How MotoGP And Motorsport Are Battling COVID-19
It it goes fast on two wheels, you'll find it here on the The Tank Slappers podcast, with Lewis Duncan and Oriol Puigdemont.
Coronavirus Cancellations Reach MotoGP
Autosport’s International Editor Lewis Duncan is joined by Motorsport.com’s Global MotoGP Editor Oriol Puigdemont to discuss the latest coronavirus situation surrounding MotoGP.
What we learned from the MotoGP Sepang Test
The first three-day pre-season test of the 2020 MotoGP season from the Sepang International Circuit concluded last weekend, with Petronas SRT’s Fabio Quartararo topping the timesheets. For the first time, all six manufacturers - Honda, Ducati, Yamaha, Suzuki, KTM and Aprilia - ran their 2020 prototype bikes on track together, with 2019’s rookie sensation Quartararo leading the way on the factory-spec Yamaha he’ll race this year. Yamaha unveiled its version of the ‘holeshot device’ Ducati has been using for over a year, while Aprilia’s revolution RS-GP made a strong on-track debut at Sepang and Suzuki have left a few worried. It appears Honda’s RC213V is still a troubled beast, as its turning problems remain, while two crashes for world champion Marc Marquez compounded a tough weekend for him as he put his recently-operated on right shoulder through under stress for the first time. KTM took a step forward with its RC16, while Ducati - like Honda - also appear to be on the backfoot after a low-key showing on its GP20 Desmosedici. With many more questions than answers offered up after the three days of running at Sepang, Autosport’s Motorcycle Racing Correspondent Lewis Duncan and Motorsport.com’s Oriol Puigdemont try to decipher what we learned from the first MotoGP pre-season test on the latest edition of the Tank Slappers podcast.
Is This Yamaha's Dream Team? Episode #17
With Quartararo and Vinales easily the two fastest Yamaha riders in 2019, and two of the only riders capable of running world champion Marc Marquez hard at points last year, has Yamaha formed a ‘dream team’? On the latest Tank Slappers podcast, Motorsport.com’s Global MotoGP Editor Oriol Puigdemont joins Autosport Motorcycle Racing Correspondent Lewis Duncan to discuss this very idea. They also look at the decision to move Rossi out of the works team and why this had to happen, and also delve into the impact Jorge Lorenzo’s return to the Yamaha fold as test rider will have going forward.

Citroën Quit WRC - Esapekka Lappi & Pierre Budar Talk To David Evans
Citroen Racing has announced it will depart the World Rally Championship with immediate effect - stating Sebastien Ogier's decision to move to Toyota left it with no alternative. The firm announced its decision on Wednesday, confirming mounting speculation of a withdrawal. Ogier and team-mate Esapekka Lappi had a year left to run on their contracts, but the six-time world champion's decision to walk away after a difficult season aboard the C3 WRC left Citroen with no lead driver. A statement from Citroen Racing said: "Citroen decided to withdraw from its WRC programme in 2020 due to the absence of a first-class driver available for 2020 season."
