Zarco, Kent can be world champions in Japan
The MꦏotoGP title contest may be far from over, but new w🐎orld champions could be crowned in the Moto2 and Moto3 classes this Sunday in Japan.
After being 🧔made to wait with a sixth place at Aragon, Johann Zarco stands a much better chance of sealing the Moto2 title duri꧙ng his second attempt at Motegi.
The Frenchman's lead over re🔯igning champion Tito Rab♌at now stands at 78 points and, if he is at least 75 points ahead after Sunday's race, Zarco will be champion with three rounds to go.
Clinching the Moto3 crown will be a tougher mathematical prospect for D💯anny Kent. The Englishman is 55 points ahead of Enea Bastianini after they both fell on the final lap at Aragon.
To reach the required 75-point advantage, Kent would need to win with Bastianini eleventh or💙 lower, or finish second if Bastianini failed to score.
Both Zarco and Kent claimed their first grand prix win🍎s at Motegi, in 2011 and 2012 respectively.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the 𒉰forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
