Marc Márquez can enjoy their vacation with a good feeling of accomplishment. Judge for yourself: three Grands Prix before the summer break, he was 37 points behind the championship leader. These three races completed, he is outright leader of the general classification at mid-season, with five points ahead of Viñales and six over Dovizioso. Then ten on Rossi and twenty-six on teammate Pedrosa. Not bad for a driver who said he was desperate for his Honda to the point of already thinking about 2018. That said, he would also like to know something other than his RC213V…
What is your favorite recreation? Marc Marquez ? Riding motocross. The five-time winner and eight-time consecutive winner of a German Grand Prix which takes place on the Sachsenring has already said that he would not have turned down a career in this category. But today he is doing his bit in the Grand Prix, a field where he makes his opponents bite the dust.
But motocross is an opportunity not only to train, but also to work through certain clauses of the employment contract away from prying eyes: “ I would like to do in MotoGP what I do with my friends in motocross. That is to say, ride any motorcycle. So of course, at the beginning, I took a Honda, and I rode with a friend on a Yamaha, another on a KTM and another on a Suzuki. When we are among ourselves, we exchange motorbikes. It would be nice to be able to do that in MotoGP ».
But MM93 has his boots on the ground: “ I know that will never happen. Which one would I like to try? All of them! But more particularly the Yamaha and the Ducati who are also in the running for the championship. I've always wanted to try these. But I wouldn't say no to the KTM or the Suzuki ". Note that the Aprilia is not mentioned... Disinterest or already done?
