Not everything had been seen in Marc Márquez’s victory in the Qatar of MotoGP. Ducati’s ‘inside’ (from within) leaves unpublished scenes, with juicy conversations to summarize another career with an overwhelming domain of Burgo Panigale’s house.
On Thursday, we are shown the ‘Meeting’ of the ‘Rossa’ squad. In him, Marc admits his mistake in Austin: “I was slower and I have to go to the attack” and advance how he hopes to go in Lusail. “It is a clue where we do not have to get so stuck with the configuration, because I, little by little, I will be stronger. If we start making changes since the first free … I finish the weekend with the same motorcycle with which I started. It has happened to me many times on this type of track. In the end, it is I who have to work and work to arrive,” he confesses. Manuel Poggiali, the ‘coach’ or assistant on track, makes an observation: “You are going out on the outside in curve 4, a little as happened with the 8 in Thailand.”
The Sanmarinense explains his work and why he has decided to put a camera in 7-8 curves. He also placed another in 12, to see the entrance and exit of that angle. Then, talk to the octocampeon. “Any great difficulty?” 93 is explained. “In curve 3, some laps was constant; in others, no. When you cut, the motorcycle moves; when not short, the exit is very clean,” he replicates. The Cervera already warns the media: “If I win in Qatar, something is happening.”
On Saturday the two sides of the currency are lived: Marc makes the pole and Pecco is eleventh after falling. Cristian Gabarrini, his coach, dialogues with Bagnaia. “Keep in mind that when you went on track, you had two and a half kilos of fuel.” The Turin answers: “It’s different, we already know it’s different, but this time I don’t know.”
The eldest of the Márquez explains to his technicians his turn. “I did a strong, but not perfect return. I did the pole in 2014,” he says. “Yes, in 2014 you won a lot,” Marco Rigamonti, his mechanical manager, replicates. “I am very happy,” says Marc talking about the camera. In the Sprint, Leridano and Pecco wins he is eighth.
Euphoria
On Sunday, Marc has a special visit: Joselu, the football player, to whom he details aspects about his trade. “The boots are never new, these are yesterday’s, even has the friction,” he says. “The important thing will be as comfortable as possible,” says the footballer. In the race, Catalan is imposed, with the Italian, third, although he was second after the sanction of Viñales.
Tardazzi, the team leader, hugs with Gemma, Marc’s girlfriend, who arrives euphoric to the corralito. “Qatar you like it,” Gigi Dall’igna releases him. “I have managed it, I have managed it,” Marc releases, talking about his strategy.
The CEO of Ducati Cors yields to its quality … already that of Bagnaia. “Making two fast laps, as he has done at the end, means that he had something saved. I think he managed the race. He was truly brave and intelligent. Pecco, apart from the comeback, had a difficult day yesterday, has demonstrated the character he has, that only the champions have,” he says.
The video captures a conversation between the brothers commenting ‘The play’. “The first curve, I have been. I have accelerated and it has closed a bit,” Marc a Álex admits, who replies: “I only saw you move.” The Gresini tells his action with ‘Diggia’ to Pecco: “It has been my mistake.”
The Turin, something counter, explains to the media his frustration for advancing on Sundays and suffering on Saturdays. He is applauded in his garage. “Bravo, Pecco,” summarizes Gigi.
The party arrives with Marc and its trophy. “Great work,” says Dall’igna. And the already classic sounds: ‘Marc is on fire’. Morbidelli arrives and gives Bagnaia the second trophy, for the penalty of Maverick. Everything ends with the group photos between shouts. Your domain has no end.
