Can anyone stop the 8-time World Champion? The answer, probably only himself at this point.We also discuss Alex Marquez, Pecco Bagnaia and the high number of crashers at Turn 1 with Marco Bezzecchi and Fabio Di Giannantonio proving to be the big losers.Jorge Martin makes his return to action at Brno this week, but it seems that his future with Aprilia has already been decided....Crash has been the global leader in terms of MotoGP news and features over the last 20 years so to expand our coverage of the sport we all love, we are now doing a weekly podcast!An in-house production brought to you by the Crash MotoGP team: Presented by Jordan Moreland (MotoGP Social Media Manager) - Peter McLaren (MotoGP Journalist) - Lewis Duncan (MotoGP Journalist)Jordan - https://twitter.com/jordanmoreland_Pete - https://twitter.com/McLarenMotoGPLewis - https://x.com/lewis__duncanFollow our channels:Twitter (X) - Crash MotoGPInstagram - Crash MotoGPFacebook - Crash Net MotoGP#MotoGP Hosted on Acast.

Victoria absolutista de Marc Márquez en su jardín de Sachsenring, en una carrera que lideró de inicio a fin y que acabó a una distancia sideral de sus rivales. Las caídas fueron protagonistas en el trazado germano y tan solo diez pilotos cruzaron la línea de meta y reordenaron una clasificación en la que acabaron los de casi siempre en el podio, los hermanos Márquez junto a Pecco Bagnaia. ¿El Mundial de MotoGP está finiquitado? Lo analizamos con Mela Chércoles y Borja González.

Dre Harrison and Oriol Puigdemont return to host another edition of Tank Slappers, as Marc Marquez made history at the 100th Anniversary of racing at the Assen TT. With his 68th Premier Class victory, he tied the legendary Giacomo Agostini for second on the all-time wins list, with only Valentino Rossi ranking higher. But Marquez didn't have it easy - Aprilia's Marco Bezzecchi pushed him all the way to the flag, but was unable to get close enough to pass for the win. Dre and Oriol discuss how this plays perfectly into the Mugello talk from fans and some members of the media in regards to Alex Marquez's racecraft and the allegations that the Marquez brothers weren't racing each other hard enough, and why more criticism should be levelled at Pecco Bagnaia's garage... There's more on Alex Marquez during the show, after the Spaniard broke the metacarpal in his hand after crashing into Pedro Acosta in the Grand Prix, and with it, falling to 68 points behind brother Marc in the Championship standings.  Jorge Martin is back in the news after his agent continued to up the pressure on Aprilia, by claiming his client is still leaving at the end of the season, with Aprilia continuing to deny that the release clause exists in a feud where even Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezepelta's had to intervene. Is there any resoultion on the horizon?  And finally, with his first win in Moto2 confirmed, is Diego Moreira on the way to MotoGP? Oriol discusses the Brazilian's options with the sport keen to promote him with a home Grand Prix set for 2026. 

Sin apenas tiempo para haber digerido el rodillo que pasó Marc Márquez en el circuito de Mugello, llegamos este fin de semana a Assen, donde el líder de MotoGP buscará consagrarse,en la Catedral del motociclismo mundial. Un circuito que se le da de maravilla a Pecco Bagnaia y donde ha ganado en las últimas tres ediciones. Pero el rival por el título no es el italiano, es Álex Márquez al que su propio hermano ha comparado con Andrea Dovizioso y las batallas que protagonizaron.

After a year of announcements, wait, anticipation and an investigation by the European Commission, Liberty Media were finally given the green light to complete their majority purchase of Dorna Sports, the commercial rights holders of MotoGP, for $4.2 billion. On this week's episode of Tank Slappers, Dre Harrison, Richard Asher and Uri Puigdemont break down the move and what they hope will be the key areas that Liberty focuses on in order to grow the sport, such as revenue sharing, marketing improvements, and getting people to care about the riders, like F1 has with "Drive to Survive". All the action from the past weekend's Italian Grand Prix is also reviewed, with Marc Marquez taking control early on and never looking back enroute to his fifth win of 2025, and his first at Mugello since 2014. With Alex Marquez second again and Pecco Bagnaia off the podium, is the title battle already over? There's also a discussion in regards to whether Alex Marquez is racing his brother differently to others, and the struggles that Bagnaia has faced in Ducati. And finally, Franco Morbidelli was in the spotlight for causing a nasty crash with Maverick Vinales that led to the Italian taking a Long Lap Penalty. But is the current system in place not harsh enough for ending another riders race? 

