We’ve been waiting for months for MotoGP 2020 to start and now we have two in Rebound Sherry… but who will win the MotoGP of Andalusia?
We have waited months for MotoGP 2020 to start and we have been disappointed by an exciting Spanish MotoGP that will be quickly forgotten.
A few days later, we are back once back in Jerez for the MotoGP of Andalusia, but will everything stay the same or will everything change?
Marc Marquez’s error-return-shock triumvirate could have swallowed the biggest percentage of starters on Sunday, but the day actually belonged to Fabio Quartararo and not Petronas SRT Yamaha.
While the young Frenchman’s victory was kept waiting, his victory, overwhelming in the end, was based on any of the tactics to verify what we expected and prevent the dreaded “second year sadness” from collapsing below expectations.
Almost encouragingly, this was done under the ghost of not being entirely satisfied with its new 2020 Yamaha M1, which is difficult to adapt to.
We go on Sunday, even though it is full of compliments for its new machines and if Yamaha itself may have counted the days until it celebrated its good fortune in blue, in fact, they represent the excitement of what is only their third victory in just over 12 months.
Today, Quartararo faces a new challenge … start over on the same circuit. It remains to be seen whether it simplifies things or increases the tension …
If some cyclists were happy with the paintings of their day on Sunday, many will appreciate the possibility of returning to the same track and making peace.
Beyond the foot injuries of Marc Marquez, Alex Rins and Cal Crutchlow, some of which may not compete this weekend, Suzuki will be willing to make a genuine 180 after not scoring when Joan Mir crashed early.
Meanwhile, Aprilia did not appear to be close to the speed it showed in pre-season testing, more punctual context performances through smart effects compared to its maximum direct equivalent KTM (see below).
Johann Zarco showed lightning in his most productive way, but in the end was disappointed by poor perseverance in qualifying, while Danilo Petrucci hoped that his nameless form could be explained by injuries sustained in the tests rather than the worried speed he showed. half the moment. 2019.
Meanwhile, Alex Marquez expects more than he achieved in his understated debut, especially since if his brother Marc Marquez and also Crutchlow are forced not to participate the weekend due to injury, he will be elevated to the rank of Honda’s top contenders.
One of the most discreet, but no less impressive, performances of the Spanish MotoGP weekend, the abundant step ahead of KTM.
Although the occasion did not give the most productive result of all time for the builder nor did he see any of the shots at the head of a lap in the sharp end of the time sheets that we have noticed above, pound by pound, the most productive race weekend of this KTM since its inception.
In addition, it is impressive in all areas. While a disjointed end lowered Pol Espargaró to sixth position through the checkered flag, KTM was discovered with a chance in the 3 most sensitive between some complete Yamaha and Ducati companies.
Meanwhile, Brad Binder was undoubtedly one of the weekend’s star performers. The South African in his deyet was a shadow for Espargaró at a difficult speed and was not satisfied with not sneaking into the Q2 at the outset of the demand, while running well in the ten most sensitive when a mistake knocked him down. Possibly it would be a rookie error, but then it’s a rookieArray..
Then there’s Miguel Oliveira, who surpassed a mediocre rating to sneak into the tenth most sensible heading for eighth place, matching his most productive MotoGP result and giving Tech 3 Racing a very positive start at the moment with KTM machines, while Iker Lecuona also heads to a more sensible 10 before his retirement.
With experience, the team will try this time to keep this promise really broad.
