Behind the headline times of MotoGP's first 2022 test

With an Aprilia 1-2 on day one and an older-spec Ducati run by an independent team fastest on day two, MotoGP's first 2022 pre-season test wasn't short on surprises.

Simon Patterson and Valentin Khorounzhiy join host Matt Beer to go beneath the headline times to make sense of what went on at Sepang last weekend.

They explain why Aprilia and Enea Bastianini/Gresini's headline times are much more significant than just being typical testing anomalies.

And they look at how that one weekend of testing might've instantly impacted the 2023 rider market, with Fabio Quartararo's unhappiness at Yamaha suddenly much more acute but Suzuki having - maybe - renewed Joan Mir's faith.

Big changes at Honda, teething troubles at Ducati and a puzzle at KTM are also analysed.
