Valentino Rossi was even more of a centre of attention than usual at MotoGP’s Catalan Grand Prix – his [2021 Petronas SRT Yamaha deal finally done,](https://www.the-race.com/motogp/rossi-officially-joins-petronas-yamaha-for-2021/) his best form of the year so far on display, but then a crash as he chased victory.

Toby Moody and Simon Patterson give their take on the wild highs and lows of Rossi’s weekend, and how that crash happened in our latest MotoGP podcast.

Barcelona also provided another big twist in the crazy title battle. Is it now a two-horse race between Fabio Quartararo and Joan Mir after new blows for Andrea Dovizioso and Maverick Vinales? And might Mir become champion without even winning a grand prix?

Honda’s latest ups and downs are well worth a mention too – another terrible race on paper, but it really could have won, [albeit with its least likely rider.](https://www.the-race.com/motogp/how-honda-missed-out-on-a-shock-barcelona-motogp-win/)
