There are only 148 left to play in this 2024 season of MotoGP and the fight for the title could not be more exciting. With four Grand Prix remaining, only 10 points separate Jorge Martín de Pecco Bagnaia at the top of the ranking.
We arrived in Japan with a 21 point difference but Martín’s poor classification and Pecco’s fantastic double saw the Italian out at Motegi cutting 11 points to his 37 in 37.
In its part, Marc Márquez managed to finish on the podium despite not having an easy weekend. In this way, the fight for third place in the general classification, which is still in the hands of Bastianini. Two points separate the two.
