Gas It Out
Left. The rest behind. | German GP Review
Season 2, Ep. 24
•
Marc Marquez arrived at the Sachsenring with one job and made it look ridiculously easy: pole position, Sprint victory, Grand Prix victory and the maximum 37 points.
Gav, Neil and Sylvain ask whether we have ever seen a better rider and circuit combination, why Marc remains untouchable when the track keeps turning left, and whether he had considerably more speed in reserve.
But with 11 rounds completed and 11 more still to come, this championship is far from finished. Ai Ogura is rapidly becoming the story of the season, Marco Bezzecchi heads into the break with recovery on his mind after breaking his collarbone, Jorge Martin leads the standings but continues to be beaten by the other Aprilias, and the top five are separated by only 24 points.
There is also the small matter of whether the Sachsenring is actually any good for motorcycle racing. (Spoiler alert, it's not)
Plus, Ivan Ortola’s Moto2 masterclass, Brian Uriarte’s Moto3 statement, World Superbikes at Donington and the controversial decision that cost Maria Herrera a world championship celebration.
If in doubt, Gas It Out.
