Mugello 2026 - Making Friends

It's a party at Aprilia and occasion for some very cross glares over at Ducati this Sunday at Mugello. Good race? You bet! So let's go over to Italy, and see what caught the eye of our hosts Mat and......wait, I'm getting word that Peter is still on a secret mission somewhere? Oh dear. Have we got anyone else on the ground, then? Nope, nobody but Mat and his incredible social skills! So there he goes, conjuring up a co-host out of thin air for this weekend! Give it up for Cory West, American rider representing Saddlemen Racing in the Bagger World Cup. He's very charming, funny and isn't afraid to walk around the entire track with Mat while carrying a silly microphone. And let me tell you, the man knows his history. Thanks Cory! Okay, we'll be back to our regular broadcasts next week, but until then enjoy this very special episode from Mugello. Cheers! ---Want more? Visit our website or support us on Patreon.
