The outcomes of MotoGP’s twice red-flagged 2026 Catalan Grand Prix could have been so much worse, with Alex Marquez and Johann Zarco beginning their recoveries from the injuries they sustained in their terrifying pair of crashes.Simon Patterson, Val Khorounzhiy and Matt Beer try to make some sense of it all in The Race MotoGP Podcast at the end of a weekend that felt on the edge right from practice.A weekend of strange pace, crashes, shoving and penalties at championship leader Aprilia is also analysed.Plus why Joan Mir really didn’t care about losing his podium to a tyre pressure penalty and a little bit of optimism about how good the racing actually is right now when things run smoothly.Join The Race Members' Club: Sign up to our motorbike-only Riders tier on Patreon for our 2015 revisited series, ad-free listening and more!
