If we were to convince ourselves that we have entered a world after that, we would have to look at how this MotoGP season unfolded. It is in fact very different from the previous ones, with, in particular, a new hierarchy in the championship. In five races, four winners have been declared and three manufacturers have come to fruition. Including KTM, twice. The Austrians are currently third in their constructor's championship. When you have been the owner of a very different configuration in force since 2013, you are certainly bound to break out in a cold sweat. Everything is falling apart and even more so because we can't do anything about it, stuck on our sofa because of an injury. Therefore, seeing a well-known opponent take the crown at the end of the campaign would be reassuring...
In which state Marc Marquez will find MotoGP again, when he returns afterwards months of convalescence ? There is no doubt that the eight-time World Champion asks himself this question. He had dominated his subject so much until then that he had a hold on the starting grid. And he liked to delay the deadlines of the rising generation, knowing very well what a victory can have as a positive effect on a driver.
We will remember that in 2019, he never gave up in the face of fabio quartararo, even when, personally, he no longer had any stake. Except to show that he was the only boss, thus instilling in the mind of his rival, the inevitability of defeat before him. This time, the field is clear and the milestones have been passed. Better still, others have shown their nose, starting with Brad Binder, winner of a Grand Prix in his first season in MotoGP. Like him before...
A titled Dovizioso would extend Marc Marquez’s reign
So, to limit the damage from the blast effect of a succession that no longer respects anything, seeing a sure and well-known value come to fruition would be reassuring. On this subject, Marc Marquez said : " I am convinced that if Dovizioso managed to win the World Championship, many would be happy. He deserves it, he finished second three times and now it would be fair for his sacrifices to be rewarded ».
The scenario would also show a certain logic: the sovereign Marc Marquez absent, it is the dolphin who takes over. And it will fade away when the King returns to a finally prolonged reign. Otherwise, it will be necessary to defeat a young prince who wants to establish his new legitimacy... In fact, if Andrea Dovizioso had to take the scepter, maybe it's good Marc Marquez who would be the happiest.
