MotoGP Q&A | 850s, reserve riders and Sylvain’s BSB comeback?

About this episode

The episode features a Q&A session discussing various MotoGP topics and Sylvain's recent BSB testing.

A Qatar-less week means it is time for a full Gas It Out Q&A. Gav, Neil and Sylvain dive into a stack of your questions, from MotoGP’s planned reserve rider rules to whether the 2027 850cc era could repeat the old 800cc problems. There is chat about Marc Márquez, Marco Bezzecchi and Jorge Martín in the title fight, Yamaha’s V4 development, Ducati’s direction, and why Friday can make or break a whole MotoGP weekend. There is also a proper catch-up with Sylvain after BSB testing at Donington, plus a look ahead to his huge few weeks with the Le Mans 24 Hours this weekend and the London Marathon the next. Along the way, there is concern for Aleix Espargaró after his testing crash, debate over sprint-race grids, some commentary talkback nightmares, and one of the more ridiculous questions we have ever had on the pod. If in doubt, Gas It Out. Check out YouTube for a video version of the pod, and get in contact with the boys @gasitoutpod on Instagram. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
