The situation in the world rankings
Games made in both Moto3 and Moto2, where Jaume Masia and Pedro Acosta have already become world champions respectively in Qatar last week and in Malaysia the previous week. Spotlight on MotoGP, where Francesco Bagnaia can still afford the luxury of managing a 21 point margin against Jorge Martin. Sprint and Race offer 37 up for grabs, the Ducati Pramac rider will have to do it en plein and hope for a misstep from his rival.
