A mad British Grand Prix Sunday broke Yamaha's heart and uplifted Aprilia - but why did Ducati allow either to fight for the win in the first place?
Simon Patterson and Megan White discuss this in the latest The Race MotoGP Podcast after a weekend at the track, with Simon having dug up details on how the 2025-spec Ducati differs from last year's version after all.
They also get into the question of how far along Yamaha is really, and whether Honda might actually be in equally good or better shape. And there's a discussion of what this sudden win does for Aprilia amid its ongoing Jorge Martin 'situation'.
Finally, with poor attendance numbers this weekend, they discuss what Silverstone could be doing differently as the British home of MotoGP.

Most people predicted that Marc Marquezâs arrival in the factory Ducati MotoGP team was going to be bad news for Pecco Bagnaia, but this bad?
Ducatiâs lead title hope for the last four seasons (and twice world champion for it) hasnât beaten his new team-mate in a straight fight at all yet or even looked like doing so.
Val Khorounzhiy and Matt Beer put Bagnaiaâs disappointing 2025 form centre stage in the latest episode of The Race MotoGP Podcast.
Is Bagnaia tinkering with the âGP25-ishâ too much searching for something that will prove impossible to find and does he just need to get on with riding it?
Does Bagnaia now have to start thinking about a move away from Ducati?
And is Fermin Aldeguer already poised to take his place? We let long-time Aldeguer advocate Val go suitably nuts about the Gresini rookieâs rise as he starts to prove Ducati right for committing to him so early.

MotoGPâs French Grand Prix at Le Mans was a completely crazy race - but then even crazier news emerged the morning after.
Hereâs a special double episode of The Race MotoGP Podcast starting with Simon Patterson and Val Khorounzhiy on the bombshell news that Jorge Martin is seemingly looking for a way out of Aprilia having barely even raced for it.
How thatâs even possible, where he would go and what Aprilia would do are all debated in an emergency mini-episode recorded as Simon was about to get on a plane out of France.
And then weâre onto the episode we actually planned to bring you - as Johann Zarcoâs outstanding victory in MotoGPâs bizarre 2025 French Grand Prix gave Simon, Val and Matt Beer a LOT to debate.
Has MotoGP underestimated a rider who just left Marc Marquez standing in wet conditions? Why did so many other riders who had the chance to match Zarcoâs strategy choose not to?
Did the new rules prompted by Marquezâs dash off the Austin grid work on their first appearance and was this actually a great race (Matt thinks so and Val sort of agrees) or a rubbish and processional non-spectacle? (Simon thinks so).

With a month to go until practice week gets underway, Megan White and Simon Patterson spoke to Paul Phillips, Head of Motorsport for the TT.

Is Fabio Quartararo the first truly elite MotoGP rider to be trapped in the series' midfield for as long as he has been?
Host Valentin Khorounzhiy discusses this with Simon Patterson on the latest edition of The Race MotoGP Podcast, ahead of Quartararo's home race at Le Mans that comes on the heels of a best-in-years weekend at Jerez.
The show also delves into Quartararo's decision to stay put at Yamaha for 2025, the chances of him doing so again in 2027 - and the question of whether his lack of championship opportunities as he enters his theoretical prime as a rider is weighing on him.
Finally, Val and Simon talk about the rest of Yamaha's line-up, discussing whether Jack Miller should count on a 2026 extension, whether Alex Rins's disappointing-so-far Yamaha tenure is likely to improve and whether it would make sense for Yamaha to try to bring in Toprak Razgatlioglu.

Ducatiâs 100% win rate in the 2025 MotoGP world championship masks the fact itâs not actually ever managed to race its full 2025 bike spec, its superstar new signing has crashed in confusing circumstances in two of the last three grands prix and its double champion is a tentative and puzzled shadow of his best form right now because heâs not ever quite sure what to expect from his bikeâs handling.
So whatâs Ducati been working on to solve Marc Marquez and Pecco Bagnaiaâs problems? A hungry and tired Simon Patterson in a very dark Spanish hotel room joins Matt Beer on The Race MotoGP Podcast to discuss everything that happened in Mondayâs test and what it means for the rest of the season.
As well as Ducatiâs issues and Marquez and Bagnaiaâs contrasting handling of them, we also get into potentially significant development steps for Yamaha and Honda, and the realisation that Aprilia might have bigger problems than Jorge Martinâs long-term absence.
We also debate the big question of the Jerez race weekend: whatâs going on at KTM thatâs resulted in Maverick Vinales suddenly becoming its standout rider and Pedro Acosta suddenly looking overhyped?

