In that 2014 video game he won at Sachsenring after a downpour and starting from the pitlane and so on. dozens of examples. But now everything is different. In his fateful accident in Jerez more than a year ago, Márquez not only lost the strength of his humerus, an injury that still lingers, he also lost his fortune. And today everything that happens goes against him, harms him; there is no way.

This Sunday Márquez was four laps, about five minutes away, from celebrating his resurrection. He had already won in June at the Sachsenring, a rare circuit, slow like any other, specially made for him, but this time he was close to a win in Austria, a fast and aggressive track.

Pecco Bagnaia

and

Fabio Quartararo

, had passed them just in time and was facing a solo journey towards the finish line when the sky opened.

He had already warned with a few drops in the first laps that slowed the pace, but so close to the end nobody expected such a downpour.

And he fell, boy did he fall.

Despite the few remaining kilometers, all the favorites were forced to enter the garage to change their motorbike and, back on track, misfortune struck Márquez.

He not only watched as

Brad Binder

, who had decided to take a risk and not go through the pits, stood up in the rain and took the race.
