Enea Bastianini's 2024 MotoGP title hopes hanging by a thread.
With five rounds to go, starting at Motegi this weekend, five riders are still in mathematical contention for the 2024Martin and Bagnaia start this weekend’s Japanese MotoGP 21 points apart, with 185 points remaining and everything still to play for.Neither reached the finish of Sunday’s race - Bastianini due to a fall and Marquez an engine failure - leaving them 75 and 78 points behind Martin, respectively.
That means they need to outscore Martin by an average of 15-16 points per round for five events in succession. "I'm happy to get back on track right away and leave last Sunday behind me for good,” said Bastianini, who crashed out of a late third place while hunting down Martin and Acosta. “It's been two years since I last raced in Japan, but I’ve always liked the Motegi track, and recently, we've been fast on almost every circuit.“It will be important to stay focused in these final races, give our best, and always push hard."Only Martin scored more, with 129 points. Marquez brought in 115 and Bagnaia only 95 over the same period.
If those scores are repeated in the final five events, the order of the championship top four will remain unchanged.‘Intriguing’ Lewis Hamilton v Charles Leclerc Ferrari battle predicted
