marquez or dovisiozo who became world champion? this is the scenario

Marc Marquez and Andrea Dovizioso bring the competition to become MotoGP world champion up to the last series. Marquez is far superior, but anything can happen in Valencia.

After Dovi champion in Malaysia and Marquez can only finish fourth, the competition to become world champion MotoGP 2017 will be completed at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo, Valencia.

Marquez still tops the standings with 282 points, 21 points ahead of Dovi who is in second position. The condition is obviously very beneficial to the Honda rider, but the mirror in the results of the race in Malaysia all things can actually happen.

From mathematical calculation, Dovizioso's chance to become world champion is still open. In order to keep the odds open Dovi must be a champion in the race in Valencia on Sunday (11/11/2017) night local time.

But that does not automatically give Dovi the title. Assuming Dovi will collect 286 points (if so champion), that means Marquez just have to finish in 11th position. With an additional five points from the results of the 11th, Marquez will have 287 points.

If Marquez finishes 12th, then he and Dovi have 286 points. In this scenario, Dovi will be the champion because he has more wins (7: 6).

Scenario world champion in Valencia:

• Marquez will become world champion with at least finish in 11th place.

• Marquez could be a champion even though he can not point, with Dovizioso failing to win the record.

• If Marquez finishes 12th and Dovizioso becomes champion, then Dovi will be world champion. The second point of the same rider 286, but Dovi winning victory.

• Dovizioso become world champion if he finish top and Marquez finish the race outside the big 11.
