Motegi 2024 - The Ten Million Dollar Question

Oxley Bom MotoGP podcast ·

2024/10/06

A lot can happen in 40 minutes, but if that was the case today then it surely happened somewhere else than Twin Ring Motegi. We can't blame Bagnaia, of course: the man is here to win. Perfection is not entertaining, but pretty impressive. So yes, it was a boring race. But that doesn't mean nothing happened - it just all happened within the little details. For example, Marquez is getting familiar with a new flywheel after last month's disaster in Indonesia, the presence (or lack of!) certain d...

2024/10/04

Officially, it's called the Twin Ring Motegi. So this weekend we're getting two tracks for the price of one! Well, would if we'd needed more than one. And if the other one wasn't made for car's, so let's not speak about it too much. But if you must know, we'll let Cartman explain it to you...Okay, so now about the track we're actually racing on this weekend! Actually, let's just let Peter explain it, because he does a bang-up job of it. Take it away, Peter! (Oh, and as always: don't forget to...

Mandalika 2024 - The Lord of the Rims

Oxley Bom MotoGP podcast ·

2024/09/29

Sometimes, it can all happen in a matter of minutes. One moment we have a four-way battle for the championship, the next finds Bagnaia and Martin as the last two standing. So what happened? Meanwhile, Pedro Acosta gets bogged down in tire pressure regulations but clears them because of a 'leaking wheel rim'. But what does that mean? Is it even possible? Or is Acosta in possession of the mythical Rim of Power? You know, the artefact created by Sauron, the Dark Lord of Motor, that can make it's...

Misano 2024 Redux - It’s A Funny Old World

2024/09/22

Love Misano? Can’t wait every year for the race, and wish you wouldn’t have to wait another year when it’s done before you can see it again? Well, this is your lucky year! Yes, we’re back at Misano and everybody is feeling the heat as this championship is swinging wildly. It might become a test of endurance, where the winner will simply be the one who makes the least mistakes - but what does that mean, and what will it look like? Oh, and stick around for some lovely stories about riders’ dirt...

MotoGP - Grip Like Money

Oxley Bom MotoGP podcast ·

2024/09/15

No race this week, but Mat and Peter have plenty to talk about! First up is a new technology that can only mean trouble: the bloody radio. Yes, we might have been mucking about with radio's for more than a century, but until now nobody had the bright idea to put them inside the rider's helmet. And according to our hosts, there are some bloody good reasons for that...But that's not all, because there's also another brand new piece of tech that a major manufacturer is still trying to keep under...

Misano 2024 - Nature's Sprinkler Surprise

Oxley Bom MotoGP podcast ·

2024/09/08

According to Peter, when the Dutch get that sinking feeling in their stomach that tells you something is about to turn into an unpleasant surprise, they say that they are "feeling wetness". Francesco Bagnaia and Enea Bastianini can probably relate, as they called a surprise downpour's bluff and got away with it. Why? Because it the rain didn't 'smell right'. Call it local wisdom, but that's one hell of an advantage when racing at Misano. So, what exactly happened? And what other teams sh...

Within the microstate of San Marino, there live just over 30.000 people. Those Sammarinese better get ready for a busy weekend, because when MotoGP comes to Misano World Circuit they tend to bring along more than 140.000 (!) visitors. So, what can those roving crowds expect to see this Sunday?Join Peter as he talks us through a track where no bike design has a clear upper hand and where it all comes down to the skills of riders who know every bump and curve like the back of their hand.

Aragón 2024 - How to Win/Lose a Championship

Oxley Bom MotoGP podcast ·

2024/09/01

When asked about his motivation during a race, Usain Bolt explained that he imagined all the other runners were giant spiders: 'And then I get super scared.' But it's not just runners that are privy to this trick: riders, too, have their own fantasies that get their mental engines going. For example, Mat would imagine he's a fox. Luca Marini, today, had a very different trick to keep him sane in last place. And we can only speculate what it was that went through Marc Márquez' head as he took ...

2024/08/31

MotoGP doesn't go to California anymore - so according to Peter, it's a good thing that Europe has it's very own Laguna Seca! It's in Spain, it's less likely to kill you and it's called the Ciudad del Motor de Aragón. We just call it Aragón, for short. This week, find out why you shouldn't bet on any rider who isn't in the two front rows at the grid and why it's a bad idea to have vertigo in Spain. Enjoy!

