This is certainly not last year, eh? BikeLive returns with Andre Harrison and Louis Suddaby and this week, they review the Thai round of the World Superbike Championship. On paper, it was straightforward with Jonathan Rea and Chaz Davies splitting wins, but in-depth, it's a lot more interesting. Rea struggling when normally so dominant in Race 2, Melandri not channelling PI. Camier nearly sniffing the podium on a much improved Honda. Fores a legit contender? Yamaha still not where they want to be either. All that, and a barmy World Supersport race with Lucas Mahias getting "Krummancher'ed" for the victory, but still missing a certain Turk! And as a special bonus, we got Greg Haines from British Eurosport to join us for a catch-up on the season so far! Enjoy, and see you next week for the first round of the 2018 British Superbike title!

PARTY TIME! This episode contains copious amounts of F1, Pokemon, adverts, an upgrade to the sin bin and Fernando Alonso changing part of his name for a number! After a dramatic, but still somewhat dull Australian Grand Prix, Andre Harrison, RJ O'Connell and Ryan King are joined by Zoe Hamilton and Chris DeHarde to breakdown Lewis Hamilton's spectacular 2nd as Seb stole the winner's trophy, the traffic, Liberty Media's new package, along with ESPN shitting the bed, Haas throwing away a Double Top 5 via pitstop debauchery, and a whole lot more! Enjoy! And points to anyone who can tell me what Pokemon tune that is!

ALL RISE FOR A READING FROM THE WALL OF VERGNE In Episode 128, Dre, RJ, King and Zoe all review the Formula E race in Punta Del Este as Jean-Eric Vergne and Lucas Di Grassi went to war in something resembling Alonso vs Schumacher from Imola 2005. We also keep an eye on Bird, Mitch Evans stunning drive, and we managed to collar Hazel Southwell in an airport again... only this time, the airport fought back! We also discuss IndyCar's new TV deal with ABC and the new Women in Karting programme from the FIA! Stay tuned for Episode 129 later this week on the Australian Grand Prix!

Or should that technically be Marquez vs Dovi III?! Andre Harrison and Louis Suddaby return with another barmy edition of #BikeLive with the review of the opening round of the 2018 MotoGP season in Qatar as Dovi and Marquez went to war again. Title fight rematch? Also, a massive review of the leading group, Vinales, Rossi's podium, Zarco's rise and fall, and more. Moto2, with Bagnaia taking his first series win, with Balda surprising as well as KTM's early struggles. Moto3 had Martin and Canet have a 1-on-1 dogfight with Dalla Porta leading another colossal scrap! We also preview the upcoming 2018 British Superbike Season. Shakey may be favourite for an unprecedented 7th title, but Leon Haslam, Josh Brookes and even some surprise names like the Honda's, Christian Iddon and Jake Dixon are sure to be in the mix! All that and more on Episode 51 of #BikeLive!

The Formula One season is back and in this five-person edition, Motorsport 101 looks ahead to the 2018 season! In this week's show, we ask... Can Mercedes make it five in a row in the hybrid era?

In Moto2, Miguel Oliviera enters as the favourite but he might be fighting in the most stacked Moto2 season ever with Pasini, Marquez, Lowes and more potentially getting in the mix. In Moto3 the favourites seem to be Aron Canet, Jorge Martin and Enea Bastianini but... its Moto3, anything can happen, especially if KTM are stronger than last year! Listen to us break it all down here on #BikeLive!
