The MotoGP drama hasn’t stopped in the days since the bruising Portuguese Grand Prix season-opener, so we’ve reconvened The Race MotoGP Podcast panel for a special extra episode.
Simon Patterson, Valentin Khorounzhiy and Matt Beer give their take on the bizarre controversies that have erupted over Marc Marquez’s penalty for crashing into Jorge Martin and Miguel Oliveira at Portimao.
That penalty initially looked like it might never be served at all given the specific wording of the penalty notice and Marquez missing this weekend’s race in Argentina – but then the situation changed, prompting fury and an appeal from Honda.
We debate all the implications, from what it means for the always contentious topic of MotoGP stewarding and the potential for discord between Dorna and the FIM.
