Episode #349: 2022 MotoGP Indonesia GP Report

The Rain Shaman, accidentally saving the Indonesian Grand Prix. None of this sentence was made up, honestly!

For the first time since 1997, MotoGP returned to Indonesia, and it got wet! Stupid wet! Wet enough that the whole thing was put off for an hour!

And amazingly, this was kind of the best option! Dre and Cam go hard on the preparation of the Mandalika Bay circuit after the dry running led to tyre carcasses that were 4 years old, Honda crying conspiracy and Marc Marquez suffering a highside so massive, it concussed him out of the GP and caused a relapse of the double vision he suffered at the end of last year! We break it all down here!

And did we mention that Miguel Oliviera shocked everyone and won?! He was outstanding taking advantage of a bold first lap enroute to a dominant win ahead of Fabio Quartararo and Johann Zarco. Even more startling, Darryn Binder coming from the back to finish 10th, so we actually gave the man his flowers. It’s only fair, really!

All of that and more on MotoGP’s return to Indonesia, on Motorsport101!
