In the MotoGP family, we knew a Marc Márquez specialist in catching up in desperate situations. A quality that can now also be attributed to a Loris Baz on which it is just as possible to count on for recovery.
The rescue of the Frenchman at the end of the Q.1 of the Austin Grand Prix will remain among the images to remember from this third meeting of the year. And undoubtedly among those that we will keep when taking stock of the year.
The figure is beautiful and represents a magical synthesis between success, talent, all sprinkled with a fierce desire to avoid falling. Nice, but also a bit of a shame because without that, the Avintia driver could have played out his qualification for Q.2 until the end. But his passage to posterity has been made.
Nooooo!🙈
Save of the season from @lorisbaz as he was on his way to a near certain Q2 position! #AmericasGP pic.twitter.com/5bSzJvcE06