MotoGP Round 9 brings us to the ever famous Mugello circuit, the question is, will the record breaking Italian crowd get their dream win from an Italian racer on an Italian bike? Sadly on this exciting weekend it was not to be. With a relatively heavy Spanish domination the Italian crowd booed at the end as the "wrong" rider crossed the finish line in 1st place!! Don't be fooled by the crowd though, the Italian star Pecco Bagnaia did not go down without a fight, but in the end he couldn't surpass the two Spanish brothers that have seemed to finish almost every round this year with the extremely familiar 1-2 finishing!! Italy still managed to pull a wonderful win, despite the crowds response, as all bikes on the podiums both days were in fact Bologna Bullets!! While we saw quite the same outcome in the end, we were given a wonderful weekend of racing as all the riders offered up their fare share of track drama and action throughout both Saturday and Sunday!!! https://fantasy.motogp.com/ Code: NF9ZDUE9

La llegada de Marc Márquez al equipo oficial Ducati ha llegado ha puesto patas arriba el campeonato del mundo de MotoGP, una 'explosión' que desde dentro, el equipo italiano está gestionando de forma excelente. El fichaje del español por el equipo oficial de Bolonia ha hecho confluir tres factores que han cambiado, absolutamente, las reglas del juego: La Desmosedici es la mejor moto, tras su grave lesión Marc Márquez se ha recuperado hasta el punto de estar en igual o mejor forma física que antes de la caída y, por último, el piloto español está, mentalmente y afectivamente, en el mejor momento de su vida. El resultado es que el mejor piloto tiene la mejor arma y ya nadie duda, tras su exhibición en Mugello, donde los tres últimos años había ganado Pecco Bagnaia, que el título 2025 de MotoGP ya tiene dueño. La situación, desde fuera puede crear inquietudes y, sobre todo en redes sociales, no poca polémica, ya que Bagnaia, hasta ahora santo y seña del ducatismo, está sufriendo la llegada de Marc como lo hicieron, en el pasado, todos los que han sido compañeros del #93. En esta nueva entrega del Podcast MotoGP 'Por Orejas', Uri Puigdemont, Germán Garcia Casanova y Alberto Gómez reciben la visita del Director de Comunicación del equipo Ducati Lenovo de MotoGP, Artur Vilalta, con el que, durante más de una hora, analizamos lo vivido durante el fin de semana de Mugello, el gran premio más importante del año para Ducati; la superioridad absoluta de Marc y los problemas por los que atraviesa Pecco, como se viven las celebraciones en contraste con los malos momentos de uno y otro, la gestión del día a día, los grandes avances a nivel mediático y comunicativo del equipo italiano con el estreno, este año, de 'Inside', la serie que cada semana de carreras muestra las imágenes de todo lo vivido en los grandes premios, y la influencia de los rumores y comentarios, tanto de los fans como de los sensacionalismos. Los abucheos a Marc Márquez en Mugello, sobre todo el sábado, y la reacción de Davide Tardozzi defendiendo con pasión a su piloto, es otro de los temas que centran el podcast de esta semana, así como tratar de descubrir cómo es, en el día a día, el trabajo con el gran gurú de Borgo Panigale, el ingeniero estrella Gigi Dall'Igna. Todo esto y mucho más en esta nueva entrega del Podcast 'Por Orejas'. http://es.motorsport.com ORIOL PUIGDEMONT en X - @uri_puigdemont  GERMÁN GARCÍA CASANOVA en X - @germax33  ALBERTO GOMEZ en X - @AlbertoGomezB

Pecco Bagnaia and Marc Marquez lit up Mugello with a fierce five-lap showdown full of contact, aggression, and crowd-roaring drama - but what happened to Pecco at the end? I recap the ItalianGP, and try to figure out if Bagnaia's title hopes are finished.The Rundown:- Qualifying - Marc and Pecco trade record-breaking laps in a tense standoff- Sprint - Marc messes up, but stays focused- Alex is still faster than anyone thought he would be, while Pecco has to settle- The MotoGP Race: 5 laps of complete awesomeness- Marc Marquez turns in a massive statement performance- The Italian on the podium isn't the one the crowd was hoping for- Did Bagnaia give up at the end?- Aprilia is faster than they look- The MotoGP Championship - Is Pecco done? I do some early-season math- My take on MugelloWhat did you think of the ItalianGP?

Pecco Bagnaia apostou todas as fichas em Mugello, mas não foi além de 6 voltas e acabou mesmo o fim de semana a mais de 100 pontos do primeiro classificado. Marc Márquez não dá tréguas e Álex, com maturidade, segue na perseguição ao irmão. Este não foi o fim de semana da Yamaha, e Miguel Oliveira acabou mesmo por ser o melhor classificado, com o 13º lugar. A corrida de domingo trouxe mais polémicas a nível de penalizações e, novamente, com Morbidelli na mira. Por fim, recebemos novidades fresquinhas, e passado um ano, a Comissão Europeia aprovou aquisição do MotoGP pela Liberty Media. Vamos mudar para melhor ou para pior?

Simon Patterson, Val Khorounzhiy and Matt Beer debate what might be Bagnaia's most painful 2025 low so far on The Race MotoGP Podcast.As Bagnaia fell back, at least Alex Marquez was there to take the fight to Marc - but how hard was he really fighting? The siblings' (conspicuously gentle?) approach to racing each other is another hot topic after the Italian Grand Prix, as is stewarding after yet another Franco Morbidelli incident.We also tackle plenty of questions from The Race Members' Club on topics including Yamaha and Honda's awful weekends, the power balance between Maverick Vinales and Pedro Acosta at KTM, and where Fabio Di Giannantonio's sudden performance came from.Want more MotoGP podcast content?

Il successo nella Sprint del sabato conferma l'attuale stato di forma di Marc Marquez che ha regolato senza troppe difficoltà il fratello Alex e Pecco Bagnaia.Paolo, Marco e Matteo fanno diverse considerazioni interessante su un risultato che era tutt'altro che scontato.

