Jorge Martín continues to lead the MotoGP World Championship standings after the Australian GP. This year he has not had to regret tire problems due to a drop in performance and the Madrid native leaves Phillip Island at the top of the championship, after winning the sprint and finishing second in the long race, and increases his advantage over Pecco Bagnaia.
Martinateur He hit the double in Australian territory, but a certain Marc Marquez who was passing by and said it wasn’t possible. It is the eight-time world champion who He won the long race after a spectacular comeback. His start was not good and he fell to thirteenth position, but he managed to reverse the situation and in six laps he was already on the podium. Things of geniuses.
This victory allowed the Cervera driver regain third place in the MotoGP World Championship standings. The Gresini man came fourth in this race, two points behind third-place finisher Enea Bastianini. But thanks to his second place in the sprint and this Sunday’s victory in Australia, the 93 not only closed that gap, but surpassed it and increased the advantage. The Lleida native enters the last three races in third position in the World Championship with 14 points ahead of the beast.
This is the other big fight of this championship, because even if mathematically both have options to fight for the title, it seems quite complicated for them to achieve it. Márquez is 79 points behind the leader, Jorge Martínwith 111 to play and 59 behind second-placed Pecco Bagnaia. The former Honda rider should win almost everything and the top two should add zero or very few points. Given the latest results, this seems very difficult to achieve.
Martín extends his advantage
Concerning the great battle for the title of MotoGP world champion, Jorge Martin emerged victorious from Australia. That of San Sebastián de los Reyes came first with 10 points ahead of its rival, Pecco Bagnaia, and leaves with 10 more.

Everything indicates that the final battle will take place in Valenciain the last race, but if the Spaniard manages to continue on this path, he could arrive in a very different situation from the one in which he arrived last year. The Prima Pramac Racing driver has the upper hand in the home stretch of the season, and now comes Thailand, a circuit where last year he managed to sign a double of victories, winning on Saturday and Sunday. There is still a lot left and everything must be decided, but the two main fights, the one for the title and the one for third place, have a Spanish color at the moment.
