How Reserve Riders Could Be A Game Changer For 2027

Crash MotoGP Podcast

Show Notes

Dre Harrison is joined by Lewis Duncan and Peter McLaren in another edition of the Crash MotoGP Podcast.

This week’s episode is built around the possibility of MotoGP having mandated reserve riders, ready to step in at a moment’s notice in case of unforeseen circumstance like injury. Lewis and Pete explain how this could be a surprise game changer for the sport in terms of integrating younger riders into MotoGP sooner, and drawing more interest in the sport as a whole.

There’s also reaction to the silly season news that David Alonso may be heading to HRC, with Enea Bastianini and Dani Holgado rumoured to be joining Gresini for 2027. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
