A potentially pivotal Catalan Grand Prix weekend at Barcelona is discussed in the newest episode of The Race MotoGP Podcast.

Host Toby Moody is joined by Simon Patterson and Valentin Khorounzhiy to debate whether Fabio Quartararo’s commandeering win, coupled with the misfortunes of his nearest title rivals, has already left him with one finger – if not one hand – on a second consecutive MotoGP title.

There’s also a discussion of Aleix Espargaro’s late-race blunder and Takaaki Nakagami’s first-lap crash, the absence of a penalty for which seems to have further exposed the MotoGP grid’s lack of confidence in the current stewarding regime.

The three also highlight some of the meaningful efforts further down the grid, and give their answers to a listener’s question on why Aprilia has recommitted to Maverick Vinales.
