2022 MotoGP Standings
Following a dramatic Aragon MotoGP which saw championship leader Fabio Quartararo out after contact with Marc Marquez on lap one, Motegi will play host to the second Grand Prix of the current triple-header.Last held in 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Japanese MotoGP will see Ducati arrive as the firm favourites after securing yet another 1-2 in Aragon.While it was Enea Bastianini and not Francesco Bagnaia who got the better of their last lap tussle, the latter has closed to within 10 points in the 2022 MotoGP World Championship Standings. Marquez is the last rider to win the Japanese MotoGP after beating Quartararo and Andrea Dovizioso in 2019. Another rider who gained valuable points back on Quartararo in Aragon was Aleix Espargaro, with the Aprilia rider now just 17 points away from the series lead.The Aprilia rider, who was without a podium since Mugello, claimed third place in Aragon after getting the better of Brad Binder and Jack Miller during the closing stages.Joan Mir will once again be out of action after withdrawing from the Aragon MotoGP weekend with a persistent right ankle injury. Kazuki Watanabe or official test rider Sylvain Guintoli are the riders in contention to replace the Spaniard.