Pour la première fois cette saison, Bagnaia et Márquez se sont affrontés en piste. 7 tours musclés où l'Italien a fini par céder devant son public. Quatrième à l'arrivée, cette passe d'armes a-t-elle réveillé en lui l'agressivité perdue depuis ce début d'année ? À nouveau en difficulté, Bagnaia se cache-t-il derrière des excuses ? Di Giannantonio retrouve le podium au guidon de sa Ducati à domicile, mais son irrégularité lui fait-elle défaut ? Imbattable ce week-end, Márquez ne fait pas l'unanimité auprès des fans italiens, qui n'ont pas manqué de le huer, un comportement qui ne plait pas aux chroniqueurs. Tout comme la situation de Quartararo… Sans réponse, le Français essuie un week-end difficile au Mugello

Marc Márquez ha pasado el rodillo todo el fin de semana con una moto italiana, en un equipo italiano y en un circuito italiano para acallar los pitos que se han escuchado en parte de la afición italiana. De nuevo Álex le ha escoltado en el segundo escalón del podio y Fabio Di Giannantonio ha sacado del mismo a Pecco Bagnaia, que dice adiós a sus opciones de título en 2025.

Marc Marquez, in sella alla sua Ducati, ha vinto la sprint race del Gran Premio d'Italia, nono appuntamento del Mondiale di MotoGp. Sul circuito del Mugello il leader della classifica piloti, nonostante un problema in partenza, è riuscito a risalire dalla quinta alla prima posizione in due giri e ha così battuto il fratello Alex (su Ducati Gresini).

Ganador de los tres últimos GP de Italia, Pecco Bagnaia es consciente de que buena parte de sus opciones por seguir reenganchado a la luchar por el Mundial de MotoGP pasan por volver a triunfar en Mugello y recortar puntos a Marc y Álex Márquez, los dominadores de esta primera parte del campeonato.

Round Eight of MotoGP brings us to Aragon Spain, home for two very famous racers on our grid, conveniently the same two that have been absolutely dominating the 2025 season so far. This weekend was no different as after a 10 year hiatus Marc Marquez once again produced an absolutely perfect weekend finishing 1st in every session and race possible throughout the weekend!! Behind him, we did see the same familiar blue colors of his brother Alex Marquez, but after that we actually saw a bit of a mix up on the grid for once! The Austrian manufacturer that has been lacking so far this year finally showed up with some speed and power to come home with at least one bike in the top 5 both days!! Further back on the grid, but not quite as far as we're used to we saw an Aprilia keeping it inside the top 10, then sadly even further back, at least on Saturday, we saw a lonely Pecco Bagnaia brining home no points Saturday but snagging a podium finish for Sunday!!! More than enough exciting racing was happening all over the track, both days of the weekend to include our riders of the week giving a very good show!! Make sure you vote for your winner of the week between the two that we chose Franco Morbidelli and Pedro Acosta!!! https://fantasy.motogp.com/ Code: NF9ZDUE9

Marc Marquez si trattiene e allunga in classifica, Johann Zarco si costruisce una storica vittoria con la strategia e la sensibilità, Pecco Bagnaia incappa nel “peggior fine settimana della carriera”. La prima gara dichiarata bagnata è stata anche la prima con la nuova procedura di partenza: tutto ha funzionato a dovere? Il carosello delle gomme (con due mescole per le rain). Bagnaia porta a casa due zeri e non era mai successo. La mancanza di feeling con la sua Ducati è una questione di tecnica oppure di convinzione mentale? Vediamo. E facciamo un quadro della situazione tecnica generale anche per KTM (buona a Le Mans), Yamaha, Honda e Aprilia che non riesce a riemergere. Per la altre due classi, sotto la lente va la Moto3 di Guido Pini (caduto quando era protagonista e autore del secondo tempo), ricca di spunti. 00:00 colpo di scena, Martin vuole troncare con Aprilia: il contratto, i retroscena, dove vuole andare? 18:20 le nuove regole sulla partenza hanno funzionato bene 19:35 Zarco vittoria capolavoro 21:00 MM si è accontentato? Forse la Ducati 2025 qualche problema ce l'ha 25:54 ... e allora su Bagnaia discussione aperta: difficoltà tecniche o mentali? 34:56 Ing fa una ipotesi sulle scelte tecniche di Ducati tra nov e febbraio 37:00 la classifica del GP di Francia 38:20 Quartararo in pole, Yamaha fa un bel passo avanti 43:18 Guido Pini sbaglia ma convince in Moto3: è forte 46:45 Silverstone prossima gara, cosa ci aspettiamo 48:45 spazio agli appassionati: telaio MM, Bastianini, le bagger, le parole dure di Bagnaia 58:14 KTM, Acosta e Vinales in progresso 1:00:05 Moto2 e Arbolino fuori ad alta velocità 1:01:20 Le Mans è unica: storia, tradizione e... spettacolo 1:03:23 Da Razga a Bulega, c'è spazio in MotoGPDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dopogp-motogp-moto-it--4070022/support.

Simon Patterson, Val Khorounzhiy and Matt Beer ponder the key to Bagnaia's turnaround and how significant it might actually be.Yamaha's tumble backwards, KTM's surge forwards and Aprilia's latest rider intrigue also feature, there's a mild argument between the Joan Mir Fan Club and Johann Zarco Fan Club arms of the podcast panel and Simon has a downbeat rant that comes from a place of genuine love for MotoGP.Want more MotoGP podcast content?

