The latest off-season episode of The Race MotoGP Podcast tackles a new batch of listener questions.

Host Toby Moody is joined by Simon Patterson and Valentin Khorounzhiy to discuss an alternative sprint format pitch, Alex Rins's decision to join LCR Honda and Franco Morbidelli's strife.

They also answer questions about the post-2022 fate of Suzuki staffers; the Tech3 KTM rookie duo's disappointing season; the pros and cons of being part of the VR46 family; the procedure for an 'automatic' rookie of the year title; and whether Aleix Espargaro and Aprilia should've got more from the season.

Additionally, they tackle a new MotoGP viewer's question about the series continuing to use grid girls.
