How to watch the MotoGP Valencia live and free in Australia
Italy's Francesco Bagnaia's charge to the MotoGP title is almost complete as we head to Valencia.
Heading into the final race of the season, the Valencia MotoGP, Francesco Bagnaia's claim on the title is almost in the book save for a calamity.
Bagnaia has dominated the second half of this MotoGP season, picking up points at will and finally sweeping past defending champion Fabio Quartararo.
The Italian Bagnaia leads by 23 points with a maximum of 25 on offer for the winner.
Effectively, Quartararo would need to win the race and have his rival go near pointless to secure back-to-back crowns.
When is the Valencia MotoGP?
The Grand Prix of Valencia will be held at Circuit de la Comunitat Valenciana Ricardo Tormo in Spain from Friday 4 November until Sunday 6 November.
The main race kicks off on Sunday 6 November at 11:30pm AEDT.

Stream Valencia MotoGP on Foxtel Now
Like Kayo, Foxtel iQ broadcasts every round of the MotoGP Championship live, including the practice and qualifying sessions as well as the race itself.
You'll need a Foxtel pay TV subscription and the Sports HD pack is $74 a month with no lock-in contract.
It's more expensive than Kayo Sports if you only want access to sports content, but you do get access to entertainment.
Another option for those eager to keep up with everything MotoGP-related is Foxtel Now, the pay TV giant's live streaming platform.
It enables you to watch Foxtel content live and on-demand, so it may be a worthy alternative to the traditional pay TV subscription.
To watch MotoGP live, you will need to add the Sport pack to the base Essential pack with a standard cost of $54 a month, but you get access to a lot of great non-sport content as well.
However, you don't get the user interface or viewing features of Kayo.
Foxtel Now offers new subscribers a 10-day free trial, providing another way to watch the Valencia MotoGP at no cost.
MotoGP Valencia race preview
A seventh win of the season in Malaysia last race has all but locked away the title for Italy's Francesco Bagnaia.
To relinquish the crown, he would need to finish worse than 14th in this race with Quartararo winning, something he has done only 3 times this season for comparison.
Aleix Espargaró appeared to have 3rd placed locked away a few weeks ago but is now under the pump from Enea Bastianini with the gap at just 1 point.
Aussie Jack Miller sits 5th, having finished the season strongly in the last couple of months.
Miller would love to push his points beyond 200 (now 189) and we think he can do that.
But at the top of the tree, the title will be heading to Italy.
