Two-Man Race
Three races are left to determine who will be the 2022 MotoGP rider’s world champion, and it’s a two-rider race.
Bagnaia is on quite the run of success for the Ducati Team, playing a significant role in helping Ducati win the 2022 MotoGP constructors world championship. Bagnaia needs to have a strong finish at Phillip Island to move closer to the individual title.
Bagnaia is two points behind reigning champion Quartararo of the Yamaha team that currently sits third in the constructor’s championship. Quartararo and Yamaha need to be better over the final three Grand Prix races than they have been recently.
In his last seven races, Quartararo has only managed one podium and four points finishes along with two retirements. That will not be good enough to hold off Bagnaia and Ducati for the rider’s championship.
