Pecco Bagnaia put on a clinical display in MotoGP's Japanese Grand Prix at Motegi - but was he the only real winner on a particularly drab Sunday of premier-class race action?

The Race MotoGP Podcast panel of Valentin Khorounzhiy, Simon Patterson and Megan White discuss a race that never really got going, and whether Jorge Martin should be happy to only lose 11 points after crashing in qualifying.

Pedro Acosta's two falls from pole trigger a conversation about the merits and shortcomings of his rookie campaign, while [several The Race Members Club questions from Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/TheRace?utm%5Fsource=search) are answered - including a closer look at that Ducati GP23 'downgrade' that made headlines during the weekend.