Marc Marquez has won three of the 2025 MotoGP seasonâs grands prix so far but crashed out of the other two - and that means heâs once again lost the championship lead after the Spanish Grand Prix.
Simon Patterson and Matt Beer convene for a quick mini-episode of The Race MotoGP Podcast to try to figure out whatâs going on with Marcâs errors, how Fabio Quartararo and Yamaha came so close to winning a race and what Alex Marquez finally getting that elusive grand prix victory (and retaking the points lead) means for the season.
And The Race Membersâ Club had plenty of opinions on all three topics for us to factor in too.
Weâll be back for a full podcast after Mondayâs post-race test at Jerez to go deeper into the weekendâs many storylines.

Ahead of the European leg of the 2025 MotoGP season kicking off at Jerez, what is the biggest question facing every manufacturer?
Megan White and Valentin Khorounzhiy try to answer that question for each of Aprilia, Honda, Yamaha, KTM and Ducati.
What does Aprilia do now that Jorge Martin - on whom there is another injury update - is facing a further spell on the sidelines? How should Honda play the expiring contracts of Johann Zarco and Luca Marini?
How good does the Yamaha V4 engine - now being extensively track-tested - need to be before it is brought to races? And what can KTM learn from Maverick Vinales' formbook-breaking Qatar GP run?
Finally, what approach should Ducati take to its longer-term rider roster?

There's no MotoGP race this weekend, so as a bonus we thought we'd share Val's Qatar GP rider rankings Q&A, which is usually members-only content.
Regular listeners will know that Val's rider rankings are posted to The Race website after each race. We then invite The Race Members' Club to send in follow-up questions, which Val then answers in an exclusive video posted to Patreon.
For example, in this one he muses on where Fabio di Giannantonio and Alex Marquez would have placed had they not crashed into other riders.
If you enjoy this episode and would like to get every subsequent one, plus ad-free episodes and our exclusive MotoGP Revisited series on the 2015 season, why not join The Race Members' Club today?
And don't worry if you're only interested in MotoGP and none of The Race's four-wheeled coverage - we have a riders-only tier!

A frenzied Qatar Grand Prix weekend is discussed on the latest edition of The Race MotoGP Podcast, with Maverick Vinales stealing the spotlight away from the Marc Marquez-Alex Marquez-Pecco Bagnaia title fight.
Simon Patterson and Valentin Khorounzhiy discuss the Vinales performance - and the fact it has been effectively stricken from the record books by a tyre pressure penalty.
But why was Vinales so quick, how encouraged should KTM be and what does the weekend say about Pedro Acosta?
In terms of the title fight, should Bagnaia be worried about another heavy defeat versus Marquez - or can he simply view it as a consequence of his qualifying error?
There's also a discussion of Jorge Martin's latest bad injury and of the collision between Alex Marquez and Fabio Di Giannantonio that left the former apologetic and the latter deeply incensed.

World Superbike Championship superstar Toprak Razgatlioglu is being linked to MotoGP yet again - but this time with a twist.
Simon Patterson, Val Khorounzhiy and Matt Beer gather on The Race MotoGP Podcast to assess whether the mooted plan for Razgatlioglu to be part of Hondaâs factory 2027 MotoGP line-up is realistic and how he might fare.
With Jorge Martin expected to finally start his double-injury-delayed title defence at this weekendâs Qatar Grand Prix, we discuss what to expect from him and what an earth is going on at Aprilia in his absence.
And thereâs a little teaser of our Patreon exclusive Jack Miller Q&A - when the Pramac Yamaha star very much enjoyed answering The Race Membersâ Clubâs questions about his life, career and Cal Crutchlow.

Marc Marquezâs 2025 MotoGP winning streak ended with a crash from the lead at Austin, but that wasnât actually the most attention-grabbing part of his weekend.
His audacious premeditated gamble that he could get the start aborted so he could switch to the right tyres for the drying conditions without getting a penalty paid off, but raised big questions over the robustness and interpretation of the rules around such situation.
Simon Patterson, Val Khorounzhiy and Matt Beer explain what happened and why it was so contentious, as well as delving into Marcâs subsequent crash and how much he should be castigated for it.
Plus our takes on Pecco Bagnaiaâs sudden title bid revival, Alex Marquezâs appearance as world championship leader, Joan Mir and Pedro Acostaâs shunts, and a reminder of just how good Jack Miller can be.

