But you have to understand that Matt is sick as a dog at the Chang International Service in Buriram, Thailand. Seriously, some nasty flu has taken him down and he’s just going through the motions and the intensity of the steam. The poor boy had to give up even drinking this week! We hope he gets through this sad period of consciousness…
Fortunately, there’s plenty to take our minds off as we dive headfirst into the 2026 season opener. And look at that: Aprilia and KTM dominate! What gave them the edge, and what does this mean for the rest of the season? That’s what we’re here to find out! Also, why on earth is Matt suddenly interested in the Saturday Sprint? Does he have a fever or is something else going on here?
Time to press that play button and find out…
