Ce no British Grand Prix will not have been lost for everyone... Because even without having completed a single lap of the race, this twelfth meeting at Silverstone of the MotoGP calendar counts for the championship. And the one who was 59 points ahead in the general classification still has the same number but with one less deadline to honor. And the fact that it was a driver from a Honda factory who blocked himself from racing the Monday following this disastrous Sunday has nothing to do with the story...
Like the fact that with two Ducatis in the lead and one John Zarco not awkward on the first line, the same Marquez could possibly drop more points to the red bikes, as they have for several Grands Prix already... Everyone will draw the conclusions they want, but the fact is that this status quo in the title race is not really.
At Tech3, we would have liked to run on Monday, like some others, but they were not the majority. Hervé Poncharal may be disappointed, not only for Johann zarco, But also Remy Gardner who could have great ambitions in Moto2 on his Mistral610. In two weeks, in Misano, the weather should be good for the San Marino Grand Prix...
“We have to do everything in our power to race, out of respect for the 90,000 spectators freezing around the track. But first and foremost, it has to be safe” – Herve Poncharal 🎙#BritishGP 🇬🇧 pic.twitter.com/2mAXNeMCWd
