After clinching victory in a stunning British Grand Prix by just 0.013s, the Tank Slapper’s podcast discusses if Suzuki and Alex Rins are now genuine title contenders in MotoGP again.

Oriol and Autosport’s Motorcycle Racing Correspondent Lewis Duncan also discuss Suzuki’s rider philosophy, what its next step is and whether Rins is mentally ready to take on Marc Marquez for the world championship in 2020.
