After a week’s break, MotoGP returns for a fundamental, perhaps decisive, triptych for the awarding of the 2024 world title. Like last year, Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin they arrive paired at the final sprint, with 15 days of fire to spend between Australia, Thailand and Malaysia. We start from Phillip Island, therefore, and we get there with the Spaniard 10 points ahead of the Italian, but with Bagnaia fresh from the double in Motegi. 10 points with 144 still up for grabs can be nothing or everything, especially since in an instant it can become 35 or 15, in favor of one or the other. We will therefore need to be surgical, because every corner of every test session will count. The third place in the world championship is up for grabs Marc Marquez and Enea Bastianinitwo other pilots Ducatiwho could only return to contention for the title in the event of repeated missteps by the first two. Below you will find all the useful information so as not to miss anything of the seventeenth MotoGP weekend of the year, plus the detailed data on the circuit offered by Brembo Brakesthe Italian company that supplies braking systems and components to all the teams on the grid.