La tan inesperada como merecida victoria de Marco Bezzecchi en el GP de Reino Unido, abre un nuevo capítulo del serial que protagonizan dede hace varias semanas el fabricante de Noale y su teórico piloto estrella, el campeón del mundo Jorge Martín. El legendario trazado británico de Silverstone no defraudó en absoluto durante el Gran Premio del Reino Unido celebrado la pasada semana, en el que se impuso el italiano Marco Bezzecchi para convertirse en el undécimo corredor que gana en ese trazado en los últimos once eventos celebrados allí. Nadie puede quitar ni un gramo de merecimiento ni valor a la victoria de Aprilia, por más que llegara gracias a un fallo mecánico de la Yamaha de Fabio Quartararo, que lideraba la carrera con más de cinco segundos de ventaja superado el ecuador. Aprilia ganó, lo hizo con su único piloto titular sano y abrió un nuevo capítulo, o una nueva perspectiva del serial que, desde hace dos semanas, protagonizan el equipo del Grupo Piaggio y el campeón español. Uri Puigdemont, Germán Garcia Casanova y Alberto Gómez reciben la visita de una de las máxima autoridades del paddock de MotoGP, la periodista Izaskun Ruiz, para debatir sobre esta nueva ventaja que se ha abierto en la disputa contractual entre Aprilia y Martín tras la victoria de Bezzecchi. A día de hoy nadie sabe, aún, cual es la real motivación que ha llevado al corredor a hacer uso de una cláusula que existe en su contrato y que le otorga la potestad de anular la segunda temporada, un capítulo que Aprilia entiende desactivado por la lesión de larga duración del piloto. A la espera de conocer más detalles, y sobre todo la versión de Jorge y entender si estará el próximo fin de semana en la fiesta anual de los seguidores de la marca, el 'Aprilia All Stars', que se celebra en Milán, el debate se cierne en torno a especulaciones apoyadas, con más o menos solidez, por los comentarios de los pilotos y voces del paddock durante el fin de semana británico. Allí también se vivió la tercera caída de Marc Márquez en un domingo de carrera, salvado milagrosamente por una bandera roja que propició una resalida con la parrilla al completo, incluidos Marc y Alex Márquez, Franco Morbidelli, Aleix Espargaró y Enea Bastianini, que se habían caído antes de acabar la tercera vuelta de la primera salida. Para Marc, acabar tercero en Silverstone y escaparse en el liderato del Mundial en una carrera en la que Pecco Bagnaia volvió a fallar sumando un nuevo cero en domingo, no fue un buen fin de semana. "He salvado los muebles, pero me he vuelto a caer", advirtió a Ducati de los problemas de la GP25. http://es.motorsport.com ORIOL PUIGDEMONT en X - @uri_puigdemont  GERMÁN GARCÍA CASANOVA en X - @germax33  ALBERTO GOMEZ en X - @AlbertoGomezB

Most people predicted that Marc Marquez's arrival in the factory Ducati MotoGP team was going to be bad news for Pecco Bagnaia, but this bad?Ducati's lead title hope for the last four seasons (and twice world champion for it) hasn't beaten his new team-mate in a straight fight at all yet or even looked like doing so.Val Khorounzhiy and Matt Beer put Bagnaia's disappointing 2025 form centre stage in the latest episode of The Race MotoGP Podcast.Is Bagnaia tinkering with the ‘GP25-ish' too much searching for something that will prove impossible to find and does he just need to get on with riding it?Does Bagnaia now have to start thinking about a move away from Ducati?And is Fermin Aldeguer already poised to take his place? We let long-time Aldeguer advocate Val go suitably nuts about the Gresini rookie's rise as he starts to prove Ducati right for committing to him so early.Want more MotoGP podcast content?

Dre Harrison, Richard Asher and Oriol Puigdemont host an emergency edition of Tank Slappers off the back of one of the biggest bombshell MotoGP stories of 2025 so far. The majority of the show is taken up with the breaking news that Jorge Martin met with Aprilia discreetly during the French GP weekend at Le Mans and told the team that he intends to leave at the end of the season via a performance clause that was in his contract that gave him an option to leave after six races if Martin wasn't placed high enough in the Championship. Oriol breaks down how this story came about, the logic behind Martin activating the clause in his contract, where Martin may intend to move to as a result if he fully commits to leaving, and what this means for Aprilia going forward if their news talismanic rider wants to leave despite just one GP weekend with the team so far. There's also a short review of the French GP itself, as Johann Zarco become the first premier class home winner of the race since 1954, as well as why it was a huge weekend for Marc Marquez in the Championship fight, and Pecco Bagnaia's latest explanations for his struggles after leaving the weekend without a single point. 

