With every victory reigning MotoGP World Champion Marc Marquez is creating a new history. It can be judged from the fact that last Sunday he won his 10th Grand Prix in a row and equalled the record of former Repsol Honda Mick Doohan. The triumph at Indianapolis circuit also made Marquez the first rider after Giacomo Agostini (1970) to win opening 10 races in a season. As a result, more and more people are now talking about a perfect sweep in all 18 races and the latest addition to this list is none other than Doohan himself. The former great rider of Honda has said that it is highly likely that Marquez will create history by winning all the races of the 2014 season.
However, Marc himself does not believe that he could do it, as he said that it’s ‘so difficult’. The 21-year old Spaniard said during a press meeting when he was asked to summarize his success that every weekend he thinks that perhaps now the time has arrived that he would end up crossing the line in second or third place. Here is the time when I will struggle, but luckily with every race he is feeling more strong, said Marquez.
According to Marquez the most import thing is that he is enjoying it and as we have seen his team enjoy each victory as if it’s their first one, which keeps their concentration and motivation going. However, it’s very tough to win every round, said Marc. He also said that Both Yamaha riders were quite close to him in Indianapolis and next two tracks in Brno and Silverstone are the ones where they struggled during last year, whereas Yamaha was quite strong. Nevertheless, there first aim is to win the race obviously, said the Spanish sensation.
Marc is now just two wins away from equalling the all-time 12 victories record of Doohan during a season, which he set back in 1997. Considering all the uncertainties and in the light of conservative estimate one can say that there is a high probability that Marquez can break this record. So MotoGP fans are now excitedly waiting for the next rounds of the 2014 season.
As far as Marquez’s latest triumph is concerned, he won it in a familiar fashion. He got of to a slow start before capitalizing on his position and eventually making the move that allowed him to lead all the riders until he crossed the chequered flag.
Expressing his thoughts on the race, Marc said that the skirmish at the beginning was very thrilling and as always he did not get a good start. According to him the track had a very high temperature that changed his feeling regarding the front tyre. At that point in time, he said to himself let’s stay behind Valentino Rossi in the first ten laps of the race.
Then at lap 11 Marquez did what he is best at. He crafted a spontaneous move that put him in the lead right away. The Repsol Honda rider was looking to defend his second position from Jorge Lorenzo at one point in lap 11. However, in the next moment he went a little wide and outstripped both Lorenzo and Rossi in one go. After which the Spaniard never looked back and crossed the finish line well before the Yamaha pair, as he outshined them with a big margin of 1.8 sec.
Marquez has now earned a perfect 250 points with his 10th victory and he has further extended his championship lead over second positioned Dani Pedrosa, who had a slight off-day at Indianapolis.
