MotoGP, Marc Marquez: “losing five points at the finish of a Grand Prix no longer bothers me”

There are eight races remaining before the end of this season and Marc Marquez is 59 points ahead of a Valentino Rossi equipped with a Yamaha until the last news incapable of winning, and 71 points on his least distant rival, riding what is now a formidable Ducati. The waiver could not be more favorable for the Honda official. However, Jorge Lorenzo started the rant with a memorable “remontada”. What does the general leader think?

In an interview with Motomatters, Por Fuera warned: it wouldn't take much for his Ducati to eliminate its last flaws. This combined with his current qualities would mean that all future Grands Prix could fall into his hands.

For once, it would be a feat that would go down in history. Enough to sow doubt in the minds of Marc Marquez ? He responds on Motoracing : " Last year, everything was different when I had to attack, because Dovizioso was always close to me. But this season, I am calm. If I have to drop five points, I have no problem doing it. Not winning all the Grands Prix is ​​not a problem for me. On the other hand, it's better to put yourself in a position where, at the end of the year, there will be something to celebrate ».

Sure, but Lorenzo he plans to take at least nine points per race before the last one in Valencia. Which would obviously be more problematic for the HRC driver. But what is also more difficult to accomplish given its level and the fact that Dovizioso is also in the race.
