After an abbreviated show on Sunday, Adam, David and Neil bring a packed MotoGP Mugello debrief show. Normally reserved for our Patreon backers, in the debrief show we answer questions sent in via Patreon. Is the Aprilia RS-GP the new Ducati GP24? What percentage was Marc Marquez operating at? Are Ducati and Aprilia sacrificing their 850cc machines to focus on winning the last 1000cc title? What's up with Raul Fernandez? We answer all this and more, plus a news round up, and winners and losers.

What about Celestino
I’m kinda sad/angry that nobody has had a word for the incredible race that Celestino Vietti did on Sunday, from 16th to 2nd! Given his pace I’m not sure Manuel would have been been victorious if Celestino hadn’t crashed on quali (obviously a fan is talking here, but I don’t particularly dislike Manu, especially now that he’s seeing other riders taking his rightful place in MotoGP; i mean other riders would have been vaporized by the events of 2025 season-end while he seems to have grown so much. But Celestino yesterday was another level!)
