Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha YZR M1) faces one of his toughest commitments in contention for this weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix. MotoGP at the Motegi circuit after the “debacle” on the first lap of the Motorland Aragon race.

Quartararo’s ‘Zero’ edged Italy’s Francesco ‘Pecco’ Bagnaia (Ducati Desmosedici GP22) by just 10 points. Absolutely ‘explosive’ late-season star with five consecutive podium finisheswinning four of them, but his compatriot and Ducati rider Enea “The Beast” Bastianini interfered in that comeback.

Bagnaia has emerged as one of its most serious rivals, if not its only one.in the battle for the 2022 world title, the accident suffered by the Frenchman at the Arcaniz circuit only added excitement to the final part of the championship, with five races in just seven weeks and a successor. Case., Fabio Quartararo.

There were many other conditioning factors in that fight, the first being “Pecco” Bagnaia, who had just 10 in his situation on the points table., but Aleix Espargaro (Aprilia RS-GP) is 17 points behind. Unobtrusively ranked in his 9th place in the UK, he battled Grand Prix after Grand Prix for the best spot in the category, eagerly looking for another win to add to his record following his win in Argentina. I’m here.

Aleix Espargaro has proven to be a good rider and owns a bike that is almost on par with a powerful Ducati.It has the broadest representation in the MotoGP starting line-up, allowing it to already be the mathematically declared constructors world champion.

And, criticized or not, the manufacturer’s policy of imposing team orders for at least the Borgo Panigale is, and will continue to be, very “banal”. At Motorland Aragon, Enea Bastianini overtook ‘Pecco’ Bagnaia on the final lap and took five points from him. On his personal account, and in the championship fight in which ‘Beast’ Bastianini took part, he is far behind but 48 points behind Quartararo when 125 points are in contention.

Marc Márquez’s (Repsol Honda RC 213 V) return to competition did not go as expected after a collision with Fabio Quartararo Having left him out of the race entirely by accident on the first lap of the race, the eight-time world champion arrives in Motegi hoping to get rid of that ‘thorn’, but with the goal that he never tires. A reminder whenever you can have as a priority to ride the maximum possible distance on a motorcycle.

Either way, the energy company pilot will be one of Motegi’s benchmarks.especially due to the fact that it is on a Honda-owned track and the good performances and victories of the riders are always viewed with great joy by the heads of the brand, this time it will be the ‘local’ Takaaki Nakagami, after the fall , where he suffered from Marc Marquez himself as the protagonist of the Teruel track.

If Nakagami is suspicious, who is not sure? Joan Mir (SUZUKI GSX RR) after getting off the bike at Arcanis and securing recovery time His broken ankle certainly puts him in suspicion ahead of the next race at Thailand’s Buriram circuit in seven days.

A long line of Ducati pilots can be added to the long list aspiring to “stand out” in Japan The Australian Jack Miller, the Frenchman Johann Zarco, the Spaniard Jorge Martin, the Italians Marco Bezecchi and Luca Marini are almost always there. Let’s not forget South Africa’s Brad Binder, who blew us away with his KTM RC 16 performance. His teammate, Portuguese Miguel Oliveira, wants to say goodbye to the Austrian manufacturer and join Aprilia in the best possible way.

Maverick Vinales (Aprilia RS-GP) is another rider to watch. Well, his performance at Arcanis was a far cry from what was seen in recent races due to poor training and problems he had caught on the opening laps of Motorland. Good results at Motegi.

Something more or less similar happened to Alex Rins (Suzuki GSX RR), Teruel, who finished ninth, will definitely look to improve at the Japanese circuit, as will fellow compatriot Alex Marquez (Honda RC 213 V).
