Ten Points Difference in the ‘Championship of Mistakes’; ‘What if Bagnaia or Martín Crash ?!’

The MotoGP championship is in full swing and has been full of drama, unforeseen events and a lot of uncertainty, especially as far as the championship leaders are concerned, and in what Pecco Bagnaia called ‘a championship of mistakes’, Ernest Riveras underlined the ‘uncertainty’ that has clouded this MotoGP World Championship, now with a week’s break before the caravan heads to Australia.

The truth is that both Marc Márquez and Enea Bastianini are not far away from the title, he believes, even if all eyes are on Bagnaia and Jorge Martín. But what if the leading duo have setbacks and these are taken advantage of by their closest competitors? ‘They say it’s a two-man thing, but there are still a lot of points to go’, he said, before going on to say that such excitement isn’t particularly easy to find in other championships:

– I don’t know, but it’s very beautiful. It’s the luck that motorcycles have, that they have this level of spectacularity. And, above all, a level of uncertainty that doesn’t exist in many other sports.

In the ‘Duralavita’ podcast, the Spaniard mentioned, quoted by Motosan, the striking balance that has been present in the championship and left a question in the air, which more than ever, given what has happened, is worth asking: ‘Ten points. And failing every time. Who’s to say that, in the extreme climate of Phillip Island, one or two of those competing won’t fall?’
