Randy Mamola won 13 Grand Prix races and finished runner-up in the 500cc World Championship four times. He joins Jase to look back on racing Eddie Lawson as a kid, Kenny Roberts changing the sport, the Honda NSR500, Mick Doohan's career, and the story behind the Ferrari Cagiva insisted he take despite never winning a race for them, the one he tried to turn down.
They also break down whether MotoGP has reached its ceiling before the 850cc era, which manufacturer is best positioned for the future, who would really be fastest on equal machinery without electronics, Randy's 20 years on the two-seat Grand Prix bike, and the work behind Riders for Health, the charity he co-founded.
