for the win to be taken away from him due to a track limits breach on the final corner! Aron Canet binned it from pole, Remy Gardner finally got back on the podium too, with Tetsuya Nagashim

We really ought to retire the catchphrase. Yep, this is a review of the 104th Running of the Indianapolis 500 as Takuma Sato stole Scott Dixon's lunch money after one of the most dominant displays in the history of the race - The latter leading 111 laps! Some of the key talking points we mention are below: Start Scott Dixon immediately takes the lead from Marco Andretti, Zach Veach makes contact with Ed Carpenter on the short chute between 1 and 2 Lap 6 - First Caution James Davison had a catastrophic brake failure as his right-front wheel caught fire then exploded. It is believed that his front brake line pinched or kinked, clamping the front brakes shut with almost 300 pounds of pressure. Lap 25 Marcus Ericsson crashes in Turn 1 Lap 84 Dalton Kellett crashes in Turn 3 Lap 93 During the restart, Conor Daly spins out in Turn 4. Oliver Askew spears into the inside wall avoiding the incident. Lap 100 The race restarts, Dixon and Rossi leapfrog each other away from the rest of the field. Lap 122 Alex Palo
