Gas It Out

Ducati turned up at Mugello ready to celebrate their centenary, but Aprilia had other ideas.This week on Gas It Out, we review a brilliant Italian Grand Prix weekend as Marco Bezzecchi delivered a dream Mugello victory, Jorge Martin completed an Aprilia one-two, and Pecco Bagnaia was left clinging on to third ahead of a charging Ai Ogura.It was probably Trackhouse’s strongest weekend yet, with Raul Fernandez’s Sprint win, and Ai Ogura’s late pace, Fabio Di Giannantonio’s missed opportunity, and the brilliant Acosta versus Marquez battle that lit up the middle of the race.There’s also plenty on the atmosphere at Mugello, which felt properly old school again, plus quick nods to Moto2's Manu-show, Moto3's craziness (hurrah MLav!), WorldSBK at Aragón, and a look ahead to Balaton Park.Recorded from Italy with slightly improvised audio, because passports, public holidays and DHL have all joined forces this week. No rest for the wicked.

After the relief of leaving Barcelona behind, MotoGP heads to one of the most spectacular racetracks in the world: Mugello.Ducati arrive at their home Grand Prix with high expectations during their centenary celebrations, but compatriots Aprilia are coming for them on Italian soil, with Marco Bezzecchi leading the championship and Jorge Martin firmly in the fight despite a torrid weekend in Catalonia. Stuck between the two, Pecco Bagnaia hopes to deliver at a circuit where he painted the town red three years in a row, but could Fabio Di Giannantonio be Ducati’s biggest home threat? And is Marc Marquez really ready to return at one of the fastest and most physical tracks on the calendar?Gavin, Neil and Sylvain preview the prestigious Italian Grand Prix, the growing Ducati v Aprilia rivalry, Pedro Acosta’s chances, the magic and brutality of Mugello, and why the next few weeks could define the championship.

When the championship leader barely gets a mention, you know there have been one or two talking points for the gang to get into.The Catalan Grand Prix gave us one of the most dramatic and frightening MotoGP weekends in recent memory, with huge crashes, multiple starts, injuries, tyre pressure penalties and a race winner whose brilliant performance almost became a side story.Gavin Emmett is joined by Neil Hodgson and Sylvain Guintoli to discuss whether MotoGP really did dodge a bullet in Barcelona, what happened in the Alex Márquez and Johann Zarco incidents, and the big question after two huge red flag incidents: should the race have been restarted, or is that simply the reality of racing?There’s also plenty on Fabio di Giannantonio’s superb victory, Pedro Acosta’s latest near miss, KTM’s technical troubles, Jorge Martin’s difficult weekend, plus Moto2, Moto3, WorldSBK and British Superbikes.A chaotic weekend. Some very big questions. Just not about who is leading the series.

Aprilia made history at Le Mans with a stunning 1-2-3 in the French Grand Prix, as Jorge Martin completed the double and closed to within a single point of teammate Marco Bezzecchi in the MotoGP World Championship.Gavin Emmett is joined by Neil Hodgson and Sylvain Guintoli to dig into a huge weekend in France: Martin’s return to form, Bezzecchi’s new pressure from inside the same garage, Ai Ogura’s first MotoGP podium, and what this means for Aprilia’s title hopes.There’s also a big Ducati discussion after Pecco Bagnaia’s promising Sprint and Sunday crash, plus the injury blow for Marc Marquez after his Sprint fall and subsequent surgery.The lads also look at Fabio Quartararo’s brilliant home weekend on the Yamaha, Johann Zarco’s Le Mans love-in, a spicy final-corner moment between Fabio Di Giannantonio and Pedro Acosta, and quick hits from Moto2 and Moto3 after wins for Izan Guevara and Maximo Quiles.Then it’s on to Barcelona, where low grip, rear tyre life and a one-point Aprilia title fight await.If in doubt, Gas It Out.

Le Mans is back, and so is one of the biggest weekends on the MotoGP calendar. Gavin, Neil and Sylvain preview the French Grand Prix, look at what makes the event so special, and ask whether the weather could once again turn the whole weekend upside down.They discuss Johann Zarco’s unforgettable win last year, Fabio Quartararo’s hopes of making an impact at home, and why Aprilia still look like the benchmark heading into round five. There is also chat on what the Jerez test may or may not have told us, MotoGP’s wildcard changes, Andrea Iannone’s bagger return, plus a quick look at World Superbikes and the opening round of British Superbikes.Follow Gas It Out on YouTube and your podcast app, and get in touch on Instagram at @gasitoutpod.

Marc Marquez took sprint victory, Alex Marquez won the Grand Prix, and Ducati finally returned to the top step on Sunday in Jerez. But did they really deliver? Gavin, Neil and Sylvain look back on a Spanish Grand Prix that gave the Marquez brothers one win and one crash each, while Aprilia still left town looking like the bike to beat in MotoGP in 2026.The lads get into Marc’s extraordinary sprint race, Alex’s composed Sunday response, Johann Zarco’s standout weekend for Honda, and the frustration for KTM and Yamaha. There is also a look at the bigger picture after Jerez, what the post-race test might mean, plus big Moto2 and Moto3 talking points including Senna Agius and Maximo Quiles.Plus, Sylvain reflects on his London Marathon effort in his full leathers, the pain, the emotion, and the huge money raised for PASIC. https://2026tcslondonmarathon.enthuse.com/pf/sylvain-guintoliSubscribe to Gas It Out on YouTube and your podcast app, and get in touch on Instagram or YT @gasitoutpod

A Qatar-less week means it is time for a full Gas It Out Q&A.Gav, Neil and Sylvain dive into a stack of your questions, from MotoGP’s planned reserve rider rules to whether the 2027 850cc era could repeat the old 800cc problems. There is chat about Marc Márquez, Marco Bezzecchi and Jorge Martín in the title fight, Yamaha’s V4 development, Ducati’s direction, and why Friday can make or break a whole MotoGP weekend.There is also a proper catch-up with Sylvain after BSB testing at Donington, plus a look ahead to his huge few weeks with the Le Mans 24 Hours this weekend and the London Marathon the next.Along the way, there is concern for Aleix Espargaró after his testing crash, debate over sprint-race grids, some commentary talkback nightmares, and one of the more ridiculous questions we have ever had on the pod.If in doubt, Gas It Out.

He was cool before motorcycle racing knew how to market cool. Sending it way before Full Send became a thing.In this special episode of Gas It Out, Gavin Emmett, Neil Hodgson and Sylvain Guintoli sit down with 1993 500cc World Champion Kevin Schwantz at his Texas ranch for a funny, honest and often fascinating deep dive into one of the most captivating careers the sport has ever seen. Brief but brilliant.From motocross beginnings to Grand Prix glory, Schwantz reflects on the fearless style, fierce rivalries and split-second decisions that made him a legend. He talks Rainey, Roberts, Doohan, Rossi and Marquez, the brutality of the 500s, the weight of winning a world title, and the moment he knew it was finally time to walk away.There are brilliant stories, proper racing nuggets, and a real sense of what made Schwantz such a unique rider - flamboyant, all-action, and always absolutely committed.A life spent sideways, and not much regret about any of it. @GasItOutPod on Insta and YouTube.
