Summary
The 2026 MotoGP season is underway and the Thai Grand Prix delivered plenty for the boys to talk about.
Aprilia looked seriously impressive in Buriram, but should they have come away with more? Pedro Acosta and KTM leave Thailand leading the championship for the first time after Acosta’s maiden MotoGP win in the Sprint, although the circumstances around it sparked plenty of debate.
Marc Marquez’s Grand Prix ended early after a broken wheel rim, while Ducati were left scratching their heads over issues with the hard-casing rear tyre. And then there was that Sprint penalty decision that helped hand Acosta the victory ahead of Marquez.
Away from the track, Gavin and Neil compare very different travel experiences involving power banks, carpaccio and the realities of life on the road.
