The 2018 season has entered its final part with its four overseas Grands Prix which will open with the finale in Valencia. But already, the milestones for 2019 are being set, and especially at Honda which is preparing to host the last two MotoGP World Champions since 2012. A striking duo if ever there was one, which will not fail to cause friction. Moreover, in Aragon, we had a glimpse of what it could give...

The eventful start of the last race which ended with the fall of a Lorenzo who accused Marquez to have insidiously provoked it was like a dress rehearsal for what could happen in the den of the HRC over the next two years. A hardening that was also useful to the team manager Alberto puig, whose character is also made of hardened steel. In the end, the exchanges were lively but brief and everything returned to normal fairly quickly, at least officially.

I like people who are transparent and who tell you things to your face, without trying to be diplomatic or to please you ».

On these last points, the five-time winner will undoubtedly be served… In conclusion, he specifies: “ surely, Márquez will also become stronger, but it's also the same for me. It always happens like this. With Valentino, we both raised our level, because neither wanted to be the slowest. And this also happened with Dovi, who had already ridden the bike for six years ».
