The 2024 MotoGP title fight can be decided as early as Sunday's Sepang race
Jorge Martin can seal the 2024 MotoGP title in the Malaysian Grand Prix after his nearest rival Francesco Bagnaia crashed out of Saturday's sprint race at Sepang. In what many see as the decisive moment in their championship scrap, Bagnaia lost the front end of his factory Ducati at the tricky uphill Turn 9 on lap 3 of 10, while running in second place behind Martin.
Given the speed both Martin and Bagnaia have shown so far this weekend, it is likely that the two will finish on the podium. If Martin wins the race, his title rival must finish third or lower for the championship to be decided early. If Bagnaia is able to follow Martin home in second place, that will mean the title fight will continue into the finale - albeit with a mammoth 34-point gap between the two.
