Episode #307: For Jason (MotoGP Italy 2021/105th Indy 500)

WARNING: This Podcast contains a discussion of death and a fatal accident. If you would like to skip this difficult conversation, skip to 23:00 for the discussion of the Indy 500 instead. Look after yourselves.

Obviously, a sombre edition of the show due to the tragic passing of Jason Dupasquier, a 19 year old Swiss rider in Moto3 who succumbed to his injuries last Sunday after a horrifying accident in Qualifying. We talk about the awfully sad weekend here and a Fabio win that played second fiddle in the top flight as the sport came to terms with the loss of one of their own.

We also talk the 105th running of the Indy500, as Helio Castroneves pulled off a Lap 199 pass on Alex Palou to make history as the 4th member of the four win club, in a tremendously exciting race, and what it meant for the sport in general.
