T✃he 2024 MotoGP title will be decided at the final race of the season ♎in Sunday’s Solidarity Grand Prix, after Francesco Bagnaia kept his hopes alive with sprint victory.

Ahead of this weekend’s return to Barcelona, ൲Pramac’s Jorge Martin led the way in the standings by 24 points over Bagnaia.

Martin needed to outscore Bagnaia by just two points to clinch the title on Saturday, but was demoted to third on the last lap 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:of the sprint by Enea Bastianini.

With Bastianini’s factory Ducati team-m🌄ate Bagnaia winning the sprint, the gap in the standings has come down to 19 for Sunday’s 24-lap grand prix.

A number of riders at Barcelona on Saturday have already pla🐬yed a role in the championship fight.

Bagnaia was able to tow Marc Marquez to third on the grid in qualifying, while Aleix Espargar𒈔o qualified second while le🐟tting his close friend Martin use him as a reference to put his Pramac-run GP24 fourth.

Bastianini didn’t have the chꦍampionship factored into his strategy for the sprint when he overtook Martin on the last lap, but it’s a pass that could prove pivotal depending on how Sunday goes.

Martin’s Pramac team-mate Fran💙co Morbidelli has been unwittingly caught in the middle of the title battle, after he found himself behind Marquez and Bagnaia in Q2.

Morbidelli almost did a lap ti🐲me that would have demoted Martin down to fi🌄fth on the grid, though this is where the Italian ultimately ended up.

In the sprint, Morbidelli found himself in the battle for the podium with Bastianini and M𒁃ar﷽tin in a tight group.

While racing for himself, Morbidelli is in a unique position: he is team-mate to one title cha🍸llenger, while the other is a fellow VR46 Academy member.

“Yeah, it i🅰s tricky,” Morbidelli said when asked by ltxcn.top how he is handling the situation.

“Also today when ꧅I💎 was chasing Jorge, it was tricky.

“It’s really important and I  don’t want tꦯo be in🌸 the middle of anything.

“I’m not in any fight for championship at the moment, so I don’😼t wan🅘t to play any role in that. I just have a really special position in watching the fight.”

He added: “I wanted to overtake Enea. I’m not protecting🉐 anybody. I don’🦄t want to play any role. I would like to do my race. I don’t want to play any role in this.”

When🔯 asked, if the situation arises, he would overtake Martin, he said: “Yes, as well.”

He gave the same reply when asked the same thing about pas𓂃sing Bagnaia: “Yes as well. It is the place ꦆto be.”