Well well well, Johann Zarco wins for Honda at his home race in Le Mans. What else can you say! We discuss all that and more about Marc Marquez, Fermin Aldeguer and Pecco Bagnaia.Crash has been the global leader in terms of MotoGP news and features over the last 20 years so to expand our coverage of the sport we all love, we are now doing a weekly podcast!An in-house production brought to you by the Crash MotoGP team: Presented by Jordan Moreland (Social Media Manager) - Peter McLaren (MotoGP Journalist) - Lewis Duncan (MotoGP Journalist)Jordan - https://twitter.com/jordanmoreland_Pete - https://twitter.com/McLarenMotoGPLewis - https://x.com/lewis__duncanFollow our channels:Twitter (X) - Crash MotoGPInstagram - Crash MotoGPFacebook - Crash Net MotoGP#MotoGP Hosted on Acast.

La exclusiva adelantada por Motorsport.com protagoniza el debate de esta semana tras el Gran Premio de Francia celebrado en Le Mans. Aunque Johann Zarco, el veterano piloto local, fue el gran protagonista de la caótica carrera celebrada el domingo en condiciones extremas, y Marc Márquez, pese a ser segundo, el gran 'vencedor', al disparar su ventaja en la general sobre Alex Márquez y Pecco Bagnaia, la gran bomba del fin de semana se estaba gestando en los despachos del paddock, donde Jorge Martín, el campeón del mundo de 2024, comunicó a su nuevo equipo, Aprilia, que se acogerá a una cláusula de su contrato que le permite quedar liberado de éste para 2026. Uri Puigdemont, Germán Garcia Casanova y Alberto Gómez debaten en esta nueva edición del Podcast MotoGP 'Por Orejas' en torno a la noticia del año, con uno de los invitado habituales del espacio, el maestro de maestros Emilio Pérez de Rozas. Tras haber estado el fin de semana en Le Mans y haber vivido desde muy cerca el desarrollo de los acontecimientos, durante el debate del podcast se van desgranando todos los detalles en torno a esta cláusula del contrato de Martín y Aprilia, los motivos que han podido llevar al corredor a ejecutarla, las alternativas que maneja y el papel del equipo propiedad del Grupo Piaggio, una de las empresas más grandes de Italia que, con toda seguridad, no se va a quedar de brazos cruzados viendo como un piojo que, apenas, se ha subido a la moto, se libera de un compromiso que, inicialmente, se cumple a final de 2026. Aunque ciertamente la postura del corredor acogiéndose a la cláusula puede se chocante, también es cierto que Aprilia se ha acogido a otras cláusulas que le liberan de pagar al piloto por sus ausencias debido a las lesiones que le han impedido, hasta ahora, competir con una moto que ni está para luchar por los podios, ni mucho menos, pelear por el campeonato del mundo. Durante el podcast, los tertulianos analizan también la caótica carrera del domingo, declarada flag to flag por la lluvia que cayó antes y durante los primeros compases, con bandera roja y dos salidas, además de múltiples cambios de moto y sanciones con doble vuelta larga por el nuevo reglamento, y que acabó con un histórico triunfo de Zarco, con Márquez segundo por delante de un Fermín Aldeguer que hizo doble podio el fin de semana y que ha llegado para quedarse. http://es.motorsport.com  ORIOL PUIGDEMONT en X - @uri_puigdemont  GERMÁN GARCÍA CASANOVA en X - @germax33  ALBERTO GOMEZ en X - @AlbertoGomezB

La victoria de Alex Márquez el pasado domingo en Jerez para recuperar el liderato del campeonato del mundo y, sobre todo, la forma en que la cocinó durante todo el fin de semana y sobre la marcha en la carrera, demuestran que el piloto de Gresini, a sus 29 años y en su sexta temporada en la clase reina ha alcanzado su mejor nivel y, como también hizo en Moto3 y Moto2, cuando llega arriba ya es muy complicado bajarle de ahí. Uri Puigdemont, Germán Garcia Casanova y Alberto Gómez reciben en esta nueva edición del Podcast MotoGP 'Por Orejas' de Motorsport Network la ya habitual visita de Emilio Pérez de Rozas, uno de los más experimentados periodistas que siguen el campeonato del mundo y uno de los mayores conocedores de la familia Márquez, para analizar el fin de semana de Jerez, la quinta parada del calendario 2025 y, seguramente, la muesca que le falta a Alex para confirmar que puede convertirse en uno de los grandes. Le faltaba esa victoria para acabar de creérselo y sacarse de encima la mochila que significaba no haber ganado nunca una carrera de MotoGP, desbloqueada esa pantalla y culminada la progresión, Alex se ha convertido, ahora mismo, en la gran alternativa y principal rival de su hermano Marc Márquez en la lucha por el campeonato, sobre todo ante el momento de colapso que vive un Pecco Bagnaia que ya no solo es incapaz de medirse con Marc, es que no puede con Alex y, el domingo, no pudo ni con la Yamaha de Fabio Quartararo. Precisamente el podio del francés también ocupa una parte del debate del podcast de Motorsport.com, un fin de semana impecable el de Quartararo, consiguiendo la pole y certificando una actual estelar el domingo en carrera. Todo ello a las puertas del GP de Francia la próxima semana que, tras este resultado, va a ser una fiesta por todo lo alto. Ahora solo falta entender si la mejora de la Yamaha fue puntual o se puede mantener en el tiempo. Lo mismo  podemos entender de la progresión de Maverick Viñales y la KTM. Tras el segundo puesto de Qatar, anulado por incurrir la norma de las presiones, se dijo, incluso por parte de pilotos de KTM, que había que esperar para ver si estábamos ante la posibilidad de que 'una flor no haga verano', pero el de la Costa Brava se reafirmó ya como el mejor piloto de la fábrica, el más rápido y el que mejor se entiende con la RC16. La operación de síndrome compartimental de Pedro Acosta y el aperturismo en el paddock por parte de Honda, cierran el podcast. http://es.motorsport.com  ORIOL PUIGDEMONT en X - @uri_puigdemont  GERMÁN GARCÍA CASANOVA en X - @germax33  ALBERTO GOMEZ en X - @AlbertoGomezB

