Whatever happens, as of now, Alex Marquez has saved his season. And maybe even his reputation. No matter what we say and no matter what he does, his two World Champion titles, one in Moto3 and the other in Moto2, would have been enough for anyone else to find themselves completely legitimate in occupying the place that he has at Repsol Honda. But it's a Maquez, whose eldest Marc works miracles with the RC213V. As fate would have it, he was seriously injured while his younger brother Alex was starting alongside him in MotoGP. Until Le Mans, we wondered if he wasn't getting burned out. Then he finished second in the French Grand Prix…
Since then, everything has changed. His brother Marc is even more proud of him and he silenced the critics with this convincing result, taken on a Honda that he rode for the first time in the rain... But the Spaniard didn't just get on the MotoGP podium for the first time during the ninth race of the year... At this stage of the season, Alex Marquez remains one of only two drivers to have completed every race, with Takaaki Nakagami. In Aragon, he has been on the podium twice in the last four seasons (third in 2019 and second in 2016, in Moto2). We can therefore consider that he arrives on friendly ground…
“We need to work on qualifications”
« These few days were pleasant and I enjoyed the sensations after Le Mans” comments Alex Marquez who will again have as a teammate Stefan Bradl. " I would like to once again thank everyone who supported me or messaged me after the race. But now it's time to get back in the saddle a bit and get back to work in Aragon ».
« Qualifications remain the area we need to work on the most, because we showed that our running pace is usually not that bad and that we are able to fight more and more with each race. Let's see what time has in store for us. In the morning it can be very cold in Aragon, so we need to pay attention to that. Let's have a good weekend " finished Alex Marquez, who will join the LCR team in 2021, instead of Cal Crutchlow.
