Petronas Sepang International Circuit 19
With more races across more countries than ever, a powerhouse grid promises thrilling battles from the start. From Thailand to Spain, Argentina to America, and stunning backdrops like Mandalika and Portimão, get ready for an unforgettable season!
If recent form is a gauge, there is a clear favourite coming to Malaysia: Marc Marquez, who wrapped up the MotoGP™ World Championship in Japan.
But the 32-year old was injured in Malaysia, which means he will miss this weekend’ s action. His absence really opens up the victory fight to other names on the grid.
Main competition will likely come from Alex Marquez( BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP), who is on course to take second overall, thanks to his first and second MotoGP™ victories at Jerez and Barcelona. The Catalan has been the year’ s breakout star.
Pecco Bagnaia( Ducati Lenovo Team) will be keen to bounce back from a tough midseason run of results. The two-time MotoGP™ World Champion has form here, too, winning two of the past three races on Malaysian soil.
Marco Bezzecchi( Aprilia Racing) has been the rider taking the fight to the Marquez brothers in recent rounds. He won the Sprint at Misano and Indonesia, showing the Aprilia RS-GP is now a consistent contender in the fight against the Ducatis.
Honda will be looking to maintain its brilliant recent run, with Joan Mir( Honda HRC Castrol) keen to back up his Motegi podium with another good result here. And with Fabio Quartararo
