Aprilia wipeout and Marquez dominance ch...

THE RACE MEDIA LTD
About this episode

The Balaton MotoGP weekend could barely have gone worse for Aprilia: its title challenging factory pair wiped out by another Jorge Martin first-corner blunder, while Marc Marquez took a perfect score including his first grand prix win since 2025.


How did Aprilia react to the disaster, and was it as straightforward a Martin error as it seemed in the moment? And is a Marquez title bid now fully on?


Val Khorounzhiy, Simon Patterson and Matt Beer debate all that in The Race MotoGP Podcast, plus Iker Lecuona’s stand-in heroics and the surprisingly divisive topic of whether Jack Miller had a good race or not.
