How would the MotoGP standings look like this year if there were no sprint races? Take a look:
As the above results show, the top three in the championship are fairly close together before a big jump of 44 points to find fourth-placed Brad Binder.
A crash while running second in the Argentina GP, a tumble while leading the Americas GP and a collision while fighting for third with Aprilia’s Maverick Vinales in the French GP led to Bagnaia losing a potential 61 points. Bagnaia has been the strongest sprint rider in 2023, winning three of them and finishing on the podium in all but one – with 74 of his total 194 points haul courtesy of sprint results.
This would drop him to sixth in the standings behind Johann Zarco and Luca Marini based on pre-2023 rules.Sprints have made little difference to Fabio Quartararo’s 2023 season, with the Yamaha rider scoring 56 of his total 64 points this year in grands prix. Quartararo has scored just eight points on Saturdays in 2023, with a third at Assen his best sprint result.
