A quick preview of the first subtitles so you know what the video covers.
Moto GB's enforced spring break continues and no news in terms of the rider market so far as of this recording. Nothing much racing to discuss. You know, the three rounds we've gone through in quite great detail. So, now is the time to send out some of our weirder ideas potentially. you if you heard the podcast last time out, you might have noticed that Matt has left this particular episode entirely in my domain and ran off ensuring that he does not want to participate in whatever it is I will cook up. And he knew what I was going to cook up because for a few years now, I've been yelling draft, draft, draft at every opportunity uh when it when it came to pitching for episode ideas.

However, it is kind of a useful tool for us, I think, right now, beyond just having some fun, is to figure out what our view is of who is actually the most valuable, who is not so valuable, who's in a good position to be picked up, who's in a good position to control rider market or control mod in the future. Basically, how these guys are seen relative to one another. Because it it's easy, for instance, to say stuff like, oh, like R Fernandez should definitely be on the grid next year,
