Carlo Pernat doesn't disagree: Marc Marquez is undoubtedly the strong man of the second half of the 2025 MotoGP season, and Brno only confirmed it. With a Sprint victory and a race victory, the Ducati Lenovo Team rider added 37 more points to his tally, bringing to five the number of consecutive weekends where he has achieved a perfect performance. A performance that leaves one dreaming... or resigned, depending on who you talk to.
Charles Pernat, never short of incisive comments, delivers his analysis on GP One :
« With Marquez, we're aiming for the record. This is already the fifth time he's won everything, just like in the Honda era. Dall'Igna clearly bet right : by recruiting him, he turned the world championship on its head »
Corn (Mais) Feathered doesn't only see red. He welcomes the rise ofAprilia and Bezzecchi, a true revelation of the moment.
« They built a beautiful motorcycle in Noale. Despite Martin's problems, Bezzecchi has been able to raise its levelHe is the only one not to suffer from Marquez's domination. »
Carlo Pernat: “ Marco Bezzecchi's perseverance will pay off »
According to him, the rest of the championship will be played out between these new emerging forces:
« Bezzecchi knows Marc is a phenomenon, but he continues to believe in him and to get closer to him. His perseverance will pay off. This will be the common thread of this second half of the season: Bezzecchi, Aprilia and the return of Martin »
Behind the scenes, too, the cards are being reshuffled. Feathered welcomes the arrival of Sterlacchini in Aprilia, former right-hand man of Dall'Igna, and the decisive role of Massimo rivola, at the origin of the confirmed return of George Martin for 2026.
« It was strange that he didn't come back sooner. But now he has. And Raul Fernandez is also progressing, he is a protégé of Rivola »
As for KTM, Peter Acosta impresses. The only downside: the fall of bastianini. But Feathered sees the positive in it: " He figured out how to ride this KTM. He's back in the game. »
And Ducati, despite its victories? Not as serene as it seems. Feathered warns: “ the GP25 poses a problemEven Marquez says between the lines that it is difficult to adjust. Bagnaia and Di Giannantonio are also struggling. The only one who survives is Marc, because he is a phenomenon. »
He already predicts a rescue plan for Dall'Igna for the rest: " he won't let the other factories come back. He will bring something newThis year is tough, and Marquez is their lifeline. »
And to conclude, lucidly:
« Looking at the ranking, we see three Ducatis in front. Bezzecchi returns, but the championship lacks balanceThe Manufacturers' Cup is for Ducati, there's no contest. Yamaha and Honda have made real progress thanks to their dealerships, but it will still take time. »
The rest of the season MotoGP looks interesting. Marquez traces its path, but behind it, the challengers sharpen their weapons...
