Ce Argentine Grand Prix with twists and turns will have satisfied some, delighted some, irritated others but will have made a lot of people happy. Without noise and with the serenity and calm that we know, Andrea Dovizioso comes out, in fact, reinforced by a Termas de Rio Hondo event which had all the trappings of a mass triumph for the Honda trio. Certainly, one of them won, but undoubtedly the least formidable for the championship. Cal Crutchlow is the winner and overall leader. Just three points ahead of a DesmoDovi who didn't think so well to get the chestnuts from the Argentinian fire...
Never in the rhythm on the handlebars of a GP18 which is not very efficient on this track, Dovizioso thought about taking a suitcase this Sunday and he practically leaves with the box. Sixth in the race, he certainly saw the LCR driver gird the laurels of victory and take control of the general classification, but above all he noticed that Red was knocked down for the count by a Márquez then sanctioned and reclassified out of points. A great deal!
zarco is on this provisional podium with 10 points behind and Casa Particular in Viñales integrates the head square with a liability of 17 units. Marc Márquez, before arriving in his garden in Austin, is fifth in this hierarchy, 18 lengths from the one who also took the scepter of leader at Honda… And therefore 15 from the official Ducati.
Miller et Petrucci follow the same as Red which remains with its capital acquired in Qatar. Put on the ground by Marquez, the Doctor loses good points and regrets 22 behind on Crutchlow and four on his Argentinian executioner. Kidneys is on the same level as him. As for Pedrosa, firmly invited to stop his short performance by Zarco, here he is twelfth with 29 points to make up…
