About this episode
The Austrian Grand Prix was decided in a tense and at times terrifying final couple of laps, as riders who had switched to wet-weather tyres hunted down those who stayed out on slicks - and could barely keep their bikes upright - when the rain hit.
Toby Moody, Simon Patterson and Valentin Khorounzhiy discuss all the major talking points from the second weekend at the Red Bull Ring, including how Brad Binder made his tyre gamble pay off, what it means for KTM to win in Austria again, Fabio Quartararo's incredible aggression during the dry part of the race, Marc Marquez's fall after one of his better Sunday performances, and if 'flag to flag' racing really has a place in MotoGP.
We also react to the latest news around Maverick Vinales' future, as his Aprilia deal was made official on Monday following his suspension by Yamaha for the Austrian GP weekend.
