Finally, the Malaysian Grand Prix held this weekend has not defined the MotoGP World Champion. The Italian Pecco Bagnaia has taken the victory and Jorge Martincurrent leader of the general classification, has placed secondwhich gives him a 24-point advantage in the fight for the title with only one date ahead.
To the last event of the year, which everything seems to indicate will be held in Barcelona after the cancellation of the Valencia Grand Prix due to the consequences of DANA, Jorge Martín arrives with everything in his favor to be world champion for the first time.
The Spanish driver accumulates 485 points compared to the 461 that Bagnaia has so far. ‘Martinator’ would only have to add 14 points to take the championship and in the sprint race he could already be champion.
In Montmeló they will be 37 points at stake, with 12 for the winner of the sprint race and 25 for Sunday’s race. To take the championship from Jorge Martín, Bagnaia will have to win both.
In case the Italian wins both, I would also need some null from Jorge Martínsomething that a priori is difficult. Furthermore, if the Spaniard does not score points on Saturday, Bagnaia would need the Spaniard to finish fifth at most in the main race.
If Jorge Martín scores points in the sprint race on Saturday and Bagnaia takes the victory, he would need the Spaniard to be seventh in both events.
The other option is for Jorge Martín to be champion directly on Saturday after the sprint race. He would need to surpass Bagnaia by two pointssince the Italian has more victories in the World Cup and in case of a tie he would be the champion.
In summary, Jorge Martín with the following combinations:
- Jorge Martín wins the sprint race.
- Jorge Martín is second and Bagnaia, third or worse.
- Jorge Martín is third and Bagnaia, fifth or worse.
- Jorge Martín is fifth and Bagnaia, seventh or worse.
- Jorge Martín is sixth and Bagnaia, eighth or worse.
- Jorge Martín is seventh and Bagnaia, ninth or worse.
- Jorge Martín is eighth and Bagnaia does not directly score.
