MotoGP only managed one race at the Australian GP, but it was the best of the season so far – and arguably the one where Jorge Martin blew his title hopes. The Race MotoGP Podcast asks whether the key decision that cost him was arrogance, hubris, or understandable
The 2023 Australian Grand Prix in MotoGP had one race instead of two planned races, but it turned out to be the best race of the season so far. The race also highlighted Jorge Martin’s failed title bid due to his choice of a soft tyre that collapsed on the final lap, causing him to drop from first to fifth. Whether his choice was arrogance, hubris, or understandable is a major debating point on The Race MotoGP Podcast featuring Simon Patterson, Valentin Khorounzhiy, and Matt Beer. The focus now shifts to what happens in the title fight since Pecco Bagnaia holds a 27-point lead. The podcast also acknowledges Johann Zarco’s long-awaited MotoGP race win and his realization that he won’t secure a factory Honda seat in 2024. Additionally, the circumstances leading to the race being moved to Saturday and the sprint event being canceled are examined, along with potential solutions to prevent such situations in future seasons. The podcast is available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
