The Japanese MotoGP factory teams are living into their annus horribilis now 2022. In addition to the panic of Suzuki, who will leave the competition at the end of this season, adds to the serious crisis of the results of two compatriots Honda and Yamaha already in the Sachsenring and Assen, respectively, fell by not scoring points for the first time in years. ‘Márquezdependencia’ and ‘Quartararodependencia’ respectively benefit.
In particular, the 40-year streak broken at the Sachsenring by consecutive races that scored points for Honda riders, a consecutive 633 consecutive premier class races, from Jarama’1982 to Catalunya’2022, a streak that was cut two weeks ago precisely in one of his fief friends. The last time Honda failed to score in a premier class race was at the French GP in Nogaro in 1982 and this was because the gold wing factory decided to boycott this event due to lack of safety.
And this Sunday Yamaha broke a consecutive 33-year mark in the first class. If at Honda Marc Márquez’s hopes are entirely due to the emergence of champion from Cervera in the Yamaha category they are making the same mistake, in their case with current category champion Fabio Quartararo, which they are overly hopeful. terms of results.
This Sunday he signed his first zero of the year after two falls, in the first he preceded Aleix Espargaró, whom he removed from the track, and in the second he hit a great punch due to a breakdown in traction control. The fourth zero of the year added his teammate Franco Morbidelli also due to a crash, the same fate that befell rookie Darryn Binder in the same lap and only Andrea Dovizioso finished in 16th place, 29 “771 behind of the winner and nearly 4 “behind the driver. who preceded him, Alex Marquez.
As was the case with Honda in Germany, Yamaha also broke its streak of 544 consecutive races in the Netherlands, scoring points -from Hockenheim’1989 to Sacsenring’2022- on a friendly circuit like Assen where in 2021 Quartararo and Viñales signed a double. The last time they were left without a point was in Misano’1998, a Grand Prix of Nations, which was rotated by official drivers and only 10 drivers competed.