Alex Marquez said to the media at the start of the season that he might win a MotoGP race, 'If his brother let him." And in his 93rd attempt, at his home Grand Prix, the younger Marquez brother finally has his first GP victory.  Dre Harrison is joined by Autosport MotoGP reporter Richard Asher, and Motorsport.com MotoGP writer Uri Puigdemont to review an incredibly dramatic Spanish GP weekend with 100,000 in attendance in Jerez.  If you didn't know any better, you may have thought Alex Marquez took a page out of his older brother's book to win across the weekend. Two crashes on Friday, then a lap record in practise, and then taking advantage of Marc crashing early on, making one pass for the lead, and then taking off. But is the Spaniard a genuine title contender now he's leading the standings again by just a single point. What about the factory Ducati camp? Pecco Bagnaia was very vocal about struggling to extract the full speed out of his GP25, esepcially with the Sprint tank in on Saturday's. And as for Marc Marquez, is he struggling to figure out where the limit is on his bike after another Sunday crash? Fabio Quartararo had an incredible weekend, with his first pole position for Yamaha in nearly three years, and second place in the GP, their first podium in a year and a half. Is there hope for the factory, and how is their V4 coming along? And with back-to-back strong races from Maverick Vinales, is Pedro Acosta under more pressure to leave KTM? All that and more on a busy episode of Tank Slappers!

Ducati's 100% win rate in the 2025 MotoGP world championship masks the fact it's not actually ever managed to race its full 2025 bike spec, its superstar new signing has crashed in confusing circumstances in two of the last three grands prix and its double champion is a tentative and puzzled shadow of his best form right now because he's not ever quite sure what to expect from his bike's handling. So what's Ducati been working on to solve Marc Marquez and Pecco Bagnaia's problems? A hungry and tired Simon Patterson in a very dark Spanish hotel room joins Matt Beer on The Race MotoGP Podcast to discuss everything that happened in Monday's test and what it means for the rest of the season. As well as Ducati's issues and Marquez and Bagnaia's contrasting handling of them, we also get into potentially significant development steps for Yamaha and Honda, and the realisation that Aprilia might have bigger problems than Jorge Martin's long-term absence. We also debate the big question of the Jerez race weekend: what's going on at KTM that's resulted in Maverick Vinales suddenly becoming its standout rider and Pedro Acosta suddenly looking overhyped?

A hungry and tired Simon Patterson in a very dark Spanish hotel room joins Matt Beer on The Race MotoGP Podcast to discuss everything that happened in Monday's test and what it means for the rest of the season.As well as Ducati's issues and Marquez and Bagnaia's contrasting handling of them, we also get into potentially significant development steps for Yamaha and Honda, and the realisation that Aprilia might have bigger problems than Jorge Martin's long-term absence.We also debate the big question of the Jerez race weekend: what's going on at KTM that's resulted in Maverick Vinales suddenly becoming its standout rider and Pedro Acosta suddenly looking overhyped?

Pecco Bagnaia ha pagato pesantemente l'errore in qualifica e le partenze dalla quarta fila. Ma anche qui - dove le aspettative erano alte - non è sembrato del tutto a posto e in grado di lottare con il compagno di squadra. Come giudicare la sorprendente prestazione di Maverick Vinales, poi penalizzato per la pressione delle gomme troppo bassa? E se Ducati domina, a che punto sono Honda, Yamaha, KTM e Aprilia? Bernardelle analizzerà questa sera, dati alla mano, la crescita delle prestazioni: secondo lui è legata soprattutto al miglioramento del setting e alla evoluzione dello stile di guida che la MotoGP richiede. Jorge Martin, che alla prima gara con l'Aprilia aveva già trovato un buon feeling, è ricoverato all'ospedale di Doha dove resterà qualche giorno in seguito alla caduta in gara e al successivo investimento: le otto fratture costali quanto tempo ancora lo terranno fermo? Spazio anche alle altre vicende della MotoGP, alla Moto2 vinta da Canet, alla Moto3 di Piqueras e infine alle vostre curiosità.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dopogp-motogp-moto-it--4070022/support.

On this week's podcast we review the Qatar Grand Prix and the brilliance of Marc Marquez as he wins again from Pole, we also discuss tyre pressure penalties with Maverick Vinales, Pecco Bagnaia's missed opportunity and the rotten luck of injuries continue for Jorge Martin after a nasty crash on his grand prix return.Crash has been the global leader in terms of MotoGP news and features over the last 20 years so to expand our coverage of the sport we all love, we are now doing a weekly podcast!

