As the Malaysian Grand Prix has opened its hostilities, it is recalled that it was the scene of the famous tensions between Marc Marquez and Valentino Rossi in 2015. Eyes are therefore on the Spaniard at a time when the race for the title offers another duel, this time between Jorge Martin and Pecco Bagnaia. Oscar Haro, an iconic figure in the MotoGP paddock, has shed some interesting light on Marquez's likely attitude during this event.
The duel for the 2024 MotoGP title is now clear: Pecco Bagnaia et George Martin will fight each other, probably until the final at Valencia or elsewhere. This situation gives rise to heated discussions, particularly on the role of Marc Marquez, which is already mathematically out of the question. Oscar Haro, former trusted man of the garage Honda, expressed his thoughts on the current dynamics in the paddock.
"Here we are in Malaysia," he said. Haro. " Pecco will certainly go well and the race could even be wet. But Jorge Martin just has to stay with Pecco Bagnaia " Then he has this certainty: Marquez, once a key player in the title fight, will not step in as he did in 2015, when he wreaked havoc between Valentino Rossi et Jorge Lorenzo.
Oscar Haro: “ Pecco Bagnaia is super respectful and didn't do everything Valentino Rossi did to Marc Marquez in 2015 »
Haro continues on MOW: " Marc has already done his job : fight like a wild boar until the end. But I assure you that Marc now has a different maturity compared to 2015. He will not enter another hornet's nest like in 2015 »
It is undeniable that Marquez has evolved, but some wonder if he has truly given up his combative nature. While some see him as a respectful pilot, others might view him as a competitor who never gives up his warrior instinct. Haro concludes by emphasizing that " Pecco is super respectful and didn't do everything Valentino did in 2015 »
The words ofOscar Haro suggest that the 2024 Malaysian Grand Prix could take place in a more peaceful climate than during the famous 2015 edition. If Marc Marquez appears determined to fight for victory in MotoGP, he is expected to adopt a more measured approach, leaving the way open for an exciting duel between bagnaia et Martin.
