There are four Grands Prix left to distribute, 100 points to distribute and five drivers combined into 59 units. A priori the games remain open for winning the crown at stake during this 2017 MotoGP season. Especially since the leading trio overall is grouped into 28 points. Certainly, but the history of the Grands Prix has shown that the one who took the lead in the debates in this last line of doubt was generally the one who won the day. A good omen for Marc Marquez.

A trend explained on the site MotoGP.com. The official voice of the Grands Prix notes in fact that there are only two seasons in history which have not rewarded the driver who appeared at the top of the championship four races from the epilogue: in 1998 first, to the great dismay of one Max Biaggi who was ahead Mick doohan four points behind Brno. But in the end the Australian was crowned with a margin of 52 units.

Then there was the eventful end of the 2015 game. Valentino Rossi had left Aragón with a lead of 14 lengths over his teammate Jorge Lorenzo. Which was ultimately titled in Valencia for five points. It is true that the outcome was influenced by a choice arbiter: Marc Márquez...

Precisely, it is now him who plays the hunted leader. Who will be his executioner? The Doctor as revenge? It would be comical to say the least... The fact remains that there is a rule that has been verified so far which dictates that the third party should never take advantage of this situation. Enough to demoralize a little more Casa Particular in Viñales… Who would become a legend in the event of a change of heart!
