The pandemic has imposed this: the 2020 MotoGP season will have a unique physiognomy. By reducing its time and space, the calendar of festivities promises a particular rhythm and a changed approach to the competition. It will take a subtle balance between “explosiveness”, the search for victory and management of opportunities with a margin of safety so as not to get injured. Because there will be no more delay for convalescence. Veteran Alex Barros gives his feelings on this situation at 13 races. At his time, there were 14, so his experience may be useful...
From Alex Barros, Brazil is looking for its motorcycle champion. In the meantime, he is still sensitive to developments in a paddock which has gone through the worst of the Covid-19 crisis to find itself, today, in battle order in order to launch its MotoGP season.
On DAZN, Alex Barros comments: “ we go back to years ago, where there were 14 races ". What could change the situation? Not really, although… “ Márquez will always be the reference, all this break helped him since he recovered from his shoulder whereas in March he was not 100% and suffered a little with the Honda ».
“This whole breakup helped Marc Marquez”
He adds : " it will be a different championship than the one we are used to. Speaking from driver to driver, Quartararo is the one who can take on Márquez the most. He is more aggressive and more willing to go to the limit. There are also Viñales, Rossi, Ducati riders... "
To Barros, this shortened schedule does not give time to manage anything and it is better to go out to win because “ you have time to change some things but not the entire bike ". Also any error will pay dearly: “ they won't have much margin. From this point of view, I would opt for victory as a strategy. ».
