Marquez is enjoying it
After the perfect weekend in Aragón, Marc Marquez imposes his law also at Misano. One lap is enough for him to make the difference: on a wet track, the eight-time world champion eats up the entire gap to Francesco Bagnaia before also detaching him on a dry trajectory, giving a lesson in lucidity and driving to the entire paddock.
The words of Marquez
“It was the most important moment of the race, because overtaking here is very difficult.“, this is the comment to Sky Sports MotoGP referring to those few minutes of rain. “Afterwards, for me it was very important to be in front: I did the fast lap, I opened the gap with ‘Pecco’, I felt very good, he could ride very smoothly like Aragón. We are there, we still have to work on all the details, we cannot make mistakes in the tests, but every time I feel better with this Ducati“.
“I know that overtaking here is very difficult, I saw it yesterday in the Sprint, I had a similar pace to Bagnaia and Martin, but I couldn’t overtake because the front tyre swells.“, he continued. “When I saw Bagnaia behind, I had a little more in two braking points, and it is in those points that I pushed more. We cannot hope for water every race, but the speed at the end of the race was there“.
The situation in the standings
After his triumph at the “Marco Simoncelli”, Marquez is 53 points behind Jorge Martin in the rider standings. He will never admit it, but he feels he is in full battle for the world championship. And, above all, he has every right to do so, considering his current form and how the pressure is all on the shoulders of the two leaders.
