Oxley Bom MotoGP podcast

Here at Oxley Bom, everyone knows that the thing we're most famous for are our 'charming' personalities. Like, we can promise we don't physically bite - but that's about the limit of what we can guarentee. So you'll understand when I say it is a great honor to have an actual returning guest to our show! Who is this dauntless fellow? Why, it's the awesome Livio Suppo! 
For those not in the know (or those who haven't listened to our interview two years ago) we should probably tell you that Livio is an actual real-life legend in the pit, leading teams for Ducati, Honda and Suzuki. Oh, and he worked with some small riders like Casey Stoner and Marc Marquez. I don't know, you might have heard of them...
So get ready to hear some insights from our man on the inside – but be warned, because this week we’re taking no prisoners!

It's hard being a motorsports journalist, you know? Always traveling the world, visiting exotic countries and having to tell people about all the cutting-edge machines you saw there. It's a horrible job, really, but someone has to do it. And this time, that arduous task fell to Peter. Sorry Peter, you're up!
So yes, we sent our most intrepid expert packing and told him not to come back until he's got some good stories for us.* And here he is, ready to give Mat the debrief on everything he saw at Sepang. Were our predictions last week on the money, or did we miss the mark completely? 
One thing's for sure: we're definitely excited about 2026, now...
Cheers!

*Which some of you have already had a sneak peek at, as Peter shared daily updates with our fantastic Patreon-supporters.

Hey, want to score a special deal? How about a nice MotoGP-rider, pretty fast and only slightly used. No? Maybe prefer a rookie, instead? Someone promising but without proven records, so dirt cheap if you act fast. Better act fast before they're all gone...
Yes everyone, it's Auction Day at Oxley Bom and we are your auctioneers! In front of us: a collection of riders, contracts currently still unsigned. Who will ride into a new season, and who will step out of the race? That's what we're about to find out. It's mean and merciless - but that's business, baby! 
So come with us and get bidding, because these riders are going fast...

We've talked about the riders. 
We've yapped about the manufacturers. 
And today? 
Today we get to the real meat and potatoes...the bikes! 
Never mind that  everybody's still getting ready to start testing in Sepang - we've already got plenty to discuss. We already know a lot about these bikes, so it's time we start looking at the hard questions. Questions like: Are they going to make the racing better? Will they be safer? Are they fun to watch? What's their zodiac? And who might have to get ready for a frosty chat? 
Just, you know, plenty of questions about the machines that define this sport. Let's get some answers!

A certain German philosopher once warned that he who stares into  the racing grid long enough must know that the racing grid also stares back.* This week, Peter discovers that we have some very particular fans in high places, and wishes they stayed anonymous. We can't talk crap about you if we know who you are - stop being friendly to us! Rather, we prefer our listeners and us to be like estranged spouses: cold and distant strangers, drawn together by a shared mania. 

Love you, though, and give our regards to Toprak!

So, to stay on theme, let's get to know our anonymous audience on a first name basis by interacting with them through listener questions! We've got time traveling what-if's, fear for Australia and the tricks to a zen-like flow. Also, one of the above examples is the answer to last weeks' cliffhanger. Exciting! 

So hit play, grab a fresh one and enjoy!

*Or something like that; my German is a bit rusty these days.
