When Marc Marquez talks about Moto3, he only has Canet on his mind. Too bad, because it misses the Mir subject which is indeed the main idea of this Moto3 season. The Mallorcan and Leopard pilot is panicking the statistics and presents himself as the pilot to follow in the coming years. Starting with 2018, where he will make his debut in Moto2 within the Marc VDS team, alongside… Alex Márquez.
There, for once, it will be complicated for the clan Márquez to act as if Mir did not exist. There remains these figures which make one's head spin. In Aragon he won his eighth victory of the season. Never has a rider achieved so much success in Moto3. And he still has four races left to beat this acquired record again.
Furthermore, it has been 14 consecutive races that he has scored points. He has raced 33 races in Moto3 and his podium presence rate is 33%. He claims 10 this season. But as there are only four Grands Prix left, he will not be able to beat the records of Cortese in 2012 and Viñales in 2013, who took 15 in one year.
Joan mir has led its championship since hostilities began this year. He is 80 points ahead of his least distant rivals fenati. There are 100 points left to distribute. Add it up: he needs to score 20 points and the title is his. A second place in Japan at the next deadline would therefore be sufficient. However, he will show up at Motegi with a sentence to serve due to his maneuver on the Aragon Straight during the final lap of the Grand Prix. The Leopard driver will have to give up six places on the starting grid once Japanese qualifying is over.
