Keith Huewen: Silverstone follow-up, Ducati’s big decision, Austria's new chicane ‘horrendous!' Full story & podcast 🎙️👉 MotoGP
Listener reaction to the lack of fans at Silverstone, the looming Enea Bastianini vs Jorge Martin decision for the factory Ducati seat and the ‘horrendous’ new chicane in Austria - just some of the topics on this week’sAfter an update on the condition of Gino Rea, who suffered serious injuries during practice for the Suzuka 8 Hours, the first part of the show focusses on reaction to last week’s episode on the low Silverstone crowd.

“The mainstream British media were also not behind the MotoGP like they were for the F1 Grand Prix, where it was in every newspaper and magazine. “The other thing was that there’s not enough room for all the cars. Hang on a second, you had 140,000 race day fans for the F1 Grand Prix. They all came in cars. I don’t understand some of the contradictions.”MotoGP editor Pete McLaren added: “I do think it comes down to the perception of value for money, as well as the actual cost.
