Márquez seeks his tenth world championship against Jorge Martín in Qatar and continue making history in MotoGP

The traffic lights go out!

Bezzecchi comes out very well. Marc slips a little, but maintains the trail, although Raúl Fernández comes strong behind him, snatching the second position: the Spaniard moves up two places, also taking advantage of the contact between Di Giannantonio, who has fallen many positions, and Ogura. Also a good start from Jorge Martín, who is already eighth.

Return to training!

We take this opportunity to remember Marc Márquez's accounts to be champion: he has to win to add 25 points and Jorge Martín does not score. In this way, to prevent the '93' from winning its tenth title, Martinator has to finish at least fifteenth, the last position that awards points.

We remember the starting grid!

Marco Bezzecchi starts from pole, with Marc Márquez in second position. Fabi Di Giannantonio completes the podium and, behind him, Raúl Fernández, Ai Ogura and Johann Zarco. The top-10 is closed by Acosta, Aldeguer, Bastianini and Jorge Martín, who needs to score points today to prevent Márquez from becoming champion.

Today there could be a champion

Marc Márquez has in Qatar his first mathematical opportunity to win his tenth world title, although the Ducati rider was pessimistic this Saturday: "Tomorrow is not the case, neither for me to win the race, nor for Martín not to score," he expressed, because from his point of view it is "a carom that I hope happens, but it doesn't happen."

The weekend incident

The fall of Marco Bezzecchi, after trying to pass Márquez on the inside and both of them touching, which ended with the Italian on the ground, was the most talked about incident of the entire weekend. "If you see the images from the helicopter, in all the laps of the curve I do exactly the same line and for me, in a very different curve, it was a very similar incident to the one in Indonesia last year," said the '93' after the sprint.
