A win in the Malaysian Grand Prix and second in the Sprint Race leave Marc Marquez on the brink of MotoGP title glory.
Marquez collected 34 points, just short of the weekend maximum, but enough to give him his first match points next time out in Qatar.
With Jorge Martin withdrawing from the weekend and Marco Bezzecchi unable to impress, Marquez extends his advantage to 44 points over the former and 67 over the latter.
That means next time out in Lusail Marquez could become a 10-time world champion should he collect 30 points more than Martin and eight more than Bezzecchi.
Martin may not take part in the Qatar race as he continues to recover from a broken wrist.
A tenth world title would be Marquez's eighth in the premier class, surpassing the record of long-time rival Valentino Rossi.
That would move him to third on the all-time list, and joint-first for premier class titles with Giacomo Agostini.
