The championship took a big turn at Mugello last weekend when Yamaha Fabio Quartararo raced from pole position to victory and benefited from an early break for Ducati rival Francesco Bagnaia.
Yamaha and Ducati are expected to battle it out again for victory at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, a track where the two manufacturers have had many successes over the past five years.
Judging by the form in Italy, Alex Rins’ Suzukis and reigning champion Joan Mir could also be in the fight, while KTM could potentially continue their promotion at the Spanish venue.
It would also be interesting to see how the recovering Marc Marquez is doing in his home country after crashing in the previous two races.
Honda is currently only three points ahead of Aprilia in fifth place in the manufacturers’ championship after a brilliant start to the year, with Takaaki Nakagami with fourth place in Jerez being the brand’s best result to date.
