Toby talks to... Wayne Gardner, frank-talking 500cc world champion

On this week’s episode we’re delighted to bring you another ‘Toby Talks To’ conversation, which this week sees host Toby Moody sit down for a lively chat with 1987 500cc world champion Wayne Gardner.

In typically forthright style, Wayne talks us through his remarkable career, including how he got his move to HRC, what it was like to ride bikes that would frequently high side, and how he won the world championship in 1987.

He also talks about his great rivals of the time, the role he played in bringing Mick Doohan to Honda, and why he chose to bow out of Grand Prix racing after the 1992 season, with a subsequent move into car racing.

There is also chat about Casey Stoner, how Gardner nurtured his son Remy’s fledgling career on bikes, and what he would change about modern MotoGP.

And finally, Gardner shares his thoughts on the plight of his former team, Honda, giving his view on what needs to change to bring them back to the front.

A fairytale start to 2022 - Qatar MotoGP review

A fairytale start to 2022 - Qatar MotoGP review

Ducati came into the 2022 MotoGP season as strong favourite and duly won the Qatar Grand Prix opener.But that victory came with its old-spec bike, Enea Bastianini and Gresini Racing, as the factory Ducatis had an absolutely horrible time.Host Toby Moody is joined by Simon Patterson and Matt Beer as The Race MotoGP Podcast tackles all the storylines from Lusail - as the circuit name's now officially spelt to mirror the nearby city and stadium.With Gresini having not won since 2006, lost its founder Fausto Gresini to COVID last year and only just returned to racing under its own identity in MotoGP after seven seasons running Aprilia's works project, Bastianini's win was hugely emotional. We debate whether it's the start of something big or a romantic one-off.As the underdogs won, plenty of big names had things to rue. We delve into Ducati's extraordinary apology to Pecco Bagnaia, Suzuki's failure to convert its pace into results, the ongoing misery at Yamaha and the odd sight of Marc Marquez being beaten by a team-mate.And we celebrate more of the unexpected successes too, from Brad Binder and KTM coming close to victory to Aprilia and Aleix Espargaro looking so at home at the front.

How real is Quartararo's Yamaha frustration?

MotoGP world champion Fabio Quartararo's annoyance at the bike Yamaha has provided him with for his title defence got even louder at the final pre-season test in Mandalika.Is it just a negotiating tactic for a pay rise or a longer contract? Or would Quartararo really walk out on Yamaha?Is Pol Espargaro's Honda seat vulnerable if he does so? And does he risk burning bridges with the team behind his MotoGP rise?Simon Patterson, Valentin Khorounzhiy and stand-in host Matt Beer tackle those questions as The Race MotoGP Podcast delves into everything that went on in the Mandalika test.Our panel explains exactly why the track surface was so problematic, and could still be in parts when MotoGP makes its racing debut there next month.The massive progress Honda and Suzuki seem to have made, a few signs of vulnerability at Ducati, and MotoGP's latest concerning incident involving concussion are just some of the other topics addressed.And with MotoGP's answer to Drive to Survive hitting Amazon Prime soon, we look at the paddock's hopes and fears for its equivalent of the documentary series that has done so much for Formula 1's growth.

Behind the headline times of MotoGP's first 2022 test

With an Aprilia 1-2 on day one and an older-spec Ducati run by an independent team fastest on day two, MotoGP's first 2022 pre-season test wasn't short on surprises.Simon Patterson and Valentin Khorounzhiy join host Matt Beer to go beneath the headline times to make sense of what went on at Sepang last weekend.They explain why Aprilia and Enea Bastianini/Gresini's headline times are much more significant than just being typical testing anomalies.And they look at how that one weekend of testing might've instantly impacted the 2023 rider market, with Fabio Quartararo's unhappiness at Yamaha suddenly much more acute but Suzuki having - maybe - renewed Joan Mir's faith.Big changes at Honda, teething troubles at Ducati and a puzzle at KTM are also analysed.

Danilo Petrucci's Dakar adventure

Danilo Petrucci's Dakar adventure

The Race MotoGP podcast welcomes special guest Danilo Petrucci in its latest edition, as the Italian discusses his first attempt at the Dakar Rally.Petrucci, a two-time race winner in grand prix racing's premier class, left MotoGP at the end of last season but was set up with a shot at the Dakar by employer KTM - which yielded a stage win and several other standout performances.Joining host Toby Moody and MotoGP writers Simon Patterson and Valentin Khorounzhiy, Petrucci discusses the highs but also the lows of his experience in Saudi Arabia, telling stories of frantically trying to find a path when getting lost in the desert and of coming close to pulling out of the rally entirely shortly after his fifth-stage triumph.The Italian also addresses the one part of the Dakar he still struggles to accept, and touches upon why he is set to make a return to road racing in MotoAmerica this season instead of tackling the cross-country world championship - and what this means for his future Dakar plans.