Red Bull Ring 2024 - Thinking About Danger

Oxley Bom MotoGP podcast ·

2024/08/18

How do you bring excitement to an otherwise rather unremarkable race? Easy: you put the world's most deadly maniac at the fourteenth place and watch what he does. That's why Peter had a great time watching the race from the perspective of Marc Márquez' dashcam. But what exactly went wrong with his bike, and could it have been prevented? Mat and Peter are on the case, and it seems that the killer is that good-for-nothing ride height device...And actually, come to think of it, Márquez was...

BONUS EPISODE: Peter Does Red Bull Ring

Oxley Bom MotoGP podcast ·

2024/08/16

The Red Bull Ring is Silverstone's evil twin: a track that demands vicious and long braking, full of elevation and with very little flow. If you think that sounds too negative, you could also say that it's like a northern Mugello: a place where technical skills are pushed to the limit by riders that have to showcase perfect mastering of stop-and-go manouvering. And just like the energy drink that it's named after, the Ring will definitely raise your heartbeat and give you cold sweats...Want t...

MotoGP - Peter's 26 Kids

Want to be a famous MotoGP racer? Then you'd better start young, move to southern Europe and make a name for yourself. And one of the best places to do that is in Red Bull Rookie Cup. This week, we invite former racer and journalist Peter Clifford for a chat. For the last 18 years, he's been responsible for guiding and helping the young talent in the Rookie Cup. He's worked with people like Acosta and Binder when they were just teenagers, and knows exactly what goes into developing young tale...

Silverstone 2024 - The Wizard of Silverstone

Oxley Bom MotoGP podcast ·

2024/08/04

It's a party at Silverstone, as MotoGP celebrates 75 years of racing there. Or is it actually 76 years? Never mind, back to the celebrations! And there's nobody with more reason to celebrate as Ducati, who continue their spree of dominating the podium with Enea Bastianini, Jorge Martin and Francesco Bagnaia taking respectively first, second and third place. But look behind the results, and you find a race where the bleeding edge tech that dominates modern racing collides with a track th...

When asked to report his experiences of Silverstone, Peter described it as "a place full of history and tradition, that can also be wet, grey, cold and miserable." We then asked him to describe the track rather than the country it's in, and this episode is the result. So grab your bike, put on your headphones and come join us as we take a ride on one of the widest circuits in the tournament, where the engines run hot but the brakes stay cool.

It's rider versus machine in the second part of our electronics special! This week we take a look at the different ways unseen systems determine a rider’s options. From electronic fuel injection to traction control and full drive-by-wire bikes, this is the story of machines performing clever mathematics at high speed. But it’s also the story of ambitious engineers offering riders some clever digital assistance – and all the ways in which those overly helpful boxes can accidentally become over...

2024/07/21

It's 2024, and already we can say for certain that this season of MotoGP is weird. Spectacular rider transfers, a new set of regulations, essential developments in bike designs and even the upcoming farewell of Dorna itself: it's all turning out to be one hell of a ride. And that's not even going into the fact that we are seeing manufacturing legends like Honda struggling harder than they have in a long time.

MotoGP - Everything's Connected!

2024/07/14

Thinking about motorbike engineering, the first thing that springs to most peoples' minds are the nuts and bolts: the incredibly complicated moving engine parts, hydraulics and all the other things that you'd entrust a mechanic to fix with his toolbox. But that's just one part of the bigger picture. Amidst the steel and carbon there's a verifiable web of wires, connecting and crisscrossing microcomputers and sensors all over the bike. They're the nerves that drive the metal muscles of the mac...

Sachsenring 2024 - The Germans Call It Schadenfreude

2024/07/07

Do you want to know the guilty pleasure of any rider? It’s that split second during a heated battle, that magic moment where you see your opponent’s movements slipping, slipping and then, finally, the crash. Nothing serious, mind you. He’ll be back next race. But that’s next race. Today, you own the track. It’s a story as old as time, and this weekend it was performed by Jorge Martin and Pecco Bagnaia at Sachsenring. But besides the great battles, there are some other inc...

On paper, the Sachsenring in Germany mainly stands out for being the shortest track in the entire MotoGP tournament. Meanwhile, on the asphalt itself, it mainly demands attention for being an anti-clockwise, lefthanded motorpark-meets-rollercoaster adrenaline rush. This week, Peter's going to tell us all about where to go fast, where to go cautious, and why a certain Marc Márquez might have a natural advantage here...
