‘MotoGP should consider double win, fastest lap bonus points’
Is it time to shake up the MotoGP scoring system?

“This is a scoring system that has been there forever” 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia is reported as saying during🌸 Ducati🧔’s 'Campioni in Festa' celebration in Bologna on Tuesday night.
The🌟 current MotoGP scoring system has been in place for a long time, since 1993, or four years befor﷽e Bagnaia was born.
But the addition of Sprint races from 2023, adding an extra 12 points per weekend on top of the usual 25 for a grand prix win, means Bagnaia feels the points system could now benefit from some ‘bonus’ tweak⛄s.
“This is a scoring system that has been there forever, since before the Sprint races arrived, which changed ⛄a lot the system in which to get ඣpoints in a race weekend,” quotes Bagnaia as saying.
“With the introduction of this [Sprint] race, I think we should consider the idea of inco🌠rporating bonuses for those who win both races [per weekend], or maybe the fastest lap… something to reward those who are faster.”
🍬Bagnaia lost out to Jorg🌸e Martin by ten points in this year’s MotoGP title fight.
The Pram🌳ac rider out-scored Bagnaia significantly on Saturdays, although the Italian was still the second-highest Sprint scorer of the season and matched Martin with seven Sprint wins.
Bagnaia emphasise⭕d that the current system is 'balanced' and that he had benefitted by staying in the titl💃e hunt despite eight non-scores (five in Sprints, three in GPs).
Howeve꧂r, h𝓀e feels ‘something more’ should be considered.
“[MotoGP] has always been a championship that has rewarded consistency and the scoring system that is in place today has [also] allowed me to fight for ei꧙ght zeros [non-sc♔ores], so it’s balanced,” he said.
“However, in my opinion, the Sprint influences on several fronts, not just the show, so ෴perhaps something more should perhap🐼s be considered.”
Counting only Sunday grand prix races, Bagnaia - who won 11 GPs this season compared with three for Martin - outscore๊d the Spaniard by 370 points to 337 this year.
