Barely a week ago, Marc Marquez was playing his first match point in MotoGP with a view to the title at stake this season. We know what happens next for the Spaniard. HAS Phillip Island, it is in Moto2 that the game could be over, with a bagnaia 37 points ahead of KTM rider Oliveira. The latter is condemned to recovery and victory to stop the Italian winning machine on the Kalex. But nothing will be more complicated for the Portuguese…
Because even in his camp, there is some doubt about a complete turnaround in the situation. The sports boss in Mattighofen Pit Beirer is annoyed by the poor qualifications of his spearhead which cost him possible achievements under the checkered flag. Then there is this merciless assessment: bagnaia has collected 120 points out of 125 in the last five races and Olive tree only 81.
So much so that the representative of Sky Racing Team VR46 is 37 lengths ahead of the Portuguese... In other words, to hope to be crowned from Phillip Island, he will have to register at least 13 units more than him.
Here are the different combinations that would allow a coronation of Francis Bagnaia in Australia :
– If he wins, Miguel Oliveira must not do better than fifth
– If he finishes second, Miguel Oliveira must not do better than ninth
– If he finishes third, Miguel Oliveira must not do better than 13th
– If he finishes fourth, Miguel Oliveira must not score points.
