Talking Away: Penalties in WorldSBK - Chaz Davies

Two weekends ago at Magny-Cours, the majority of the World Superbike paddock was perplexed as to why Alvaro Bautista was not handed a penalty for crashing into his Aruba Ducati team-mate, Michael Ruben Rinaldi. Heading into MotorLand Aragon this weekend, Eurosport TV commentator Greg Haines catches up with experienced riders Chaz Davies and Jules Cluzel for two very different points of view.

Talking Away about #1 for World Champion racers

2023 sees both Pecco Bagnaia and Alvaro Bautista running No. 1 on their MotoGP and World Superbike Ducati machines. In MotoGP, it’s the first time the famous single digit has appeared on a bike for over ten years. With this in mind, should organisers make it mandatory for the top rider to use the lowest number? Greg is joined by a star panel made up of Dennis Noyes, Neil Hodgson, James Toseland, Michael Laverty and Michael Guy. Opinions may differ!

Join us for a chat and a giggle with the one and only Tom Sykes! The former Superbike World Champion is back for a third consecutive season with the BMW Motorrad WorldSBK team and can’t wait to get the 2021 season started on the formidable M 1000 RR factory superbike. Testing is now over and the serious business of racing is about to begin, but Tom Sykes is also well known for his wicked sense of humour, so listen to the laid-back Yorkshireman talk all about superbikes, big-boxer R 18s and budgies – but not necessarily in that order!

WorldSBK was Amazing, MotoGP is Cancelled! | Ep. 131

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.

Has Ducati Put WorldSBK in a Sticky Situation? - Ep. 114

Its official - Ducati has built an almost-GP bike for racing in WSBK and its amazing already. Alvaro Bautista trounced the field at Phillip Island, winning all three races. The only thing he did "bad" was his Superpole lap. But what does this mean for WorldSBK? We are going to love seeing someone else have a real shot at the title against Rea and Kawasaki. What about Davies, Rinaldi, and Laverty? What about next year? What about all the private teams? What about selling homologation specials? Its the start of the year and there are lots of questions.

Winning Yamahas in MotoAmerica & WorldSBK - Ep. 96

Superbike racing had 2 amazing weekends recently with MotoAmerica at RoadAmerica and WorldSBK at Brno. You asked for more non-MotoGP coverage, so you are getting it!

Toni Elias, Cam Beaubier, and Josh Herrin put in some amazingly hard passes in America's National Series for the best 2 races we've seen all year. Someone went down, drama bubbled up, and Rob wonders if penalties are going to get in the middle of this great racing. America still seems to follow "turnabout is fair play" and we like it.

WorldSBK race 1 isn't worth talking about... but race 2, oh man. The two factory Kawasaki racers came together, reminding us of recent GP incidents. And again, Rob wonders about penalties - did Race Direction only not penalize Sykes because he crashed after? On top of that Alex Lowes put in a solid performance to take his first SBK win and Yamaha's 3rd in 4 races.

Lastly, we introduce our new segment, the BrotoGP Hotline. Petrucci Iannone Rossi Rossi Dovi Hayden. Call us, ask a question, and you could make it onto the show!

Le Moans - Ep. 94

We owe everyone a LeMans GP episode, and you all know what happened - every rider that mattered honey-potted us into thinking the race was going to be amazing. Marquez dropped spots early to spice up the race. Jorge put on a good show in the first few laps. Dovi and Zarco had something for MM's race pace. And Danilo and Rossi had a good battle... but it all didn't matter.

The Silly Season is still hot because we all don't know what Jorge is going to do. There's big rumors about Joan Mir and Suzuki. We talk some retirement for Dani Pedrosa. Iannone may go to Repsol. And Duc is publicly talking shit about Lorenzo. WTH?

For the first time this season, WSBK gave us 2 unexpected exciting races. So we gotta cover it. No one would have guessed that Michael van der Mark would win, let alone completely own Rea and do the double. We try not to bag on Rea too much, but he is killing WSBK.

We finish this one off with a few listener questions.

