Toby Moody: could Marquez be bad for MotoGP?
As TOBY MOODY marvels at Marc Marquez and Honda's Brno performance, he wonders whether MotoGP is in danger of entering a predictable 'Schumacher era'
Lost for words.
Marc Marquez wins four on the trot while HRC team mate and still-not-100-per-cent-fit Dani Pedrosa beats Jorge Lorenzo into third. 'Mr Corner Speed' on the king-of-corner-speed Yamaha couldn't win at corner-speed-critical Brno, proving that whatever Honda has found in the flyaway races to the USA it was worth more than Beverly Hills. That plus HRC has turned its own wick up to 9.5 (as it usually does at Brno) for the thrash to Valencia.
If ever we needed a reminder of how good HRC was in the latter part of 2013, it was the Brno performance - its fourth 1-2 finish of the year. The look on the Yamaha faces after the race not only reflected their defeat, but that even if they won a race in the remainder of 2013 how it almost wouldn't matter, such is the lead of Marquez over Lorenzo.
