Francesco Bagnaia could clinch his maiden MotoGP title in Malaysia following a major twist in the championship picture in Australia, where a crash for pre-weekend standings leader Fabio Quartararo turned the battle in the Ducati rider's favour.
The Italian goes into the race with a 14-point advantage in the standings over Quartararo, and with only 50 available across the final two races in Malaysia and Valencia, he is now considered by many to be the favourite for the title.
