Ducati wins Spanish GP - but how bad is Marc Marquez's latest title blow?
About this episode
The episode discusses Marc Marquez's challenging title hopes following the Spanish Grand Prix and the performance of Ducati and Aprilia.
Marc Marquez claimed one of his unlikeliest wins ever during the Spanish Grand Prix weekend - yet his title hopes look more troubled than ever four rounds into the season. Matt Beer, Simon Patterson and Val Khorounzhiy discuss Marquez's situation, how much longer he'll be racing for and whether Jerez showed the Ducati is actually a match for the Aprilia. They also talk through Marquez's sprint-winning move, the value of flag-to-flag races, Fabio Di Giannantonio's superb form and rising market value and Fabio Quartararo's increasing exasperation at Yamaha among other topics.
