MotoGP Carmelo Ezpeleta: “Marc Márquez doesn’t win easily, so there’s a spectacle”

MotoGP is under the reign of Marc Márquez following the domination of Valentino Rossi. But this hold seems stronger, like the mark of an era which reveals drivers raised from a young age to win and perform. Machines that crush everything in their path. To the point of making shopping boring? The boss of the promoter Dorna does not believe it and has confidence in his regulations balancing forces to preserve spectacle and interest.

Misano had been interesting, Buriram argued until the last turn, but in between there was Aragon and Marc Márquez without fabio quartararo. A race that the Honda official flew over so much that the director of the Repsol Honda team, in this case Alberto puig, outright apologized to the fans…

Hence this question: the currently unchallenged reign of Marc Márquez will he eventually tire of MotoGP? An essential question for the promoter Dorna. And his boss Carmelo Ezpeleta responds to “La Gazzetta dello Sport”: “ from 1949 to the present, a certain driver has always dominated. Naturally Marquez wins, but Coppi also dominated cycling or Nadal at Roland Garros. However, the interest is still there because he wins by fighting until the end. »

The Spaniard then continued: “ Marc doesn't win easily, so I don't think that makes the races any less exciting. Our sport is interesting and we want it to continue to be like that. We have a select group of people who study new technologies. I believe we can make MotoGP as spectacular as it already is with the best means available for broadcast. »

Ezpeleta term : " motorcycles are so similar that the rider becomes the fundamental factor. The least efficient motorcycles must be close to the fastest. This way there is more entertainment. »
