There victory Of Marc Marquez in the Sprint race (the eighth out of nine played, only a Silverstone It came second) no longer makes news. But it has a special flavor having conquered it to Mugellofiefdom of his teammate Francesco Bagnaiaafter a nothing but brilliant departure from pole (100/A in his career) who forced him to chase his brother Alex And Peach.
There sprint He lived moments of great emotion And adrenaline When on the second lap the three in the head, Marc, Alex And Peachthey found themselves practically appeared before facing the curve San Donatothe one at the bottom of the main straight. There i pilots come around 350 km per hour and, relying on their powerful Brembo brakestravel the curve at 90 per hour. No less are the two ‘they’ subsequent And that’s right that Marquez Senior He soon took the command. The rest has become ordinary administration, with Alex behind and Wetafflicted by the usual problems of insertion in the cornerforced to settle for the third place.

The problem when departing with the launch control? It was my mistake that I then camouflaged, I pressed the The starting system buttonI thought it was not inserted and I pressed it again, but when I gave gas I saw that it was not inserted. Then I thought the best option was to crush the button With the right and restore gas, even if at that point I would have taken late compared to the others ».
