MotoGP, Phillip Island: Marc Marquez beats everyone, even the bug

The eight-time World Champion è on his third seasonal triumph

.

Third victory in World 2024 for Marc Marquez. The eight-time World Champion won the Australian GP at the end of an extraordinary race. Beautiful was the duel, in the last laps, with Jorge Martin, won by Marc Marquez with great mastery (the leader of the World Championship also thought about the drivers standings).

"I didn’t expect to catch Martin after the bad start. I decided to use all the rubber, not sparing myself. È it was a risk, in the end è it went well", his clear words at the end of the race in Phillip Island, the third seal of the season after the successes in Aragon and San Marino.

A victory made even more special when you consider the horrendous start of Marc Marquez himself. On the grid, the Spaniard had to deal with a rather mischievous insect that forced him to remove his visor, which then ended up under the rear tire resulting in a problem at the start of the GP.

"We agreed between riders not to change it on the grid, but this time I had no choice. I had a bug on my visor. Fortunately, everything è worked out for the best. The finish? I noticed that Jorge had been pushing throughout the race, while I had managed to get slightly more grip. Soì I prepared the’assault in the final", his quiosa.
