Looking at the handlebars, there are a lot of buttons. I imagine one is for the start but I curious if there is a lot of other on the fly adjustments are going on during the race? In F1 they seem to be hitting a lot of the buttons during a lap.

Newbie to Motogp and I was wondering what determine when the rider is done for after a crash.

Can he join if the bike stopped but he pushed it to start? Can the corner workers help push the bike?

also a young fabio, could potentially see two MotoGP world champions from this pic

Hey guys, first ever analysis I've posted on here - hope you like it! If anyone wants the raw data to this just PM me, happy to share it.

Pecco winning 10 races and still being 24 points behind with one race to go is pretty much unheard of in MotoGP. The theory circulating is that Pecco is behind in the championship because of sprints, which is undeniable, but I’m not sure it tells the whole story. 

I dug deeper into the performance of Pecco and Martin through this championship by looking at weekends at a whole, rather than breaking down points by sprints and main races. This means I will see the total number of points attained at a race weekend, and comparing their numbers.

Points by Round

There’s a lot going on in this chart, but there were two things that immediately jumped out to me - how consistent Martin’s been collecting points, and those two awful weekends for Pecco in Portugal and Aragon, when he crashed out of the main races.

The riders’ average points confirm the consistency difference:

• Martin has an average of 25.5 points per round, with a standard deviation of 7.4.
• Bagnaia averages 24.3 points per round, but with a higher standard deviation of 10.9.

Martin’s lower standard deviation reflects more consistent performance, while Bagnaia's higher standard deviation indicates greater volatility. Bagnaia’s two main races with fewer than 10 points are particularly impactful, as Martin avoided such low scores.

Points Frequency Analysis

I think this chart tells the story of the season:

• Bagnaia has four rounds with a perfect 37 points (sprint and main race wins), whereas Martin has just one perfect round. This shows Bagnaia’s capability for high scores but also reveals that he has not matched Martin’s steadiness.
• Martin, on the other hand, has 10 rounds scoring 20-29 points, while Bagnaia has two rounds with only 0-9 points. This stability has allowed Martin to stay competitive even without multiple perfect rounds.

Point Swings and Critical Moments

The analysis of point swings highlights critical areas where Martin has gained ground:

• Both riders had five rounds with swings of 10+ points in their favor. However, Martin’s advantage includes two rounds with 20+ point swings, while Bagnaia had no points swings above 20 points.
• When Bagnaia outscored Martin, his average margin was 10.6 points per round, but Martin’s average when outscoring Bagnaia was 14.4 points.
• Overall, Bagnaia’s perfect rounds resulted in 48 points taken from Martin, whereas Martin accumulated 54 points over Bagnaia during critical rounds, including the race affected by the crash with the Marquez brothers.

Key Insights

• Martin's Damage Limitation: Martin has been able to limit the damage in terms of total points lost when he had his falls in Jerez, Sachsenring, Mugello sprint and Indonesia sprint. He lost 57 points to Pecco across those 4 weekends.
• Pecco's weekends in Aragon & Portugal: Pecco’s incidents with the Marquez brothers alone cost him 54 points to Martin and practically matches the points Jorge lost when he fell. He had a further 6 falls aside that also cost him many points.
• Pecco cannot rely on sprints: Pecco’s race performance is more critical, so when he falls in the race, it typically means he’s had a much worse weekend
• Martin's Consistency: Martin’s consistency this year and ability to settle for second has meant Pecco didn’t have the cushion he had last year
