MotoGP Betting Analysis for the 2022 Motul Grand Prix of Japan Race

Fabio Quartararo

Last season proved to be a breakthrough year for Quartararo, as he won 5 races, stayed consistent from start to finish, and ended up winning the championship. He already has 3 race wins under his belt in 2022 and once again is on top of the championship standings, but the lead he had is narrowing. Quartararo has now gone 5 races without a win, but perhaps more importantly, he was forced to retire in 2 of those races, which meant picking up zero points in those outings. Perhaps he has a shot here, as his last run in Japan, which came in 2019, saw him finish 2^nd.

Francesco Bagnaia

Don’t look now, but Bagnaia is on an absolute tear that has him right on the heels of the defending champion. This is following a similar path to last season, where Bagnaia finished incredibly strong but ended up falling just short of Quartararo. Over the last 10 races, Bagnaia has 6 wins and a 2^nd place finish. The downside is that he had to retire in the 3 other races, which meant leaving points out on the track. Had he picked up anything in those races, he would probably be in the lead right now. In his final season in Moto2, Bagnaia won in Japan.

Aleix Espargaro

If you are going to talk about consistency this season, you need to talk about Espargaro. He has managed to finish every race this season and has only fallen outside the top 10 once. He only has 1 win on the season, but he has also been on the podium in 6 other races. Espargaro is 17 points out of the lead, so still very much in the hunt to win a world championship, although he might need a win or two coming down the stretch to make that happen, He has not been great in Japan, but this is a breakout season for him, so perhaps we can expect better.

Enea Bastinanini

The gap between Bastianini and the top spot is 48 points, which is going to be very tough to make up with just 5 races remaining on the season. He does, though, have 4 wins on the season, including a victory in the last grand prix, so he certainly is capable of going on a run in the late stages. Bastianini ran 7^th in his last visit to Japan.
