Show Notes
MotoGP has a proud history in the UK, but the British Grand Prix has struggled to attract the requisite crowds as of late - despite Silverstone's knack for producing great racing and the roaring success of its F1 events.
So what's going on? Host Matt Beer is joined by Simon Patterson, Megan White and Oliver Card to discuss what Silverstone and MotoGP need to do to recharge the British GP experience - and whether there's a risk of this coming with a feared 'F1-ification' of MotoGP.
But before all that, a check-in on Maverick Vinales, who has denied a report that KTM is looking to suspend his MotoGP season - which would likely end his MotoGP career even earlier than expected.
