Ad-free MotoGP pod: Martin's bullish debut in Aprilia colours
Added 2025-01-17 13:06:00 +0000 UTCThe Race MotoGP Podcast's coverage of the 2025 launch season begins with a two-for-one special, covering the presentations of Aprilia and its satellite team Trackhouse.
Val Khorounzhiy is joined by Simon Patterson on-site at Aprilia's event to discuss champion Jorge Martin's first public appearance as a fully-fledged Aprilia rider - which featured the confirmation that he will run the champion's #1 this year.
Will Aprilia be enough for Martin, what does it need to take the next step, and how are the two parties looking as a combination? And is there already confidence that Marco Bezzecchi, another new Aprilia hire, will overcome the problems that wrote off his 2024?
Plus, Simon explains why he found the Trackhouse launch alarming - while Val quizzes Davide Brivio on Trackhouse's faith in extracting Raul Fernandez's potential.

100% - I wonder how much potential sponsors in the US have been put off by the liberty media acquisition stalling as well

2025-01-17 22:22:25 +0000 UTCAs an american Trackhouse fan Iβm 100 biased and excited about the launch. But I feel like the criticism for lack of sponsors for the team ignores the fact we donβt actually see the Trackhouse bikes in races. The footage shows very little and itβs hard to attract sponsors when the only time you see the bike is when itβs crashing. Iβm also Williams fan too and but I still get to see Albon racing back markers, same cool Gulf logo too.
