Now, the 2023 MotoGP season heads into the final quarter of the season this weekend. Can Francesco Bagnaia do it one more time very late on Saturday night for those in the United States? Okay, let’s get down under and speed into these picks for the MotoGP Australian GP Bets.
So, yes, the table changed quite a bit heading into Friday morning. It was odd to see Francesco Bagnaia go from almost a co-favorite of sorts to as long as +500 on Bovada. Expect even more movement after practice, qualifying, and the Saturday Sprint. Also, take on some more online betting site bonuses, as this October weekend should be exciting. Here are some MotoGP Betting odds:

The 2023 MotoGP Australian GP Bets ponder event number 16 for the series. The course itself expects the usual for Phillip Island. It is a course that often rewards the most risky racers. Last year, the Spanish riders tended to fare better across several teams. Honestly, this is a 12-turn track over 4.445 kilometers. A few simple straightaways set up some decent passing turns as well, so let’s get ready.
With a few technical areas, riders do have to be aware, especially if any rainy conditions roll in. One of the biggest takeaways from this track is the varying speeds. The top five last year all were just under 88 seconds and were aided by a bit of a tailwind. Again, breezy but increasingly drier conditions are expected for the race itself. The sprint and qualifying could be a different story.
Be aware of any weather changes because last year saw Francesco Bagnaia take advantage of the wind and stay upright. It paved the way for him to finish third when maybe he should not have finished in the top five. Could that ingenuity lead to an even better result?
So, Francesco Bagnaia goes way to the plus! Vegas Sports Betting looks at a few riders, including the defending World Champion. Suddenly, few pundits and experts believe in the Ducati Italian rider. With the MotoGP Australian GP Bets, a bettor needs as much updated information as humanly possible. When Bagnaia flipped from as low as +125 all the way to +500, that turned some heads.
The problem with Australia is the track gets quite technical in spots. Look at what happened above as a golden example. Yes, the track gets dangerous quickly. Worse, if drivers are not paying attention, accidents so easily occur. This is not a track you want to crash on. Period! Simply, it is more than needing a head on a swivel. Riders seemingly need eyes in the back of their head.
At Vegas Sports Betting, the 16th race of this 2023 season carries its own set of dangers. These Grand Prix numbers for longer shots are interesting. However, the numbers among the favorites are also very unexpected. Last year, Bagnaia set a few fastest laps but could not edge his way to the front at the very end. Seven drivers finished a second off from Alex Rins. Rins stunned many and won in Australia.
Now, the last time we saw Bagnaia in the +400 to +500 range like this was last season before his late run. The Italian holds a scant 18-point lead on Jorge Martin for the World Championship lead. Bagnaia can come out of nowhere.
2023 MotoGP Australian GP Bets go in other directions for this weekend. One of the big trends is all those Spanish drivers to choose from. Even Alex Rins is a super long shot at +8000. It’s not likely, but that is one fun rider to consider for the number alone. Besides that, there is the favorite Jorge Martin. What did Martin learn from last week in Indonesia?
We know Martin can easily run 88 to 90-second laps with ease. The rider can get down into the 87.5 to 88-second range. His three-race run of 106 points buoyed a brief world title lead change last week. Then, Bagnaia triumphed and got his lead back. Martin is the current favorite at +150 on BetOnline. Bovada updated to +125 and may trend closer to Even as late Saturday night approaches.
Understandably, it is early in the free practice process. There are three more sessions before we even hit qualifying. Now, Maverick Vinales and even the Marquez Brothers looked pretty good early on with tests and free practices. There were several other close calls, too. Ducati still possesses the fastest bikes in Phillip Island for now. However, Honda and Red Bull have been as quick at times.
Again, early dominance means little here but last year, Martin kept that momentum right on throughout the week. He found a way to hold everyone off. Can he do it again? It does seem he has a better chance than riders like Vinales, Marquez, and even Brad Binder (if it rains).
2023 MotoGP Australian GP Bets wonder how about any other riders to consider. We mentioned Rins at +8000 on Bovada. Brad Binder is at +1200 if the weather should go downhill. Also, Augusto Fernandez may be an intriguing possibility at +5000. Again, expect the unexpected!
Everything moves and often crazily as the sessions roll on BetOnline. It will be something to see how the Marquez brothers do once qualifying begins.
That +1000 number appears not so nuts for Marc Marquez. But, again, the +8000 for Rins is something else.
Take Bagnaia for seven in Australia. It has more value than ever.
