Mandalika served up mixed bag of racing and a high rate of attrition. Adam, David, and Neil dig into the details and ask who came out on top after a minimal shift in the championship. Who handled the pressure, and who folded?
We look at how Jorge Martin stayed upright after crashing out of the sprint race, and why Pecco Bagnaia started so far back but still ended up on the podium. We ask whether Enea Bastianini and Marc Marquez are still in the title fight, after Bastianini's crash and Marquez' exploding engine. And we discuss Pedro Acosta's performance, the step forward KTM have made, and what the future holds. All this plus our moments of the weekend and winners and losers.
