Tank Slappers is back for the 2025 Season! Taking over the reins is Dre Harrison, alongside Autosport’s Chief Motorsport Writer Ben Hunt, and Motorsport.com MotoGP reporter Oriol Puigdemont.

The trio sit down to review the opening round of the 2025 MotoGP season in Buriram, Thailand at the Chang International Circuit. It was a dream debut for Marc Marquez in the Ducati red, dominating the proceedings to finishing in a 1-2 in both the Sprint and Grand Prix with his brother Alex. How impressive was Marc’s performance? How concerned should Francesco Bagnaia be after only managing a pair of third places? 

There’s also the fact that Marquez had to concede an early second-and-a-half advantage to comply with MotoGP’s tyre regulation rule. A necessary evil, or bad for the show?

There’s also a discussion on Ai Ogura and the best debut performance in the sport since 2013 after finishing 5th in his first race with Trackhouse, the latest on Jorge Martin’s broken hands, and asking if Honda and Yamaha are finally closing the gap to Ducati and Aprilia.
