693: Easy As 1-2-3-4? - 2026 MotoGP Indonesian Grand Prix

So you mean to tell me that MotoGP saw Aprilia have a 1-2-3-4 lockout of its Grand Prix, and yet arguably made their World Championship situation worse? Oh boy. It turns out it kinda did end up that way? In Indonesia, the story of the weekend started on Saturday when a four wide between Fernandez, Bezzecchi, Marquez and Diggia ended up with Martin going from 5th to 1st, Marquez going to second, and Fernandez and Bezzecchi took themselves out of action in a chain reaction. But with Jorge Martin triggering his tyre pressure warning system, he had to cough up a Sprint win and ultimately finished four, giving Marquez an easy Sprint win in Mandalika. Martin came back to finish 3rd in the GP was Bez won his first GP in 133 days, but with Marquez 6th, the Championship gap is STILL just 2 points with five races to go. Did Aprilia fumble the bag? Do they need team orders? And has this handed the advantage back to Marc Marquez?  There's also a rant about the terrible state of Michelin tyres as Mandalika forced the final appearance of the heat-protected carcass rear that's been the bain of the sport for half a decade. Oh, and is fining riders for missing promotional events a good thing?
