It's been a busy week for the Paddock Pass Podcast crew. As well as the WorldSBK show with Steve English and Gordon Ritchie, Steve joins Adam Wheeler, Neil Morrison, and David Emmett to look ahead to the MotoGP race at Mugello this weekend. We kick off the show with a quick review of how the calendar, and how various restrictions and easening thereof could affect the second half of 2021.

From there, we went on to discuss Jack Miller's new contract with Ducati, and then get into the seats still open for 2022, and who is likely to fill them. That inevitably leads to a discussion of Andrea Dovizioso, and whether he will and should be racing for Aprilia in 2022.

Then we discuss Mugello, who has won there and who could do well this weekend. Ducati and Yamaha have gone well there, but does that mean we will see a Ducati on the top step of the podium? We review what we can expect of Marc Marquez, as he continues his rehabilitation from the arm injury, and ask how strong he will be at Mugello. And we wrap up with predictions of who we expect to win in Italy on Sunday.
