Amazing. This is probably the word that best describes the start of MotoGP 2022, with two winners in the first two races who almost certainly blew the betting bank. Everyone expected the big favorites, so names like Fabio Quartararo, Pecco Bagnaia and Marc Marquez, on the other hand, Enea Bastianini and Miguel Oliveira were the winners in Qatar and Indonesia.
After the first two rounds, therefore, a decidedly unexpected world ranking emerged, in which the Italian of Gresini Racing still leads, albeit with just 11 points, followed by the other KTM, that of Brad Binder.
Several had predicted that it would take a few races to find some sort of normality, also because we must not forget that it is the first time in two years that the season has started with the trips outside Europe, which are destabilizing the situation a little.
Not surprisingly, this weekend we are back in Argentina, in Termas de Rio Hondo, where the MotoGP caravan has not made a stop since 2019, with the last two editions of the GP having been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. And the last to win in Termas was Marc Marquez, who as we write we don’t even know if he will be in the match.
On Monday morning, in fact, he will undergo a medical examination with Dr. Sanchez Dalmau to understand if the problem of diplopia (double vision) accused after the fall of the Mandalika Warm-Up is overcome or if a further problem is expected for the Honda rider. stop.
Regardless of this, the one in Argentina will be an important race for Ducati and especially for Bagnaia and Jorge Martin, who in the first two races collected a poor point in two and therefore will be called to redeem themselves if they want to keep their world ambitions intact.
