Upon arrival of Thailand Grand Prix, first in MotoGP history, Marc Marquez materialized with the fingers of both hands a number 7 which took stock of his victories at this stage of the season. But during the next meeting, which will take place at Motegi, for a Japanese Grand Prix dear to his employer Honda, the same Marquez could very well repeat the scene. But to better recall the number of titles won in his career…
Indeed, in two weeks, Marc Marquez will play his first match point to victoriously end this campaign before the end. Thanks to its achievement in Buriram, it is 77 steps ahead of Andrea Dovizioso. It will be enough for him to leave Japan with 75 points ahead of the same Ducati official to secure his fifth MotoGP crown and his seventh absolute. We could almost call it a formality!
To be crowned at Motegi, here are the possible scenarios:
