MotoGP: Is Marc Marquez’s reputation going against him after Alex Rins, Jorge Martin comments?
Since making his MotoGP return Marquez has already been in the thick of intense racing and in the case of Aragon, two big collisions with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Takaaki Nakagami.
While it’s hard to blame Marquez for either of𓃲 those incidents, the Repsol Honda rider was once again at the centre of discussion in what was his first race back since Muge🔯llo.
Mar꧟quez, who then produced two extremely good performances in Japan and Thailand, went one better in Australia as he claimed🥃 his first podium of the season and 100th in MotoGP.
But after the race both Rinsꦕ and Martin called the Spaniard’s ov♎ertaking ‘on the limit’, although Rins in particular said it was good racing.
"We respect each other. All the overta🦋kes were on the limit but in a good way," is what Rins said after the race, although Martin s𝓀aid he was ‘tired’ of Marquez’s moves.
Martin added: "There were some points where it was on the limit, that's for sure, because I was already on the insi🗹de, and I was losing another position. That's why I was tired of those manoe🌠uvres.
"But we all know what happened with this situation. I will try to be just as aggressive as the re꧂st for the future."
As we know, Marquez has been surrounded with plenty of controversy during his time in MotoGP - whether that’s fierce battles against 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valentino Rossi in Malaysia and Assen or with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Lorenzo in Jerez, just to name a few.
Then there’s also the more recent on track situations which have involved Marquez consisten🔴tly following other riders during practice and qualifying when needing a fast lap.&ꦏnbsp;
On several occasions Marquez has followed the likes of Joan Mir, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia during the last couple of seasons, which wa🅘s again highlighted with Bagnaia losing out on second place during Q2 at Phillip Island because of it.
However, racing throughout the field has been extremely tough and sometimes over the e🎉dge in 2022, wh𒅌ile there’s also no rule against seeking a tow in order to better your lap time or position.
It makes one w🌃onder if Marquez꧒'s reputation is leading to comments such as the ones provided above by Rins and Martin or if there are valid arguments being made.
On the face of it, Marquez was in stunning form at Phillip Island and his overtakes were just as spectacular to watch, but is that how his rivals view his racing, perhap🏅s not.
