The MotoGP European tour continues its frenetic pace, and this time it's the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya that's about to rock. Four classes will be on track, from Moto3 to MotoGP to MotoE, and while some battles remain uncertain and thrilling, another seems already written in stone: Marc Marquez could seal his world title at Misano, on Valentino Rossi's home turf, if the scenario continues to favor him.
It is impossible to ignore the gigantic shadow hanging over Barcelona: Marc Marquez. Untouchable for weeks, the pilot Ducati factory continues to rack up victories with chilling regularity. His dominance is such that he could begin celebrating his world title as soon as Misano, unless there is an improbable twist.
The other issue? See if Pecco Bagnaia et Marco Bezzecchi manage to break the infernal spiral of #93, while Peter Acosta still seeks to turn his flashes of speed into victory.
Wildcards and injuries: the paddock under tension in Catalonia
Le Grand Prix of Catalonia could also be marked by the return of some highly anticipated wild cards. Lorenzo Savadori should resume service with Aprilia, andAleix Espargaro, despite his recent injury, could well test the Honda on track.
In Moto3, a first will be observed with Marco Morelli who will start under the colors of MLav Racing.
On the infirmary side, doubts still linger: Maverick Vinales et Somkiat Chantra in MotoGP, as well as Senna Agius in Moto2, remain uncertain for the weekend.
