MotoGP championship leader Jorge Martin believes Francesco Bagnaia is still the favourite for the 2024 title despite trailing the Spaniard by 30 points after the first three rounds.
Martin’s 100% podium-finish record in 2024 came to an end last Sunday at the Americas Grand Prix when he was overtaken for third by Ducati’s Enea Bastianini on the penultimate lap. While the Pramac rider’s lead was cut, he still holds a 21-point lead over Bastianini heading to next week’s Spanish Grand Prix. Reigning double world champion Bagnaia won the Qatar GP but missed the sprint podium in Portugal due to a mistake while leading before a collision took him out of that GP.

We have Marc , we have even Pedro , who is really, really good and constant. “So, we never know. Enea was super strong all weekend. The important thing is we are fast everywhere, and we need to be focused on that.
