MotoGP in Germany
I think I said too fast that it would be a perfect Yamaha-circuit. Marc Marquez was outshining in the qualifications. He even broke the lap record! He was followed by Dani Pedrosa and Bradl. You see, top 3 is completely taking by Honda. Only than came the Yamaha riders Lorenzo and Rossi.
The start was already pretty hectic. Most of the riders started from the pits because they changed bikes on the last moment. For instance: Marquez, Rossi, Lorenzo, Pedrosa, Crutchlow and Bradl.
Marc came back really fast but he was less fluent passing Bradl.
He eventually took the lead, with Pedrosa on his heels. Pedrosa drove the fastest lap three times, but apparently Marquez couldn't live with that so he improved time, time after time, lap after lap.
Rossi came back slowly but surely, closely followed by Lorenzo. Lorenzo could pass Rossi, who wasn't able to fight back. Rossi was constantly chased by Iannone. Iannone wanted to pass Rossi but The Doctor had at any attempt an answer.
In the mean time, somewhere else, there where battles fought! Between Marquez and Pedrosa, but also battle for the 6th place. A fight between Espargaro, Dovizioso and Crutchlow. It wasn't easy to pass on the right track, but eventually Espargaro managed to let the other two behind.
But to come back to the Marquez-Pedrosa fight: Pedrosa didn't give up very quickly. In some turns it was very close but Marc took, like we know him, the necessary risks, and to them he owes his victory.
With his 9/9, Marc Marquez is the Youngest MotoGp rider/champion who broke the World Record from 1964. Of course, such victory could not simply be ignored. A wheely and his extensive resignation to his fans. Even a little smoke-show. And not to forget: The Teampicture with the raised fingers. I wonder what they will do with 11/11.
Marquez is, up to now, the unsurpassed man of the season! Now they can enjoy a well-deserved break. You can read more about this in my next article.
