Who will win the Australian MotoGP and take the next crucial points in the World Championship title fight?
Francesco Bagnaia’s victory in the last race in Japan has reduced the gap in the World Championship drivers’ standings to Jorge Martin to 10 points.
The Spaniard has been in very good form of late. He took second place in Motegi – 1.189 seconds behind Bagnaia.
For the upcoming race in Down Under, the two World Cup rivals are once again considered the hottest candidates for first place and victory.
Besides the duo, there are two more names that are reckoned to have a chance of winning. One is Enea Bastianini (third in the standings) and the other is Marc Marquez (fourth in the standings).
Other potential contenders for a strong performance in Australia include Pedro Acosta, Brad Binder and Maverick Vinales. Acosta, in particular, should be watched after his second place finish in Indonesia.
