Marc Márquez appears to be destined for the world title this year. No offense to a posh Yamaha duo, the official of a Honda that is even less good than the M1 manages to put everything in place and avoid pitfalls to, each time, come out on top. Enough to undermine morale of his adversaries.
A determination, a solidity, and a hint of success which give the recipe for a domination that we did not expect in view of the off-season tests at the helm of a RC213V complicated. And yet, seven Grands Prix from the end of hostilities, Marc Márquez is 53 points ahead of a Valentino Rossi who has already recognized that on a regular basis, he will not be able to join the Spaniard.
And his compatriot Lorenzo ? He swears he didn't give up. But the rain will have to stop falling on Grand Prix Sundays. And then next year, he goes to Ducati. Not to mention that, in his mind, the idea of a Márquez untouchable is indeed present. The proof with this passage from an interview granted to Gazzetta dello Sport: “ Marc Márquez has changed his management of the race but he continues to take risks. But when he falls, he's like Superman. It falls a bit like a cat, it is very flexible. He is less likely to get injured than other pilots who are older, of different stature and who are less physically strong ».
Not bad from the man we nicknamed Iron Man during his MotoGP debut. The Majorcan will travel this weekend to Silverstone, a circuit which he dominated three times in 2010, 2012 and 2013. Third overall, he regrets 59 points behind in the championship on a Marc Marquez who won two victories on this track. One in 125cc in 2010 and another in MotoGP in 2014.
