The Moto3 race in Austin saw some terrifying scenes, as Deniz Öncü clipped Jeremy Alcoba's front wheel, causing Andrea Migno and Pedro Acosta to go flying at over 200 km/h. Plenty to discuss in the Paddock Pass Podcast Follow Up Show Fueled By Elf Marc VDS Racing, and Neil Morrison, Adam Wheeler, and Steve English take an in-depth look at the near-tragedy which unfolded in Moto3. They dig into the whys and wherefores, and whether a two-race ban is justified for Öncü.
Then they move on to Moto2, and discuss Remy Gardner's first big mistake, allowing Raul Fernandez to narrow the gap in the title race to just 9 points. Gardner explains to Neil what happened, and then Cameron Beaubier tells Neil how he made a big step forward at the Circuit of the Americas. The crew go through the Moto2 runes, and examine Beaubier's success means for US racing, and ask where things have gone wrong for Joe Roberts.
