Summarized by Podsumo
Johann Zarco is a strong contender for the French GP, especially if rain returns, replicating his fairytale win from last year.
Fabio Quartararo continues to struggle with the Yamaha, making him a less likely winner, though a home victory would be a special moment.
Alex Marquez is measured about his chances after his Jerez win, but Ducati as a whole seems to have made a step forward in testing.
The social media segment in the press conference is criticized as tacky and a low point, with calls for more meaningful content.
Elliot Wright, making his podcast debut, discusses his career path from website journalist to MotoGP commentator and presenter.
"Social media questions in the press conference. What are we doing? Is this a premium world championship or just some monkey show?"
"I think ZARCO is probably the more relatable of the two riders. He's definitely the more down to Earth one."
"This might be the week-o where Mark sort of says, I'm back in this championship chase."
