Did you really think Miguel Oliveira was going to win? Again? On a KTM? In Portugal? What...the...2020. Let the MotoGP Off-Season begin! This one gets nuts and a bit NSFW - I mean, even more than normal.

MotoGP 2020 is decided. Its time to talk championships, later development for Suzuki, Franco Morbidelli and the "worst" Yamaha, the exodus from GP by the old guard, and the disappointment that is Taka Nakagami at Honda.

It was about time for 2020 to start nailing down the MotoGP champion. Joan Mir now has one hand on the trophy after the Valencia #1 race. Yamaha was caught cheating just before, which turned out to NOT be the worst part of their weekend. And the rest of the grid showed they aren't championship ready - except Alex Rins of course.

The 2020 MotoGP championship will certainly be remembered. But what of its newly crowned champion? Will this championship mean MORE to the racers, teams, and fans? Or will everyone attach a big fat asterisk to this crazy season and the title winner?

The Le Mans and Aragon 1 rounds of MotoGP were full of new surprises. Fabio Quartararo, Joan Mir, Valentino Rossi, Alex Marquez, Andrea Dovizioso - take your pick. They've all left the MotoGP world a little shocked. The 2020 Championship closes up once again! Joe Roberts made the headlines twice for these rounds - one bad and one good tidbit. We'll probably have some time for MotoAmerica and US Road Racing in this one too.

Huge mistakes had a major impact on the races at Misano and Catalunya with both Pecco Bagnaia and Andrew Dovizioso crashing out. Ducati racers choked and the championship has now swung back in favor of Yamaha and Suzuki - yes Suzuki. Fabio Quartararo is the winningest rider this year, but Joan Mir is coming for him. Dennis and Kev get into a heated debate over the best bike on the grid - Yamaha or Suzuki. One side looks at the numbers and the other goes off emotion, and you might be surprised which is which. And of course, we discuss the interesting year Dovizioso and Ducati are having, including their full team rider swap.

The home crowd at Misano always hopes for a race like this - and they finally got one. Well, maybe except for the last lap. But once again, we were treated to more than a few surprises with this race.

We covered a lot of topics during this episode - KTM vs Suzuki again, the "real" season started at Misano, the effects of COVID and a missing Marquez, Alex Marquez's issues in GP, Maverick's woes, and Dovi's retirement questions. But the main topic is of course Franco Morbidelli, Rossi's legacy, and the VR46 Rider Academy.

The uncertainty of MotoGP races in 2020 is insane. The crash during Austria #1 was scary. The rest of the racing, especially Austria #2 was exciting to say the least. Andrea Dovisioso wins within 24 hours of telling Ducati to kick rocks. Joan Mir shows Jack Miller the best line on the final lap. Red flags impacted EVERYTHING. Miguel Oliveira stole the show from both Miller and Pol Espargaro. Oh, and did we mention that Marc Marquez won't be back for a while? We can only hope this insanity continues for the rest of the year.

MotoGP 2020 is something new, something different that you've never seen before. And we like it! GP hit their 2 track (3 round) of the year at Brno this past weekend. As with life right now, it was NUTS! If you haven't seen the race yet, go watch it NOW!

Here are the quick talking points:
- Brad Binder and KTM Won a GP Race.
- Johann Zarco put a 3rd-tier Ducati on the podium even after a bullshit penalty.
- Franco Morbidelli rode like a boss and finally defeated his teammate (and all the other Yamahas).
- Kev finally gets to throw down about the Medical Officers and Marc Marquez's broken arm.

I doubt anyone would have guessed that the (first) Andalucian GP at Jerez would be MORE action packed than last weekend's shocking result. There was no race for the lead, but the rest of the pack more than made up for it. There were tons of passes, lots of mistakes, mechanicals, and so many crashes that we had to cringe. There's lots to talk about. Let's do this!

MotoGP at its first Spanish GP in Jerez race was HOT. The track was baking, the teams were on the back-foot, and the riders said this would be one of the most difficult races ever. Some racers were caught out as early as Saturday. Other races made mistakes Sunday morning. And there were a few big mistakes during the Sunday race. This race was NUTS!

MotoGP's first event of 2020 starts in a few hours. Sure, we had Moto2 and Moto3 race at Qatar. Now its time for the big show. Its time to remind ourselves how amazing life can be with the fastest racers and motorcycles on the planet finally hitting the track in anger.

