40 points back for Marquez is rough at this point

What actually happened with the rear wing issue?

Aero device failed to deploy probably, lost downforce

Bezzecchi's still only 31 back, comeback's possible

Kinda late for a former champ to notice this now tbh

Late or not, Martin's clearly the strongest right now
