This edition of the Australian Grand Prix will remain as one of the already countless highlights of an exciting MotoGP season. The kind of race that puts you in the golden book of motor sports. A place which, incidentally, is increasingly held by the motorcycle Grands Prix which offer a constant spectacle with the heroism of the driver placed in the foreground. Not everyone can say the same, especially with four wheels and a steering wheel. A status acquired because the actors give it their all on the track.
Some, like Lorenzo in Japan, are moved by it. Others, like Red at Phillip Island recognize that this is the game to accept unless you want to stay at home. For Márquez, who also spoke about the Australian ragpicker battle, it is even the DNA of a MotoGP which must keep this martial character of its races.
He explains : " Of course, there has to be a limit, but this Australian Grand Prix respected it. What happened there is normal. It was aggressive, there was contact, but at the end of the day, that's still racing. We must continue to be able to play with the limits, otherwise we will become like Formula 1. And this is also why the MotoGP audience is increasing ».
« On my leather I have beautiful marks. But if they were aggressive, I was too and in the end, we all played the same part. This race was very beautiful. There is of course always the notion of danger. In Australia, I was still careful because falling and not scoring any points would have been a disaster ».
Jostled by Johann zarco, the same Márquez then shook Valentino Rossi : " Honestly, I thought I had passed it. I have not seen it. Then I felt my bike lifting by itself. I said to myself " Çay est, I’m on the ground.” I cut the gas and we both stayed on our wheels ».
For Malaysia Marc Márquez promised caution to clinch his fourth MotoGP world title. In five seasons accomplished among the elite.
