Against Bezzecchi, the required margin could be 75 points depending on their results and the eventual victories count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ducati rider enters Qatar with 399 points, ahead of Mart\u00edn on 355 and Bezzecchi on 332.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mart\u00edn&#8217;s participation remains uncertain after <a href=\"https:\/\/grandepremio.com\/en\/motogp\/aprilia-explains-jorge-martins-malaysian-motogp-withdrawal-and-targets-qatar-return\/\">Aprilia confirmed that his injury prevented him from braking safely at Sepang<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Qatar event also remains under scrutiny because of regional security concerns, although organisers have maintained their intention to proceed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>GRANDE PR\u00caMIO<\/strong> is following the 2026 MotoGP World Championship, with breaking news, full coverage and real-time updates in its <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/grandepremio.com\/en\/motogp\/\">MotoGP section<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marc M\u00e1rquez extended his championship lead with victory at Sepang, while Aprilia maintained control of the Teams&#8217; Championship and Ducati moved eight points clear in the Constructors&#8217; standings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1020319968,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"42wp_featured_image_caption":"Marc M\u00e1rquez","42wp_featured_image_credits":"Michelin","42wp_featured_video":"","42wp_ai_content_disclaimer":"","42wp_is_ai_content":false,"42wp_featured_image_hidden":false,"42wp_authors_list":[{"id":267,"location":""}],"footnotes":"","42wp_hide_from_automatic":false,"42wp_breaking_news":false},"categories":[38],"tags":[964,104,315,175],"42wp_author":[267],"class_list":["post-4757","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-motogp","tag-malaysian-grand-prix","tag-marc-marquez","tag-motogp-2026","tag-motogp-standings","42wp_author-guilherme-bloisi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/grandepremio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4757","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/grandepremio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/grandepremio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grandepremio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grandepremio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4757"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/grandepremio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4757\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4758,"href":"https:\/\/grandepremio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4757\/revisions\/4758"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grandepremio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1020319968"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/grandepremio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4757"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grandepremio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4757"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grandepremio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4757"},{"taxonomy":"42wp_author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grandepremio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/42wp_author?post=4757"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
