An Italian Nightmare in Misano | Bezzecchi Crashes, Marquez Takes the MotoGP Championship Lead

Marco Bezzecchi set the first ever sub-1:30 lap at Misano in qualifying to take pole by half a second. He got the holeshot on Sunday. He crashed at Turn 13 on lap 1, in front of his own grandstand, while leading at his home race. Marc Marquez inherited the lead, lost it to Martin on lap 7, took it back on lap 12, and held off his own brother to win by 0.657 seconds. It was his 78th MotoGP victory and his fifth of the 2026 season. He now leads the championship for the first time all year. The gap between him and Martin is zero. Both sit on 274 points. Marquez leads because he has won more races. Bezzecchi goes to Austria 33 points back. Eight rounds remain. Alex Marquez finished second in a special Marco Simoncelli tribute livery at Gresini Racing's home race. Acosta was third. Martin had arm pump issues, faded to fifth, and still said he really enjoyed the race. In Moto2, a first-corner crash eliminated the entire front row. Gonzalez won from fifth on the grid. In Moto3, Quiles won by 0.021 seconds in a photo finish. Dave has the numbers on how a championship that started the weekend 19 points apart is now perfectly level. Nicky has the Bezzecchi story. 🎙️ ABOUT THE SHOW You, Me & MotoGP is a South African couple's take on the MotoGP World Championship. Dave brings the lap times, tyre data and race strategy.

The Title Fight Just Got a Lot More Interesting | Aragon MotoGP Highlights

Marco Bezzecchi set the first ever sub-1:45 lap in MotorLand history in qualifying. Marc Marquez overtook him at Turn 1 on the first lap of the Sprint and the race was over within seconds. On Sunday Marquez won the Grand Prix too. He has closed the championship gap to 19 points. The title fight is no longer a two-horse race. Martin finished fifth in both the Sprint and the Grand Prix. He described the weekend as riding on ice. He still leads the championship. But the margin that felt comfortable leaving Silverstone no longer looks that way heading out of Aragon. Bezzecchi took pole, took a Sprint podium, and finished third in the race. Acosta was second on Sunday in one of KTM's strongest Grand Prix performances of the season. Di Giannantonio crashed out of the Sprint and his title hopes took another hit. Quartararo's Yamaha blew its engine in the Sprint in a cloud of smoke. Zarco returned to racing for the first time since Catalunya in May. In Moto3, Quiles came back from a collarbone fracture at Silverstone and won. Of course he did. Alonso Lopez won Moto2. Dave has the data on what changed at Aragon and why Aprilia struggled. Nicky has the title fight picture going into the final nine rounds. 🎙️ ABOUT THE SHOW You, Me & MotoGP is a South African couple's take on the MotoGP World Championship.

5 things you need to know about the British GP | MotoGP 2026 Highlights

Silverstone's first race back after the summer break was brutal. Riders crashed on the opening lap. Championship contenders retired. A man came back from collarbone surgery still missing a piece of bone. The British Grand Prix was not a race you survived — it was a race you got through. Raul Fernandez won it with authority. Contract extension confirmed on Thursday, holeshot snatched at Turn 1, and 2.5 seconds clear by the flag. He is riding with a confidence that is making people pay attention. Aprilia locked out the front row, led an all-Aprilia Sprint podium for the first time in history, and backed it up with another 1-2-3 in the Grand Prix. The Noale factory came back from the summer break looking like they never left. Marco Bezzecchi returned from surgery and got on the podium in both races. He is not fully fit. He finished third anyway. Jorge Martin extended his championship lead to 31 points. The title is not won, but the gap is real and growing. Maverick Vinales withdrew from Silverstone for further shoulder treatment — the latest chapter in a situation that has become as much about contracts as it has about recovery. Meanwhile in Moto2, championship leader Manuel Gonzalez sat up and celebrated winning the race with a full lap still to go. What followed was one of the most chaotic final laps of the season. Filip Salac won. Gonzalez finished fourteenth. Dave has the numbers on what Silverstone means for the title fight. Nicky has the Fernandez story and everything that happened in the last ten minutes of that Moto2 race. 🎙️ ABOUT THE SHOW You, Me & MotoGP is a South African couple's take on the MotoGP World Championship.

Nobody Saw the 2027 MotoGP Grid Coming: Breaking Down Every Move

The biggest grid reshuffle in MotoGP history just confirmed in the Sachsenring paddock. Here is what happened and why. Francesco Bagnaia — two-time world champion, the man who defined the Ducati era — signs a four-year deal with Aprilia. Pedro Acosta joins Marc Marquez at the Ducati factory team. Acosta's own words on sharing a garage with the reigning champion: "He's at the end of his career. I'm at the start." That is not a quote designed for harmony. Alex Marquez and Fabio Di Giannantonio both leave Ducati for KTM factory — KTM replacing Acosta with two riders simultaneously. Joan Mir goes to Gresini Ducati alongside Daniel Holgado, promoted directly from Moto2. Jorge Martin, who is currently leading the 2026 championship on the best bike in the field, is heading to Yamaha — a team that finished last in constructors this year. None of this is random. All of it is about 850cc. The regulation reset coming in 2027 is the real driver behind every single one of these moves — and once you understand that, the logic starts to make sense. Dave and Nicky explain who wins, who is gambling, and who might be making the mistake of their career. Marquez won the race, by the way. His tenth at the Sachsenring. Equalling Agostini's all-time record. Bezzecchi fractured his collarbone in qualifying and went home for surgery. 🎙️ ABOUT THE SHOW You, Me & MotoGP is a South African couple's take on the MotoGP World Championship.

Brno 2026: The Marshal Incident, Marquez's Third Win in Four Races & Ortola's Last-Corner Magic

Marco Bezzecchi pushed a track marshal after crashing in the Sprint. The FIM suspended him from the Grand Prix. Marc Marquez won the race. The title fight is a completely different conversation now.

Pecco Bagnaia won the Sprint. Ai Ogura took pole and pushed Marquez all the way to the chequered flag, 0.4 seconds covering them at the end. Jorge Martin served a double long-lap penalty from Hungary and finished ninth. Raul Fernandez reportedly raced with appendicitis. Pedro Acosta retired from fifth on the final lap with a technical problem. Ivan Ortola took his maiden Moto2 win at the last corner of the last lap — a stunning move on David Alonso with Filip Salac third.
