It's a constant this season which is cause for concern. And which risks doing damage. So, we have known since 2013 that with a Marc endowed with his full abilities, we will have a Marquez at the top of the timesheet. But we discover this season that with Alex, the same name brings up the rear. A big gap which can only undermine the youngest of the family and for the moment the only valid one. Alex Marquez is certainly making his debut in MotoGP this year, but what is surprising is that he cannot even gain the upper hand over test rider Stefan Bradl, who replaces his brother at the start for the reasons that 'we know... Alex takes stock, and he recognizes that he is living a waking nightmare...
At Honda, this year is bad karma. The bike is struggling, the leader Marc Marquez is injured like now Cal Crutchlow. Nakagami does what he can with a 213 RC2019V. The other 2020 versions simply don't exist in the hands of Stefan Bradl andAlex Marquez. Repsol colors have never been so dull…
The one who simply starts last in the Grand Prix of Misano this Sunday comments: “ it's a difficult classification. With these bumps on the track the bike gets very nervous and it's a little unpredictable where you're going to fail and it's easy to make a mistake. I didn't do a good full lap, the lap didn't go well said driver Cervera, complaining about the potholes on the Misano track after the resurfacing.
“It is clear that I am neither where I want nor where I should be”
« I remain positive for Sunday. It's clear that I'm not where I want to be, nor where I should be, but we are here to work hard, to improve. We have a test on Tuesday to improve, but I'm focusing on tomorrow, to be able to have a good race, to learn as much as I can. We must emerge convinced, look as much as possible towards the future », added the Repsol Honda Team rider.
On the great superiority of Yamaha he announces : " last year they already had something else here. Only Marc was able to be in the lead. Since last year, Yamaha had something else and also with the bumps that there are, it is a bike, as we have seen at Silverstone for many years, which is a little easier. It was something to plan for before coming here. We know that for us it is not the best circuit and we have to learn, adapt and improve ". His room for improvement is immense.
