Why is MotoGP in 2024 the "Championship of mistakes"?

Season 4, Ep. 126

On this week's episode of the Crash MotoGP Podcast, the team discuss an eventful Indonesian Grand Prix as Jorge Martin won his first Grand Prix since Le Mans in May. But it could've been better as he crashed out of the sprint race, handing victory to rival Pecco Bagnaia. The gap at the top is 21 points, but it now seems like a two horse race for the title as DNFs for Enea Bastianini & Marc Marquez have all but ended their title chances.


A strong performance from Pedro Acosta in 2nd for Grand Prix, was overshadowed by the wait for a decision on Tyre Pressure Infringements from the stewards. Plus, we also preview the Japanese Grand Prix at Motegi.
