The 2024 Japanese GP schedule

Le MotoGP continues its Asian tour in Japan this week, to complete the first of the two 'triple headers' that make up this end of season on the famous Motegi track. If the Indonesian GP was once again dominated by Ducati, the fight raged for the top-10 positions between all the other brands. Even Honda and Yamaha, who are usually seen in the background, were in the game.

After working all summer on their machines, and in particular during the Official Test of Misano, the two Japanese brands seem to have found some solutions to their problems at the right time.

After its passage in Japan, the discipline will take a short break. Before continuing with the Grands Prix of Australia, Thailand and Malaysia: pay attention to the timetables, you will have to get up early!

In the Drivers' standings, Jorge Martin arrives at Motegi with a twenty-one-point lead over Pecco Bagnaia. After his crash in the Sprint at Mandalika, after which the gap had fallen to twelve points, the #89 outrageously dominated the long race to claim his first Sunday victory since the French GP. This weekend's meeting should therefore live up to its promise.
