Marc Márquez was until the last Austrian Grand Prix the unbeatable serviceman in MotoGP. But since he had to lose in the last corner of the race at the Red Bull Ring, the Honda official has suddenly become acceptable for those who take the trouble... With this statistic which will not fail to annoy the Spaniard and wanting, very often, to lose his duels against Andrea Dovizioso. But his counterpart and member of the HRC clan Cal Crutchlow comes to his aid by reminding us of certain things…
Car Marc Márquez, all the same, is not there by chance… Cal Crutchlow paints this portrait thus: “ he's like Houdini. He has a trick for succeeding in each sector of the circuit. And that's why he succeeds in doing what he does ". He insists : " It's not that it has a thing in one sector, I think it's a thing in all sectors. It drives amazingly, it's that simple ».
A level that is not accessible to ordinary mortals: “ you can't, even as a rider, do what this guy does on his bike. It's something really special. What it does differently is in almost every corner, every braking, every acceleration ».
According to the British vision, Marc Márquez is at a much higher level than the rest of the drivers in the category and he even considers that his level makes the rest of the field “mediocre”. He also recognizes that he has an advantage over others, even if he doesn't know exactly what that is. “ It's clear that he has an advantage over everyone else, but which one, I have no idea. If I could go as fast as him I would ».
However, despite the feeling of inferiority, Crutchlow believes that no other rider on the same bike would be faster than him. He thinks that all drivers, but especially him, give their all to try to improve and win Márquez, although they are not succeeding at the moment. “ I know I'm in the same factory, but I can tell you that today, if you put most of the riders on my bike, they won't go as fast as me. So, I think everyone is doing their best, everyone is trying to showcase their talent, especially me, because I am with the same manufacturer, but at the moment it is not possible to beat them ».
