Marc Márquez needs a World comeback … which he has done other times | MotoGP

Marc Márquez is back and ready to give everything to win the title. The ilerdense has before him a difficult task to overcome two initial zeros, something that only two pilots in history have achieved so far: Geoff Duke, in 1951, and Umberto Masetti, in 1952. Difficult but not impossible challenge for Cervera who He will have to overcome 40 points, something he already achieved in 2017 and with less margin, that season he rallied 37 points to Maverick Viñales in 12 races. Marc had 68 points in the first six grands prix for Mack’s 105. The World Cup was very uphill after the two zeros in Argentina and France. It seemed that Márquez was sinking but then he took out all the artillery and turned the situation around, to end up adding what would be his fourth MotoGP title. The comeback began in Montmeló with a second place. From there he would only get off the podium twice (he did not finish at Silverstone and was fourth at Sepang) to end up being champion. The truth is that the precedent is not worth much to the Spanish since at that time he only counted his five best results of the eight tests. With the current scoring system, only Marco Simoncelli in the 250cc in 2008 has been able to recover from two initial zeros and win at the end of the season. The number 93 is coming back! Remember his win from the back of the grid in the 2010 125cc #PortugueseGP? ⏪ Who’s ready to see @ marcmarquez93 back on a Grand Prix bike where he belongs ?! 🙌 # MarcReturns pic.twitter.com/UbRzrHfr4o – MotoGP ™ 🏁 (@MotoGP) April 10, 2021 The Repsol Honda rider is a true specialist in comebacks. In fact, when he was injured in Jerez he was starring in another historic comeback. Since then he has not been able to compete again.In his absence Joan Mir took the title, although now it is Johann Zarco who occupies the lead with 40 points after his two second places in the first two rounds of the season held in Qatar. 17 races remain until the end of this season and seen what was seen in Losail is going to be very even. Márquez will not have it easy at all. He doesn’t have much room for error if he wants to match Valentino Rossi for his seventh title. He also comes from a long season without competing, which would make the feat even greater if he succeeded. Marquez gained 82 points in 2011 In the paddock the news has been very well received and despite the fact that Zarco is the leader of the World Cup, the rival to beat is that of Cervera. Marc has shown over the years that he is the strongest rider on the grid, as reflected in his six titles. However, he has never had to face a start like this in the premier class but he did in Moto2 in 2011, tracing 82 points to Stefan Bradl. I’M VERY HAPPY! Yesterday I visited the doctors and they gave me the green light to return to competition. It has been 9 difficult months, with moments of uncertainties and ups and downs, and now, finally, I will be able to enjoy my passion again! See you next week in Portimao !! 😁😁✊🏼 pic.twitter.com/Z9Wqn0PEjD – Marc Márquez (@ marcmarquez93) April 10, 2021 That year he retired in the first two races in Qatar and Jerez and did not score in Portugal, that is, he started with three zeros. He then responded by winning in France and being second in Catalonia, although in Great Britain, the sixth round of the championship, he again added another zero.Even so, Márquez rowed and fought until the end and even finished the comeback, leading by one point after Japan, but an injury caused by the fall in free practice at the Malaysian Grand Prix, the penultimate of the season, prevented him from playing. that test and wiped out all his options. Marc had accomplished the impossible before he got there. At that time, he was second to three points behind the leader, Stefan Bradl, who had managed to overcome two races earlier in the Japanese GP after coming back from an 82 point deficit, arriving in Australia as the leader, a point higher than he is today. his partner at Honda (235 to 234). There the Spaniard finished third, just behind Bradl, second. However, the blow received in Malaysia was very hard and prevented him from participating in the last two rounds of the championship (Sepang and Valencia), thus leaving him without title options. Márquez never gives up and wants to get rid of that thorn by achieving one of the few feats that are missing from his extensive record.
