The final results of the Motomutterers Fantasy Picks are below. I am amazed that eight members picked all of the top five riders in the final standings, and that the winner, Elisabeth Rightwrist, picked the top five in the correct order. By mutual agreement, last year's winner owes this year's winner a t-shirt. The website for submitting next year's picks is not up just yet. We can use the comment section of this post to reserve picks. No repeats.

Should MotoGP reconsider its emphasis on sprint races?
“When you win 10 grands prix and you are still 24 points behind, something is wrong.”Complaints about a format by a competitor who has failed to master that format must always be read with due caution.

But Francesco Bagnaia may just have a point when it comes to the influence of sprint races on the 2024 MotoGP title battle.To recap the situation heading into the final ...Keep reading

Editor's Blog: Barcelona Solidarity Round Up
Even though I haven't traveled to all of them, covering 20 rounds of MotoGP is taking its toll. On the last day of the 2024 MotoGP season, I have developed a very nasty head cold. The type that makes writing a thoughtful couple of thousand words reviewing the race on Sunday nigh on impossible. Hopefully an early night will fix this, and I can write tomorrow.

Sepang MotoGP Sunday Subscriber Notes: Why A Battle For The Ages Happened At The Wrong Time
Sepang MotoGP Sunday Subscriber Notes: Why A Battle For The Ages Happened At The Wrong Time
https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-3ZLvzds/0/L5PV4Dhg5HJK2qP5sxbD98FTWnDCwhKhTDMh6WHLR/L/i-3ZLvzds-L.jpg
At the Sepang International Circuit on Sunday, Pecco Bagnaia won the battle and Jorge Martin won the war. When the race restarted after the horrific crash between Turns 1 and 2, which miraculously saw everyone walk away relatively unharmed, Bagnaia and Martin unleashed three of the most ferocious laps we have seen in MotoGP this year. The reigning champion came out of that battle on top, and went on to win the race. But Jorge Martin finished second and took enough points to be able to clinch the title on Saturday in Barcelona.
You might say that with a 37 points still on the table, and Martin's lead a mere 24 points, that the championship is far from settled. If Pecco Bagnaia can get some riders in between himself and Jorge Martin on both Saturday and Sunday, then he might be able to claw back enough points to win the title. That is correct in theory, but the Malaysian GP demonstrated why that is more of an idle hope. While Pecco Bagnaia had the measure of Martin on Sunday, the pair of them are so much faster than the rest of the field that there is nobody there for Bagnaia to put between himself and Martin.

Paddock Pass Podcast Episode 451: On Another Planet At Sepang
There was no shortage of drama at Sepang on Sunday. An oppressive heat, the threat of rain, a terrifying crash at Turn 1 at the start, then 3 of the most hard-fought laps at the beginning of the restarted race before the passing ended and the race turned tedious.
Adam, David and Neil talk through why Pecco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin fought so hard in those opening laps, whether Martin has the title in the bag or if Bagnaia has a path to the championship, why passing is so difficult, especially at Sepang, why Turn 1 is so dangerous, and who can possibly help Bagnaia in Barcelona. Plus our ratings and winners and losers.