El fin de semana de Qatar, con la tercera victoria de Marc Márquez en cuatro carreras, y el dramático accidente de Jorge Martín, que estará una buen temporada de baja, centran la entrada 125 del Podcast de MotoGP 'Por Orejas'. Mientras Marc Márquez cocinaba a fuego lento con su brillante gestión de los neumáticos la tercera victoria de la temporada con el equipo oficial Ducati, y la primera en ese escenario desde 2014, en la parte trasera del pelotón, el campeón de 2024, Jorge Martín, que reaparecía esta temporada tras una lesión, sufría una caída que puso los pelos de punta a los aficionados, ya que una vez en el suelo Fabio Di Giannantonio golpeó con su neumático delantero el casco y el costado del cuerpo del español, que ha vuelto a lesionarse y estará, como mínimo, dos meses más lejos de los grandes premios. Martín se lesionó en la pretemporada, dos veces, y no pudo correr los tres primeros grandes premios del año. Su equipo pidió hacer una prueba antes de su reaparición, un cambio de reglamento que el resto de fabricantes desestimó. Para tirar de ese hilo, Uri Puigdemont, Germán García Casanova y Alberto Gómez reciben a Emilio Pérez de Rozas en una nueva edición del Podcast de MotoGP 'Por Orejas', que llega ya a su capítulo 125 esta semana. El debate se centra en quién y cómo se marca la línea de si un piloto es apto para poder competir al manillar de estas máquinas tan poderosas y exigentes físicamente. Si Martín, tras cinco meses sin competir y, prácticamente, subirse a una MotoGP, podía afrontar con garantías las exigencias y la dureza de un fin de semana de carreras. Y si esa línea debe marcarla el doctor o el propio piloto. Es urgente revisar la norma e implementar soluciones para los pilotos que vuelvan a la competición tras una baja larga por lesión, ya sea en forma de test o limitando su reaparición a tomar parte en los entrenamientos, pero no en la carrera. De momento, el resultado es que el campeonato vuelve a perder a su campeón en defensa y Aprilia vuelve a quedarse sin su piloto de referencia, con lo que ello supone tanto para el fabricante como para el corredor. El que no tuvo ningún problema en Qatar para llevarse una nueva e incontestable victoria fue Marc Márquez. El de Ducati está en un momento de forma imponderable, haciendo confluir al mejor piloto con la mejor moto, una fórmula condenada a un éxito tan apabullante que, no son pocos, los que piensan que Marc puede batir este año su propia marca de victorias en una sola temporada. Además de eso, en Qatar Ducati pudo comprobar que ni en una pista en la que pensaban que su nueva estrella iba a sufrir y que Pecco Bagnaia podía tener alguna ventaja, la diferencia entre ambos es aplastante. La impresionante carrera de Maverick Viñales, segundo en la meta, privado de un luchadísimo podio debido a la normativa de las presiones de los neumáticos, enciende, también, el debate en el podcast, con una clara tendencia a la injusticia del reglamento y la necesidad, también en este caso, de hacer una revisión del mismo. http://es.motorsport.com  ORIOL PUIGDEMONT en X - @uri_puigdemont  GERMÁN GARCÍA CASANOVA en X - @germax33  ALBERTO GOMEZ en X - @AlbertoGomezB

We preview the Qatar Grand Prix as Alex Marquez holds a one point lead over his brother, Marc. 12 points back is Pecco Bagnaia in 3rd place, are we set up for an epic race under the lights?

El carrera del GP de las Américas tuvo dos caras bien diferenciadas, los 15 minutos antes de que se apagara el semáforo, y los 15 siguientes, creando un caos y un dramatismo pocas veces visto en un circuito. El fin de semana que debía coronar a Marc Márquez como rey absoluto de Austin y de la temporada 2025 de MotoGP, acabó con el español cometiendo el primer error grave del año y sumando, por tanto, el primer cero, lo que aplanó el camino de Pecco Bagnaia hacia su primera victoria y, sobre todo, propició que Alex Márquez, tras seis segundos puestos en tres findes de semana, sea el nuevo líder del campeonato del mundo de MotoGP. Uri Puigdemont y Alberto Gómez, desde Austin, se unen a Germán García Casanova en un Podcast de MotoGP 'Por Orejas', el #124, a tres manos, para intentar poner luz a todo lo que sucedió durante el cuarto de hora antes de comenzar la carrera. Desde que los pilotos salen de boxes cuando se abre el pit-lane para la vuelta de reconocimiento, denominada 'Sighting lap', que hay diferenciarla de la posterior 'Warm Up lap', la que se hace justo antes de empezar la carrera, hasta que, faltando 3 minutos para arrancar esa vuelta de calentamiento, Marc Márquez decidió irse corriendo a pie de la parrilla, abandonando en ella su Ducati configurada para mojado, con la intención de cambiarla por la de seco, que estaba en el box. Una maniobra muy estudiada y preparada por el piloto cuando se dio cuenta de que no iba a llover más, que la pista se estaba secando, y que su moto con puesta a punto de lluvia no iba a servirle. Muchos pilotos, más de una decena, le siguieron sin saber muy bien los motivos de Marc para abandonar la parrilla, pero sin dudar en ningún momento que la maniobra del 93 era la buena, seguro. Eso creo un caos y una confusión que forzó una bandera roja, anulando todo lo sucedido hasta ese momento y librando a Marc de cualquier sanción. Los perjudicados fueron los pilotos que, adelantándose a los acontecimientos, habían apostado por ir a la parrilla con una moto de seco, solo Brad Binder, Enea Bastianini y el debutante Ai Ogura. Una valentía y visión que no les valió para nada con la bandera roja, que propició un nuevo proceso rápido de salida con todos los pilotos en su posición de parrilla y con moto de seco. En el plano deportivo, la caída de Marc, la victoria de Pecco y, sobre todo, la impresionante temporada que está protagonizando Alex Márquez completan el 'Por Orejas' post GP de las Américas.  http://es.motorsport.com  ORIOL PUIGDEMONT en X - @uri_puigdemont  GERMÁN GARCÍA CASANOVA en X - @germax33  ALBERTO GOMEZ en X - @AlbertoGomezB

