2:12:23

Jim and Rich dive into the crazy, complicated and confusing Grand Prix from Le Mans. The Moto3 boys kicked off the action on damp but drying tack on Sunday morning. The race was calm by the normal Moto3 standards, but the last lap more than made up for the lack of action. Kelso was looking for his first ever Moto3 win and was leading Munoz and Rueda. In the second to last turn Munoz dive bombed Kelso which caused both to go off track. This allowed Rueda to pass both of them and take a surprise victory. The Moto2 riders were forced to watch the back of Gonzalez for the whole race as he dominated. MotoGP was where all the action and surprises were. Quartararo shocked with pole position or Marc Marquez.. In the Sprint Marc used a smooth and patient approach to take the win over his brother and rookie sensation Aldeguer. On Sunday the weather played havoc with everyone as new rules caused chaos. Picking the right tire was critical as some riders went from slicks to wets to slicks and back to wets. However the man who made all the right calls was Zarco. He became the first Frenchmen to win the French Grand Prix in 71 years.

The Moto3 boys started off the evening with a great race that came down to a last lap, last corner dash to the line. By luck or great race strategy Piqueras won his second race of the year will Rueda had a mechanical failure and did not earn any points. Next up the Moto2 Crew had a good as as championship leader Jake Dixon crashed out and slow starting front row man Canet went from 3rd on the grid to 14th and then chased down the leaders to win his first race of the year and take the lead in the championship. Lastly the MotoGP grid bolstered by the return of Martin had their best races of the season. Marc Marquez won the sprint while Bagnaia finished 8th. The race Sunday night was action filled as the Marquez brother tangled at the first turn. Surprisingly Vinales raced to the front on his KTM only to run wide and let Marc take the victory. Bagnaia finished third but was promoted to 2nd after Vinales was penalized for low tire pressure. Morbidelli was third.

Jim and Rich start of this episode with some listener feed back. Seems The guys missed the fact that American Rossi Moor has signed to ride in the Junior GP Moto2 class this year (link below). Next Jim and Rich tackle the news starting off with Pirelli becoming the sole tire supplier for the entire MotoGP paddock in 2027. They discuss the Ogura disqualification and chat about the X rant that people are becoming bored with the sprint races. Lastly they cover all the action from Argentina. Piqueras opened his winning bank account with a somewhat controversial win in Moto3. What does the rule really say about touching the green paint on the last lap? Inquiring minds want to know. British pride was on full display in Moto2 as Jake Dixon took a commanding win and moved into second in the championship chase. Lastly MotoGp and what can you say about Marc’s incredible start to the season. The result may have been the same as last race when Marc battled his brother for the win, but how we got there this time is completely different. The guys also wonder when Marc will actually loose a race.
