Zarco, Kent can be world champions in Japan
The MotoGP title contest may be far from over, b🍷⛄ut new world 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 Zarcꦕo stands a much better chance of sealing the 🧔Moto2 title during his second attempt at Motegi.
The Frenchman's lead over r😼eigning champion Tito Rabat now stands at 78 points and, if he is at le𓄧ast 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 Danny 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 n♚eed to win with Bastianini eleventh or lower, or finish second if Bastianini failed to score.
Both Zarco ꩵand Kent claimed their first grand prix ✱wins 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 forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