Marc Marquez's 2025 MotoGP winning streak ended with a crash from the lead at Austin, but that wasn't actually the most attention-grabbing part of his weekend.His audacious premeditated gamble that he could get the start aborted so he could switch to the right tyres for the drying conditions without getting a penalty paid off, but raised big questions over the robustness and interpretation of the rules around such situation.Simon Patterson, Val Khorounzhiy and Matt Beer explain what happened and why it was so contentious, as well as delving into Marc's subsequent crash and how much he should be castigated for it.Plus our takes on Pecco Bagnaia's sudden title bid revival, Alex Marquez's appearance as world championship leader, Joan Mir and Pedro Acosta's shunts, and a reminder of just how good Jack Miller can be.Want more MotoGP podcast content?

Pecco Bagnaia won a dramatic 2025 MotoGP Americas Grand Prix after Ducati team-mate Marc Marquez crashed out of a comfortable lead.Marquez came into Sunday's 20-lap grand prix at COTA looking to extend his 100% winning record in 2025, having taken victory in Saturday's sprint.But he would ultimately crash out of the lead on lap nine, gifting Pecco Bagnaia a comfortable first victory of the season. Second for Alex Marquez means Marc Marquez now trails his younger brother by one point in the standings.There was drama even before the grand prix got underway, as rain prior to lights led most to fit wet tyres, though KTM duo Brad Binder and Enea Bastianini, and Trackhouse Racing's Ai Ogura, fitted slicks.The start was then thrown into chaos with three minutes before lights out, after Marc Marquez ran off the grid to get his dry bike - triggering a number or riders, including Bagnaia, to do the same. With some still on the grid and others running into pitlane with bikes heading in the other direction, the start was delayed.Follow our hosts:Jordan - https://twitter.com/jordanmoreland_Pete - https://twitter.com/McLarenMotoGPLewis - https://x.com/lewis__duncanFollow our channels:Twitter (X) - Crash MotoGPInstagram - Crash MotoGPFacebook - Crash Net MotoGPhttps://www.crash.net/#MotoGP Hosted on Acast.

On this week's podcast, we look at the Argentina GP and the domination again from Marc and Alex Marquez. They clean up with the 1-2 finishes in every session and leave the championship standings 1st and 2nd. A tough weekend for Pecco Bagnaia, but delight for VR46 and especially Honda after a really solid showing from their riders.Follow our hosts:Jordan - https://twitter.com/jordanmoreland_Pete - https://twitter.com/McLarenMotoGPLewis - https://x.com/lewis__duncanFollow our channels:Twitter (X) - Crash MotoGPInstagram - Crash MotoGPFacebook - Crash Net MotoGPhttps://www.crash.net/#MotoGP Hosted on Acast.

It wasn't just Marc Marquez dominating the 2025 MotoGP season-opener - it was the Marquez family, as his brother Alex not only backed him up in qualifying and both races but was also allowed to lead much of the grand prix to ensure Marc dodged a likely penalty. Has that set the tone for the whole season to come? In the Thai Grand Prix episode of The Race MotoGP Podcast, Simon Patterson, Val Khorounzhiy and Matt Beer look at everything that led to the Marquez domination including Pecco Bagnaia's inability to challenge his team-mate all weekend. The quirk of his team switch that led to Marquez being at risk of a tyre penalty is explained too, along with the effect of the ferociously hot temperatures on a weekend that left many riders literally burned by their bikes. Star rookie Ai Ogura and what his performance means for Aprilia features too, and we pass judgements on weekends of both highs and lows for Honda and Yamaha, but mostly lows for KTM.  Want more MotoGP podcast content?

Adam, David and Neil take the bold step of giving their forecasts and guesses for 2025 MotoGP as the season looms rapidly into view this weekend in Thailand. David also speaks to Pecco Bagnaia's Crew Chief Cristian Gabarrini as the Italian duo go for a third, and face the might of Marquez this year.

Ducati ended the 2025 MotoGP pre-season by going back to its 2024 engine and chassis - permanently in one case, probably temporarily in the other.But it still looks like it'll dominate the season even after that change of plan, as Simon Patterson, Val Khorounzhiy and Matt Beer explain on a slightly delirious end of pre-season testing episode of The Race MotoGP Podcast.We assess where the Marc Marquez vs Pecco Bagnaia power balance stands, and how the works team's switch back to largely 2024 kit affects those who thought they might have an early advantage from running older Ducatis - particularly Marc's brother Alex.Our star of pre-season isn't actually a Ducati rider: it's Aprilia signing Marco Bezzecchi.
