How good equality has been for Marc Márquez reigning The driver from Cervera put on a real display on his return to the top category, going from last place to sixth in the Texas race. On the back of his Honda, the eight-time world champion overtook 18 riders on the track including defending champion Fabio Quartararo. The message is crystal clear to everyone: the King is back.
Márquez admitted that this race has filled him with confidenceand that the World Cup is far from impossible. The rider demanded improvements from Honda as soon as he got off the bike and also confessed that his comeback could have been greater if he had not suffered pain in the last six laps of the race. Marc does not hide that he has ambition and desire to put the World Cup in its place after two years of misgovernance.
At the moment Marquez adds 21 points for the 61 presented by the leader Enea Bastianini. The Italian is capable of the best and the worst after having won two races this season and having punctured in two others with a tenth and another eleventh place. Marc knows that his rivals are not far away for the number of races remaining and that it will be a matter of time to be able to reach them as long as his health respects him. “I’ve tried not to fall,” she acknowledged of the weekend in Texas.
The general introduces us to a Suzuki that add 56 points with Alex Rins and 46 with Joan Mir as main obstacles of a Márquez who dreams of equaling Valentino Rossi’s nine World Cups. The Spaniard knows that in two weeks at the Portuguese Grand Prix he will have the opportunity to confirm the good omens. The start of the European season with races in Jerez and Montmeló should benefit him to close the gap with his rivals.
After suffering a very serious injury to his humerus two years ago in Jerez, after suffering from double vision and spending more time on the ground than on the track, the time for the return of the King seems to have come. MotoGP trembles before the rebirth of a Marc Márquez whom many discarded due to his many problems. Now, without a clear dominator, the category waits for the boss to put things back in their place.
