Adam, David and a Sepang-based Neil get together to talk about the latest swing in the twilight stages of 2024 MotoGP, the furnace of Malaysia where the pressure was acute and the implications of another engaging episode of this year’s championship.

After the serious flooding in Valencia, the final round of the MotoGP season is in some doubt. Neil is joined by Peter McLaren to discuss the ramifications of this week’s terrible events on the championship, and the likelihood a race taking place at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit in a fortnight’s time. Could there be an alternative circuit? Or an alternative date? What do the riders want to do? And how did the two title contenders fare when faced with the press?

On this week's Thailand Grand Prix Discussion show we talk about Pecco Bagnaia's performance and whether Sunday's win was up there with his best, and whether he can count on any support from his fellow Ducati men in the two races that remain. We also look at KTM and ask is it the bike or the riders that perform well in slippery conditions and a host of other topics are covered. We also preview Sepang to talk about the Maniac's return to MotoGP.
