It was the overtake heard around the world. Jorge Martin runs slightly wide on the final lap of the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, and Enea Bastianini sent it in a divebomb for the win. He ran wide, Jorge nearly crashed with the contact involved, and Bastianini goes on to win his second race of the year.

Enter Dre and Cameron, who weren’t exactly impressed a divebomb that ugly wasn’t even investigated by Freddie Spencer in the stewards box. But it’s also the sort of move that goes directly against the sport’s rich history of No Holds Barred passing on the final lap. Is this a culture that has to change, or does the sport have the right idea. 

There was also the bozo gene kicking in again, as Pecco Bagnaia blamed a dud Michelin rear tyre for his start, before a hasty recovery elad to him endoing the bike and crashing, leaving Jorge Martin with a 24 point lead heading to Argentina. The boys review a Championship that seemingly no one wants to win. 

All that and more such as Michelin’s beloved new front tyre being scrapped and more teasings of a calendar, in a new Motorsport101!
