Marc Marquez dominated the Aragon Grand Prix from start to finish. The factory Ducati rider delivered a perfect weekend, taking pole position, a sprint victory, and dominating on Sunday. Behind him were his brother Alex Marquez, and finally, Pecco Bagnaia. For Carlo Pernat, a well-known paddock consultant, this performance confirmed what many suspected: Marquez is on another planet.
« The Grand Prix of Aragon can be summed up in three formulas: Marquez against all, all against Marquez, or Marquez against Marquez. And for me, it is the latter that best reflects reality. His talent is far superior to the rest of the field.. The only one who can make him lose this championship, it's himself ", explain Feathered à GP One.
According to him, if the Spanish champion does not make any mistakes, the 2025 title could be sealed well before the final round. I'm afraid there are three or four races left after which the championship will already be decided. That would be a record. He adds.
On the side of Pecco Bagnaia, the Italian seems to have found a second wind. Maybe he finally got Marc out of his mind. He is a perfectionist : As long as the bike isn't perfect, he struggles to exploit its potential. But Marc overcomes the problems. He doesn't care, he moves forward ", observes Feathered.
Carlo Pernat: “ If he can turn the page and refocus, Pecco Bagnaia can become the driver he was again. »
The consultant, however, hopes for a rebound from the 2022-2023 champion: " If he can turn the page and refocus, Pecco can become the driver he once was. But let's be clear: if Marc continues like this without fail, the championship is over. »
Alex Marquez, for his part, impresses with a GP24 which he exploits wonderfully. He has shown that he is not just "the brother of." A two-time world champion in the lower categories, he has demonstrated that he can join the fray in MotoGP. He is also second in the standings. He is the only one who, for the moment, can follow Marc, even if it remains a notch below »
Feathered also highlights the strength of the clan Ducati, still as dominant. Five Ducatis in the top six, six in the top ten. We are returning to the era of total domination. Yamaha and Honda are starting to make progress thanks to dealerships and their new technical recruitment, but Catching up with Ducati remains a titanic task »
He also returns to the key decision of Gigi Dall'Igna to have bet on Marc Marquez : " he was criticized, even by me, for letting Martin, Bastianini and Bezzecchi go. But Dall'Igna works neither on emotion nor on nostalgia. It follows the data and acts on merit. Today, we can say: he was right »
Finally, regarding young talents, Feathered does not fail to greet Peter Acosta : " he has raw talent comparable to that of Marquez or Quartararo. Finish fourth with a KTM far from perfect, it's remarkable »
The next stage will take place at Mugello, the hunting ground of the Italian drivers. Feathered, everything is still possible: " Bagnaia, Bezzecchi, Morbidelli, Bastianini… all can create a surprise at home. But Faced with this Marquez, you still have to believe in it »
