As a special treat to start the season, we've got bonus content coming your way - a preview of what's to come in the Moto2 and Moto3 championships featuring the one and only Neil Morrison, the legendary commentator of the lower classes! Alongside regular host Solomon, we dive into both the junior and intermediate categories to determine who we think are the favourites for the titles, the rookies to watch out for, and the potential future stars of MotoGP. Thanks again to Neil for returning to the show and for providing his wisdom and insights!
