Gas It Out

Raul and Aprilia took Silverstone glory - but there was a LOT more to unpack from the British Grand Prix.Gav, Neil and Sylvain agree Aprilia has now built the best bike in MotoGP, but what could that mean for a championship that suddenly looks wide open.

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.

Marc Márquez returns to the Sachsenring, a circuit where he's built one of the greatest records in Grand Prix history. Is anyone capable of stopping the Sachsen-King this weekend, or are another 37 points already heading his way?Gavin Emmett and Neil Hodgson look ahead to the German Grand Prix, discussing why Sachsenring suits Márquez so perfectly, whether Aprilia can finally spoil the party, and why the championship is far from over despite Márquez's recent charge.They also dive into the rapidly evolving 2027 rider market, with Jorge Martín and Ai Ogura confirmed for Yamaha, Álex Márquez and Fabio Di Giannantonio heading to KTM, Joan Mir and Daniel Holgado joining Gresini, and plenty more seats still to be filled.There's also a look at the halfway point of the championship, WorldSBK at Donington Park, and, of course, the absent Sylvain Guintoli checks in after Suzuka - he's REALLY busy guys, ok?

This week just Gav and Neil review a huge Dutch TT at Assen, where Ai Ogura claimed his first MotoGP victory and became Japan’s first premier-class winner for 22 years. Meanwhile, Sylvain gives us an update from Suzuka with incontinence pants on.
