So, imagine the scenario: Marc Marquez, this MotoGP gladiator, hungry like a bear coming out of hibernation and staring at a circuit he knows like the back of his hand. The mission, if anyone decides to accept it, is to dislodge this giant from the Texan throne at the Grand Prix of the Americas this weekend. “It looks like we mixed up a bunch of films here,” jokes Gresini Racing's Cristian Massa, casting Marquez in a biker version of “Mars Alone,” alone against everyone, ready to battle on his favorite planet, Austin. …
This good old man Marc Marquez collected victories in Austin like some people collect stamps, until a plot twist, in the person ofAlex Rins, come and steal the show one fine day in 2021. But this year, with a Ducati who purrs and in iron health, Marquez makes a comeback. He is the favorite, the captain of the ship, ready to sail to victory without looking back.
This is where the plot thickens. Ducati has an army ready to fight, led by the shock duo bagnaia et George Martin. And then there's this new kid, Peter Acosta, the daring rookie who seems to say: “Why not me?” » Bring down Marquez in Austin, it's a bit like trying to beat Bud Spencer in a slapping contest: a near-impossible mission.
Will the Austin route once again be a promised land for the “Martian” Marc Marquez?
We just hope that this epic battle won't leave too many traces. Because, you see, if Ducati managed to reverse history in Austin, it would be a historic feat, worthy of the greatest blockbusters. Honda has reigned on this circuit for ages, thanks to our hero Marquez. But with Ducati and his dream team, the tide could well turn.
We are witnessing a real motorized thriller, where everyone wants to play the main role. Marc Marquez, with his thirst for victory and his love for COTA, could well add a new chapter to his legend. But in this modern western, the guns Ducati are also loaded and ready to draw. Fingers crossed that the race doesn’t turn into a “Fast and Furious” version MotoGP.
So, may the best win! But above all, let the spectacle be there, with overtaking galore, strategies worthy of a spy film and, of course, a touch of humor to spice it all up. Because after all, MotoGP is also that: a great spectacle, laughter and thrills. Let the festivities begin !
