Valentino Rossi secures a victory at his home

Posted On : 13-11-2014

For second time in the seasons, Marc Marquez has lost a race, and this time, as well as in the race that lost against Dani Pedrosa. Marc Marquez was outside the box. He managed to salvage one point barely after biting the dust. Seems like Marc Marquez is a switch, is either ON or OFF. Unluckily for its rivals, he is almost ON. This race was more important than it looks, if Marc Marquez would have won this race it would have been very easy for him to proclaim itself as MotoGP champion of 2014 in the next race on Spain, the beautiful circuit of Alcañiz.

 


The race on MotoGP in Misano started being ruled by the Yamaha Factory Racing. Jorge Lorenzo did a pole position, and Marquez could only secure a fourth position but soon found himself under attack all its rivals, as well as Marc Marquez, who rushed to catch up with the runaway Yamaha as usual.

At the ninth lap Marc Marquez slipped on the brake, while he was pursuing pursuing 9 times world champion Valentino Rossi, he opened wide and finished up in the gravel, dropping the bike. Marc Marquez return the bike to life (with the help of marshals who patiently waited to by the entire peloton rode) but it took nearly half a minute. Marc Marquez returned to action last, behind the leader by more than 50 seconds. He managed to get to the finish and even earned 1 point, becoming the 15th. A difficult race for Marc Marquez

 

 

 

Meanwhile, Valentino Rossi continued his free flight to a home victory, Jorge Lorenzo was at the finish line 1.5 seconds behind, the second and the last prize position went to Dani Pedrosa, who for a long time he could not shake off the tail pilots Ducati - Andrea Dovizioso and Andrea Iannone. That have been occupying the second and third row on almost the entire championship, no doubt very good results for the Ducati factory.

So, everything has been done so that Marquez was unable to catch up with Giacomo Agostini that made 12 wins in a single season and become a double champion MotoGP in Aragon, in two weeks. Pedrosa, went up to the podium, instantly close the gap to the leader of the season on 16 points, while Rossi approached him on 25 Thus, Rossi significantly reduced the gap between Pedrosa and will now qualify for the 2nd position in the championship. As we have been saying since we started this weekly articles, Marc Marquez will be champion of the MotoGP championship of 2015, but who will finish second? Will it be a "resurrected" Valentino Rossi? Or the second man of Honda, Dani Pedrosa, will make another year of being on second place? Time will time, Valentino Rossi has been slowly but surely reducing its gap this late races, so we will see.

 


Winning house Valentino Rossi crossed the mark of 5000 earned points in his career, but more importantly, he became the first winner of the season MotoGP 2014 on a motorcycle other than Honda.
