From one myth to another. From Marc Márquez to Ángel Nieto. The two are now at the same height, after another Marc exhibition to reach the four of four in triumphs this season and get to ninety World Cup victories that the father of Spanish motorcycling achieved. The first thing he did when crossing the goal was to point to his Brother Alex, Recognize the road he had made, and then stopped to place him A laurel crown, in memory of those who put the great angel when he climbed those Black and white podiums. «I dedicate it to him and his whole family. It has been and is a very important person in motorcycling, opened the doors To all of us who came behind, ”said Marc Márquez about Angel, which he remembered pointing to the sky and also making a spectacular career, a little Nieto’s style: enduring back to the end give the definitive ax.
The script was not the expected even for the “93”, which wanted to escape, but what did not change was the outcome. Because in the absence of five laps, after almost all the time behind Álex, He released the brakes in curve 5 And he set ahead. Until that time he had remained on the wheel of his little brother, who was closer than ever to get his first victory in a MotoGP Sunday race. You already know what it is to win a sprint, But he has the long one. In Argentina he did not get it, although everything was close to being with a bug like his brother in the state in which he is.
He pressed with all Álex and put his older brother against the strings. Or at least that seemed, because he was close to going to the ground several times. He even acknowledged that at some point he thought that a second place could be fine, and more With his “bro” right ahead and with Bagnaia fourth, outside the podium.

I want to enjoy the moment, ”he continued, in Dazn, Alex, right now the only one who can plant something for the leader.
And the leader is Marc, who has linked Dos “Hat Tricks” consecutive of “pole”, fast return and victory On Sunday. The best sign that things go where he wanted, although he tries to put his feet on the floor. «We have made a perfect weekend again. This is not normal, How it is not to be on the podium with your hemanly. You have to be happy and think that difficult moments will come, ”explained the number« 93 ». «Everything has not been controlled here, Alex has been very fast, I almost fell three times, he has had to force more than the account. The plan was to lead the entire race, but it could not be. I knew that in curve five I could advance it and there I have done it, ”added Marc, who becomes the third pilot of the whole story with the most victories in the World Cup, tied to ninety with Ángel Nieto and only behind Valentino Rossi and of Giacomo Agostini, with 115 and 122, respectively ..
