The first 2018 MotoGP tests did not establish a clear hierarchy on which a forecast can begin to be built. The Ducatis are in the mix, the Hondas too and the Yamahas are making a splash before disappearing. Others have hidden their game and we must distinguish between the exploits on a lap and the in-depth work on the pace in the race. But one thing is certain: everyone behaves. Even the reigning World Champion Marc Márquez is of this opinion.  

This is perhaps also why he is waiting before signing for his future. He is clear on this subject: Honda is his priority, but he does not exclude any track because his priority is a winning bike. However, at this stage of 2018, everything is still unclear: “ each passing year shows smaller and smaller gaps between competitors. In Qatar, we will all start from scratch. I don't want to make predictions, but I think that the two official Ducatis, the two factory Yamahas, Pedrosa and Zarco will be able to compete for the championship ».

Here is the Frenchman in good company again. For the first Grand Prix on the Losail track, the six-time crowned winner also has his idea about the classification under the checkered flag: “ on a motorcycle, only the present counts. The criticism Jorge received will motivate him. I won't be surprised to see him win in Qatar ". And you ?
