    "Motorcycles should go slower"

Halfway through the race,

'Pecco' Bagnaia

, current runner-up, was looking at the screens, sitting in his garage, with his face resting on his hand, bored, boring, like so many, like everyone?

Fabio Quartararo

's greatest adversary

in the MotoGP World Championship fell again, once again, the fourth this season and said goodbye to any chance of being champion.

Although there is half a championship left, it can already be said that it will be the French if he does not suffer a misfortune.

Despite the fact that there are 10 races left, there is no doubt that the Frenchman will be because there is no one to argue with him.

As happened 15 days ago in Montmeló, this Sunday at the Sachsenring, Quartararo rode alone from the first corner and only reached the checkered flag.

It is not a summary: it is the complete narrative.

Nothing happened, if anything the pursuit of Bagnaia until his fall.

The superiority, the reliability, the safety of the Frenchman, far ahead of the rest.

During the year he has been running out of opponents and today behind him there is only an abyss.

At the beginning of the season he threatened Bagnaia;

not anymore.

The return of

Marc Márquez

was a danger, of course, but he was defeated by his own body.

The Suzuki riders

Álex Rins

and

Joan Mir

challenged again , until the brand announced their goodbye.

And so other candidates disappeared, such as

Enea Bastianini

, who went from winning three races to fighting for the Top 10, or Aleix Espargaró.

After his unfortunate mistake in Montmeló, the second-placed player in the World Cup has lost his aura, his good streak, and this Sunday he was left without the podium that could keep him on the lookout for Quartararo.

In the only fight in the front positions, he and

Jack Miller

argued for the third position and finally a mistake by the Spaniard was decisive.

Now Espargaró is already 34 points behind the championship leader who, in the Parc Fermé, in full celebration of his victory, yawned.

Maybe he was bored too.

Like so many, like everyone?
