Since October 16 and the Australian Grand Prix, at Phillip Island, Francesco Bagnaia has led the world championship MotoGP. The Italian is now 23 lengths ahead of fabio quartararo, last contender for the title against the Ducati rider. For the reigning world champion, the task promises to be titanic. The Niçois must absolutely win the Valencia Grand Prix on Sunday to maintain the hope of a second consecutive coronation... and will also have to count on a total counter-performance from his Italian opponent.
For the Frenchman to retain his crown, he will have to win the Grand Prix and Francesco Bagnaia finish outside the Top 14. In other words, if the Ducati rider finishes 15th or beyond, the Yamaha rider could be champion. In view of the recent performances of the two men, it is difficult to imagine Quartararo winning and Bagnaia finishing outside the Top 14. Beware of surprises, of which there are many this season in MotoGP. Francesco Bagnaia has an unfortunate tendency to fall at key moments, while Fabio Quartararo will be on the lookout for the slightest opportunity...
