Suzuki won its first title at the top level in MotoGP for two decades last year, as Joan Mir was the man to capitalise on Marc Marquez’s absence to take his first championship.

Simon Patterson and Valentin Khorounzhiy join guest host Glenn Freeman to look at the factors behind what seems likely to be an unsuccessful title defence, as well as catching up on the news of racing comebacks for GP winners Cal Crutchlow and Dani Pedrosa.
