Which Riders Need A Big Czech GP with Marc Marquez Absent?

The Tank Slappers with Lewis and Uri

Autosport International Editor Lewis Duncan and by Motorsport.com’s Global MotoGP Editor Oriol Puigdemont look ahead to the key talking points around the Czech GP. The contracted season has had an impact of many areas of the sport, but Marc Marquez's injury during a shortened calendar has hindered his title chances, with no time to come back and score enough points. With a return trip to the doctors and a possible two-race forced absence, his bid for a World Championship is surely gone. The short season also puts pressure on any other rider to avoid mistakes. Even the smallest error proves more costly compared to a typical year.
