• Circuits: The Spanish MotoGP is over: the four circuits will rotate from 2022

The sky of Alcañiz is clear, it is blue, blue, blue as far as the eye can see, and if it stays that way, if some clouds do not appear and fog the circuit, the forecast for this Sunday (13.00 hours, DAZN) can only be one : Marc Márquez will win. "A 20% chance of rain," said a Ducati mechanic in the paddock as a preach, but experts say nothing, that no umbrella will be needed. The MotoGP World Cup will be seen for sentencing in Thailand if there is no accident of Márquez or exaggerated, exaggerated surprise of some of its rivals.

Because dry the superiority of the current champion is so evident that this Saturday with a bad lap not only got the pole, he also did it with three hundredths advantage over the second, Fabio Quartararo . After mastering the training being a second faster than his opponents, in the classification was not brilliant and, despite this, he won. In his 122nd race in MotoGP he will start from the first position for the 61st time, an average of 50%.

"I expected a little more, the return has not finished me as I expected, but I am happy. Before qualifying, my team has already reminded me: the pole is worth the same with a tie that without it," said Márquez that He practically did not celebrate his achievement. In his mind, the same strategy that led him to victory in Argentina, Jerez or Montmeló and that, after all, brought him closer to the sixth MotoGP title: get away from the group in the first laps and avoid direct confrontation in the last.

Again Quartararo and Maverick Viñales will be the ones who try to hold their demarrage while the only rival who still aspires to the title, Andrea Dovizioso , will come from far behind. With Jack Miller, Aleix Espargaró and Valentino Rossi in the second row and Cal Crutchlow, Joan Mir and Franco Morbidelli in the third, the Italian will start in the fourth, in tenth position. Its only objective can only be the podium to try to postpone Marquez's at least one more race to Japan.
