2024 Author: Nicholas Abramson | [email protected]. Last modified: 2024-02-10 16:54
The season of the Motorcycle World Championship is over with the Valencian Community Grand Prix at the Cheste Circuit and it will do so with a bitter aftertaste that has been felt since the last Malaysian GP where the MotoGP rider, Marco Simoncelli, died. In this position it's hard to start writing about motorcycle racing But something that everyone is clear about is that we must continue. For this weekend motorcyclist day, events in honor of the ill-fated Italian rider are expected by the whole family that makes up the "circus" of the championship.
It seems that the rest of the events will remain in the background But we must not forget that in 125cc, Nico Terol must work to win the title of the category. For his part, Stefan Bradl should do the same and not make mistakes if he also wants to obtain the same precious award for the Moto2 category. In MotoGP, with the title already decided in favor of Casey Stoner and with the morale of the riders in not a very good time due to the events that occurred, this Valencian round should be a simple procedure to end the season, close the 800-centimeter folder cubic and look towards 1000cc next season.
MotoGP
In MotoGP, Casey Stoner enjoys a pressure-free career and claims since it has in its showcases the title of the category. For the Australian, although because of what happened these days he has declared that it is difficult to run again, he has stated that these situations nevertheless occur. Valencia is an event where you can even afford to try some technical solutions for next year, even in the race, to which we must add the test day next Monday with the 1000cc.
The second place in the general classification must be for a Jorge Lorenzo still handicapped by his finger injury. It has 260 points in the general classification having behind Andrea Dovizioso (212 points), his most immediate pursuer, although the fight will be seen between him and Dani pedrosa (208 points), for third place. Close together and separated by only seven points we have official Ducati riders Valentino Rossi and Nicky Hayden. It will be at least curious to see who is ahead in a season in which so much has been said about the Ducati-Valentino Rossi tandem. For its part, Gresini's team declared that they would compete in Valencia with only one driver in their ranks, Aoyama. And few more news other than the absence of Colin Edwards who will have a Josh Hayes as a replacement in the Yamaha Tech3.
Moto2
In Moto2, until the finish line is crossed, nothing is decided but Stefan bradl To lose this World Cup, he would have to have a disastrous race, have an incident or fall and Marc Márquez win. It is unlikely but not impossible for something like this to happen, but obviously no one is wished badly, so under normal conditions, Bradl should go out and conserve and not get into fights that could harm him. For his part to Marc MárquezWith the medical discharge in his hand since last October 26, he is worth nothing other than winning the race although he has made it very clear all season how good a driver he is. He has nothing to prove this year, he simply must be there in case Bradl's failure occurs to be able to take advantage of it, nothing more.
For fans of mathematics we remember that Stefan Bradl has 274 points in the general classification and Marc Márquez 251 in case someone wants to unleash the calculator while watching the race broadcast. Behind with 172 and 170 points respectively we have Andrea Iannone and Alex de Angelis who signed a very good season followed by a Tomas Luthi with 151 points. I personally hope that next year the Espargaró will take off, they should have something to say in the championship in 2012 and see Carmelo Morales recovered in the world championship again.
125cc
In 125cc Nico Terol has always said that he would have liked to arrive in Valencia with the title sentenced but this year he will have to work at home and not get lost in order to obtain a degree that he would like to dedicate to Marco Simoncelli. He will wear 58 on his helmet all weekend in honor of the Italian like many other pilots, for example Andrea Dovizioso in his jumpsuit. He comes rested and with clear ideas, he says he has disconnected but has also worked a lot with his physiotherapist these past days to recover from muscle contractures.
He claims to sign a first position for his teammate Héctor Faubel while he, accompanying him on the podium, took the title. It would be the perfect weekend and said that, as a group, his team very much deserves this world championship. And going back to the cold numbers we have Terol himself with 282 points first in the general classification followed by Johann Zarco with 262. Behind Sandro Cortese with 225 and Maverick Viñales with 223 playing for third place. A weekend awaits us in Cheste in which if there are surprises, as I say, the calculators will spark, otherwise "cool down" is expected. There is a saying that says that "when extremes are vicious, virtue is in the middle." In this case, in the middle will be calm and in the extremes the excitement of the last Grand Prix of the 2011 season.
