Marc Marquez leads the 2024 MotoGP championship with 365 points, two points ahead of Jorge Martin after the Australia Grand Prix, where Martin suffered a broken wrist in a 211km/h crash. Martin, now trailing by 10 points, aims to compete in the Malaysia Grand Prix despite the injury, with the fracture's recommended healing time being five weeks. He has been cleared for Free Practice 1 but remains uncertain about his competitiveness. Marquez, who rides for Ducati, extended his contract for two years and discussed his future, estimating a 70 percent chance of retiring within three years and a 30 percent chance of continuing. He stated that winning the 2025 championship changed his perspective on retirement. Brad Binder, with 108 points, is tied with Luca Marini and aims to improve his standing in the upcoming races. The Malaysia Grand Prix is the fourth-last round of the season. Both sprint and main races are scheduled for 9am on Saturday and Sunday respectively.
