Tomorrow Pecco Bagnaia may have to cede the scepter of MotoGP master to Jorge Martìn. On the first day of the last weekend of the season, Pecco set the best time, but the general feeling is that the Spaniard of Pramac is in absolute control of the situation. With a 24-point lead, the only one who could lose the title is Jorge himself, but by now he is really a different rider than the one seen at the end of 2023.
By now the Spaniard holds the pressure perfectly and knows he has an honest chance tomorrow to win his first MotoGP title. The statistics say so, because it is precisely in the domination of the Sprint Races that Martìn has built his current ranking situation, while it is precisely in the Sprints that Bagnaia has made so many mistakes, including the one in May right here in Barcelona, when he threw away a victory he already had in his pocket.
Other riders will then have to be added to the equation. Aleix Espargarò will do everything to help Martìn and has the potential to put himself in the middle. Bezzecchi was strong today, but he remains an unknown ahead of the races. Marquez and Bastianini will race without thinking about the two fighting for the title, but they can certainly play a role as well. Our correspondents in Barcelona, Paolo Scalera and Matteo Aglio, in the company of Carletto Pernat, explain it all.
