Some initial thoughts from the Austin #MotoGP race. About an imperious performance by a mercurial rider, about the hype being real, and about the factories in trouble. Including one you weren't expecting.
Part 2 of my 2024 MotoGP season preview. Is Aprilia ready to challenge Ducati for the title? Can Aleix Espargaro make the next step? And can Maverick Viñales and Raul Fernandez save their seats by translating their talent into results, at last?
