At the front, it was almost a case of deja vu as Marc Marquez defeated his brother Alex in a one-on-one fight. But the trio ponders on whether Marc was at 100% of his speed in an attempt to win, or whether there could be even more potential in the tank for the Spaniard as he took his 90th Grand Prix win, tying him with the great Angel Nieto for third all-time in GP history.

There's a chat about Francesco Bagnaia's side of the garage. The double world champion could only finish fourth in the race, with the rider himself admitting he's "missing something" from the feeling of the latest Ducati GP25. With the Italian 31 points behind Marquez in the standings, how concerned should be?

There's also a deep dive on Ai Ogura's technical disqualification as Aprilia could only manage one bike finishing in 15th place across their weekend, and whether reigning champion Jorge Martin may get a test before returning from his injuries, with his recovery time extended through the United States GP in a week and a half's time.

Finally, there's talk about Pirelli becoming the sport's official tyre supplier from 2027 and why it may be adding to the 'Monopoly' arguments in the midst of Liberty Media's attempted purchase, and whether Argentina has a future on the calendar with the sport confirming a race in neighbouring Brazil in 2026.
