Where’s Ty Dillinger when you need him? Marc Marquez made it a Perfect 10 at the Sachsenring in Germany, dominating the field in ridiculous fashion, with a little help from a suffering Alex Rins. Also, how the fuck did Cal Crutchlow finish 3rd with a torn ACL?! All that as well as Alex Marquez making it 4 from 5 in Moto2, and Lorenzo Dalla Porta leading a Leopard 1-2 in Moto3!

We also get a look at World Superbikes at Donington, with a triple victory from Jonathan Rea taking his title lead to 24 points. We break down how Alvaro Bautista somehow lost 85 points to his main rival since Jerez’s Superpole race.

We also break down Tom Sykes losing a 2nd after a red flag due to the second coming of… “The Mahias Rule”. God help us all.

Enjoy!

4 and a half years ago, as a final year University project, Motorsport101: The Podcast was born. It was better than a 10,000-word dissertation, that’s for sure. It was only ever meant to be a 10 episode run.

Welcome to Episode 200. And I’m proud to say, we’ve become so much more. This was originally live-streamed on YouTube, and here is the more cleaned up, polished version.

On it, we talk about the Austrian GP, as Charles Leclerc was 3 miles from his first victory when Max Verstappen hung him out to dry for the win. We also check out MotoGP in Assen as Maverick Vinales took his first win of the season over a more restrained Marc Marquez.

And in our main event, we take a trip back to an episode from our demo reel where we tried to rank our 10 greatest F1 drivers. We do it again and trust me, a lot’s changed in the last 4 years.

But beyond all of that, I just want to say, thank you all so much for the support. It’s been a wonderful journey these last 4 years. 200 I never thought was possible, and I’d like to thank Ryan, RJ, Adam, Steph, and the entire M101 fanily for having a hand in getting us to this point. From a personal standpoint, it’s one of the most fulfilling and proud things I’ve ever done in my life.

Here’s to the next 200.
