Six MotoGP titles, countless epics, a few mistakes, but Marc Márquez never did so much, so good, so bad, in the same race. July 19, 2020. It will be a date that the World Champion will remember for centuries for what it could be and for what it was. It could be the culmination of his work, the comeback of all time, from the last place to the podium, but it was one of the hardest falls of his career, including an ambulance, his right shoulder again abused. The first race of this unusual season, on an empty circuit in Jerez, became a carousel for Márquez, the only protagonist. Who won? Fabio Quartararo. Who accompanied you on the podium? Maverick Viñales and Andrea Dovizioso. But whoever put their hearts in their mouths, this time at home, or in the pool, or on the beach was the reigning champion.

In a chronological account, everything happened to Márquez, from the beginning to the end. To start with one of the details: on the second lap he saved a fall that was already a fact, he was resurrected, he lifted himself off the ground almost literally. Experts consider that beyond 62 degrees of inclination there is only the asphalt, that a motorcycle cannot lean any more, that disaster awaits. Well, the Honda leader reached 67 degrees of inclination in turn four of Jerez and, despite this, he straightened his machine, directed it through the gravel and returned to the asphalt to continue his own. He had been overtaken by all the MotoGP riders, yes, but he had 20 laps left. And 20 laps for Márquez are many.

As he did in that anthological race of Estoril in 2010, in 125cc, when he was already far superior to anyone, lap by lap he overtook whoever put himself ahead without mercy and on some occasions, as in the case of Andrea Dovizioso, without precautions. . At times, in fact, he reminded Marquez that in Argentina, last year, he took Valentino Rossi ahead. But this time, fortunately, he had no company in misery. When there were still five laps to go and he was already third, only with Quartararo and Viñales ahead, Márquez returned to the place of his mistake and just a few meters earlier, when he left Turn 3, he was fired by his Honda with some violence.
