Twenty-four laps of the circuit and, at the end, a world title. There is only one Grand Prix left, this Sunday in Barcelona, to decide between the leader of the World Championship Jorge Martin and his main competitor, the double reigning world champion Francesco Bagnaia.
Winner of the sprint race this Saturday, the Italian delayed the Spaniard’s promised coronation and returned to 19 points behind the leader in the general classification. For Bagnaia, the calculation is therefore simple this Sunday: he must finish in first place and hope that Martin does not do better than 10th or in second place while counting on a catastrophic race from the Spaniard, a fall or at best a 15th place. If Bagnaia will start from pole position, Martin will be 4th on the starting grid.
Initially scheduled for Valencia, the last Grand Prix of the season was relocated to Barcelona after the dramatic floods which left more than 210 dead at the end of October.
The start of the Barcelona Grand Prix will be given this Sunday at 2 p.m. It can be followed on Canal +.
