There are just two more rounds to maximise your MotoGP™ Fantasy points haul!
The Malaysian GP is here, and the MotoGP™ World Championship comes sharply into focus with just two rounds to go in 2022. It’s the same in MotoGP™ Fantasy, with just two more chances for gamers to maximise their points hauls. We’re just days on from a classic Australian GP, so let’s look back at what happened at Phillip Island before we run the rule over the field ahead of the Sepang event.
Who made the Dream Team at Phillip Island?
If you had Alex Rins (Team Suzuki Ecstar) as one of your Gold Riders last weekend, well done. The Spaniard returned a massive 48-point haul thanks in part to his final-lap pass for victory. The win yielded 25 points, with another four for being second-fastest in Q1, a point for earning 10th on the grid in Q2, and 18 more on top of that for a net gain of nine positions in 27 laps – very productive, indeed. Enea Bastianini (Gresini Racing MotoGP™) might have missed out on a podium at The Island but in climbing from 15th on the grid to fifth at the chequered flag, he scored 32 points for MotoGP™ Fantasy gamers who selected the Italian as a Gold Rider.

Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team) generated the third-highest Fantasy points total with his finish of second from second on the grid – nine for being second-fastest in Q2 and 20 for the position he held at the chequered flag in Sunday’s Grand Prix. Brad Binder might be the ‘Sunday man’ but it was Red Bull KTM Factory Racing teammate Miguel Oliveira who gained a whopping 12 positions in the Australian GP and, if you had him as your Gold Rider, you scored 28 points. For those who had Marc Marquez and Oliveira as Silver Riders, they collected 14.5 points for the Honda rider and 14 for the KTM pilot.
