Paddock Pass Podcast Episode 515: Was Mandalika that wild and wacky, or is Aldegeur really that good?

The Mandalika round of MotoGP was full of surprises: a rookie winner, a massive crash, a day of Ducati disappointment, and unexpected names battling for the podium. Neil, David and Steve break down what went on in the latest episode of the Paddock Pass Podcast.

Is Fermin Aldeguer really that good, or was it just the weird race that put him there? Why did Marco Bezzecchi end up taking out Marc Marquez, and was it stupidity or just bad luck? Where do Ducati go from here with Pecco Bagnaia, and why did they handle the kerfuffle so badly? Plus our moments of the weekend, and who we would be hiring and who we’d be firing.

To see Neil Hodgson’s breakdown of the Bezzecchi/Marquez crash, see this post on the TNT Sports instagram page.
