Moto2 World Champion. MotoGP podium finisher. KTM development rider. TV pundit. And still bloody fast.
Pol Espargaró joins Gav and Hodgy for a brilliant deep dive into life on both sides of the MotoGP fence.
Having returned to race action this season as Viñales' replacement while also helping develop KTM’s new 850cc machine, Pol is in a unique position to explain what MotoGP’s huge 2027 reset will actually feel like for the riders. He talks Pirelli tyres, less aero, overtaking, why the new bikes could transform the racing and why he still wants another chance to line up on the grid - albeit not on these flyaway races!
There’s also a fascinating look at Pedro Acosta. Pol calls him “one in a million”, explains the things he sees in Pedro’s data that simply don’t make sense, and discusses what we might learn when Acosta goes up against Marc Márquez. Who he has first hand experience of being teammate to...
Plus, returning to the madness of a MotoGP start after stepping away from full-time racing, the difference between testing and racing, and the crash that changed the direction of his career.
The world’s fastest TV pundit? We await any challenge to that statement.
