Win in Valencia, but on condition:
The second finish, and Jorge Martin failed to score points.
If two or more MotoGP riders have the same final points in the standings, the determination of world champions is made based on the following criteria, sequentially:
The number of racers' wins with the highest number of main race wins (Grand Prix) will be declared champions.
The number of Second, Third, and Next Positions If the number of wins is the same, the calculation will be continued with the number of second positions, then the third position, and so on until there are superior racers.
The results in the Last Race If all the previous criteria remained the same, the results of the final race of the season will be the determinant of the champion.
This rule aims to ensure that drivers who appear more consistent in the front position throughout the season get the advantage.
Racing in Valencia is confirmed to be the pinnacle of the battle this season with all eyes focused on the two Ducati riders who fight until the end line
