Tank Slappers Podcast: Indonesian GP Review

It was a dramatic second outing of the season for MotoGP in Indonesia, with heavy rain causing chaos at the Mandalika International Street Circuit.

KTM's Miguel Oliveira stormed to victory in a shortened and rain-delayed MotoGP Indonesian Grand Prix from reigning world champion Fabio Quartararo, as Marc Marquez was ruled out with a concussion.

The Honda rider suffered a concussion in a horrifying highside in the latter stages of warm-up on Sunday morning and was declared unfit having gone to hospital for precautionary checks.

The MotoGP race was then shortened from 27 laps to 20 over safety fears about the condition of the circuit in the extreme heat, before heavy rain led to a delay of an hour and 15 minutes to proceedings.

In the latest Tank Slappers podcast, Autosport’s Lewis Duncan and Motorsport.com’s Oriol Puigdemont look back over the weekend's grand prix action.
