There’s some days in racing that everyone dreads, knowing that they might be inevitable. Today was one of them, with a horrible crash in Moto3 between José Antonio Rueda and Noah Dettwiler seeing both taken to the hospital and the latter undergoing several emergency surgeries. Our thoughts go out to them.

Meanwhile, in MotoGP, you’d be forgiven for thinking that it’s business as usual with Alex Marquez snatching another victory for his ever-growing collection. But let’s look beyond that and see some very interesting things going on. Accosta rides as a born-again man, and Bagnaia is just nailing it right now. 

But wait, how did that happen? Does this mean Pecco’s dark days are finally over? And what caused the troubles in the first place? 

Well, here’s the thing. Mat has the official story, but Peter doesn’t buy it. In fact, he’s gone out and gathered five reasons that might explain what’s going on. 

Some are likely.
