How would the MotoGP title race look if Marc Marquez hadn't missed the French and Catalan GPs?

If Marc had raced in the Catalan GP, he would have witnessed Alex’s near miss firsthand, and I doubt he would have done either of the restarts. The French GP? Depends. Would he be Injured or not? Injured, 6 points. Not injured, he’d be celebrating his tenth this weekend.

If Marc was fully fit and without his nerve damage for Barcelona and Le Mans, his and Martin’s points tallies might be the other way round. Even if he was fit all year, Aprilia would be right there

Would maybe suggest he would have been in contention for the win in Barcelona due to the pace of the other Ducatis that day. I doubt he would have been able to challenge Martin at Le Mans, however.

Marquez has averaged about 22 points per round this season, if that's any indication. If that screw hadn't come loose from his last operation, the championship would look very different

Marc Marquez would have likely taken points in the French GP and the Catalan GP, but he would not have won either race as he would have still been plagued by the screws in his shoulder pressing against the radial nerve. Marc only intended to have the surgery to remove the screws after the Catalan GP.
