More contenders emerging late in the season is pretty typical for MotoGP. Nothing shocking.

The sprint crash still leaves a question mark over his consistency.

How much does a crash like that actually cost points-wise over a season?

His own teammate Ogura is still ahead of him in the standings — sort that out first.

78 points in 3 races, a 26-point average — 10 more than Martin, 18 more than Marquez. Still, 56 points is a big gap to close.
