A frantic title rival duel that felt incompatible with the championship picture takes centre stage in the Sepang review episode of The Race MotoGP Podcast.
The MotoGP title rivals, Jorge Martin and Pecco Bagnaia, engaged in intense wheel-to-wheel racing during the 2024 Malaysian Grand Prix, with Bagnaia ultimately triumphing. Yet, it is Martin who is now poised to become the champion. The contrasting strategies of the rivals on the opening laps at Sepang and Bagnaia’s crucial error are analyzed by Simon Patterson, Val Khorounzhiy, and Matt Beer on The Race MotoGP Podcast’s Malaysia episode. The podcast also delves into the mental processes of Bagnaia and Martin. The weekend was overshadowed by the tragedy in Valencia, where the season finale was originally scheduled. The floods in Spain cast a somber mood in the paddock, prompting a fundraiser by Valencian team Aspar, supported by The Race. The Race MotoGP Podcast is accessible for free on various podcast platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
