And now for Part 2 as for the first time ever, #BikeLive had to split shows! Here's Louis Suddaby and Andre Harrison on the World Superbike weekend at Assen, the granddaddy of bike tracks! In this weekend, the green machine of Kawasaki returned with an extra 250 revs, and two victories to show for it as Rea and Sykes took a win each! Michael van der Mark treated the home fans to two podiums, but Ducati struggled along the way. But the showstopper was in the support classes with Randy Krummenacher falling to the back of the grid due to a fuel error, and still coming back to finish an incredible 2nd, just off Jules Cluzel's first win in 18 months! We also mention the most mental World Supersport 300 race finish EVER. Enjoy!

Only three things in life are certain, Death, Taxes, Marc Marquez winning at the Circuit of the Americas for the 6th time, and the 10th consecutive Marquez win in the USA. He fits in, he likes left turns. Anyway, we'll break down all the weekends action, from the blocking penalty that enraged Twitter, to Andrea Iannone's shock return to the podium, his first with Suzuki! Also more on Crutchlow's lost title lead, and the future of the race at COTA itself! We also talk Moto2 and Moto3 as Pecco Bagnaia broke Alex Marquez to take a hard-fought intermediate class victory, and Jorge Martin broke the tow of Enea Bastianini to take HIS 2nd win of 2018. All that with Andre Harrison, Louis Suddaby and special guest, the Hooniverse's Patrick Hoffstetter. Enjoy, and check back for Episode #57 on Tuesday!

M101 is back, and we're blessing the rains in Alabama, as we got a 4 day weekend! Rain so bad, the race had to be re-run on Monday.with Josef Newgarden dominating proceedings to take his 2nd win of 2018, with Ryan Hunter-Reay's best IndyCar finish in over 2 years, and James Hinchcliffe rounding off the podium. We get into the battle at the front, the rain, TWO cases of fight club between Marco Andretti, Zachary, Clackary, Machary, and Gabby Chaves and Simon Pagenaud nearly getting into a fistfight, and much, much more in this IndyCar special episode with Andre Harrison, RJ O'Connell and Ryan King!

We're back with the second part of another double taping! In this episode, we catch up with the IndyCar GP of Long Beach as Alex Rossi put on a dominant display to take the win over Will Power. The race also had the pass of the year from Sebastien Bourdais on Scott Dixon, and Graham Rahal wrecking Simon Pagenaud's race off Lap 1. We also bring in Hazel Southwell to talk all things Rome ePrix, as Sam Bird continued his title challenge with a win after "Driver for Hire" Felix Rosenqvist hit a kerb and took himself out. We also talk the awful pit lanes, Mitch Evans falling on his sword like a true gladiator, and much more more!

The old guard returned in a mad Superbike Sunday on #BikeLive with Andre Harrison and Louis Suddaby! This episode covers all of British Superbikes at Brands Hatch Indy this past weekend, and the World Superbike Championships return to Aragon. In the former, Bradley Ray proved his human and gifted Shakey a late win, before Leon Haslam dazzled in the wet to narrowly pip Glenn Irwin in a wet Race 2. As for Worlds, Jonathan Rea pulled off one of the most subtly impressive wins in Race 1, before Chaz Davies bullied him into a Race 2 victory! All that and more on #BikeLive!

Sometimes you gotta lick the stamp and deliver that son of a bitch. Daniel Ricciardo steals your girl, and your race wins, taking advantage of some brilliant double stacking and a sudden Safety Car to take his first win of the season, stealing the mantle off of Valtteri Bottas, who drove brilliant to overtake Sebastian Vettel on the undercut. We also mention Max Verstappen finally taking responsibility for a silly move on Sebastian Vettel, ruining the German's race, the Gasly/Hartley incident that caused the Safety Car, Lewis Hamilton's mediocre record-breaking weekend, and a whole lot more from Shanghai, with Andre Harrison, Ryan King, RJ O'Connell, Zoe Hamilton... and "Floyd". Enjoy!

And here's Part 2 of our doubleheader from last week as Ryan, Dre, Chris and RJ break down the IndyCar Grand Prix of Phoenix as Josef Newgarden stole an autograph contest and a win from Robert Wickens (Stop me if you've heard that one before!), with Alex Rossi filling out the podium! We also pay tribute to Jim Clark in the 50th anniversary of his passing!

You know it was kind of a crazy one, when Cal Crutchlow, the surprise winner of the race, wasn't mentioned until the second hour of the show. Welcome to the most heated edition of #BikeLive since the switch. Marc Marquez loses his head, Jack Miller gets screwed on a pair of sudden weather changes, and Alex Rins finishing 3rd barely cracks the Top 10 of crazy shit that went down in Argentina.

Thanks to Josh Sutill for the next two episode titles! And who'd have thought that Formula 2 would be the Main Event in Bahrain! In a weekend filled with ridiculous Motorsport, it would Artem Markelov and Lando Norris stealing the show in Bahrain with wins for both, in what was a pair of fantastic races! Also, Formula 1's race was pretty great too as Sebastian Vettel narrowly held of Valtteri Bottas to take his 2nd straight win in Bahrain, and in 2018, in a race with a broken leg, strategy screw-ups, and a Lewis Hamilton triple overtake, as you do! And we also discuss the outlines for F1 in 2021 as the first draft of plans were unveiled by Liberty Media! Check back on Sunday for Episode 132!

This is certainly not last year, eh? BikeLive returns with Andre Harrison and Louis Suddaby and this week, they review the Thai round of the World Superbike Championship. On paper, it was straightforward with Jonathan Rea and Chaz Davies splitting wins, but in-depth, it's a lot more interesting. Rea struggling when normally so dominant in Race 2, Melandri not channelling PI. Camier nearly sniffing the podium on a much improved Honda. Fores a legit contender? Yamaha still not where they want to be either. All that, and a barmy World Supersport race with Lucas Mahias getting "Krummancher'ed" for the victory, but still missing a certain Turk! And as a special bonus, we got Greg Haines from British Eurosport to join us for a catch-up on the season so far!
