Is a French Grand Prix already decisive from a World Championship perspective? We are only at the fifth round of the 2024 MotoGP World Championship, but the Riders’ classification is already shaping up in favor of Jorge Martin, especially after yesterday’s victory in the Sprint, his twelfth in 24 Sprints contested. The Prima Pramac Racing Spaniard now has a 28 point lead over Bastianini and 29 over Bagnaia, who scored his second consecutive “zero” in the Sprints yesterday. And so the two official Ducatis, in particular Bagnaia, are forced to have to get a result in France so as not to allow Martin to spread in the championship.
It is also a key race from a future perspective, with ongoing reflections at Ducati on who should be Bagnaia’s teammate in 2025 and 2026 and with Martin doing everything he can to win that much-dreamed-of official place. A place that Marc Marquez is also aiming for, yesterday making a sensational start and today he will try to repeat himself in order to cultivate both his world championship dream and further confirmation of his state of health from a physical and sporting point of view. Also worth monitoring are the two Aprilias, in excellent shape, and also the two VR46s of Di Giannantonio and Bezzecchi, with the latter throwing a great chance of getting a result into the gravel yesterday. Lots of irons in the fire to follow together in this LIVE. We remind you to refresh the page for the latest updates.
