It's a jungle out there* and the predators are running wild! That's the metaphor Peter uses to describe today's race, explaining why he and Mat have a very clear Man of the Match in Barcelona. Spoiler warning: he came in fifth today...And yes, the Marquez siblings continue to reign supreme as they dominate every other rider who showed up to their home country. But surprisingly, it's Alex that takes the number one position. Is Marc slipping? Is he going soft on family? Or is he suddenly showing a special kind of restraint? Well, it can't be the first option if there's a two-second gap between those chargers up front and the runner-ups behind them. Maybe the answer is a lot more simple. As Mat puts it: who'd want to fuck up their own brother? And can you even hold that against someone? Also up for discussion is the future of Ducati. They doing fantastic right now, but a lot of that has to do with those above-mentioned Spanish brothers. Meanwhile the other manufacturers are getting closer and closer, and a clear counter has not yet been shown. So let's go bonkers about Barcelona in today's episode. Cheers! *A metaphorical one, mind you - our dreams of monkeys and tigers racing motorbikes have yet to come true. Want more? Visit our website or support us on Patreon.
