🔴 Big operation for Bagnaia
If Fabio Quartararo was excellent this Sunday in Sepang, Bagnaia did even better. Only a fall in Valencia, in two weeks, could deprive him of his first title of world champion.
09:43
🔥 A point on the general classification
Fabio Quartararo loses nine units on Pecco Bagnaia. There are now 23 points difference between the two drivers.

09:37

09:35
17/20: Aleix Espargaro is 11th for the moment, just behind Johann Zarco.
09:34

09:28
13/20: Bagnaia takes risks to regain the lead. Watch out for the Italian who would lose very big in the event of a fall.
09:26
If Quartararo goes down to P4 and Bagnaia regains the lead, the Italian will be crowned today, let’s remember.
09:25
We risk seeing Fabio Quartararo having to defend his P3 for around ten laps. It might be hot.
09:24

09:22
🔴 BASTIANINI PASS! The Italian overtook his compatriot and took the lead.

09:17
Bezzecchi is on the pace and tries to get back to Quartararo. If Bagnaia’s teammate were to overtake the Frenchman, he would offer the title of world champion to the Italian.
09:15

09:14

The Frenchman melts on Marc Marquez, who is only 3 tenths ahead of Quartararo for 4th place.
09:06
2/20: There are currently 7 tenths between the 4th Marc Marquez and Fabio Quartararo. The Frenchman must not let the top 4 escape.

08:16
❌ Bagnaia and Quartararo set back
The Italian and the French, leader and runner-up in the general classification of the championship, could not do better than 9th and 12th, during qualifying. Perhaps a little pressure for “Pecco” as he approaches a crowning potential…
08:13
🔝 Jorge Martin in pole position
The Spaniard simply broke the track record on his first attempt in Q2, yesterday morning, in 1’58”021. A time that he then improved to 1’57”790”. Even the first time would have been enough for him to take pole.
