MotoGP | Among the secrets of Marquez – Moto

His talent and the incredible feeling with his Honda have made Marc Marquez an almost unbeatable driver. With the eighth world title at just 26 years, the Spanish centaur is increasingly part of the history of world motorcycling, with his rivals who every year desperately try to find new ideas and solutions to beat him, also working on his own driving style.

The big difference that emerged this year with Jorge Lorenzo has further strengthened Marquez's value, even though some opinions in the paddock are convinced that Honda works almost exclusively for the number 93. To deny this idea a bit is Stefan Bradl, test driver for the Japanese company for several years: "Honda's interest is that the other riders are also competitive with his bike – declared the German rider in an interview with Speedweek, also trying to explain the driving characteristics needed by the RC213V – On the Honda you always have to use harder front wheels because both the bike and the style of the driver require it. We need to adapt to her, even if now less than two or three years ago. The Honda is built so that the front wheel is heavily loaded on the brake compared to the others ".

"Balancing pushes to have a greater load on the front, which in some demanding braking can lead to excessive rear wheel drive and, therefore, a waste of time – added Bradl – Marc is unique in the use of the rear brake, while I don't understand why Jorge and Cal don't use it in right-handed curves ”. The inability to drive like Marquez prompted Lorenzo to retire as Michele Pirro pointed to Sky Sport MotoGP: "Jorge recently at the Misano test told me that in Ducati Dovizioso was a reference to his reach, while Marquez was unreachable. As soon as he tried to push and drive like Marquez ran into a fall. After those words I realized that without the possibility of returning to Ducati he would have thought of retiring ”.
