Tank Slappers Podcast: Dutch GP review

Dre Harrison and Oriol Puigdemont return for another edition of Tank Slappers, as Marc Marquez made history at the 100th anniversary of racing at the Assen TT circuit. With his 68th premier class victory, he tied the legendary Giacomo Agostini for second on the all-time wins list, with only Valentino Rossi ranking higher.

But Marquez didn't have it easy – Aprilia's Marco Bezzecchi pushed him all the way to the flag, but was unable to get close enough to pass for the win. Dre and Oriol discuss how this plays perfectly into the Mugello talk from fans and some members of the media in regards to Alex Marquez's racecraft and the allegations that the Marquez brothers weren't racing each other hard enough, and why more criticism should be levelled at Pecco Bagnaia's garage...

There's more on Alex Marquez during the show, after the Spaniard broke the metacarpal in his hand after crashing into Pedro Acosta in the grand prix, and with it, falling to 68 points behind brother Marc in the championship standings. 

Jorge Martin is back in the news after his agent upped the pressure on Aprilia by claiming his client is still leaving at the end of the season, with Aprilia continuing to deny that the release clause exists. It's a feud in which even Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta has now had to intervene. Is there any resolution on the horizon? 

Finally, with that first win in Moto2 now under his belt, is Diego Moreira on the way to MotoGP? Oriol discusses the Brazilian's options ahead of 2026, when there happens to be a Brazilian GP on the calendar...
