Episode #490: Back-To-Bagnaia - The 2023 MotoGP Season Review

The Motorsport101 Podcast

It's about time we put a bow on Season Review Season, as Dre and Cam go wild and review the good, the bad and the ugly of MotoGP in 2023, as the season eventually went back, to Bagnaia! We go factory by factory across the grid. The end of an era as Honda loses their Shohei Ohtani with Marc Marquez leaving for Gresini, and what happens to the genuinely talented team left behind. What about Yamaha? Are they about to walk into their own Marquez situation, but with Fabio Quartararo instead? And does Yamaha now have the best lineup in the sport with Alex RIns joining over? Aprilia kinda spun their wheels this season, beating Yamaha but losing out to KTM. But their riders are still strong, is that enough? And what do we make of the Trackhouse move now its official that the NASCAR outfit are joining the grid in 2024? KTM themselves are in an interesting place, after moving up to second, but a distant second. Is Brad Binder alone enough to close the gap for an inconsistent factory effort? Has Jack Miller become cooked? And was the right man flipped for Pedro Acosta? And finally, Ducati. From the brilliance of Bez and Diggia's late surge, to Marini's shock departure. And don't forget the frustrating brilliance of Jorge Martin's title campaign and Bagnaia becoming the point stuffer he was always meant to be. And what do we make of the future as the sport heads into a rocky 2024? All that and so much more in our MotoGP Season Review!
