The basic point system works on the basis that points are awarded for riders finishing 1st to 15th in a race. The rider finishing first is awarded 25 points with the number of points filtering down to 15th position.

For each race there are practice sessions, qualifying sessions and the actual race session.

The best Moto GP betting approach to take is to go with the experience over the first one or two weeks of the season. Qatar and Spain generally allow punters to see which of the tams has the best or most improved bike and which of the big guns is looking in the best form for the long season ahead.
There are only a couple of markets where the long term Moto GP betting approach is preferable such as drivers title, constructors title, accumulation of points and number of wins. There are other markets such as race winner, race position, fastest lap which all provide good value on a race to race basis.
