HOLY SHIT what a World Superbike weekend to start the 2018 season. In Episode 48 of #BikeLive, Andre Harrison returns with Louis Suddaby to review all the action! We had the return of flag-to-flags as tyre safety and politics reared their ugly heads again, Tom Sykes putting one over on Jonathan Rea and it NOT being Donington, Yamaha's surprisingly disappointing weekend, and Xavi Fores stealing the show for the little red team that could. That, plus a review of the MotoGP test in Thailand, Rossi dropping a big hint about his future, and Tech3's dramatic breakup with Yamaha and their future too! (It totally isn't KTM, honest)

And for the third and final episode of the week, welcome to Episode 123 of Motorsport101, and in this one, it's a Winter Olympic special while we talk some of our favourite moments from South Korea, and then get stuck into a barmy Daytona 500 as Austin Dillon put the #3 back in Victory Lane, via... bumpy means. We also shoutout the awesome Bubba Wallace Jr. who nosed out Denny Hamlin for 2nd, and stole a lot of fans hearts. We also tackle the Mailbag for the first time in ages, and talk about some of the new F1 cars revealed so far! Enjoy the show!

BikeLive returns for the second time this week to preview the 2018 WorldSBK season!

Dre and Louis Suddaby are back with the first of TWO BikeLive episodes this week, and on this one, we talk all things Valentino Rossi!

Consider this our ultimate season finale. In hindsight, we probably could have split this in two and spread it out over two weeks, but we thought, sod it, we'll give you everything in one go! In this THREE AND A HALF hour double show, we give you a Formula E Hong Kong ePrix Review as Bird and Rosenqvist split wins in very dramatic fashion, a team-by-team Season Review from Sauber all the way up to Mercedes, with ratings, and our Motorsport101 awards show is back, to hand out phallic trophies to the finest... and not so finest of people in Motorsport101 for 2017! And we got a very special guest - We roped in Louis Suddaby from #BikeLive to make it a four-person panel! This will most likely be our final weekly show of 2017, but we'll still have plenty to keep us going through the off-season, so stay tuned! And of course, thanks for listening!

Simply put, Andre Harrison and Louis Suddaby spend 135 minutes breaking down the greatest MotoGP season ever. From Marquez vs Dovi, to Yamaha's struggles.
