Just when he needs points the most, Pecco Bagnaia finds them. A little bit of speed, a little bit of strategy and a little bit of luck get him the double. I recap all of the MotoGP action in Motegi, look at the Championship picture, and give my take on the JapaneseGP!
The Rundown:

- Sprint Race: one more rider tosses a win into the gravel trap with and unforced error
- Pecco gets lucky, Marc and Martin move up
- MotoGP Race: where was the action?
- Acosta continues to tease us
- Another pair of big comebacks
- Pecco puts it all together
- Other impressive riders - including Morbidelli on the move
- The MotoGP Championship - things are fun again - I'll tell you who has the advantage
- My take on the JapaneseGP
