MotoGP 2023 continued to be a story of collisions, penalties and stewarding controversies - but also epic racing and title battle twists - at the French Grand Prix.

Simon Patterson, Valentin Khorounzhiy and Matt Beer dive into the incidents in The Race MotoGP Podcast, from championship leader Pecco Bagnaia's clash with Maverick Vinales to the not-actually-a-collision that's earned Alex Marquez a grid drop, plus some incredible paddock debate between the racers and the officials.

They also tackle the renewed title battle and Le Mans winner Marco Bezzecchi's potential role in it, what Marc Marquez's fast but eventful return means for Honda, and an absolutely abject weekend for Yamaha and home hero Fabio Quartararo.
