It was a weekend full of surprises at Qatar, though the winner was anything but a surprise. Marc Marquez took victory, with Pecco Bagnaia joining him on the podium. So far, so ordinary. But the rider that crossed the line second was Maverick Viñales. KTM had a podium at last, until they didn't, after it was taken away as a result of the front tyre pressure being low. Plus, Marquez on Marquez action, a solid result for Johann Zarco, and a very tough weekend for Jorge Martin, who ended with a punctured lung and cracked ribs. Neil, Adam, and David talk you through it all.
