Misano 2026 - A Kink or a Corner?

Sometimes, fights fight over the silliest things. As their highly-paid producer, I can tell you that Mat and Peter are no different. This weekend, the subject of Mizano's Curvone came up. You know, that famous 11th turn at San Marino. Except that it might not be a turn, but a kink. Or maybe it isn't. I'm not going to give a definitive answer here - I'm trying to preserve a very delicate peace! 

Luckily, there's lots of other things that happened during the race that we can talk about, because there was a lot going on today. Marco Bezzecchi was blazingly fast. How fast? Fast enough that he finished his entire race in one lap. Beat that! We all love an axe murderer, but that might have been a little too much. Peter hopes it doesn't get to him, because in racing nobody can afford to take it easy at the start. Better luck next time. 

Then there's Jorge Martin, looking quite awake, and Alex Marquez, fully coming alive. But nobody was able to stop Marc Marquez from claiming victory. His doctor says he's only got about 40% capability left in that arm, but Marc keeps proving the old saying that nobody beats the one-armed bandit. Meanwhile, we've got Acosta getting adventurous in the KTM-garage and some interesting livery which honors both the dead and salty potato crisps. 

Yeah, sounds like a regular episode. Cheers!
