Marc Márquez will return to the circuits at the Portugal Grand Prix.This same weekend we will have world octocampeón uploaded to its sling in search of recovering sensations, yes, but also something else: there is enough time for Márquez to be able to win the world title of 2021.
His 40 disadvantage points regarding Johann Zarco, the leader of the general, marks a border that is hardly survey: no one has ever traced 40 points of disadvantage in MotoGP to win the World Cup and no one has risen from two zeros in the first two races.It only passed when the worst results were ruled out, in the era of 500 cc.
Márquez has won four of his six MotoGP World Cups with enough advantage
Since Honda and from the surroundings of Márquez himself they have reiterated in many occasions that the Catalan pilot will take things easy, that he would not risk in his recovery, but we already know his character as a champion: if he looks strongly, he will attack From the beginning.And surely of sideways look at the World Cup classification.
Recovering 40 disadvantage points to win a MotoGP World Cup is unpublished, but Márquez was already in a very similar situation a few years ago and solved it in his favor.It was in 2017, when Maverick Viñales began as a plane on the Yamaha.He won the first two races, and Márquez fell into Argentina's.
After the two initial appointments of 2017 Márquez was 37 points below Viñales.In the end, he ended up winning the World Cup in the last race, but not even with vineyards as rival.It was Andrea Dovizioso, Ducati's pilot, who arrived in Valencia with mathematical options to steal the title to Márquez.
And this is a tonic in Márquez's career: winning the World Cups much in advance.In 2014, three races were left over, as in 2016 and 2018.In 2019 it was a step further and won the title in Thailand, still missing four races for the end.That is, up to four occasions of his six titles in MotoGP, races left over.
In addition, in his career he already has a much greater feat than what he needs this time, although he did not end in title.In 2011 Márquez cut 82 disadvantage points to Stefan Bradl in the Moto2 category.The Spanish pilot became leader, but then suffered an accident and the title was Brady.
The only historical example of a pilot who, without the scoring system for discarding results, has won the World Cup abandoning the first two races is Marco Simoncelli.The long -awaited Italian pilot did so in 2008 when he was proclaimed 250 cc world champion after not adding anything in Losail or Jerez.Simoncelli is the example to follow for Márquez.
