BikeLive #85 - Return Of The Mack

Okay, not gonna lie here folks, this is the biggest #BikeLive of the year, clocking in at nearly 137 minutes, tackling a mad Sepang weekend in Malaysia for MotoGP's final flyaway round, and some shock out of World Superbikes! Here's a rough setlist:

- Rossi/Marquez 2, only not really as Valentino Rossi tries and fails his best Lorenzo impression upfront.
- Alex Rins is the 3rd best rider in the world since the break. No seriously, how do Suzuki have 8 podiums?!
- Pecco and the best/worst celebration ever as he wrapped up the Moto2 title. Oh, and Luca "Not just Rossi's half-brother" Marini won his first GP!
- Martin is as ludicrous as his nickname, he wraps up Moto3. Sadly, "The Martinator" will never catch on.
- Ducati are having a team meeting, a round before their 5-time World Champion pisses off. Gotcha.
- And a 221bhp V4 Panigale is the THIRD maddest World Superbike story of the day. HRC. BMW. Factory backing. The day World Superbikes came back from life support?
