Paddock Pass Podcast - Motorcycle Racing - Motogp - World Superbike

Jonathan Rea will leave a legacy unlike any other when he hangs up his helmet after the final round of the 2025 WorldSBK season. The six times World Champion confirmed his decision today and Steve and Gordo break down the career he's had and what it means for the Superbike World Championship

Balaton Park: a winner? We cast our thoughts from the new circuit on the fourteenth round of 2025 MotoGP, the red strain of the current series, two emerging challengers (perhaps) and more as the world championship pushes out of another double-header

Welcome to Balaton Park! The first Hungarian Grand Prix since 1992 is inching closer and Adam and Neil have been dodging rainfall in the brand new paddock close to Balaton Lake. Pecco’s diplomacy, Marc’s chances, Miller’s frustration, Moto2 mover gossip and an exclusive talk with Dorna CCO Dan Rossomondo about the new American TV outlet. Have a Llsten! And then join us on Patreon for Friday and Saturday shows.

The train rolls on for one rider, one team, one brand in 2025 MotoGP but Austria delivered a few talking points as well as the welcome sight of MotoGP cranked up to full pelt after the summer break (also hard on the anchors at one of the most demanding tracks for braking). Adam, David and Neil get on the mics from the Red Bull Ring Media Centre to go through the categories and we also speak to Gresini and Red Bull KTM in post-GP pitlane

Adam, David and Neil are joined by Austrian journalist Markus Zörweg at a stuffy Red Bull Ring to dissect the topics and comments of Thursday’s activities for round 13 of 2025 MotoGP. Injuries, Stability Control, the forthcoming Balaton Park & crowd expectations in Spielberg. Tuck in. Pic by Polarity Photo

The guys are joined by TV Producer Alannah Fellows as she talks about the effort behind-the-scenes to get MotoGP live on the screen. The hassles, the satisfaction, the near-misses and the expertise. We also preview the return to action for 2025 and the trip to the fearsome Red Bull Ring: will the Marc Marquez streak continue unabashed? Pic by Polarity Photo.

A slightly belated WorldSBK show from Round 8 of the season saw two thirds of the campaign in the books and the summer break begin. What did Steve and Gordo think of the Balaton Park Circuit in Hungary? What's happening with the rider market? Who's the biggest winner, loser and surprise of 2025? We answer all these questions!

The summer break offers up a great moment to reflect of the 2025 MotoGP season so far: can anyone challenge Marc Marquez in the 2nd half of the year? Who's been the big disappointment? And the surprise? Plus, we have an exclusive interview with Suzuka 8 Hour winner Johann Zarco. Pic by LCR Honda.

Bless you Brno. Was the return to Czechia a memorable one for 2025 MotoGP? The song remained the same but the stage was significantly different. Adam, David and Neil dissect the highlights of what they saw and heard on the ground at Brno: Marquez brilliance, Aprilia’s boom, KTM’s resurgence. Also, our ‘Hire and Fire’ and we also hear from Aprilia Racing CEO Massimo Rivola.

MotoGP is back at Brno, and Jorge Martin is back in MotoGP, and at long last, he can answer all those questions we have been wanting to ask him. Why did he want to leave Aprilia? What changed his mind to make him stay? Does he have any regrets about the whole thing? Neil and David sit down after a special press conference with the world champion and talk you through everything that happened.

The UK Round of WorldSBK saw lots for Steve and Gordo to dig into! Whether it was the rider market for 2026, weight penalties for Bautista or Scott Redding's future Donington Park gave plenty to look over and assess. Toprak Razgatlioglu retook the title lead but this one looks set to go right to to the wire...

Finally, a steady weather day at Sachsenring for another barrage on the statistics by a certain Catalan Ducati star. Why so many crashes though? Who deserves more credit? Our ‘Hire and Fire’ picks, your questions and more

Adam, David and Neil bring an update on news and opinions from Sachsenring after the first day of set-up and media work in Germany: Alex Marquez and Luca Marini’s fitness, Yamaha’s V4, looking ahead to Brno, wary of weather and some gossip

The full Paddock Pass Podcast crew share their thoughts and memories of the Sachsenring, home of the German Grand Prix since 1998, and debate who might finish second on Sunday. Dorna Sports’ Global Marketing Director, Kelly Brittain, also makes her PPP debut to talk about her experience in F1, how MotoGP could grow, Liberty Media and why we might not be seeing a ‘Ride to Survive’.

A sixth ‘set’ for MM93 and a first win on the hallowed ground of the TT Circuit Assen since 2018. Adam, David and Neil get on the mics from the Media Centre at the track to get shouty and go through their categories and observations from the tenth round of 2025 MotoGP.

Adam, David and Neil are joined on the microphones by former multi Dutch TT Grand Prix podium finisher Wilco Zeelenberg as the guys talk about the Assen centennial, memories, the track, Jorge Lorenzo’s collarbone and more

Adam, David and Neil connect via the Mugello Media Centre to chop-up their opinions and takes on the ninth round of MotoGP. Moments, Flavours, Hire/Fires, the Marqui, Pecco’s purgatory and more

Paddock Notes: Mugello Thursday - Embrace the colour by Apex Radio Collective

Toprak Razgatlioglu was the name on everyone's lips in the build-up to Misano. The sixth round of the season saw WorldSBK reach the halfway point of the campaign and after a Toprak Triple there are now just nine points between him and Nicolo Bulega. Both could be lining up on a MotoGP grid together in the future and Steve and Gordo dive into that and all the other news from the WorldSBK paddock

Pace, pizza & panache: it can only be time for Mugello and the Italian Grand Prix. Adam, David and Neil talk about the Autodromo, some MotoGP news and views and also speak exclusively to HRC’s Joan Mir.
