The mid-season break in MotoGP is about to get over now, as the riders have already started gathering in Indianapolis, USA. That will host the 10th race of the 2014 season on this Sunday, Aug 10, 2014. Nearly all riders have taken the advantage of the break, as some have gone through different surgeries, while others took rest to recharge themselves for the rest of the season.
One of these riders is 21-year old Marc Marquez, who is the current MotoGP world champion and he has won all nine races in the first half of the season. Now the young Spaniard is looking to continue his perfect run by winning the 10th race in Indianapolis.
The Repsol Honda Team rider said on this Thursday that he has rested well and now he is eager to ride in the second half of the season at the famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway circuit. Marquez said that they had rested in the holidays one or more week but now they are all set to go in again. He also said that they are keen to ride again and to see the new layout of the Indianapolis circuit.
Marquez has already created a new history by becoming the youngest ever rider to win nine races in a row. That has enabled him to secure a perfect 225 points for his team and given him the number one position in the overall standings. Moreover, Marc has a solid lead of 77 points over the second position rider, Dani Pedrosa his teammate.
So now it has become almost impossible for any rider to snatch the number one position from Marquez during this season, even he fails to finish first in some the upcoming races. Still, his rivals are of the view that they need to stop him from winning so they can make themselves look little better.
As far as the changes in the Indianapolis circuit are concerned, riders will see some improvements in the track. These changes were made after last year’s race when the circuit was criticized for being too bumpy. Valentino Rossi, who has recently seen the Indy track said that there are big improvements, as lot of bumps are gone now and the surface is looking lot better than before.
Unluckily, MotoGP US fans would be able to see their favourite home boy, Nicky Hayden, racing at this weekend, as he still in the recovery process after receiving surgical treatment on his wrist. Expressing his grief, Hayden said that the surgical treatment went well, but he is annoyed over missing the home race.
