168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia caught 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo to claim Ducati’s first MotoGP title since 2007 - but the biggest surprise was that Gresini’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Enea Bastianini and Aprilia’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro 🐻also battled for the world championship until the penultimate round.

So who did our podcast panel pick as their MotoGP rider of t൩he🐠 year?

“It can only be 🥀one person – he won the world championship; Pecco Bagnaia!” said former Grand Prix rider and British champion K🦂eith Huewen.

“T﷽hat’s boring isn’t i꧑t!” quipped podcast host Harry Benjamin.

Huewen: “I know, I thought ‘that is so bloody boring’ and 🍨that is&nꦡbsp;so not me. But at the end of the day, the guy who wins the MotoGP Championship has got to be my #1.

“But don’t worry, my answers get better 🦂as we move through this awards list, the🌱re are some surprises coming up!"

ltxcn.top MotoGP editor Pete McLaren felt a compelling argument could beཧ made for picking any of the world championship top four:

“I honestly think you could make a case for any of the top four riders. I think this year it's harder than normal. Normally it basically comes down to the guy who wins the championship and the gu🧔y who was second.

“But this year, any of the top four could be your best, depending on what else y꧃ou consider as well as just results. Things like performance relative to team-mates, bu🃏t also I think shock value, meaning who outperformed in terms of what you expected them to do at the start of the year.

“That's where the guys in third and fourth, Bastianini and Aleix Espargaro, score above Bagnaia and Quartararo♈.

“But for me, ಌit’s still Bagnaia, just. For the reason that Keith said and also, whatever happened before, it came down to a three-race title showdown after Thailand, when Bagnaia and Quartararo were basically level on🧜 points.

“Quartararo made mistakes in the Phillip Island race and 𝄹lost 16 points to Bagnaia, who went on to win the title by 17 points. So for me, that’s what it basically came ✱down to. But there was very little difference between them.

“That said, Quar🌸tararo was my winner inཧ the ‘Overachiever of the Year’ category.”

Podcast host Harry Benjamin bucked the trend: “I have𒊎 gone for Enea Bastianini as my best rider this year.

“Pete's already basically explained it as far as the shock value, but also his per♒formance relative to Zarco, earning promotion to the factory team and pipping Aleix right at the🌠 end to get third in the championship.

“Obviously Bagnaia was exceptional, but I love an underdog, and I’m not bori🧸ng, so I’m going 𒀰for Bastianini!”

Next on Benjamin’s awards list was Best Manufacturer, followeꦛd by Best Team, Best Team Principal, Best Haircut, Best Overtake, Biggest Disappointment, Overachiever of the Year, Heart-breaking Moment of the Year, Best Race, Best livery and finally Best and Worst Tracks.
