Here are five reasons a move from Valencia to Barcelona for the MotoGP finale could affect Pecco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin’s title fight
The Barcelona circuit has been confirmed as the replacement venue for the Valencia finale in the 2024 MotoGP season, due to the flooding in Valencia. The race will be called the Motul Solidarity Grand Prix of Barcelona, with initiatives to support Valencia’s relief efforts. The unique characteristics of the Barcelona track may impact the championship battle, where Jorge Martin currently leads Pecco Bagnaia by 24 points. Bagnaia has emphasized the tricky nature of the Barcelona track, with its low-grip surface posing challenges. Despite the risks of mistakes due to the track conditions, Martin might benefit from the larger gaps between competitors on race day. Both riders will aim for a strong performance in the final round, with Martin looking to secure the title and Bagnaia aiming to close the gap.
