Márquez, Rossi, Dovizioso and Crutchlow, among others, talk about what it's like for them to be in MotoGP and the sensations they get when riding at more than 300 km/h.
Dazn published an article on its platform which explains how this dream of running at more than 350 km/h for MotoGP riders. Some of the best riders in the premier class, such as Marc Márquez, Valentino Rossi ou Andrea Dovizioso, confess how they feel in each race and what it means for them to stand on the podium after hard work. “It's the best feeling you can ever have in your life », Explain Dovizioso.
But what is it really? Andrea himself defines it as something strange. “ It's very difficult to explain. You feel strong, in control most of the time. I feel very lucky to be able to ride motorcycles and, even more so, to be able to ride these types of motorcycles. Marc Márquez defines it as a passion. “ For me, riding a MotoGP is a passion. I can't imagine another life without MotoGP. If you stop to think about what we do, you wouldn't »
This very particular and extreme feeling of riding a MotoGP, which the riders report, sometimes scares them. “Tu feel fear, but when the moment passes, you feel like you want to do it again. It's very strange. When you are at home, you stop to think “but was I really going 350 km/h?” It's crazy », Explain Márquez.
" You are afraid. It's crazy "
In this line, the most interesting statement was that of the British pilot, Cal Crutchlow, who admitted that he doesn't like riding a motorcycle because it causes a lot of stress. “ You know I really don't like riding motorcycles, right? I do not know why. Yes, I like to compete with others, but, in itself, riding a motorcycle is stressful. You're still there, fighting, the bike in front of you stands up and... There's no time where you're like, "Hey, how wonderful, this is the most amazing thing that I have never done". »
Even so, for most, riding is a feeling that is created from the adrenaline and happiness caused by speed, and which multiplies when victory arrives. “ Especially if it's a tough race with a tough fight, especially if overtaking happens on the last lap », Explain Valentino Rossi.
Urban artist Márquez et Dovizioso agree that the best thing is to share it with the team and be able to thank them for all the effort and work done. “ Victory builds the best way to thank everyone around you, because ultimately, your team is everything », said Marc. “ I'm very lucky and it's fantastic to have the opportunity to feel that with your friends, with your team. It tastes even more powerful because it doesn't just have to do with you, but with everyone who works with you », adds the Italian of Ducati.
