When it comes to professional sports, we all tend to get a little carried away when we see a team, or an athlete get out to a fast start.
There is a tendency to forget that the season is long, and some are slower to get rolling than others.

My Analysis
This is what we saw in the early going in MotoGP, with Jorge Martin getting out to a fast start. The gap at the top is closing, though, and it certainly looks as though we are going to see a championship battle that will go all the way to the final few weeks.
For this weekend, we will see the riders head to the Netherlands for the Motul TT Assen race. Will we see things get tighter at the top after this one? Let’s take a look at some of the potential winners.
^Jorge Martin
Through the opening 5 races of the season, Martin came away with a pair of wins, but since his victory in France, he has now gone 2 in a row without taking a checkered flag.
That said, he was on the podium in both of those races, taking his point total for the season to 171, which has him 18 points up in the next closest rider.
Martin won 4 races last season and only managed to finish in 2nd overall, so he is probably well aware that he needs to win more this season if he wants to take the next step and win a championship.
Jorge finished 5th in this race last season but we can expect him to do better this time around.
^Francesco Bagnaia
Knowing what it takes to win a championship tends to give athletes and edge, so you have to know that Bagnaia is going to be tough to beat. He came into this season looking for his 3rd straight tile.
He has done it a pair of different ways, coming from behind to win his first championship, while essentially leading the way from start to finish last season.
Bagnaia is already more than halfway to his win total from last season, winning 4 races to this point, He has won this race in back-to-back seasons, so he has to be the favorite here.
^Marc Marquez
It has now been 5 years since Marquez won his last world championship, but it has been injuries that have impacted on him as opposed to some decline in his skills.
He has been healthy this season, though, and is very much in the championship hunt. Marquez is sitting in 3rd overall right now, 35 points out of the lead.
Marc is still looking for his first win of the season, and he is going to need to start picking up some checkered flags if he is to nab championship number 7.
^Enea Bastianini
At this point, you have to say that the championship race is down to 3 potential winners, but there is still plenty of time for that to change.
Batianini has been on the podium 3 times this season, and while that is a very decent return, it is not enough to keep pace with the guys that are winning on a regular basis.
He has not had a ton of success in this race, and top 5 might be the best we can hope for.

2023 Motul TT Assen
We are 7 races into the 2023 MotoGP season and after the most recent race in Germany, we have seen things tighten up just a little at the top of the rider standings. That’s good news for fans who want to see a close battle all the way to the end of the season. There are still 13 races to come, so there is plenty of time for some more changes at the top, with Francesco Bagnaia trying to hold off the chasing pack and win his 2nd straight world championship. This weekend, the racers will be in the Netherlands for the Motul TT Assen. Are we going to see things tighten up some more after this one? Let’s take a look the MotoGP betting analysis at the current top 4.

Francesco Bagnaia
Last season, Bagnaia got off to a slow start before going on a tear that led to him winning his first World Championship. He is off to a fast start this season, though, and has already won 3 races to get to 160 points. He almost pulled out another win in Germany but came up just short, finishing 2nd in that one. There is certainly reason to believe that he can get back on top and take the checkered flag this weekend, as he won this race in the Netherlands last season. Playing him to win is certainly worth a gamble.
Jorge Martin
Martin was never really that far off the pace heading into last weekend, but he edged closer still with a win in Germany. He is now sitting on 144 points, just 16 off the pace being set by the defending champion. You have to say that the win wasn’t that surprising, as he was knocking on the door in the previous 2 races, finishing 2nd in each of those outings. Martin ended up finishing 7th in the Netherlands last season, but given his current form, I think we can expect better this time around.
Marco Bezzecchi
Bezzecchi is also hanging around among the leaders, picking up 126 points through the first 6 races. He has been a little off over the past couple of weeks, though, finishing 4th and 8th, respectively, which does not help his cause when you consider that the two racers ahead of him are picking up wins. This is not to say that Bezzecchi cannot stay with them, though, as he has shown the ability to win this season, taking the checkered flag in 2 races already. He might be a good pick here, at least for the top 3, as he was 2nd in the Netherlands in 2022.
Johann Zarco
What we are seeing from Zarco this season is similar to what he has delivered over the last couple of years in MotoGP. He is picking up points and putting in some decent runs, but he is not turning that into wins, which he really needs to do if he is to seriously challenge for the top spot. He does, though, come into this weekend on a run of 3 straight podium finishes, so a top 3 pick might not be a bad way to go. He did have a top 5 in the Netherlands a couple of years ago, although he was 14th in this race last season.
