The MotoGP World Championship is heading for the fourth and final round of the 2022 Asian tour : the Malaysian Grand Prix. Like the three races already held (Japan, Thailand and Australia), this event has not been held since 2019 , due to the restrictions derived from the pandemic in 2020 and 2021.
The general comes to Sepang red hot, with Pecco Bagnaia leading the general for the first time all year. Fabio Quartararo is coming off two zeros in Buriram and Phillip Island, so he will be looking forward to cutting points with the Italian. A similar situation is experienced by Aleix Espargaró, on the edge of a knife if he wants to keep his hopes of being champion alive.
Thus, Quartararo arrives in Malaysia 14 points behind Bagnaia, while Espargaró does so at 27. These figures would make Pecco the champion if he manages to go home with at least 25 points ahead of both (that is, he would need to add 11 points more than Fabio and prevent Aleix from cutting more than two).

Sepang circuit, venue for the 2022 MotoGP Malaysian GP
The Sepang track, close to Kuala Lumpur, landed on the MotoGP calendar for the first time in 1999 and since then it has hosted 21 editions of a Malaysian Grand Prix, which is already one of the fixtures on the calendar, although in 2020 and 2021 it was low due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

How and where to watch the 2022 MotoGP Malaysian GP in Sepang
To watch the Malaysian MotoGP GP in Spain, like the rest of the world championship, the only legal option is through DAZN , the owner of the rights, through the platform itself or with the Movistar + sports package, which they offer the same service.
But if you don’t want that option, in Spain you can access the Videopass , the official MotoGP service where you can follow all the races live and direct. The price of the Videopass is €139.99 per year, although its content is exclusively in English.
Of course, we can’t stop recommending our website, Motorsport.com, as we’ll have several journalists on the circuit to tell you first-hand everything that happens in Malaysia.
