The 2019 season will resume, some, given their position, are already thinking about 2020, but there are others who are still looking forward to 2021! It must be said that by this time, a hell of a transfer market will have completed its exercise. All the tenors in fact have their contracts which end in 2020. Among them, Marc Márquez, who will set his rules. But there will be another driver who will also be looked at. A prognosis which is already that of Carlo Pernat.

Former team manager, formerly in the sporting destiny of Aprilia, now driver manager, Charles Pernat is to the Grand Prix paddock what the radar is to road safety: essential since always! He is at the crossroads of all the noises and other rumors that he sometimes knows how to interpret accurately. But where he cannot be faulted is his knowledge of the forces present, shaped by the generations he has seen pass. And the phenomena that inhabited them.

At the moment it is Marc Márquez which sets the tone. But since the start of this season, someone has emerged who could well be the one to dethrone him. He is 20 years old, he is French and rides a Yamaha. This destiny had already been predicted for him at barely 15 years old and it had not brought him luck. So you have to be careful...

But for Charles Pernat, there is no doubt about it and he therefore pronounces his name… “ Right now, I think the real anti-Márquez exists at Yamaha: it could be Quartararo, or even Viñales himself ". The tricolor is therefore not alone. On the other hand, Marc Marquez will be the only one to set its conditions: “ everyone will go looking for Marc » said Carlo on GPOne. “ But I don't think Honda will let him go and might use his brother Álex as bait. Puig must try to keep him, perhaps by putting him next to Álex. Whatever happens, to take Márquez you need at least 15 million euros and we will see if Audi will put their hand back in their pocket ».

The first time, it was for Jorge Lorenzo. On this Ducati episode, Feathered precise : " the real dream team was Lorenzo – Dovizioso, not Lorenzo – Márquez ».
