The recent French Grand Prix at Le Mans featured an exciting battle between MotoGP’s top contenders – Jorge Martin, Pecco Bagnaia, and Marc Marquez. These three riders, often referred to as ‘the big three’ of MotoGP 2024, showcased their exceptional skills throughout the weekend. However, the question remains: which of them will emerge as champion in 2024? Furthermore, there are speculations about the possibility of two of them becoming teammates in the 2025 season. In an enlightening discussion, Simon Patterson, Valentin Khorounzhiy, and Matt Beer analyze both aspects of this situation. They also explore the future of Martin’s Pramac team and its importance in the championship. The podcast also delves into KTM’s heavy reliance on Pedro Acosta, the potential partnership between Acosta and Martin, and Aprilia’s role in the title race and rider market. Simon Patterson shares his perspective on the remarkable experience of the French GP audience and how their local heroes, Fabio Quartararo and Johann Zarco, tackled the race with bikes that weren’t performing at their best. Stay tuned for the next episode, where the hosts will discuss and debate audience ideas on how to improve MotoGP.
