Six riders, eighty points
The top six are covered by fifty-nine points with nine rounds to run after today. Aprilia hold first and second through Martin and Bezzecchi, which makes the leadership fight an internal one, and Trackhouse have two riders in the top six.
Ai Ogura in fourth on 203 is the season's structural surprise. He took his first premier-class win earlier in the year at the Dutch Grand Prix, and has stayed in contention since.
What is left
Aragon is round thirteen of twenty-two. A sprint and a Grand Prix at each remaining round means a maximum of 333 points still available, which is more than the gap from first to tenth. The championship is not close to settled.
