A special episode of The Race MotoGP Podcast looks at the controversial Yamaha engine penalty that has dominated the start of the first Valencia weekend.

Host Toby Moody is joined by Simon Patterson, who is at the race in Spain, to find out exactly why Yamaha has been penalised, and what it is about the manufacturer’s punishment that has upset rivals so much and could lead to the issue rumbling on beyond this weekend.

[MotoGP Technology](https://motogptechnology.com/?ref=the-race.com) author Neil Spalding joins the conversation as well to help explore the backstory from a year when Yamaha’s engines have rarely been out of the news.
