The Assen round of MotoGP brought the shock news of Maverick Viñales' sudden departure from Yamaha. So on Monday, Neil Morrison, Steve English, and David Emmett got together to discuss what that means for Viñales, for Yamaha, and to look back at the MotoGP race at Assen.

We kick off with the big news about Maverick Viñales. We discuss the background to his departure, why he decided to leave Yamaha, and where he goes from here. We talk about how much of the blame lies with Yamaha, and how much with Viñales himself, and what role his new manager may play. There is a lot to discuss, and we try to cover it all.

There was a race to talk about as well, and we take a look at Fabio Quartararo's win, Marc Marquez' ride through the field, and how the Ducatis fared. And then we give our winners and losers for the weekend.
