After returning to 91 points in the general classification, Pecco Bagnaia has a primet ‘match ball’ to crown the champion in the penultimate round of the World Cup, which will take place in Sepang on the occasion of Malaysian Grand Prix. Despite being a GP that takes place at the end of the season, only two drivers have been proclaimed champions throughout history: Valentino Rossi Y Jorge Lorenzo .
‘Il Dottore’ holds the record for most wins at Sepang with six to his name. The last was in 2010, 11 years before his retirement. One of those successes rossi is that of 2003where it is surpassed Seth Gibernau and that helped him win his third straight World Cup.
The other two occasions where Valentino was declared champion in Malaysia, he didn’t win, but he ended up on the podium. In 2005 he earned second place behind his countryman Loris Capirossi to win his fifth title. Finally, Sepang was also the scene where he won his last title 2009. At 30, he made history with nine world titlesyes third back is good enough for him Casey Stoner Y Daniel Pedrosa.
Another rider who managed to reach the top on this track is Jorge Lorenzo in 2010. In fact, this is the stage where the Majorcan debuts in the queen category and made history by becoming the second Spaniard of all time to be number 1 in MotoGP, equaling Alex Criville. Balearic is third behind rossi and of Andrea Dovizioso on one of the happiest days of his life.
to be a champion bagnaia It’s a bit more difficult for him considering his qualifying problems. He starts 9th and should be at least 5th and that Fabio Quartararo don’t rate or anything Aleix Espargaro went up to the podium to sing alirón. Had he won the race, it would have been enough for the Frenchman to miss the podium. If it is 2nd, you need the yamaha be no more than the 7th and that the Aprilia I didn’t win.
Another combination that would be worth Bagnaia is to close the podium and Quartararo is 11th or worse and Aleix is not in the box. Finally, if he is 4th, he needs Espargaró not to be on the podium and for Fabio to score a maximum of 2 points, that is, to be 14th. If these results don’t happen, we have to wait Valencia in two weeks to meet the new champion of MotoGP.
