This weekend, the Circuit de Barceloma-Catalunya dressed up again to host the MotoGP World Championship. The leading motorcycling competition in the world returns to the Catalan track with Pecco Bagnaia who just won everything in Austria (sprint and Sunday race), and with 251 points is the remaining leader of the top category. The reigning world champion has a 62-point lead over second-placed Spaniard Jorge Martín, also on Ducati, albeit from the Pramac Racing satellite team, with Marco Bezzecchi in third place just 6 points behind the rider from San Sebastian de los Reyes.
Jorge Martín regretted what happened in the last meeting in Austria. The Spaniard reckons he missed a good chance to cut Bganaia’s points. He failed in qualifying and he was punished by starting from very far back in the race. He will have to take revenge in Barcelona to try to get a little closer to a Bagnaia that is among the many Ducatis on the grid (a total of 8 between the official team and three customer teams), which continues to be superior, is the best and most. constant.
It will also be an important weekend for Alex Márquez. He rides his Ducati from the Gresini team with more and more confidence and naturalness, where he has already earned his renewal. In Austria he was 4th in the sprint and 5th on Saturday. And in the previous race at Silverstone he achieved victory in the short sleeve on Saturday. In Catalonia he seems to have arrived in good condition to fight before his public.
It will be more difficult for his brother Marc, who missed this event last year. His Honda is still far away. He came off 12th on Sunday in Austria, his first points of the year. “You have to keep testing and get the situation back. In Montmeló, more. This will be the dynamic until you see me closer. At the moment, I see myself very far from those in front”, commented Marc Márquez
