This time it was all him. At Misano, an incredible win came from ninth place on the grid, in a race where everything happened and one in which Marc Marquez is the shiniest of stars aboard a Desmosedici machine. A superb performance that brings the Spaniard back to a 53-point gap to the lead and 46 points away from Bagnaia in second.
Alex Marquez also had a great race as he ran out of strength in a GP characterised by scorching and humid conditions. One little scary moment at the end of the race due to a drop of his physical conditions, but the number 73 was still sixth at the chequered flag.
1st – MARC MARQUEZ #93
“Those rain drops helped a lot… Maybe Fausto looked down and gave us a helping hand. I thought I had nothing to lose and gave it all. Honestly, I would have never got back to the pits to change the bike, and surely not that soon. Had it rained for a couple of more laps then maybe… but I chose to follow the instincts of the home riders who stayed out. I can’t say if it’s an open championship again, but we want to continue looking for consistency.”
6th – ALEX MARQUEZ #73
“It was a very tough race on physically speaking and I took a hit. We brought home a good result but towards the end I was really at my limit. The good thing is that we feel good and I’d like to congratulate my brother. Tomorrow we’ll be back on track to work on the next event, again taking place here.”
