It's over! It's all over! Forever!What am I talking about? The 2025 MotoGP-season, of course. Layed to rest in Spain last week, gone but not forgotten, etc. We all had fun, didn't we? Okay, with that out of the way...it's on to the 2026 season! If you are part of our Patreon, you will already have heard Peter talk about the Valencia test in our special crossover episode. But there is a lot more to be said, and it's high time we did so. So, what did we see the teams testing in Spain last week? First of all: lot's of aero. There's no getting around it, but there's definitely different ways of implementing it. And let's just say that not every type is equally enjoyable for any particular rider. But it's not all just hot (and cold!) air. We've got mass dampeners, rigorous rider training regimens, Ducati's naming schemes and much, much more. So open a drink, turn up the volume, and remember: sometimes the only difference between a calm ass and a calamitous chatterbox is a mere 5 millimeter...(Oh, and thanks to everybody that showed up to our first live performance last week. We had a lot of fun. Hope you had, too! )Want more? Visit our website or support us on Patreon.
