Following his victory in Australia, Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team) has the opportunity to take his fourth MotoGP™ world title at the Malaysian Grand Prix - something that would bring his Championship win rate up to 80% over the premier class seasons he has contested so far since 2013. Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati Team) is now the only rider that can stop Marquez becoming World Champion:

If Dovizioso wins the race, then Marquez needs to finish second to become World Champion.
If Dovizioso finishes second, then Marquez needs to finish fourth or better to become World Champion.
If Dovizioso finishes third, then Marquez needs to finish eighth or better to become World Champion.
If Dovizioso finishes fourth, then Marquez needs to finish 11th or better to become World Champion.
If Dovizioso finishes fifth to seventh, then Marquez needs to finish no more than eight places further back to become World Champion.
If Dovizioso finishes lower than seventh, then Marquez will be the 2017 MotoGP™ World Champion.

Will he do it? Or will the ups and downs of 2017 see the fight roll on to the season finale? Find out on Sunday in the #MalaysianGP.
