JAKARTA - Monster Yamaha Racing MotoGP racer, Fabio Quartararo, will start the race at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit, Valencia, from fourth position. From that position he will pursue a miracle to be able to defend the title.

This race in Valencia will be decisive. Francesco Bagnaia, who now leads the standings with 258 points, will start the race from eighth position.

This position is actually not too bad for Bagnaia. The reason is, he only needs to finish in 14th position to be able to seal his first MotoGP world title.

While Quartararo needs to win in this decisive race. The reason, he is 23 points adrift of the leader of the standings.

Even if he wins, the French racer will have to face Bagnaia unfortunately by winning just one point or even without points.

Meanwhile, the Valencia MotoGP pole position was won by Pramac Ducati rider Jorge Martin. He wants his first win of the season, and if he wins Sunday's race Bagnaia will automatically become world champion.
