A golden opportunity. Passed to the top of the riders’ standings ahead of Fabio Quartararo in Australia, Francesco Bagnaia can be crowned MotoGP world champion at the end of the Malaysian Grand Prix, which begins on Sunday October 23 at 9 a.m. in Sepang. He will have to score eleven points more than the Frenchman for this, but the task does not look easy, since the rain could be in the game, and Bagnaia will start from 9th place on the grid.
Disappointing in qualifying, Fabio Quartararo did not take advantage of the Italian’s crashes and only started in twelfth position. But El Diablo is not the only adversary with which Bagnaia will have to deal, since to be crowned world champion, the Ducati rider will not have to not yield more than two points to Aleix Espargaro and more than 17 to Enea Bastianini, second on the grid behind Jorge Martin.
