Everyone is talking about Cheste in Sepang

Bagnaia put his foot on the wall. “Even if it costs me the title, I will not race in Valencia.” That’s how strong Pecco Bagnaia was when he was told the possibility of finally running in the final race of the season in Valencia. “I really hope that out of ethics, in consideration of what has happened and what continues to happen, they realize that it is not the right thing to do. And even if it’s at the cost of losing what is my ultimate goal, getting the title, I’m not ready to race in Valencia. These words from Bagnaia correspond to the statement that, a few hours before, Davide Tardozi made on Italian television. “In Italy, in my region, we suffered two floods in 13 months and I know what the result means. I experienced how mud becomes cement when it dries and how it becomes hell to remove it.. .And in Italy it’s ten or twenty times less intense than it was in Valencia. “I can’t imagine we’re going to race there in a GP.”

“Neither in Valencia, nor in Barcelona, ​​​​​​or in Alcañiz, nor in Jerez… the last race in Spain should not be run”, Pedro Acosta. If Pecco Bagnaia has been emphatic about the prospect of running in the final championship race at Valencia, Acosta is no less so. “I don’t think it’s logical to race in Valencia now. But not because of what happened, but because of what’s going on. It’s not because DANA is gone and everything is fine. It’s not logical to go. I think, it should not be due to Valencia, Jerez, Aragón or Montmeló, because it means leaving the show to put it somewhere else in Spain. I am of the opinion that this race should be held outside Spain… I repeat, I don’t see the logic of running in Valencia.”

“If we talk about help, let’s be clear: the championship receives payment from the circuits for going there, because that payment can go to families,” Marc Márquez. “I continued what I said yesterday,” said Márquez after learning of Pecco’s statements. “Thinking about whether to do it or not, or thinking about allocating resources to a circuit at this moment, is not ethically correct. For me the only feeling is that doing the GP in Valencia is will have, even in two, three or four weeks, is to help those people. And helping means helping financially, because otherwise you can’t help. There is talk that makes the economy work, activate what! It wasn’t deactivated because there was no economy, it was because there wasn’t economically there. If we talk about help, let’s be clear: the championship receives payment from the circuits for going there, because that payment can go to the families.”

Sepang, the circuit is ‘not very’ friendly to Marc Márquez. All drivers have circuits marked in red and circuits marked in green marked on the calendar. Greens are the good ones here, where they are ‘forced’ to score a good number of points; The red ones, on the other hand, are the ones that should be overcome as much as possible as if it were an ‘undesirable’ method.

And for Marc Márquez this Sepang is one of the red circuits. He was red-hot in Moto2, where he suffered a fall that caused diplopia and a year later another fall complicated the title he would finally win. In his twelve years in MotoGP he won ‘only’ twice, a completely unusual record for Marc And now, Marc’s lack of feeling at Sepang has once again become apparent. Tenth in the qualifying session, he entered Q2 directly by the skin of his teeth.

And where is the difficulty of Sepang for Super Marquez to suffer more than necessary? Well, it has a lot to do with the fact that the most important curve on the circuit is on the right, the ‘Achilles Heel of Márquez’. The same reason why Montmeló is another ‘red circuit’ of Marc “Finishing fifth here is a reasonable result,” he said after seeing his level of competitiveness today… Yes, yes, but does anyone believe na Marc Are you going to settle for finishing. fifth?
