There’s been an old-school look to the MotoGP outcomes in recent races, and oddsmakers are anticipating that trend to be continuing in this week’s Gran Premio Pramac dell’Emilia-Romagna.
While eight-time series champion Marc Marquez won the past two races, it’s defending MotoGP champion Francesco Bagnaia who vaulted past Jorge Martin and back into favored staus to win the overall series title for the 2024 season. He’s now the -175 odds-on chalk to cop his third successive MotoGP crown in MotoGP futures.
It’s also Bagnaia who is being set as the +125 betting favorite to win the Emilia Romagna GP. Just two weeks ago, he was second to Marquez in the San Marino Grand Prix over this same circuit.
Will familiarity breed success for Bagnaia? Or will Marquez keep on rolling? Let’s check out the latest MotoGP online betting odds for this race:

Bagnaia certainly is a big fan of the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli course. He’s won the San Marino Gand Prix over this circuit in 2021 and 2022 to go with his second-place finish in 2024.
This will be his 100th career MotoGP start and on a course in his Italian homeland. You have to think he’ll be motivated to deliver a victorious performance.
There’s been plenty of exciting news of late in the Marquez camp. His back-to-back wins were his first time atop the podium since 2021. Suddenly, Marquez has put himself in the conversation for the season’s title. In the past two races, he’s gained 25 points on series leader Jorge Martín and 37 on Bagnaia. His odds of winning the MotoGP title have shortened to +400. Marquez is the third choice in this betting market.
On top of that, there was the announcement that next season, Marquez will be joining Bagnaia on the Ducati Lenovo team. He’ll be replacing Enea Bastianini as the second rider. This season, he’s been riding a 2023 Ducati Desmosedici for Gresini Racing.
The consistency and steadiness that has proven to be the trademark of Martin’s 2024 MotoGP season came to a crashing halt at San Marino. Forced to the pits twice during the race, the Spanish rider for Prima Pramac Racing wound up a lap down. He would finish in 15th place.
It ended a run of nine races in a row in which Martin found himself ascending to the podium. That run of success was including three wins, five seconds and a third. Martin had finished second three races in sucession prior to his San Marino GP debacle.
Still, he’s clinging to a seven-point lead over two-time defending champion Bagnaia in the season championship table. However, he’s now the second betting choice to win the title at odds of +250. Martin does show some career success on the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli. He won the San Marino Grand Prix in 2023.
Much like his countryman Bagnaia, Bastianini has carried on a torrid love affair with the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli. He’s never failed to earn a podium finish in three MotoGP starts on this course.
He was third in this year’s San Marino Grand Prix. That was added to a second-place finish in 2022 and another third-place showing in 2021. He’s running out of races on the dominant factory Ducatis, however. Next season, Bastianini is moving to the factory Aprilias He signed with Red Bull KTM Tech3 for 2025.
Sunday’s race could prove to be an historic occasion for MotoGP Racing. Ducati is seeking its 100th win on the circuit and it just so happens that all of the top contenders in this race are Ducati riders.
Both Bagnaia and Bastianini will be looking to draw upon their history of success on this circuit to bring them this milestone victory on their homeland track. Marquez will be looking to win three races in a row for the first time since 2019.
However, if there’s anyone who needs a big bounceback performance, it’s Martin. Last race was the exception to the rule for the extremely consistent Spaniard. He’d gone five races since his last win. Martin will be fired up to bring Ducati their milestone triumph and pip the Italian riders right in their own backyard.
