Jack Miller arrives at this weekend’s Malaysian MotoGP sore from last Sunday’s big Phillip Island impact from Alex Marquez, which also officially ended his 2022 title hopes.
Aleix Espargaro says basic problems have cost him and Aprilia in recent rounds and that winning the 2022 MotoGP title is unlikely with just two races to go.
With a 14-point deficit to Francesco Bagnaia, Fabio Quartararo badly needs to beat the Ducati rider in this weekend’s penultimate round of the MotoGP season at Sepang.
Fabio Quartararo’s plan for the Malaysian MotoGP is full out attack as the Yamaha rider claims ‘I have nothing to lose’ in the title battle with Francesco Bagnaia.
Francesco Bagnaia’s hopes of becoming a MotoGP champion, the first for Ducati since 2007 and the first Italian since his hero Valentino Rossi in 2009, could become a reality this weekend.
With Sepang hosting the opening pre-season test of the year in February, this week’s Malaysian MotoGP offers the chance for riders and teams to gauge their progress since.
After the 2023 MotoGP calendar was announced, the full testing schedule for the season, which starts immediately after the Valencia 2022 finale on November 6, has been confirmed.
Having taken the MotoGP title lead by 14 points at Phillip Island, Francesco Bagnaia can be crowned world champion at the Malaysian MotoGP at Sepang this weekend if he leaves with a lead of at least 25 points.
The Malaysian MotoGP at Sepang will remain on the world championship calendar until at least 2024, with 'all parties already in discussion to extend the agreement until 2026.'
