Marc and Álex Márquez were once again the protagonists at the Argentine Grand Prix and once again on Sunday the youngest of the clan was even at the front of the race, but in the end the victory belonged to Marc. Rúben Xaus believes that the Ducati Lenovo Team rider had something more, but that he came close to crashing before that. And what he expected this year isn’t happening.
The former rider who contributes to the Dura La Vita podcast remains a faithful follower of MotoGP and on the programme, quoted by Motosan, he spoke about Marc Márquez’s supremacy at Termas de Río Hondo, even if it was without some potentially damaging moments for the #93:
– The last five laps at fast lap pace. Marc had something. We’re talking about this, but halfway through the race, when Álex was pulling away, Marc came close to going down, but very close. If he had made a mistake chasing his brother, it would have changed the film.
And Marc spoke right at the end, once again, about how surprised he is by Álex’s pace and riding, with Xaus recalling those words, without forgetting that more is expected… from Pecco Bagnaia: ‘Marc said it: that his brother was going very fast. He has something more when he applies himself, but Alex is very fast. For me, the script for the year isn’t being fulfilled, it’s Álex who has sprung the surprise, Pecco was expected to be up there’.
