Good day racing fans! The MotoGP Vegas Online Betting Odds have arrived for this weekend’s race Down Under. It is time to look at what could occur late this Saturday night. The Grand Prix from Thailand degraded into chaos, producing a Fabio Quartararo DNF. Sadly, picking winners lately has been quite a challenge. For MotoGP Australia Bets, could this be Miller Time or Bagnaia’s weekend?
Today, we look at MotoGP options for this Australia event from the Phillip Island Circuit, expecting some weather issues (chilly weather with rain). So, can Francesco Bagnaia trim a few seconds late, or does Jack Miller go one more step up the podium? Finally, we examine some prime betting site online bonuses as October continues. Yes, the table lies below.
MotoGP 2022 - Australia GP | |
---|---|
Francesco Bagnaia | +250 |
Jack Miller | +333 |
Marc Marquez | +600 |
Fabio Quartararo | +600 |
Enea Bastianini | +750 |
Aleix Espargaro | +900 |
Things moved a little more after the Thailand two-step. The MotoGP Australia Bets again give us a few more options. There is a little added intrigue when we consider the point standings. Yes, Francesco Bagnaia has almost caught Fabio Quartararo. The two riders are a mere two points apart. The Ducati rider from Italy was a mere two seconds from taking the outright world title leader.
This is almost becoming an event-by-event problem where one of the contenders inevitably makes a poor decision and DNFs. Honestly, it would be nice to see this decided on the circuit. Hopefully, the chilly, rainy weather does not cause too many issues late Saturday night.
Furthermore, Australia could turn into another one of those races of attrition. Quartararo keeps lacking the speed on the Yamaha. Marc Marquez (+600) seems to be getting more consistent on the bike each event. Does Bagnaia hold back as he did in Thailand? The Italian probably could have nabbed second place from Jack Miller but backed off on the final lap. Can some of those riders a little of the top tier provide a nice profit again?
Thailand reinforced the theory about playing it safe for Australia. Our original plan at Vegas Sports Betting was to use some tiny wagers on riders up and down the ladder because of track conditions. Two podium spots (2nd and 3rd) went to riders who were the favorite and second-best on the list (Bagnaia and Miller).
This picture comes to us Thursday morning Eastern Time. Race day temperatures are around 50-55 degrees, and the potential for varying intensities of rain and cool breezes. The track is underwater which could impact practice and even qualifying. It will be interesting to see what eventually happens on Friday. Race officials are trying to address the problem. The 12-turn 2.76-mile course had the worst water right around the start-finish line and straightaway.
It makes sense to choose Jack Miller on his home track for MotoGP Australia Bets? The Ducati rider keeps getting better and better in these rainy conditions. If not for a few amazing maneuvers by Miguel Oliveira (+2800) two weeks ago, Miller would have won the race in Thailand. His bike was faster than Oliveira’s, but Miller simply ran out of time. Another half a lap, and Miller would have made the pass.
The Australian currency has seen some shortening numbers around +400 to +500. Miller qualifies in the wet among the best on the circuit. It is partially why he has moved from +400 to +333. There exists a home-circuit advantage for the rider, and he expects to use it depending on how practice and qualifying go (or if it does).
Those results from Thailand moved Miller up to fifth in the points standings and have him just 22 points behind Enea Bastianini for fourth place. He is also just one point behind Enea Bastianini for fourth. There are enough races left for the Australian to move up to third. After all, Aleix Espargaro is just 20 points ahead of Miller.
At VegasBetting, sometimes taking the “homer pick” regarding wagers and scenarios is good. The rider carries a solid track record, especially in changeable rainy conditions. Suppose the weather stays wetter; that puts him in a great position for this race to win. Jack Miller is an excellent MotoGP Australian Bets choice with the race looming.
For MotoGP Australia Bets, Francesco Bagnaia may be worth tossing a few dollars on. The Italian rider came close to winning last week in less-than-ideal conditions. Usually, the top Ducati rider has issues with wet tires and tracks. For once, Bagnaia showed smarts and restraint. Those skills will be tested late Saturday night as the weather is supposed to be inclement again.
This MotoGP rider could not catch Jack Miller for second place in Thailand. He ended up 1.25 seconds behind the Australian but was turning in some fast laps late in the race. Again, time just was not quite there for Bagnaia. It happens. Bagnaia keeps chipping away at the world title lead, and that is why the future numbers have blown out to -200 on some sites. His race-by-race value is still improving.
The dilemma with Bagnaia and any rider for this race depends on the conditions. Can race organizers get the track ready for racing? What will the circuit look like? That being said, there is a feeling of inevitability. Francesco Bagnaia just has a faster bike than Fabio Quartararo. It makes the Italian a contender at an attractive number.
Take Jack Miller in the “wet” for the MotoGP this weekend.
