One of the reasons of greatest interest of the world championship of MotoGP departing this weekend from Qatar, it is definitely the return of Marc Marquez, after the diplopia that stopped him again in the final part of last season. The Spanish rider, who still managed to win three Grand Prix in 2021 despite obvious physical limitations to his arm, hopes to be able to get back into the championship fight and give the favorites ‘Pecco’ Bagnaia (Ducati) and Fabio Quartararo a hard time. (Yamaha), reigning champion. The Honda HRC rider explained that he feels different than in the past, but that he is aware that in order to compete for the championship, it will not be necessary for him to be at 100%.
To support the chances of victory of the Spanish champion, who recently turned 29, was Stefan Bradl, German test driver of the Honda HRC team and who has therefore seen the # 93 closely in recent weeks: “I think Marc is in good shape. We are talking about the best driver of the last six years, if he has the right material, he will be the absolute favorite. I guess it is at 90%. When it comes to testing it is normal for the riders not to give their all and Marc was no exception. He will be there in front for the first race, together with other candidates “. Finally, this is the analysis that Bradl made to Speedweek on the reigning world champion: “Quartararo won in Qatar in 2021, let’s see how he will manage the pressure now. The Yamaha usually does better in the race than in the tests, but tracks like Malaysia and Indonesia will be complicated for the M1 due to the straights ”.
