Qatar taught us many lessons, and Neil, Ad, David, and (occasionally) Steve discussed a few of the things they saw at the opening MotoGP round of the season. What does Pecco Bagnaia's strong start to 2024 mean? What did Jorge Martin do wrong? Why did half the Moto2 field go backward during the race? Does Marc Marquez really think he can win the championship? How good was Pedro Acosta's debut really?

We also hear from Acosta's crew chief, Paul Trevathan, on how he saw Acosta's first race in MotoGP. And we round up with our winners and losers of the weekend.
