Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin 🅷are separated by just 14 points heading into the fin🅺al two rounds.

Bagnaia, who outscored Martin by one point in Sepang, has been the lea♉der for nearly the entire campaign.

• Oliveira hoping to ‘be🀅nef🍬it’ from last year’s form in Qatar 
• “Not easy wheꩲn your title rival is looking at your data”

Martin was briefly💦 atop the world championship standings in Mandalika, 𒁏however, a crash whilst leading the main race handed the advantage back to Bagnaia who went on to win. 

Bagnaia was the rider with the early season form despite a couple of crashes, hಞowever, since Catalunya Martin has been the best rider in MotoGP. 

It’s𝓡 likely the title fightജ will go down to the final round in Valencia, but whatever happens over the next two rounds, the rider who keeps their calm will come out on top, according to legends of the past.

Speaking to MotoGP.com, Stoner admitted his mentality was to go one race at a time: “I always went race by race. I ♛didn’t try to look too far into the distance because if you get 𝓀caught looking too far ahead you don’t worry about what’s happening now.”

Agostini, who is the most successful rider ever in terms of championships won, was next to speak saying: “You have pressure the whole season and th🦄e people are waiting for the victory 🅠from you. 

“To win the world championship you must try every Grand Prix. You must have a good strategy, be very professionaཧl, set-up the bike perfectly - all of this can help you win.”

While a good strategy, being one of the fastest and ꦦknowing how to get the bestꦅ out of themselves on a bad day is crucial to a successful title challenge, so is consistency.

That was one of the biggest strengths Mick Doohan had, with the Australian adding: “Consistency is the key. You have to work hard. You need commitment, dedication and the team𝔉; everything needs to fall into place. That’s why it is so difficult to win a championship.”
