Dre Harrison, Lewis Duncan and Peter McLaren review all the action to come out of the 2026 Season Opener, the Thai Grand Prix. Marco Bezzecchi dominated in what may be Aprilia's greatest day in MotoGP, with four of their bikes in the Top 5. Is that a sign of things to come?

Pedro Acosta and Marc Marquez also went toe-to-toe in the Sprint race, with a controversial penalty demoting Marquez down to 2nd for Acosta to become MotoGP's youngest sprint winner. Was it the right decision?

New host Dre Harrison joins Pete McLaren and Lewis Duncan for a full review of the 2026 MotoGP Sepang Test, looking across the grid from Yamaha, to Ducati.

For Yamaha, it was a disaster, with lead rider Fabio Quartararo breaking a finger and missing two days of running, followed by the entire factory sitting out Day 2 with engine concerns. Is this the beginning of the end for Fabio at Yamaha?

Honda and KTM are both looking promising, witn Joan Mir fastest on Day 2, with Pedro Acosta positive, but self-critical. But is Acosta heading to Ducati, and if Fabio's Honda bound, who does he replace?

Aprilia look like they're still next in line behind Ducati, but are they bringing in Pecco Bagnaia to replace Jorge Martin, who seems to be heading to Yamaha? And could Ducati be losing its insurance policy in Alex Marquez, with KTM's factory money tempting the Spaniard? All that and more discussed on the latest Crash MotoGP podcast!
