For the third consecutive year, the last Grand Prix of the MotoGP season will determine the world champion of the premier category, thus creating a particular tension, but behind the battle which opposes the current leader Jorge Martin to the double title holder Francesco Bagnaia is other issues also play a role, such as for example the last step of the final podium between Marc Márquez and Enea Bastianini separated by only one point.
But what about the two French people currently in MotoGP?
With 108 points, Fabio Quartararo occupies 13th place in the championship, isolated between a Marco Bezzecchi holder of 144 units and Jack Miller owner of 84. Each weekend can yield a maximum of 37 points, which means thatThe devil should finish the 2024 season in the same place and look more for a reason for satisfaction in the recent progress of his Yamaha YZR-M1 than in a more than hypothetical jump in the general classification…
Johann Zarco17th in the championship, concedes 13 points to Raul Fernandez and has 22 more than Alex Rins. If the situation seems a little less fixed than that of his compatriot, changing this hierarchy still seems very difficult since even if the Aprilia rider did not score any points during the Sprint and the Barcelona Grand Prix, Johann Zarco has never scored 13 points on his Honda RC213V during a weekend this year. His maximum, 9 points, was achieved in Indonesia, thanks to an 8th place in the Sprint and a 9th position during the Grand Prix.
Without any real challenge for the two French people who will also be on the same handlebars next year, work will therefore focus on the 2025 season this weekend, validating the final settings of their 2024 mounts before discovering and comparing the prototypes of the next season from the following Tuesday.
