The Key to the Sepang Sprint

Date:

1. Alex Márquez’s four ribs.

Alex’s explanation was amusing. At the start of the season he was the driver who punished the tires the most, and he paid for it. Now of the eight drivers from the house of Bologna, he is the smallest. “The broken ribs in India forced me to ride as well as possible, and ‘compulsory school’ was key to that. Destroying them is good for me.”

2. The 2 points that Martín deducted from Bagnaia.

Jorge started this GP with -13 points to his biggest rival. He didn’t score his eighth sprint race of the season, but if you subtract the two points from Bagnaia. The difference is 11 points before tomorrow’s race, leaving 99 points at stake.

3. Bagnaia gave up again in a sprint race.

In the Ducati box, they work during training clearly before Sunday’s race, sacrificing competitiveness in sprint races where 25 points are at stake instead of 12. Pecco won 4 short races compared to 7 by Martín, a proportion that is reversed when we talk about the long race on Sunday.

4. The rain.

No, it didn’t rain the entire race, but it did rain for five minutes after the finish… just barely. A detail to consider for tomorrow’s long race, especially considering that a few laps after the rain stopped, half the track was dry. If it happens in MotoGP it could be a good tomato.

5. Front tire pressure.

I don’t know if the drivers agree, but after the race almost everyone puts the minimum pressure rule on the table. In the case of Martín, it was calculated for a race alone in front of it, when he found himself fourth behind the other drivers he was shot, forcing him to completely change his way of driving , his references to braking.
