The Five BIG Takeaways from the 2026 MotoGP Preseason

Описание: The final #motogp preseason test is done and the Paddock Pass Podcast was on the ground to see what was a troubled two-day outing for the reigning World Champion. Is Marc Marquez on the back foot ahead of Round 1? Pecco Bagnaia is off to Aprilia and fast again. Are we in 'he's so back!' territory? Speaking of Aprilia, it was another sterling test for them which begs the question: are they the actual favourites for silverware in Thailand?

Plus, our reaction to news regarding a potential Concorde Agreement between the MotoGP Sports Entertainment Group and the five manufacturers. And the controversial decision to move the Australian GP from Phillip Island to Adelaide.
