  • Gypsy Tales Recap: LA SMX DRAMA!
    Sep 23 2026

    The heat just got turned up at Round 2 in LA! We never thought we’d see a Haiden Deegan and Cooper Webb rivalry, but it’s officially here. Jase Macalpine breaks down all the 2026 SuperMotocross World Championship drama, including Cooper Webb vs. Haiden Deegan, Hunter Lawrence going off, Jorge Prado’s incredible SMX run, the problems with the current SMX playoff format and tracks, and what the future of SuperMotocross could look like.

    We also dive into the 2026 MXGP season, Guillem Farrés winning the MX2 World Championship, Jeffrey Herlings, MXON, and the latest Supercross silly season talk. Jase breaks down the recent performances of Cole Davies, Ryder DiFrancesco, Levi Kitchen and Julien Beaumer, what could be next for each of them heading into 2027, Eli Tomac’s retirement, and whether Ken Roczen will continue racing in 2027.

  • CHAPTER 419 Ft. Pernilla Solberg
    Aug 26 2026

    Jase Macalpine sits down with Pernilla Solberg for Chapter 419 of the Gypsy Tales Podcast to tell the story behind one of rally's most influential families. Pernilla never wanted to be the best female driver. She wanted to be the best driver, period. When one competitor told her that if she ever beat him, he'd put his helmet on the shelf, that's exactly what she did.

    Pernilla raced against the boys in Sweden throughout the late '90s, met Petter Solberg at Rally GB in 1998, and retired at 28 to raise their son Oliver, now a WRC driver in his own right. Today, she runs the Solberg motorsport operation, serves as President of the FIA World Rally Commission, and holds board seats across five family car companies.

    In this chapter, Pernilla gets into what it takes to run a rally team, why a Rally1 car can now cost $1.5 million with few buyers lining up, how modern PR is stripping motorsport of its biggest personalities, and why a new WRC owner could be days away from being announced. Plus, the sim racer who beat everyone with a Logitech taped to his kitchen table, the Norwegian Prime Minister who wrote Petter a letter about his swearing, and why Pernilla believes YouTube, not TV, has become the biggest engine in motorsport.
