The♉ 2021 MotoGP titleܫ could be decided in this weekend's second and final visit of the year to Misano.

Fabio Quartararo arrives with a 52-point lead over Francesco Bagnaia and will be crowned champion on Sunday if he can mainta💧in an advantage of at least 50-points on Sunday.

Bagnaia won September's first Misano contest, but only after withstanding a lat�💯�e charge by Quartararo as rookie Enea Bastianini surprised by completing the podium on a 2019-spec Ducati.

Whatever the outcome on Sunday, the chequered flag will mark the end of an era for nine-time world champion Valentino Rossi, who is competing in his final h🐭ome race before retirement.

Countryman Danilo Petrucci is also be bid✱ding farewell to the home Italian fans, before heading off-road in 2022, while returning triple title runner-up Andrea Dovizioso will be keen to measure his progress as he returns to the scene of last month's Petronas Yamaha debut.

After a nightmare weekend in COTA, Aleix Espargaro will be looking to revive his pace-setting Misano test form in Aprilia's home event, which 🏅will also see Mave💫rick Vinales back on track with the RS-GP.

Marc Marquez will arrive on a high from his and Honda's second victory o🏅f the season in Au🌠stin, but a podium this weekend would be his first on a clockwise track since last July's right-arm injuries.

Tyre choice will be the same as at the previous Misano round but the weather is expected to be colder, with rain forecaᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚst for Friday and Saturday.
