It was the Battle Of The Marqui again, and this time it was Alex who crushed his talented sibling, delaying the inevitable championship celebration until Motegi at the earliest. Adam, Neil and David dig into why Alex Marquez was unbeatable, even by Marc Marquez, where Enea Bastianini's resurrection came from, whether KTM or Aprilia is the second best factory in MotoGP, Pecco Bagnaia's continuing travails, Honda's progress, Yamaha's V4, and whether the buyout of Tech3 led by former F1 boss Günther Steiner is a good thing or a bad thing. Plus, moments, hires and fires, and grades.
