Marc Márquez but he likes to compete on the limit and launch a new challenge every day. After the fall that bitter him on Saturday, when he already secured his championship point from here to two weeks, the Octocampeón got up with a portentous performance to take the victory in the San Marino GP ahead of a corrected Marco Bezzecchi and leave the alirón seen for sentence in the next appointment. It will be at the Japan GP, on September 28, when the Spanish pilot will have the opportunity to close his impressive season of reconquest in MotoGP. To achieve this, they will only need to scratch three more points to his brother Alex, third classified more than seven seconds in Misano, something that
The leader of the contest, who emerges from the Italian test with the record of points in a single season – 512 for Martín’s 508 last year – and needs to leave Motegi with 185 to add his ninth World Cup crown, the seventh in the queen category. That figure will match titles with Valentino Rossi, one of the illustrious members of the brand -new MotoGP Hall, opened this weekend in Rimini and present in his house circuit.
Márquez did not wrinkle despite the mistake made in the sprint and tried to emulate Saturday’s script this Sunday. He came out like a rocket from the fourth place on the grill and in the first curve he was zampó to the Yamaha de Fabio Quartararo and the Ducati of his brother Álex Márquez, this time with an overtaking abroad. Then a frantic persecution began to the poleman Bezzecchi, who has already been demonstrating his most rebellious enemy this year despite bending in points in the table. The Italian of Aprilia, born minutes of the layout, endured with determination the rush of the next world champion, with a more nervous machine than the Ducati, much more stable and soft in the rapid linked of the circuit.
Marc’s truce’s persecution paid off in Tour 12, near Ecuador of the Grand Prix, when Bez went long in curve eight and opened the lead door. The 93 inherited it and both invested the papers, so to the limit that the third in discord, an Álex brain, did not want to play more than the account to ensure a key podium in their battle for proclaiming a runner -up of the world and the best mortals. The extraterrestrial with the same surnames did not wrinkle and linked several fast laps in the final stretch to try to break the resistance of the home kid, which did not say enough until the last turn.
Always less than half a second, doing the rubber, the pressure of both was very high, in a race without advances, but a tremendous tension. Bez threatened with his quick return to four from the end, but Márquez’s response was overwhelming, lowering her one more tenth (1: 31.2) just three from the end. The merit of both is that none exceeded the limits and ended by the soils in a delicate day with up to eight falls of the competitors. Who did offer precious overtaking in Misano was Murcia Pedro Acosta, who ended up making the comb to his KTM when he left him lying on the eighth round. After leaving ninth, the Spaniard already rolled fourth, but a chain break truncated his assault on the podium.
Worse was the fall of Pecco Bagnaia, which once again stressed its most raw moment as a professional in MotoGP. Unable to replicate the performance of his garage partner and future champion, the Turin left to see the bulls from the barrier with his lost look, and later he could barely contain the tears in the garage. On the other side, in a season of contrasts for the factory that marks the passage on MotoGP, Marc Márquez celebrated the eleventh victory of his brilliant campaign. A five years later, and sacrifice, the ninth crown that has been chasing from its very hard fall in the GP of Spain of 2020, which changed its history forever.