Racing Is Back, Rea Didnt Win - Ep. 85

Racing is officially back for the 2018 season with WorldSBK Round 1 at Phillip Island. Yes, we recorded a WSBK episode because A LOT of shit went down this weekend. #anyonebutrea came true for both races with Melandri taking the double. Kawi missed the setup and had a bunch of small problems that made it impossible for them to dominate. Rob gets a lot of air time talking about tires, as Pirelli screwed up big time with riders experiencing massive tire issues. He even goes over the WSBK rule changes and whether or not they did anything (yet). After all those WSBK shenanigans, we start talking about some riders that are important to us - Gagne, PJ, Hafizh, Pecco, and MM. Then we finish off with some listener comments and reactions to the races.

A Plan to Beat the T1000 - Ep. 79

The season is over and we talkin' bout practice. The factories take one day off, then start showing us their plans for 2018 at Valencia. Yamaha brought a new motor, Ducati didn't bring much, HRC brought a whole new bike, and all the other riders jumped around to different bikes. We give Miller some time, discuss Iannone's need for mustache winglets, and talk a bunch more shit. Then we jump into the Jerez test where Johnny Rea showed everyone that whoever is making the WSBK regulations missed the mark (again). Kawi is way ahead, Duc is way behind, and everyone else still isn't going to win. Rob gives the full tech-talk rundown on the 2018 WSBK regulation and why they probably won't work... at least until Kev and Ev tire of it all. Then we finish this long episode off with listener questions.

Episode 74 - WSBK and MotoAmerica, Unwrapping SBK Titles

We did it again - here's another off-the-cuff long episode that went a bit nuts. This time we are talking production racing. Jonathan Rea just won the WorldSBK championship, but I'm not sure that anyone outside of his family and his team were that stoked on it. We talk about the woes that WSBK is having, why Duc didn't challenge for the title, what's going on with Camier and MV, and a bunch of other shit. Then we segue to improving WSBK competition and viewership, both with our hopes for rule changes and any potential for Americans in the series. We use that to transition to MotoAmerica, where we give you the whole rundown. Toni and Suzuki destroyed everyone and the racing was great. We also discuss the talent in MA and where we hope its going to end up. But MA is taking a huge risk next year with rule changes, some we like and some we don't. There are quite a few tangents in there too. Then we finish this off with listener questions again.

Episode 67 - Chaz, Please Make WSBK Fun Again

Rapid fire episode, WSBK this time. The last one wasn't short enough and this one isn't either - still worth it. We talk about racing first, specifically how Chaz and Rea went full on beast-mode in separate races. We even cover the American wildcard Gagne a bit. Then the shit starts flying. Kev had it up to here with Laguna's shitty cell service and WSBK's ridiculous grid reshuffle system. The perfect storm of crap meant that Laguna's best turnout in years was all for nothing, creating yet another forgettable Sunday of WSBK racing. But all is not lost - BrotoGP has the solutions. Make WSBK great again!

Episode 66 - Elias, the MotoAmerican Dream

Surprise! Its the summer break but BrotoGP is gonna be bringing you a bunch of new content. We just got back from Laguna Seca and MotoAmerica is up first. The racing was phenomenal and dare I say, Kev was a bit surprised. MotoAmerica and practically everyone racing in it have had a huge resurgence in the past few years and thats all we are going to talk about. Toni Elias is living the true MotoAmerican dream leading the SBK title. Josh Herrin finally puts his privateer Yamaha on the box. There are rider stories left and right and we expect that it will attract fans, money, and maybe even new riders. MotoAmerica is rising from the ashes and it rocks.

Episode 54 - WSBK Opener is REA-lly Good, Watch It

BrotoGP has a bit of a dilemma every time WSBK racing comes around. Everyone seems to care about GP more and SBK racing gets a bit lost. So for this episode, we are going to convince you (and Kev) to watch this racing. Crazy shit went down in Phillip Island with 3 amazing races. The Rea vs. Davies battle resumed with Marco Melandri spicing it up on the other Duc. The grid shuffle allowed more racers to fight up front in Race2. Even WSS had a crazy tight finish between some unexpected podium finishers. Aside from all that, Kev talks shit about fake factory teams and the little hope their riders have. We sneak in our thoughts on the WSS talent, the new R6, and what will happen when Kenan comes back. Then we hard segue over to GP and talk about the only bit of recent news - Marquez dislocating his other shoulder and his hopes for a long record-breaking career.
