Tom & James break down the wild start to the 2026 MotoGP season in this week’s episode of Motorsport Republica.
The boys dive into the chaos and talking points from the opening rounds, discuss the Albert Park circuit, and draw some interesting parallels with the upcoming Adelaide Street Circuit that’s set to host the Australian Grand Prix from 2027.
They also look at the key riders who could shape the 2026 championship, who’s under pressure early in the season, and who might surprise everyone as the year unfolds.
