Álex Rins
(24 years old) and
Álex Márquez
(24) studied high school together at the Monlau school in Barcelona.
While still teenagers, they were classmates, they continued together in the Spanish Speed Championship (CEV) and when they reached the World Cup they did not separate either.
In Moto3 they shared a motorcycle, sponsors and friends and then they were very close rivals in Moto2.
Only Rins' early ascent to MotoGP in 2017 divided their paths and forced Márquez to seek out new companies during his training.
At his side then appeared a Mallorcan,
Joan Mir
(23).
In 2018 they were garage neighbors in Moto2, they fought for the same podiums and even for the same contracts to get into MotoGP, a goal that both would end up achieving.
Under the shadow of the
Marc Márquez
World Cups
and with the company of
Maverick Viñales
, the three presented themselves as the new generation, the one that had to fill the void left by
Jorge Lorenzo
and
Dani Pedrosa
, and this Sunday the three confirmed it with their first joint podium in MotoGP.
The bars will be closed, the bottle will be prohibited, but in Alcañiz the young Spaniards put on a noisy party from which everyone came out euphoric.
Álex Rins celebrated his first victory of the year and, at the same time, Suzuki's first.
Álex Márquez confirmed with another second place the progression announced last week at Le Mans.
And Joan Mir returned to the podium, his fifth podium of the season, and took the lead in the World Championship.
Despite his youth and little experience in MotoGP - this is his second season - he is now the top candidate for the title after
Fabio Quartararo
finished out of the points due to tire problems.
The difference between the top four is small,
there are only 20 points
for Mir and
Andrea Dovizioso
, but the Spaniard is the most regular and the Suzuki, apparently, the best bike on the grid.
In fact, Mir himself ended up pissed off despite his third place and leadership.
"I could have won. I am a little disappointed," he repeated and seen the development of the test, he was right.
The Yamaha of Viñales and Quartararo began to rule, but it was soon discovered that they had problems and the Suzuki of Mir and Rins appeared to sweep everything away.
First the Mallorcan and then the Catalan took the first two positions and would have signed the double if an Álex Márquez had not emerged very quickly.
With three laps to go, while Mir had already given up the victory due to the wear of his tires, Márquez got behind Rins and threatened to overtake, but two scares from the Honda prevented him and there were no changes in positions.
In the rarity of the rarest season in history, Spanish motorcycling confirmed that behind Marc Márquez there is a whole generation ready to fight for the title and until the pupils of
Valentino Rossi
who currently excel in Moto2
arrive
, the national triplets will continue repeating itself.
Together with Viñales, Rins, Álex Márquez and Mir they are prepared for everything, even to be world champions.
