MotoGP is gradually emerging from its winter lethargy. The furnace of Sepang breaks the ice for the Malaysian preliminaries which will open with tests with the starting drivers from February 6. A warm-up which will in any case leave a taste of unfinished business since, at Honda, the magical duo from whom we expect sparks will not be reunited. Marc Marquez will thus be alone at the controls, while Jorge Lorenzo will treat his convalescent scaphoid. We will still have to wait a little longer to judge this cohabitation which is also fascinating Carmelo Ezpeleta.
2019 will be a very special year for MotoGP. Most of the eyes are focused on the 100% Spanish duo who will be riding the two official Honda motorcycles. Jorge Lorenzo et Marc Marquez are these and between them bring together 12 world championships. This promises us sparks on the track.
Who says “sparks” also says probable racing incidents. Enough to already make the boss of Dorna react Carmelo Ezpeleta who knows that to govern is to plan. And prevention is therefore better than cure. In comments relayed by Tutomotoriweb, he announces thus: “ they will do everything to win, but the others will also put at least as much effort into it. We don't like unsportsmanlike things. No one wants to get hurt, but in the end, sometimes they end up getting hurt. It is a complex profession where the risk of damage is high. It's a question of success. But there are imponderables ».
He ends with this notion of “dream team” which is starting to stick to the HRC version 2019: “ it's at the end of the season that we deserve this dream team title ". Appointment made!
