Two big errors by Fabio Quartararo in the Australian Grand Prix mean his title rival Pecco Bagnaia now has a pretty clear run at the 2022 MotoGP world championship.
But is Quartararo messing up another title bid, or is it a massive tribute to him that he’s even led the championship on a poor Yamaha?
That’s one of the many, many things Simon Patterson, Valentin Khorounzhiy and stand-in host Matt Beer debate in the Phillip Island episode of The Race MotoGP Podcast.
Overshadowed by the dramatic title fights, Suzuki finally won a race again – just weeks before it exits MotoGP. After so many weekends when Suzuki hinted it had amazing race pace, this time it actually did – but why now? We explain.
The podcast also dives into the clearest signs yet that Marc Marquez will be a 2023 title contender, Alex Marquez’s penalty for slamming into Jack Miller, the effective end of Aprilia’s championship dream and a bizarre race for long-shot championship protagonist Enea Bastianini.
