About this episode

The episode discusses the thrilling racing events at Mugello, including highlights from Moto3, Moto2, and MotoGP.

Jim and Rich are joined by Karl Hun, who just returned from the races at Mugello, to talk about all the racing action. Moto3 was as exciting as ever. It kicked off with qualifying when many riders missed their final laps because they waited in the pits too long. Quiles never could catch a tow and ended up starting from 15th. He soon raced his way to the front but almost high sided in the last corner on the penultimate and finished off the podium for the first time this year. The Moto2 was the best one of the weekend as all the intrigue was during the last four laps. Viette was closing fast on the leaders after failing to get out of QP1. He tired his best but could not catch Gonzalez. Ortola's great ride was halted by a technical problem. Finally a shout out to Escrig who had an excellent qualifying but was taken off the track by Lopez, who received a long lap penalty. The MotoGP race saw Aprilia sweep the front row in qualifying, set a new top speed record of 229.3MPH and wins in both the sprint and GP on Sunday. Marc Marquez returned to racing and finish fourth in the Sprint and seventh in the Gp after a race long battle with future team mate Acosta. If possible please donate to…
