Show Notes
Marc Marquez arrived at the Sachsenring with one job and made it look ridiculously easy: pole position, Sprint victory, Grand Prix victory and the maximum 37 points.
Gav, Neil and Sylvain ask whether we have ever seen a better rider and circuit combination, why Marc remains untouchable when the track keeps turning left, and whether he had considerably more speed in reserve.
But with 11 rounds completed and 11 more still to come, this championship is far from finished. Ai Ogura is rapidly becoming the story of the season, Marco Bezzecchi heads into the break with recovery on his mind after breaking his collarbone, Jorge Martin leads the standings but continues to be beaten by the other Aprilias, and the top five are separated by only 24 points.
There is also the small matter of whether the Sachsenring is actually any good for motorcycle racing. (Spoiler alert, it's not)
Plus, Ivan Ortola’s Moto2 masterclass, Brian Uriarte’s Moto3 statement, World Superbikes at Donington and the controversial decision that cost Maria Herrera a world championship celebration.

Two blokes, one car, a couple of dodgy AirPods and the long road to Phillip Island!
All that drama, and what have we got to show for it? Exactly the same two-point gap between Jorge Martin and Marc Marquez at the top of the MotoGP World Championship!
Marc Márquez looks different right now. More serious, more focused and, as Neil puts it, completely locked in.
Moto2 World Champion. MotoGP podium finisher. KTM development rider. TV pundit. And still bloody fast.
MotoGP heads east, and the championship is entering the pressure cooker.
