Jorge Martin He is 24 points ahead of Pecco Bagnaiaon the eve of the race in Barcelona in two weeks where 37 points will be up for grabs: the Spaniard – between Saturday and Sunday – needs 14 to mathematically be world champion, even if the Piedmontese finishes ahead of everyone on both Saturday and Sunday.
Bagnaia wins in Malaysia, Martin sees the World Championship second: everything is decided in Barcelona

But be careful: Jorge takes the world title if he wins the sprint, or in any case gains 2 points on his rival (that day it would be enough for him to finish 2nd, with Pecco 3rd, otherwise he would be 2 positions ahead of him). And that is: if Martin brings the gap to +26 on Saturday, it’s done.
Sepang, accident at the start: Miller remains down on the track. What happened
by Massimo Calandri
Twenty-five points ahead would not be enough to celebrate in advance, because if in the end they ended in a draw, the Italian who won the most GPs on Sunday would be rewarded (10 against 3, currently). But what if during the sprint race Martin falls and Bagnaia wins? The Pramac rider would still be a world champion on Sunday, finishing in 3rd place, even if his rival were to win again. A curiosity that sounds like a joke.
The MotoGP ranking
If the MotoGP world championship was played only on Sunday races, as it was up to and including 2022, Pecco Bagnaia would have 345 points and Jorge Martin 321: that is, situation completely reversed, still with 24 points ahead but this time for the reigning world champion.
