If we only focus on the raw result, Marc Marquez's race in Jerez on Sunday, in a Spanish Grand Prix which launched the MotoGP season, was a disaster. Not only did the Honda official leave with zero points in terms of points scored, but he was also seriously injured after a fall following too much attack. Which promises to be crippling in a championship where there are now only twelve races left, the next of which is this weekend. But if we stay on precisely this excessive attack, the performance is one which will go down in history. Between panache and reason, columnist Carlo Pernat chose…
The last Spanish Grand Prix disputed on the route at Jerez followed under the magnifying glass of the only race of Marc Marquez is a revealer of many things. Both for the eight-time World Champion and for the others. Charles Pernat, on the airwaves of GPOne chose to focus on this comeback which could have been shown as an example in all flying schools, if it had not ended very painfully for its hero.
“This Grand Prix made Marc Marquez a myth”
But the impression left by this fantastic ride remains the strongest for the Italian: “ in 40 years, I don't remember a return like this from a pilot. If I were one of Marc's rivals, I wouldn't have slept at night ". And Feathered aims above all at one: “ Rossi didn't do such a thing even in his Honda days ". Certainly, but the Doctor has never experienced such an accident on a Honda either: “ At that moment, Marc was a blind bull, who was going to face sporting death ».
« At Jerez we saw the best and worst of Marquez " summary Charles Pernat. “ The best is represented by his great comeback after saving the bike in an incredible way on the gravel. If he had won this podium, he would have remained in the annals of the world championship. But we also saw the worst, because in such a short championship you cannot make such a mistake, knowing that his tires were finished. Marc was on the podium, but he was not satisfied. But it must be said that this Grand Prix made him a myth ».
Marc Marquez is now in the hands of doctors who hope not to discover nerve damage to his fractured humerus. From there, he will be able to establish a plan for his return, which he secretly hopes for Brno on August 9... " When he comes back, he will make a big mess, even if there will be fewer races. I think he will try to bring home the title ". Chick?
