Five Grands Prix and 43 points ahead. This is the situation of Marc Márquez, so to speak, well on his way to winning his third MotoGP world crown. Even his challenger Valentino Rossi agrees. If nothing happens to him, the matter is over. Exactly, everything is there.
The Honda official is well aware of this: the countdown that would give him a third coronation has begun. So close to the goal, it would be a shame to miss the mark. In fact, it will be necessary to avoid bad falls and scuffles both on the track and behind the scenes. A prudence and discipline that the teammate of a Dani Pedrosa possibly found and who is invited to collect big points will win.
A promise made in the columns of Motoracing : " I will stay away from any provocation. What if Valentino were to provoke me? I will not get into this game. If we continue like this and go our own way, there will be no problem. I saw the duel between Rossi and Lorenzo in Misano. I didn't put myself in the middle. I think about the championship and what I have to do to win it. I'm careful on the track because you can't control everything. This season is special, there are many winners. I think about the end goal ».
In the race, we see a Marc Marquez indeed cautious, but also with some bloodshed. This was the case at Silverstone, while in practice he let go more often and sometimes fell up to 3 times. The tension is there and Marc Márquez is on the lookout for the slightest problem that could arise from experienced competition in the hope of avoiding it. But it is well known that fear does not avoid danger!
