• Protagonist.Álex Márquez stars in the best 'saved' in history: "The virgin has come down"

Like any individual sport, motorcycling is, above all, a mental exercise. A rider needs boldness to compete at 350 km / h, talent and physique to run the motorcycle and even fortune to get out of the falls unharmed, but above all he needs an almost impossible psychological balance. How to risk life away from victory, opting only for a sixth, an eighth, a tenth place? Although it is a taboo subject in MotoGP, unlike in tennis or golf, the speed of a rider is decided under the helmet rather than the chassis and for that reason the current World Cup is not over. Marc Márquez is already champion, 15 days ago he celebrated his sixth title, but in the remaining four races he still has one goal: that his opponents know that next year will be the same.

Unlike other seasons, when his parties ended in falls for him and joys for Andrea Dovizioso or Maverick Viñales , this 2019 Márquez wants to complete the perfect championship and thus start winning the 2020 title. From here to the closing of the World Cup in Cheste , more dominance, more superiority, more triumphs. The first came this Sunday in Motegi, the circuit of his brand, Honda, like so many others this course: in the second round he already had a second advantage over his opponents and with that difference he remained until the goal. This time the young Fabio Quartararo prevented the great escape, maintained a certain distance throughout the test, but at no time was he able to discuss the victory.
