“Marc is not the same as before, but he doesn’t need it either”
This phrase comes from Andrea Dovizioso, Marc Márquez’s former greatest rival, the MotoGP world runner-up in 2017, 2018 and 2019, seasons he finished behind Márquez. We spoke to Andrea at Misano and asked him if in his opinion, given Márquez’s three victories in the last four races, Marc is ready to string together victories like he did before his serious humerus injury. “Not yet, but not far. Marc is not the same as before, but he doesn’t need to be either.” As a factory Ducati rider for eight years, we also asked him what he expects from the future of the Bagnaia/Márquez pairing in that garage. “Márquez will be difficult, because Pecco is at a very high level, he has been a good driver. In my opinion, Marc’s choices depend on the relationship he manages to establish with the engineers. They are the ones who can give you that. I refer to the details that, as MotoGP, are the ones that can be decisive.”… Interesting reflection.
Pecco Bagnaia tightened the rope; and Marc is hiding
The Italian driver set a new record today, Friday, at Misano. The fact of having raced in this same setting two weekends ago and having a full day of free practice next Monday, means that the riders and bikes come to the Emilia-Romagna GP this weekend more tuned than a Stradivarius. As said, Bagnaia set a new record; Martín set his fastest lap ever at Misano; Enea Bastianini, the fourth man in the fight for the title, crashed trying not to be left behind; Meanwhile, Marc Márquez remains alert and the others watch him from the corner of their eyes… Tomorrow Misano will be high fire risk territory.
Oh if it wasn’t for the Murcian!
Six Ducatis, two Aprilias, a Yamaha and Pedro Acosta’s Gas Gas signed up this afternoon for direct passage to tomorrow’s Q2. Once again, the rookie from Murcia came to the rescue of the Austrian brand -GasGas and KTM belong to the same group-, which despite the deployment of resources shown in the tests ten days ago, has not yet found of the way back to the promise. early season results. During the tests, it was said that with the help of Dani Pedrosa they worked very well in three areas: the evolutions of the immediate application, the medium-term ones that will be introduced throughout the rest of the season, and the development of the bikes . I don’t know if it was due to his teammates not showing up or for some other reason, but the ‘immediate package’ today saved face thanks to Pedro Acosta. And he did it with great difficulty, because to advance to Q2 the one from Mazarrón had to add a new fall… And they were 18th in 13 GGPP.
