It has been said many times that in such a tight confrontation for the title victory between Martìn and Bagnaia, the only imperative for both would be not to make mistakes. But today Pecco Bagnaia failed in this mission and made a mistake that weighs like a boulder on his hopes of confirming himself as MotoGP world champion for the third consecutive time. The fall in the Sepang Sprint gave Martìn the chance to take himself to a comfortable +29 in the overall standings, with Jorge who in contrast to his rival was perfect.
The math by no means condemns Bagnaia, because with two GPs and a Sprint still to go the game is still open, but certainly the percentages are now all in favor of a Martìn ready to write history by winning the MotoGP title as an independent rider. All under the eyes of Marc Marquez and Enea Bastianini, who today failed to insert themselves in the fight, perhaps taking points away from one or the other pretender. They made the podium in second and third in fact, but tomorrow they could both have a hand in helping Bagnaia's hopes or perhaps drown them out for good.
