This European Grand Prix in Valencia will have delivered us a ninth winner this season in the person of Joan Mir who achieves success for the first time in his career in MotoGP. An achievement which silences possible criticism about a World Champion without the slightest success. No, whatever happens between now and the Portimao final, he will not be the Emilio Alzamora of the premier category...
On the other hand, he gave himself every chance of becoming the new World Champion. Two events from the goal, the next of which will be on the same route from next weekend, the official Suzuki matters 37 points ahead of Fabio Quartararo and his teammate alex rins. The Frenchman's situation betrays a poor performance which began at the start of the event, with a fall at turn 4. He accompanied the movement ofAleix Espargaró, but without the two men ever touching.
It's a hard blow for fabio quartararo while at Yamaha , everything collapses. After the blunder over a story of valve suppliers cutting its championship points mark, the indulgence granted to its drivers who kept theirs was canceled by this antepenultimate meeting of the year.
Even the final podium is in danger for Fabio Quartararo
The tricolor finishes 14thrd, Casa Particular in Viñales left stands 13rd, Valentino Rossi gave up due to technical problems and Franco Morbidelli could not do better than 11rd. In front, Suzuki is delighted with a double, with the GSX-RR powered, like the M1, by an in-line four-cylinder engine…
The pilot Petronas not only sees the crown slipping away from under his nose, he is also in the fray for a place on the podium. Kidneys has the same capital as him, Casa Particular in Viñales is at 4 points, while Dovizosio is at 7 and Morbidely at 8.
We end with the competition between the rookies. Alex Marquez could have taken advantage of Brad Binder, but he fell while the South African scored to give himself some breathing space...
