* Getting Ready For Laguna Seca!
* Sachsenring Review with Jules

Kind of a hasty show this week, what with rushing around to get ready for the US GP at Laguna Seca. But Jules and I found time to have a good long call about Sachsenring, interesting stuff even if it's a little bit all over the place. And this is a new improved MotoGPod, now with 50% less Stoner bashing! =)

OK, we've got a really long show this week, almost two hours. But Jules and I were having such a great time with the call that we didn't want it to end! I think you'll like it and, hey, it will last one more commute or whatever you do when you listen to the show! We've got it all this week, a tiny bit of news, a wrapup of Assen, Jules and I explaining (again) our Stoner position, and a little lesson learned out on the track on my SV650. Good stuff, I think you'll like it!

* Listener Events
* Assen News
* Listener E-mail
* Call with Jules About Donington
* Shout out to The Hornrims!

I have to admit, the Assen jokes never get old. What can I say? I'm juvenile and immature. So, all two of you that actually read the show notes, I hope you have the same childish sense of humor. In any case, we've got a big show today with some news, some event notices, a listener e-mail, a long call with Jules about Donington, all wrapped up with a plug for MotoGPod listener Joe Popp's band The Hornrims! Check it out, I think you'll like the show.

* Blathering
* Long Call with Darren Chatting About the Catalunya GP
* Editorial: Passing and Pizza, WTF?

Bob is back, and no, he wasn't in rehab! We've got a long call with Darren Carpenter talking about the Catalunya MotoGP race, good stuff! We follow that up with a somewhat different feature, an editorial/commentary about passing in MotoGP compared to pizza and somewhat to other (much lesser) forms of motorsport, like, say, Formula 1. Interesting stuff, well worth a listen!
