The Italian Grand Prix weekend at Mugello – and the huge Marc Marquez announcement that came in during it – is the subject of the latest episode of The Race MotoGP Podcast.
Marquez and his employer Honda announced that the six-time MotoGP champion would be going in for a fourth operation on his right humerus bone, requiring another lengthy spell on the sidelines – and prompting a striking admission that without this surgery Marquez felt he was headed for a swift retirement.
Host Toby Moody is joined by Valentin Khorounzhiy and Simon Patterson to discuss the Marquez news, Francesco Bagnaia’s Sunday triumph and the flatter-than-usual atmosphere at an under-attended Mugello.
They also touch upon Suzuki’s horror weekend, Fabio Quartararo’s continued brilliance, Aprilia’s ‘Leicester-like’ title push and its 2023 signing of Yamaha satellite team RNF.
