In the middle of the biggest weekend of Motorsport, we had a Catalan Grand Prix in MotoGP to take care of, and with it, we had an erratic weekend from race winner Pecco Bagnaia, who crashed out embarassingly from the lead in the final lap of the Sprint, only to come back and take control of the Grand Prix. Find out how he bullied Jorge Martin into second on the show.
There’s also more Marc Marquez talk, as he had to make two more furious comebacks from 14th on the grid, as he took that spot to second in the Sprint and third in the GP. Is the qualifying becoming a problem for MM93 though?
We also talk about Aleix Espargaro announcing his retirement over the weekend too, and talk about how the last rider of the 800cc era became one of the best riders in the world and an ambassador for the grid.
Also, there’s calendar news too as Kazakstan takes India’s spot on the calendar as 2024 as Buddh likely moves to 2025, and Repsol and Honda breaking up after nearly 30 years together.
It’s a loaded episode of Motorsport101, listen in now!
PS: A certain big piece of news dropped while we recorded. See if you can guess what…
