The Repsol Honda driver arrives at the Sachsenring circuit as the big favorite in every way. Not only does he have a flawless performance on the German track, but he is also the leader of the Championship. Something to seriously worry his rivals this weekend.
Marc Márquez is about to arrive at the Sachsenring circuit for the ninth meeting of the season. This track is not just any track for him since it is one of the ones where he has dominated the most until now.
Indeed, since 2010, he has won every year on the German track, in all three categories. First once in 125cc in 2010, then twice in Moto2 in 2011 and 2012, and finally five times in MotoGP in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017. Moreover, he started from pole each time position, statistics that make his opponents dizzy!
With such results added to his forty-one points lead over the runner-up in the Championship, Valentino Rossi, it is difficult not to consider Marc Márquez as the big favorite this weekend. However, he remains on his guard because he knows that too much confidence can be harmful, and that anything can still happen: “The victory we achieved at Assen was important because it was a race where it was extremely easy to make a mistake, and instead we were able to extend our Championship lead. Now we are going to a really different circuit where we are normally very strong, but every year is different. You could say I say this a lot, but it's true! Weather could play a big role, as we've seen in the past. If it rains or the conditions are mixed, everything will change very quickly and you will have to be ready. So we'll see. We're going to go out there and try to see what our level is while trying to be strong from the start of the weekend. Then on Sunday we will try to fight for the podium again. »
