In 2020, Max Biaggi will be in the Grand Prix paddock like an orphan. His great friend and cadet Jorge Lorenzo will in fact no longer be part of the landscape. Le Corsaire will always be involved through an almost eponymous Moto3 team which will field KTMs disguised as Husqvarnas. That being said, the Roman emperor, who is no longer in battle, looks at the evolution of MotoGP and announces an unchallenged reign of Marc Márquez who has not finished enhancing his record. But he also sees a Fabio Quartararo with qualities that captivate him. He explains the reasons…
Max Biaggi has six world titles in his pocket, but none coming from the major Grand Prix category. The late 250 was his kingdom and he also led two victorious campaigns in WSBK, all almost on behalf ofAprilia. Now he is involved in a Moto3 team. He observes and guides young hopefuls, while studying what is happening in MotoGP.
A discipline placed under the domination of Marc Márquez . A situation that will last… “ For me, Marc's cycle will last a long time. He is very young, he will win more than 10 titles. It's an idea that almost everyone has. » What is there to despair about? Nope. Because the competition is already there: “ rather than talking about Rossi, I prefer to see those who come, like Quartararo »
And on the French, Max Biaggi has a more than positive opinion: “ everyone says Marc is the strongest. It's certain. For talent or whatever. But for those coming through, what's impressive about Quartararo isn't the fact that he takes pole positions or podiums or that he always strives to be in the lead. What is impressive is that he is the only rider in the last 15 or 20 years who, on Friday, without ever having taken a MotoGP, on any circuit, is in the top three. Nobody says it, but it's the truth. Fabio may be a champion, but not yet. »
It is also said that the same Quarterly would be the successor of Lorenzo, an idea put forward by the now retired himself. What do you think Max Biaggi ? He responds on Brand : " we are talking here about a champion with capital letters. The story doesn't say it's Fabio. It's not a driver who comes from the previous category winning. He was not Moto2 champion. In that, it is already different. Maybe Marc's brother. If he comes to MotoGP and does something like what Quartararo is doing, then he will have plenty of options to win in MotoGP. But, right now, I don't see anyone who can take Jorge's place, honestly. »
