Two schools of thought. Marquez? It will take time, given the fear of not getting better, given the 9 months of rest, it will be prudent for a while. Marquez? I will go fast immediately, given the talent, the character, the desire. It will be a fury, right from the first race.
Maybe, in Portimao, we will have a mediation between these extreme hypotheses, even if a track phenomenon remains phenomenal even after a serious accident. Meanwhile, the landscape has changed. Some ambitious youngsters had time to make mistakes and mature, from Quartararo to Mir, while Honda, having lost Marquez, got lost in the outskirts of the GPs. Enough to make this return memorable anyway. Marc has the opportunity to downsize those who seemed ready so far, to change the hierarchies; has the opportunity to close the debate on the impact of the rider, bringing an otherwise losing bike back to the top. Or, less likely, it can manifest unprecedented difficulties, transforming a resurrection into an ordeal.
In Marquez’s head the idea of putting in Valentino closet, the man who forced him into a decentralized position, on the track before, always on the front of popularity, we believe remains an obsession. He has won 8 titles, he can’t wait to get even with Rossi and overcome him.
It is singular that his return coincides with Vale’s most difficult moment, while boys who resemble the very young Marc are beginning to emerge. Jorge Martin, born in 1998, on pole in Doha, a rookie in MotoGP and, above all, Raul Fernandez, class 2000, protagonist in Moto2, an iradiddio according to the most competent observers. Marquez has done the impossible to put a generational change on the track and finds a generation willing to do anything to make its way against him. Haste carried him into the firmament; for too much haste it jammed. It is unlikely that it has changed. Return to take back the kingdom. a guy who can’t wait and wait any longer just can’t.
