Marc Marquez suffered another defeat this season, but, rest assured, everything is fine as far as he is concerned. From Germany, he leaves the glory to the Ducati, but little by little, he builds his seventh world title. Because when he arrived in Misano, he was 59 points behind Red and here he is now with 67 units ahead of the winner of the day Dovizioso…
A cancellation in Great Britain, a fall of Lorenzo two laps from the goal of the San Marino Grand Prix which gives him the 20 points for second place... It must be recognized that the Honda official has a certain baraka, in addition to undeniable talent.
Still, Ducati won its third consecutive victory. Unheard of among the reds since 2008. Dovizioso performed for the first time in Misano. At Yamaha, we lost a rank since Red is now third at 70 points. Lorenzo is 91 lengths, Vinales to a passive of 97 points and Crutchlow follows at 102 units but with the status of best independent driver.
Johann zarco is in fact seventh at 111 points, the same gap deplored by Petrucci in this quest which gradually escapes the Tech3 pilot. The top 10 is completed by Iannone at 129 points and Pedrosa at 145. Baptist leads the rest of the pack at 157 points.
Next round in Aragon, in two weeks.
