He MotoGP World Championship He arrives this weekend in Malaysia and from there, despite the distance, he has spoken Marc Marquez to send his condolences to those affected by DANA in Spain and give his opinion on the dispute of the Valencia Grand Prixscheduled for two weeks from now. The Spanish driver, visibly affected by what has happened these days in various regions of Spain, avoided talking about sporting issues to focus on the tragedy, which has also had a significant impact on the facilities of the Ricardo Tormo circuit.
«Logically, as a Spaniard, the images are terrifying. We are far away but we have followed it closely and It hurts a lot to see people, and more Spanish, in those conditions and how DANA has hit Valencia in this case,” explained the Cervera driver.
The eight-time world champion was forceful about the possibility of competing in the Valencia Grand Prix, the last event on the MotoGP calendar. «For me it would be a mistake to talk about it when there are people without homes, we have lost many Spaniards, we have lost lives, we must allocate all the resources we have in our country to those people. The other things, events, non-sports, sports, remain completely in the background and the resources should be allocated there.
«As a Spanish driver I would love to have a grand prix in Spain and even more so in one of the circuits that I like the most and there is a great atmosphere, but the situation is what it is and the first thing is to help all the people who have been left homeless. , who right now doesn’t have a roof, food… all that. Whether the grand prize is awarded or not, I don’t want to make a statement on it, but, for me… yes, I make a statement: It would be a mistake, ethically speaking.».
«The only option in which it would make sense to hold the Valencia Grand Prix is to allocate everything raised to those families. When I say all the proceeds, that’s what it is. But it remains in the background because there are families without homes, who have lost relatives,” he added.
Close the course in another circuit
Regarding the organization’s decision, Márquez considers that “it is very early, it happened two days ago. Now they have to meet and make the decision, evaluating everything. I would have taken it already, but You have to see what is best for the human being, not for the event itself and the championship.and decide based on that.
The Spaniard pointed out that if the Valencia Grand Prix is not held, the championship should be closed on another circuit. «I have not said that Valencia should be cancelled, I have said that everything that happens, what there is, exactly what damage there is, what pros and what cons there would be should be assessed, but that there should be another race yes or yes, yes . Two races have already been canceled during the championship, It would make no sense to finish the championship here (Malaysia) and say on Thursday that the championship is over.. “There should be a race somewhere.”
