Mat Oxley & Peter Bom Season 3 Episode 38

 There’s some days in racing that everyone dreads, knowing that they might be inevitable. Today was one of them, with a horrible crash in Moto3 between José Antonio Rueda and Noah Dettwiler seeing both taken to the hospital and the latter undergoing several emergency surgeries.

But let’s look beyond that and see some very interesting things going on. Accosta rides as a born-again man, and Bagnaia is just nailing it right now.
