More Silly Season suprises, but no official announcements. I talk about why there is a holdup, whether Ai Ogura going to Yamaha is a smart move (spoiler alert - Fabio Quartararo doesn't think so), discuss tire pressure and 850cc era rules, and more! 

The Rundown:

- Aleix Espargaro has back surgery
- Ai Ogura to Yamaha - a mistake...or low-key genius? 
- Could Daniel Holdago be leading a youth movement into MotoGP?
- Nicolo Bulega - is SBK dominance better than a slot on the MotoGP grid?
- Fabio Quartararo is headed toward bad-breakup territory with Yamaha
- Pedro Acosta talks about the length of the season, the 850cc rule package, and tire pressures
