Toby talks to... engineer Tom Jojic about rider 'feel', Bagnaia, and more

In the second episode of our series of in-depth conversations with paddock people, renowned MotoGP engineer Tom Jojic returns to the podcast for a wide-ranging discussion with host Toby Moody on a variety of topics affecting the grid in 2023.

Toby and Tom discuss the latest aero trends in MotoGP and what 2023's race weekend format changes mean for engineers, before diving into how both have potentially contributed to Pecco Bagnaia’s recent habit of falling off his bike.

They also discuss MotoGP’s ‘electronic war’ and whether this is contributing to riders, like Bagnaia, struggling to ‘feel’ their bikes.

There’s also chat about whether it’s time for Yamaha to ditch their inline-four engine for a V4 and how the Mooney VR46 team can keep their great start to the season going.
