The DawgHouse Motorcycle Racing Radio Show 843: 2025 Portuguese MotoGP, Portimao

·31 min·1 clip
Some riders can win on any bike, some need perfection—and it's becoming clear which category each rider falls into.
Three hosts discuss MotoGP season, focusing on rider performance variance and whether bikes or riders determine success. Using Jorge Martin's struggles on Aprilia (versus his championship-winning Ducati year) as primary example, hosts analyze which riders can adapt to any motorcycle and which require perfect equipment. Specific stats include Joanne Muir's record 18 DNFs and comparisons to historical precedent (Casey Stoner, Marc Marquez). Discussion includes 2027 engine regulation change as potential equalizer of manufacturer advantages.
