Joan Mir is the new MotoGP World Champion and he succeeds Marc Marquez who left his crown without being able to fight. A situation that some will use to take away credit from the Suzuki official. But don't count on Alex Marquez, who is Marc's brother, to go down this slope. For him, Joan Mir deserves his title and he is even a source of motivation. Here's why…
The concept was launched by Alberto puig, boss in the box Repsol Honda : due to the withdrawal of the MotoGP captain and world title holder Marc Marquez, this year's championship, already completely redone due to the raging pandemic, was of a lower level. His future champion would therefore be the same.
A theory undermined and first by the one who ended up winning, in this case Joan mir. On the one hand, the person concerned has already been World Champion, and that was in 2017 in Moto3. And then, in view of all of his work, which is still in progress, the Majorcan has the respect of everyone.
A consideration that does not hide Alex Marquez, brother of Marc, and who does not care about the void left by his elder to evaluate the consecration of a pilot of his generation: “ the merit is the same, he is world champion » is short for someone who experienced an ordeal on his Honda in Valencia, due to a body crumpled by a very heavy fall the day before the event.
« It's clear that this year has been weirder, shorter with 13 races and not 20 or 19. You have fewer variables to not be world champion, there is no "overseas", races outside Europe, where many things are pass. There are races in wet and difficult races. It is clear that there have been fewer obstacles, in case you are competitive, to be a champion ».
“He is a motivation for those who arrived from Moto2”
However, Alex Marquez, titled in Moto3 as in Moto2 specifies: “ but there are different types of champions, there has been no champion who has dominated from the beginning, but he always knew how to be there, very realistic with his possibilities at all times and knew how to make the most of them when he had everything. He deserves it and, when you're world champion, it doesn't matter what people say. He deserves it and was the fastest of all ».
Alex Marquez finished : " it is a motivation more than a reference. Everyone has their own way to get there. He did it perfectly, he knew how to get the most out of it, it's an extra motivation for those of us who came from Moto2. It's a good reference »… Which will whet the appetite of the new generation in 2021. Marc Marquez risks finding a MotoGP more different than he left it…
