As in the past, Motegi marks the first circuit of the year in which Marc Márquez can be crowned champion, depending on a series of combinations.

The seventh world title, fifth in the largest class, is at the door and Márquez can match, to win this year, Mick Doohan. At this moment has 271 points, plus 77 than Andrea Dovizioso. With 100 potential points on the table, Márquez is the champion to win at Motegi, no matter where DesmoDovi ends. Everything else just lets you celebrate the title depending on third parties.

It is enough then, in other words, if he doesn’t win, finish the race with 75 more points than the italian and the championship is delivered to the Cervera’s rider.
