The Qatar Airways MotoGP is all set to witness history. Starting December 17, fans will be on the edge of their seats as Jorge Martin and Francesco Pecco Bagnaia will be fighting it out for the ultimate gold. Speaking about their form this year, both are in sublime touch. While Bagnaia has done justice to his reigning champion title by staying at the top with 412 points, Martin does not lag far behind. With an impressive 398 points, the competition is almost neck to neck. 

As fans wait with bated breath, let us do a quick round-up of who has the chance of lifting the coveted trophy this year. Will it be Bagnaia again? Or will Martin come from behind to make history? 

Motorsports lovers on the edge as mouth-watering Bagnaia v Martin awaits

Going by the red-hot form both the riders are in, fans are quite confused as to who holds the advantage in Qatar. In a surprising coincidence, both the riders failed to clinch a victory in the recently concluded Malaysian MotoGP. Instead, it was Enea Bastianini, Bagnaia’s teammate, who took the victory. This performance was a setback for both Bagnaia and Martin. More so for Bagnaia, as he confessed that the slim lead of fourteen points at the top was not enough to see off Martin. 

For Bagnaia to secure victory, Saturday’s race will be very much crucial. He must aim to bag at least 12 more points to have a significant advantage over Martin. The 26-year-old also has the chance to put an end to the rivalry on Sunday if he can grab all the 25 points that will be on offer. However, if Martin manages to keep his cool and grab some important points, then the party will move to Valencia for the showdown.
