It happened. It finally happened. After 1,043 days between Misano 2021 and Aragon 2024, after four surgeries, two bouts of diplopia, an arm twisted 32 degrees and a changed sport, Marc Marquez is FINALLY back to winning ways and he did it in DOMINANT fashion.

Aragon was Marc's weekend. He dominated every single session of the weekend barring a wet Sunday warm-up, qualified on pole by eight-tenths of a second and then hit the Bagnaia in Assen - A Super Grand Slam to have the fastest lap while leading every single lap en route to taking all 37 points on the weekend. It was a masterpiece, and the boys break it all down on this episode.

It also reviews the worst weekend of the year so far for Pecco Bagnaia. A dud front tyre and two awful starts from his dirty pitbox led to him barely hanging on for a point in the Sprint, before a tangle with Alex Marquez took him out of what looked like a guaranteed third place. With Martin back in the Championship lead, is the Spaniard the favourite again? And are we STILL in a Rossi/Marquez feud nearly a decade on?

All that and more on another Motorsport101!