MotoGP hosted a virtual race featuring 10 GP riders that could be convinced to buy a video game. It was definitely fun - but you know Kev had something to rant about. This episode then flows into any topic you can think of. The most relevant topic might be the idea that wishing for pro sports in a normal world might not be the best thing right now. The cutest topic might have been 'cats'. The most off the wall-topic is the surprising and newly formed BrotoGP Book Club. The most entertaining topic might be what classic races should you watch right now. But the best is likely Kev's idea for new content that Dorna should be producing now - 'directors commentary' of races by the racers themselves.

WorldSBK at Phillip Island treated us to some of the closest racing we've seen from that paddock for a decade. Toprak Razgotlioglu, Johnny Rea, and Alex Lowes all took home wins. With Scott Redding bagging three 3rds and Michael Van Der Mark close behind, the championship is tight for the top 5. Hopefully this is a preview of things to come for the entire year and we get a 3-4 horse race for the 'ship.

Unfortunately, amazing racing in Australia isn't the biggest story of the week. The global health crisis has caused cancellations and postponements throughout international sports competition. Dorna Sports has cancelled the Qatar GP for the MotoGP class because of a 2-week quarantine for anyone that has recently been in Italy - which of course is likely half the paddock. Thankfully Moto2 and Moto3 teams were already in Qatar from their winter test and can race. The Thai GP and Qatar WSBK round are both postponed. We have no idea where things will go from here.

Aside from all that serious stuff, this episode was nuts. Join us live next time to get in the middle of all these antics.

February 2020 is here, which means MotoGP bikes on track for pre-season testing. There has been a lot of racing news over the past month or two. Here's our highlights. Andrea Iannone still isn't riding because his B-sample failed. His lawyers are doing there thing and he might still race this year. Jorge Lorenzo is back on a Yamaha and many are stoked about it. Of course, the Yamaha won testing again. The Dorna Media Machine is making it painfully clear that Marquez's shoulder isn't 100% - BrotoGP isn't sure it'll matter by Valencia. Lastly, Michelin threw a wrench into the entire 2020 season with a new rear tire - Hooray!

BrotoGP will be live on Youtube for many of our recordings. Check our social media to join in the fun. Sorry about the delay in posting this - new software brings new issues.

Rob's Tech Tape is back, and this time we went Live! MotoAmerica Superbike racer Kyle Wyman is joining me to add a ton more experience and insight for all these questions. We cover everything from riding technique, to motorcycle electronics, to tires. Some topics we go way too far into and others we just brush the surface.

Do you take supplements? Are you absolutely certain there are no illicit or banned substances in them? How do you know?

Andrea Iannone has almost failed a drug test, with his A-sample containing an anabolic steroid. BrotoGP has no idea what's going to happen to his career just yet. But first, Kev wants to set a few things straight. #1 - Its very possible to unknowingly consume a tainted supplement. #2 - PEDs would benefit motorcycle racing in more ways than you might think. This goes deep.

After that, we hit up MotoAmerica's loss of the Yoshimura team, their replacement, and what this means for MotoAmerica. Then we talk about the new Superbike Cup and how its going to benefit the Superbike class and MotoAmerica as a whole.

Chronicling the true story of 68 year old New Zealand native Burt Munro and his quest to set a land speed record, The World's Fastest Indian has cemented itself as a pinnacle of the motorsport movie genre. Almost fifteen years after its release, we sit down to offer a fresh and contemporary analysis of a film that’s only gained relevance with age.

All the Yamahas are finally seeing some improvement in MotoGP near the end of the season. So we finally get a real battle between Maverick Vinales and Marc Marquez. We've had to wait quite a while, but it might have been worth it. We also cover Fabio and his disappointment, Alex Marquez's Moto2 title, and some other Yamaha topics. We haven't spoken highly of Yamaha in months, so this one felt good.

BrotoGP is here to wax poetically about the most exciting things in motorcycle racing. The Japanese GP at Motegi was not one of those. Thankfully we are gifted with a new British Superbike Champ in Scott Redding. Leon Camier and Barni racing gets a little air-time. We cover the "fiasco" that was Race 1 of the WSBK Argentina round in San Juan, based on the little information that we have. And we finally talk about Johann Zarco riding for HRC for the 3 season-ending races. Phillip Island is up tomorrow so listen to this ASAP.
