Summary

- Martin's fitness is uncertain after a hand injury in Australia.
- Marquez has won seven of the last 12 grands prix races.
Marc Marquez is positioned to secure his 10th world title, and eighth in MotoGP, with three rounds remaining in Qatar, Portugal, and Valencia. After a difficult start to the season, including foot and shoulder injuries, Marquez has staged a remarkable comeback. He has won seven of the last 12 grands prix, including five perfect weekends. His current lead is 44 points over Jorge Martin and 67 over Marco Bezzecchi.
To clinch the title in Qatar, Marquez must outscore Martin by 30 points. While Martin's fitness is uncertain due to a hand injury sustained in the Australian GP sprint, his potential absence or limited capacity could significantly influence the championship outcome. Marquez, however, remains cautious, emphasizing the need to secure the title rather than relying on opponents' setbacks.
