The top 10 MotoGP riders of 2018
The majority of the MotoGP field might have had stand-out moments in 2018, but how did the contenders compare across the campaign?
While the 2018 MotoGP season threw up no shortage of thrilling races, it failed to live up to its billing when it came to the championship fight - not helped by the sheer brilliance of the rider that won it, and the errors made by his rivals, whether they were made on the track or away from it.
What's more, although the gap between first and last on the grid continued to decrease, for a decent chunk of the season there was an unusual sense of inevitability that race wins would be fought between only three riders - at least until Yamaha's late-season resurgence.
