Jake Rower joins Jim on this episode as Rich is on a well deserved holiday.  Jake and Jim start off the show discussing Jake's incredible trip to Philip Island.  During this conversation the guys swerve off into discussions about airplanes and how jet lag is really altitude sickness and how the newer plane have high cabin pressures to help you feel better when you get to your destination.  Later the guys take about the news which revolves around the race in Qatar and who is actually going and who is not going to be there this weekend.  Finally onto the Malaysia round and the actual racing.

In Mot3 Quiles has a strong performance and took yet another win.  If he can win out this year he can break Alonso's win record for the class.

Moto2 was an Alonso runaway as he beat his teammate, whom he no longer talks to.  The real fight was between Guevara and Gonzalez.  Gonzalez rode with an injured foot and finished just behind Guevara and still leads the championship but only by 3.5 points.

The MotoGp sprint was a case of will it or won't it rain and some rider changed bikes and some didn't.  Te race on Sunday was super hot but Marquez show great maturity to win and extend his point lead over Martin (who withdrew form the weekend) to 44 points.  So this weekend in Qatar Marc has the first match point to win his eighth title.
