About this episode

Jim and Rich discuss the recent MotoGP race in Le Mans, sharing rants about race lengths and attendance issues.

Jim and Rich are back hosting the show as MotoGp raced in Le Mans this past weekend. The weather, as usual played its part in creating controversy and chaos for the race teams and riders. For Jim and Rich this means rants. The show is filled with both guys ranting about cutting the length of the Moto3 and Moto2 races. Jim really goes off on a tangent about Liberty wanting to run a MotoGP race in Miami on the F1 track. This led to him also ranting on the attendance and the USGP in COTA and how Liberty can increase the number of spectators at US rounds. Rich rants on about the use of social media, the lack of coherent story telling with the Moto3 and Moto2 riders and he rants about time management that causes Moto3 and Moto2 races to be reduced in laps for no apparent reason. Oh and somewhere in this 2 hour long show the guys actually discuss the news and the actual racing from France.
