Favorites
Francesco Bagnaia (+120)
To start with, our favorite is Aragon Grand Prix runner-up Francesco Bagnaia. This rider also holds the second position in the MotoGP Drivers’ Championship and has been the champion of 6 of the last 10 races. He has a total of 201 points and was also the poleman in the last race in Spain.
Fabio Quartararo (+445)
In second place, we have the current championship leader, Fabio Quartararo. Although this driver could not complete the last race due to an accident, he has won 3 Grand Prix and in 4 others he has finished second, including the Austrian Grand Prix.
He currently has 211 points, not so far behind Francesco Bagnaia. Therefore, if he wants to increase his gap, he must perform very well at the Japanese Grand Prix.
Enea Bastianini (+500)
Enea Bastianini is the current Aragon Grand Prix champion; therefore, we believe he has every chance for the Japanese GP. In addition to Spain, he has been crowned on three other occasions this season and came in second place at the San Marino Grand Prix.
Sleeper Picks
Aleix Espargaró (+600)
Aleix Espargaró is our first sleeper pick. This rider finished third in Aragon for a total of 5 third places. As if that were not enough, he is also in third place in the Drivers’ Championship and is the one who has contested the most podiums along with our first two favorites.
Marc Márquez (+1050)
However, Marc Márquez has had a difficult season marked by a shoulder injury that forced him to withdraw from the Aragon GP and has caused him to miss the MotoGP calendar from the Catalan GP to the San Marino GP. However, despite his injury, he is an aggressive and forceful rider who has the power to destabilize and outmaneuver his opponents.
Dark Horse
Johann Zarco (+1400)
Finally, our dark horse is the Frenchman Johann Zarco, the Frenchman who, although he has not had the best results in recent races, is a powerful contender who is fast approaching his first victory of the season. This is why we believe it has great potential for the Japanese GP.

JefeBet Prediction
For all these reasons, the rider with the best results and chances of winning is the Italian Francesco Bagnaia. It is undeniable how dominant it has been since May and its results are tangible. That is why he is so close to the championship lead and will surely overtake the others at the next Grand Prix in Japan.
