MotoGP only managed one of its planned two races at the 2023 Australian Grand Prix, but the one that did happen was the best of the season so far.

It was also a good candidate for being *the* race where Jorge Martin blew his title bid. Was his choice of a soft tyre that collapsed on the final lap and dropped him from first to fifth arrogance, hubris, or understandable? That's a key debate for Simon Patterson, Valentin Khorounzhiy and Matt Beer on The Race MotoGP Podcast.

What happens next in the title fight now Pecco Bagnaia is 27 points clear is a hot topic too, and there's due appreciation for Johann Zarco on the weekend he finally took a MotoGP race win - and found out for sure that he's not going to get a factory Honda seat in 2024.

The circumstances that led to the grand prix being moved to Saturday and the sprint not happening at all are of course analysed as well, along with some potential ideas for how that situation could be avoided in future seasons.
