The Australian Grand Prix gave fans a great spectacle in all categories. Phillip Island was also the scene of two historic moments. On the one hand, Izan Guevara knew how to take advantage of his first match point. The Mallorcan managed to become Moto3 World Champion and he also did it with a victory.
In MotoGP, Marc Marquez was back on the podium, in second place, after the fourth operation on his right arm. It was also the first podium of the season for the man from Cervera. After the Grand Prix, the great relationship that exists between the two drivers became evident. Marc Marquez was excited about the title of Guevara, according to AS. “ Guevara won the championship title. He's a kid who goes by instinct. He is the one who has the most talent at the moment in Moto3 and that will be seen in Moto2, where he will go quickly », predicts the eight-time World Champion.
Marc Marquez Acosta has a more aggressive style, and Guevara is finer »
Last season, there was a rookie who stood out more than Guevara, but this year he knew how to shine. “ Last year he was covered by Acosta. He already had a lot of speed back then, but it lacked hand-to-hand combat and this year he won in that ", declared the eldest Marquez.
The two Moto3 world champions will meet next season in the intermediate category. “ Both are good, although with different styles » analyzes the eight-time World Champion. “ Acosta has a more aggressive style and Guevara is finer, but not as much as Lorenzo. His style will be seen more in Moto2, but he is a rider who lets the bike spin a lot. They are two different styles and ultimately, they are both champions ", explained the official Honda.
In the future, Acosta et Guevara could compete with Marc Marquez himself in MotoGP. “ Of course I get excited when I see kids like that. But at the same time no, because I know it's going to be difficult for me soon ».
« These are kids who are going to get into MotoGP. They will skip steps and make their mistakes. Like when Acosta came to Moto2, he crashed. When I arrived in Moto2, I crashed three times in a row. They will make their mistakes, but they will arrive safe and sound “, he concluded.
