In the second part of David Emmett's chat with former crew chief and now MotoGP expert commentator Peter Bom, the pair dive into the three remaining factories. We discuss what made Suzuki's GSX-RR so special, and why it was such a competitive bike. We discuss KTM, how they had success in the factory team, with Miguel Oliveira winning races and Brad Binder capable of passing so many riders, while the Tech3 satellite squad struggled with two rookies.

We also take a look at Honda, and what they did to the RC213V. Why did they have such a difficult year? What was wrong with the bike? Can the fix it in time to prevent Marc Marquez from leaving? And what happens if he goes to Ducati?

Finally, we talk about sprint races and what effect they will have next year. Will they make the full-length races on Sunday better or worse? How hard will it be for them to setup the bikes for a short and a long race? And we discuss the new spec tire pressure sensor which is compulsory from 2023. Is it really unhackable? How will it affect the racing?
