Jorge Marttin. Ai Ogura. Marc Marquez. Marco Bezzecchi. Fabio Di Giannantonio.
Five names, and only a total of 24 points seperating them. Never before in the history of MotoGP has a championship seen this many contenders for the top spot at the halfway point, let alone have them be so incredibly close.
No, seriously: we made Mat check the history books, so you can quote us on that!
It's a fearsome line-up of killers, each of a different ilk and shouldering different struggles.
It is also the perfect moment for Mat and Peter to take a break and look at the roads these 'Fast Five' have ridden to get here. What have been there strengths and weaknesses, how do they relate to their bikes and what would a victory mean for them?
There's only one way to find out, so let's just get it started. Cheers!
