The Italian Francesco “Pecco” Bagnaia (Ducati Desmosedici GP22) and the Japanese Ai Ogura (Kalex) they can become world champions Sepang of their respective categories, stage this weekend of Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prixpenultimate scoring event of the specialty world championship, if a series of results is produced.
Bagnaia has a 14-point advantage over the French Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha YZR M1) and 27 points compared to Spain Aleix Espargaro (Aprilia RS-GP)so if he wins the Malaysian circuit, which is very favorable to the technical characteristics of his bike due to its two long straights, he is mathematically proclaimed world champion if the Frenchman does not finish on the podium and regardless of the result of the Spaniard.
Otherwise, if Bagnaia finishes second, he needs Quartararo to finish seventh or worse and for Aleix Espargaró not to win the race. In the event that the Italian was third, Quartararo could not be beyond the eleventh position and that Aleix Espargaró did not finish on the podium.
In the event that Bagnaia achieves the fourth position, Quartararo should not go beyond fourteenth and Espargaró does not “step” on the podium, or if the Italian is fifth, in which case the Frenchman should not score in the Malaysian race .
As in MotoGP, the leader of moto2Japanese people Ai Oguraalso has mathematical options to declare himself champion, but they are more complicated, as well as simple, because he only has an advantage of 3.5 points over the Spanish Augusto Fernandez (Kalex).
