MotoGP’s Indonesian Grand Prix weekend ended with an Aprilia 1-2-3-4 but that probably could have been the formation in every session and race had things not gone crazy in multiple ways.

Simon Patterson, Val Khorounzhiy and Matt Beer analyse everything from the tyre pressure headaches that cost Jorge Martin a sprint win and led to Simon declaring the grand prix the “worst race” he’d seen in ages, to exactly what made Raul Fernandez so furious at Marco Bezzecchi on Saturday.

Plus where it all leaves a title fight after a weekend in which lots and lots happened but the points picture barely changed - and whether Aprilia needs to deploy proper team orders now.
