A detached daughter of 6-7 falls
“Tell us how you managed to pull off an overtaking like that“. Jorge Lorenzoguest in the studios of DAZN Spainasked this question in the post-race interviews with Marc Marquez, second in the French GP thanks to a film library overtaking on the last lap against Francesco Bagnaia at the ‘Chemin aux Boeufs’ chicane, turns 9 and 10 of the map ‘Bugatti’ de la Sarthe circuit.
“It is an overtaking result of at least 6-7 falls at that point – Marquez replied – I’ve always felt very good in that braking section to the left and it was the section that generally allowed me to get back up to the leading pair. I saw that Bagnaia didn’t attack Martin and so I attacked. I knew I had margin if I was long because I could brake a little more when changing direction to the right, but it went well. For sure the rear brake was nailed”a detail that was highlighted by Marquez not recently given that in Jerez during the tests he tried the ‘thumb’ one on the left handlebar grip used by Martin and Bagnaia, preferring to stick with the lever one to be operated with the right foot.
“Congratulations, your naturalness and your instinct are inimitable“concluded Lorenzo, who had previously underlined that Marc Marquez’s results have an even more special flavor given that they come after a long period of great technical and physical difficulties for the eight-time world champion.
“After difficult years, results like this have a truly special taste – Lorenzo’s words – Marquez is having fun and entertaining the crowd, you can see it from how happy he is when he gets off the bike and how he celebrates in Parc Fermé. He is the veteran of the MotoGP, he can be himself and be natural”.
