This weekend, the Japan Grand Prix will revolve around a possibility: that Marc Márquez Mathematically achieves the title. Leaving aside the controversy that has arisen in the last dates, of achieving this will be its seventh MotoGP title and the ninth of the Motorcycling World Cup, which will reach the figure of Valentino Rossi. They would stay, both, only behind Ángel Nieto and Giacomo Agostini as the pilots with the most world titles in the history of the World Cup.
For Marc to reach the title in a mathematical way, he has to make a “normal” weekend. Understanding normally on weekends he has done all year, except for the United States, Jerez and San Marino. Making a quiet Japan Grand Prix and without errors “only” you have to add three more points than Álex to reach the title mathematically, something that can only happen on Sunday.
If Marc repeats, for example, the patron of Montmeló, will be crowned champion of the Japan GP. But if it happens as in San Marino, where both added more points, the title would have to wait for Indonesia, something that would also happen if neither of the two adds points.
But looking beyond the fight for the title between the Márquez brothers, it is also interesting to see what they are able to make two of the pilots who grow up as the season progresses. This is Marco Bezzecchi and Pedro Acosta. Outside the Ducati orbit, they are being able to systematically face the Panigale Pilots and that indicates, on the one hand, a good mechanical performance and, of course, a great do at the pilot level.
So much so that they occupy the fourth and fifth position respectively in the general. And although Acosta has it more complicated, Bezzecchi is in a position to fight for third place, with a Pecco Bagnaia that needs to recover its sensations to show again the speed that characterizes it.
The fact of being in the Japan GP makes it a special appointment for Yamaha and for Honda. In the case of Honda, taking into account that Motegi is a circuit of his property, we are seeing how the results are consolidated in the last great prizes and knowing that this is a particular track, it is not disposable that Mir, Marini and Zarco are once again fighting in the top10. While uncertainty continues in Yamaha, where it seems clear that only Fabio Quartaro can put what is lacking, and there are weekends that no matter how much Gallic strives or is enough.
Complicated situation for a Yamaha M1 pilots who are surely fulfilling the last turns with the 4 online engine, despite the fact that the initial results of the V4 have not meant a revolution either.
Where to see the Japan Grand Prix 2025
This weekend, the first of the early risks of long vigils to be able to enjoy the training and careers live on the usual channels. That is, on the one hand we have Dazn that through its platform and other operators it offers everything that happens on the track, interviews and press conferences.
Meanwhile, on the other side we find the MotoGP video -play that offers all its programming and the contents that can be accessed in English but whenever you have hired because right now it does not allow new highs and refers to Dazn in Spain.
