The Márquez brothers live a few nervous days, perhaps the most nervous days of their lives, because they are close to fulfilling their shared dream and finally running together in MotoGP and even on the same team, the Repsol Honda. "I'm not 100% calm," acknowledged little Alex before Marc admitted that he also lacked concentration. After celebrating their respective titles in Cervera, in Cheste's paddock they went to Sunday more events than usual, they were everywhere, and wherever they went they were asked about the same.

"I have no news," said Alex about his possible signing, although privately Honda and his representative, Emilio Alzamora , admitted the proximity. None of the two brothers were questioned about the last race of the year, already inconsequential, and pure entertainment, but on the asphalt they both demonstrated their character.

In Moto2, Álex Márquez, who needs everything in order, a mathematical pilot, rested, studious, lived the worst race of the season, fought just for being fifth and finally ended up on the ground. And in MotoGP, on the other hand, Marc Márquez, who is fast in any circumstance, has his mind where he has it, went back to placing himself first, escaped and closed his twelfth victory of the season.

It was the definitive exhibition of the eldest of the Márquez brothers, the nth demonstration of his preeminence in the World Cup. Despite everything that surrounds him these days, he deconcentrated at the start and discovered sixth in the first corner, little by little he recovered positions and, at the equator of the test, already sentenced it. He passed Maverick Viñales , Andrea Dovizioso and Álex Rins in the first round, left behind Jack Miller in the second when he noticed that Fabio Quartararo was trying to escape and finally caught the Frenchman mercilessly.

The team title and Lorenzo's goodbye

His triumph served to confirm 2019 as his best season, because although he did not exceed his victory record (14 in 2014) he finished with more points (420) and podiums than ever (18) and celebrated with a mascletá the so-called 'Triple Crown'. After proclaiming themselves champion of the World Cup of pilots and delivering the constructors' World Championship to Honda, the 25 points served Repsol Honda to also win the Team World Cup. Ducati still opted for that prize, but Dovizioso's fourth place - behind Quartararo and Miller - and the fall of Danilo Petrucci left the Italian brand without options.

Even if he needed it, Márquez had the help of his teammate, Jorge Lorenzo , who finished thirteenth and was able to score points in his last race. Thanks to the many falls that occurred during the test, the Spanish withdrew with that joy and thus his fans celebrated it. Upon arriving at the Honda garage, the three-time MotoGP champion burned wheel, claimed a few seconds of tranquility, was congratulated by the technical director of the team, Alberto Puig , and thanked the mechanics for their work before leaving for their motorhome
