This weekend is the chance or never to Marc Marquez to truly launch its MotoGP season. It must be said that his start to the 2017 campaign is the worst since he was in MotoGP. Until then, he had been on the podium in at least one of the first two Grands Prix on the calendar. But this time, he had to settle for fifth place and regret dropping out after Qatar and Argentina, won by the same Viñales. Here he is with a liability of 37 points over his compatriot at Yamaha. But the Honda official promises the “comeback”.
A concept thus qualified on the other side of the Pyrenees which has become less foreign to us since a certain football return match between Paris Saint Germain and Barcelona. A Champions League competition won 6 goals to 1 while the Barcelona cause seemed lost after a match lost 4 to 0.
And it was precisely in Barcelona, where he was passing through for a charitable action, that Marc Marquez took this reference: “ in football everything is possible, just like in motorbikes » reported on AS the five-time HRC winner. “ Many factors can influence the result. Barcelona has already turned a situation around. They can do it again ". An allusion to the new feat that his favorite club must once again achieve after another disappointment against Juventus Turin. But a rapprochement, too, with his delicate situation at the start of the season.
On the latter, he comments: “ it is the continuation of my offseason. It is not good and with a fall. But there are still plenty of Grands Prix left to change things. Mistakes are more expensive this season. I already played a joker, from the second race. But I'm going to try to get back together as quickly as possible ».
And the opportunity to redeem himself is for this weekend during a Grand Prix of the Americas which has never had a winner other than him. But Marc Marquez remain careful: in Argentina too things were going well until then. I hope to get on my first podium of the year in Austin. It's my goal. This year is different. A podium in Austin is the goal, I repeat ».
Certainly, but if Casa Particular in Viñales, meanwhile, achieves the three pass, the gap in the championship will only grow. Especially if Valentino Rossi comes between the two Spaniards.
