Episode 835: MotoGP Jerez – Rainy Days And Sundays

MotoGP Round 4 came from Spain’s iconic Circuito de Jerez - Ángel Nieto. Weather was a feature this year, with a crazy MotoGP Sprint where the heavens opened and one Marc Marquez rode his luck to snatch a somewhat surprise win. Sunday offered up dry conditions and masterclass races from Max Quiles and Senna Agius in Moto2 and Moto3 respectively. Sunday’s MotoGP race was a humdrum affair, with the main talking point being Marc Marquez’s big early crash and his ongoing struggles with this year’s Ducati. On next to mighty Le Mans. Speaking of France, a huge shout out to Sylvain Guintoli, who took part in the recent London Marathon. Sylvain ran in honour of his late son Luca, who tragically died aged 6 of cancer last year. Guinters completed the Marathon in 3 hours and 47 minutes, astonishingly doing so in full racing leathers. So far, this Herculean effort has raised ~£155k.
