It’s summer break, so what better time to take a look back through our very own carpool content? Plus a few podium cool down rooms.
UNHEARD: "Ogura was getting closer at the end!"
First stop: Buriram. And in the very first showdown of the year, they didn’t even want to talk about their own Tissot Sprint – they wanted to talk about rookie Ai Ogura (Trackhouse MotoGP Team).
UNHEARD: "I don't know how you did it!"
At the Americas GP – a day before the wet/dry grid tango on Sunday – a combined eight MotoGP championships tipped their hat to the way Alex Marquez (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) takes Turn 6.

UNHEARD: "I’d forgotten what it’s like to be here"
Maiden winner Alex Marquez was joined by Bagnaia and Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) in Jerez – and they all three got to re-watch the Marquez-Bagnaia early duel. In Fabio’s words, “F**K!”
UNHEARD: “I was playing the lottery”
In Le Mans, Fermin Aldeguer (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) made his debut – and after accidentally ramming Marc Marquez after the flag, the vibe got no less fantastically chaotic.
Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing) thanked some good luck and was joined by Johann Zarco (Castrol Honda LCR) and Marc Marquez on the British GP podium. “What is that flapping around on my back?” You tell us.
UNHEARD: "They gave you stitches?"
In Assen, Bezzecchi joined the party again – a little late – but with plenty to add.
UNHEARD: "I expected an attack because you were fast there"
On Saturday in Germany we had a new combo – Marc Marquez, Quartararo and Bezzecchi – after the rain-soaked Sprint. True to form from two of them at least, it immediately starts with a bleep…
Next up: the best of the Unseens – our behind-the-scenes look at what you didn’t see during the weekend. Stay tuned!
