It's just a two-man show for #Motorsport101 this week, but it's still gonna be fire!

We talk about MotoGP's insane Germany weekend, as Marc Marquez took his seventh consecutive victory at the Sachsenring, with one of Motorsport's great gambles, and the suffering that Yamaha and Ducati dealt with as they struggled strategically. We also talk Johann Zarco's title being gift-wrapped after a tight victory over Jonas Folger, and Kharui Pawi proving Argentina was no fluke as he completely dominated the Moto3 round.

IndyCar's also on the bill as we talk the Honda IndyCar Grand Prix of Toronto, and how miserable an affair it was as Scott Dixon got screwed out of a surefire win via the Caution flag system, as Will Power took his 3rd win in the last 4 rounds. We also talk Emma Davies Dixon going FULL Ayesha Curry as she tweeted her disdain for the series after Simon Pagenaud (And half the field) crossed the pit exit lines again. But hey, James Hinchcliffe got on the podium, so that's all good, right?

We also talk about the Italian Grand Prix potentially moving to Monza, some follow-up thoughts on the International Fantasy Draft, and a soft announcement for our special Episode 50 plans! Thanks for watching!
