What's gone wrong for Ducati in MotoGP 2020

MotoGP technology guru Neil Spalding joins Toby Moody to discuss the the big talking points under the skin of the 2020 MotoGP bikes so far this year. We start off with an in-depth look at Ducati, which went from being the only credible rival to Marc Marquez and Honda in recent years, to losing its way completely when the Spaniard ended up on the sidelines. Neil explains what hasn't worked for Ducati in 2020, how bad things have got inside the team, and why Johann Zarco could be the secret to its success in the future.

There's also plenty to talk about with the other manufacturers on the grid:

Yamaha: How it has bounced back from those early-season engine problems, but is there more pain to come?

Honda: Why did it end up with a bike that only Marc Marquez could ride, and what has it done recently to become competitive again?

Suzuki: How it's winning this wide-open championship, the secrecy around its updates through the year, and the risk it took with Alex Rins last time out that it won't take with points leader Joan Mir.

KTM: Why has it slipped back since those early-season wins? The explanation is actually quite straightforward, and suggests KTM's in for an even bigger challenge in 2021.

APRILIA: Why the season hasn't matched the high hopes the team had at the beginning of the year. Plus, can it find a star rider for 2021?
