A rare occurrence during this season of MotoGPMarc Márquez didn't get off to the best of starts at the start of this sprint race in Aragon. Overtaken and demoted, the Spaniard had to elbow his way through the ranks with Pedro Acosta, literally, to avoid falling or losing even more positions.
To win, the World Championship leader had to change tactics. Far from the original plan, Márquez was nevertheless able to quickly catch up, even making an effective pass on his brother Álex Márquez to take the lead without having to wait indefinitely behind him. Satisfied, the day's winner appeared very calm about this mishap.
Ducati and Marquez maintain their series
"I started with a problem right from the start. I suffered some tire spin. I mainly tried to manage the situation without losing too many positions after that, he explained after the arrivalMy plan was to start in front from the start and get away, so I had to push harder than planned in the first few laps to avoid getting left behind. Then I just managed my rear tire and stayed calm. We'll see tomorrow if we can do the same, but today was perfect anyway."
Although the scenario wasn't ideal for him, such a look at his race once again suggests that Ducati's dominance isn't over in Aragon. By winning Saturday's sprint race, Marc Márquez continued his streak, allowing him to lead every session since the start of the weekend. In less than 24 hours, the world champion will try to win again and thus reconnect with his usual hegemony after a more contrasting weekend at Silverstone, without any success in Great Britain. A clean sweep confirmed this Sunday?