Two rounds into the 2025 MotoGP season and itâs a great year to be a Marquez. Almost everyone else has work to do.
But whoâs in most trouble?
Thatâs the question Matt Beer posed to Simon Patterson and Val Khorounzhiy in the latest episode of The Race MotoGP Podcast. They didnât disagree too much in their answers as they highlighted two manufacturers and one rider in particular who are disappointing, but Matt felt they were missing someoneâŠ

Marc Marquez declared his brother Alex to be his main 2025 MotoGP title rival after their battle for victory in the Argentine Grand Prix.
Was he getting carried away with sibling affection or is Alex really capable of denying his big brother a first championship in six years?
Simon Patterson, Val Khorounzhiy and Matt Beer debate that in the Termas de Rio Hondo episode of The Race MotoGP Podcast.
Even if Alexâs title challenge canât be sustained, right now heâs in a better form and championship situation than Marcâs works Ducati team-mate Pecco Bagnaia. We hear Bagnaiaâs explanation for his current lack of pace, and give our take on where heâs lacking.
Plus Ai Oguraâs bizarre disqualification explained, Hondaâs progress debated after Johann Zarcoâs amazing weekend, fondness for the resurgent Franco Morbidelli and The Race Membersâ Club reminds Simon that he predicted first-lap crasher/otherwise anonymous performer Marco Bezzecchi was going to win this race (which prompts a small argument about penalties).

MotoGPâs 2027 rules reset has become even more seismic with the news the substantial technical regulation changes will coincide with Pirelli ousting Michelin as the seriesâ tyre supplier.
Simon Patterson joins Matt Beer to explain all the implications for the championship, teams and riders, and to answer The Race Membersâ Clubâs questions about the potential consequences.
We discuss what Pirelliâs work (and controversies) on the MotoGP ladder, in World Superbikes and even Formula 1 tells us about how its tyres might impact the quality and style of racing in MotoGP.
Is the tyre change a guarantee of a wide open and competitive 2027 season? Simon reckons so - find out why on the pod.

It wasnât just Marc Marquez dominating the 2025 MotoGP season-opener - it was the Marquez family, as his brother Alex not only backed him up in qualifying and both races but was also allowed to lead much of the grand prix to ensure Marc dodged a likely penalty.
Has that set the tone for the whole season to come? In the Thai Grand Prix episode of The Race MotoGP Podcast, Simon Patterson, Val Khorounzhiy and Matt Beer look at everything that led to the Marquez domination including Pecco Bagnaiaâs inability to challenge his team-mate all weekend.
The quirk of his team switch that led to Marquez being at risk of a tyre penalty is explained too, along with the effect of the ferociously hot temperatures on a weekend that left many riders literally burned by their bikes.
Star rookie Ai Ogura and what his performance means for Aprilia features too, and we pass judgements on weekends of both highs and lows for Honda and Yamaha, but mostly lows for KTM.

The Race MotoGP Podcast (part-)convenes for an emergency episode in the lead-up to the 2025 season opener in Thailand.
Valentin Khorounzhiy and Simon Patterson discuss Jorge Martin's second pre-season injury, sustained in motocross training that was part of his rehab from the first injury, and the reports that it could write off nearly a quarter of his first season with Aprilia.
They also talk about KTM having its restructuring plan greenlit by creditors in Austria - preserving the company in its current state the day after BMW had been credited with a reported interest in buying it outright.
The mention of BMW briefly takes us into World Superbike land, where its MotoGP-linked star rider Toprak Razgatlioglu was notably unhappy after the season opener - and dropped a heavy-handed exit hint.

After the massive grid shake-up and a wild winter of injuries and financial catastrophes, MotoGP enters its 2025 season this weekend with a lot of unknowns.
So itâs with some trepidation that The Race MotoGP Podcastâs Simon Patterson, Val Khorounzhiy, Megan White, Matt Beer and Ollie Card attempt to predict the 2025 final top 10 championship order.
How much will KTMâs crisis affect Pedro Acosta and Brad Binder on track this year? What will missing basically all of pre-season do for champion Jorge Martinâs Aprilia acclimatisation?
Is the Marco Bezzecchi resurgence real? Whoâs right out of our Yamaha sceptics and Yamaha optimists?
And, of course, whoâll win that Marc Marquez vs Pecco Bagnaia Ducati duel?

Ducati ended the 2025 MotoGP pre-season by going back to its 2024 engine and chassis - permanently in one case, probably temporarily in the other.
But it still looks like itâll dominate the season even after that change of plan, as Simon Patterson, Val Khorounzhiy and Matt Beer explain on a slightly delirious end of pre-season testing episode of The Race MotoGP Podcast.
We assess where the Marc Marquez vs Pecco Bagnaia power balance stands, and how the works teamâs switch back to largely 2024 kit affects those who thought they might have an early advantage from running older Ducatis - particularly Marcâs brother Alex.
Our star of pre-season isnât actually a Ducati rider: itâs Aprilia signing Marco Bezzecchi. We explain why, and give our take on what Bezzecchiâs strong test in injured champion Jorge Martinâs absence means for Apriliaâs season.
Plus what to make of Yamaha, Honda and KTMâs test form.
