Marquez could be ‘referee’ in MotoGP title fight
Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda RC 213 V) is becoming a problem for 2022 world title contenders. Fabio Quartararo of France (Yamaha YZR M1), Italy’s Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Desmosedici GP22) and Catalan Aleix Espargaro (Aprilia RS-GP), and this weekend the eight-time world champion was able to take another step forward with the Thai Grand Prix at Buriram Circuit.
not him repsol honda rider The title may have a mathematical option, it doesn’t, but it is evolving towards a decisive recovery and growing again in the sports field. He can deduct some very important points from all of that going into the 2022 title.
Marquez finished fourth in Motegi, very close to the drivers who could have been on the podium. I had a small electrical issue which I was able to resolve on the first lap but dropped to fifth despite starting from pole position. “But most importantly, it was his words after the race, confirming he had no pain in his arm and even had the strength to fight in a ‘head-to-head’ with Portugal’s Miguel and take fourth place.” Oliveira (KTM RC 16).
These are the two stats most relevant to Marc Márquez’s recovery and progress, and he could now arrive at the circuit he loves so much and start being a ‘jury’ in contests for the world title. there is. For now, I choose the side of Frenchman Fabio Quartararo, thanks to the “weird carrom” that happened at Motegi.
Applicant must progress
None of the title contenders lived up to expectations for one reason or another, but in the case of Spaniard Aleix Espargaro, a failure of the team’s electronic engineers kept him from podiums and winning battles. This is because he forgot to turn off the low fuel consumption system “Eco-Lap” dedicated to the formation lap.
in the case of Both Quartararo and Bagnaia were not according to the situationthe first leader of the championship, saw how problems plagued his rivals and eventually settled in eighth place, able to increase his advantage in the points table despite everything. However, the Buriram track in particular is not one of the most favorable to his Yamaha’s technical conditions.
Second, “Pecco” Bagnaia, once again overwhelmed by nerves and the pressure of the moment If he wants to reach the end of the championship while thinking about the title, he’ll put everything aside completely and add as many points as possible after playing his fifth “Zero” of the season in Japan. You have to concentrate.
Petrucci, novelty
The last-minute novelty is the presence of Italy’s Danilo Petrucci on the handlebars of the Suzuki GSX RR, standing in for 2020 World Champion Joan Mir of Spain.
Mir is not in a position to return to competition after the final MRI the rider underwent in Spain and will have to continue the recovery process from complex injuries such as a torn talus. Decided to look for alternatives to not leave his second motorcycle in a ‘dry dock’. So the name of the charismatic and friendly Danilo “Petrux” Petrucci came up.
Petrucci, who finished second at the end of America’s AMA MotoAmerica Championship, became a creditor to replace Joan Mir at least in the Thai race. He won 2019 at Mugello (Italy), 2020 at Le Mans (France) and 2021 at KTM.
Many pilots with options to fight for victory
After what was seen at the ‘Twin Ring’ in Motegi, the victory of Australia’s Jack Miller (Ducati Desmosedici GP22) will have a more valid interlocutor at the end of this championship. In this part of the championship, especially as the competition faces a return to the Grand Prix of ‘his’ home, Australia’s home on Phillip Island.
South Africa’s Brad Binder (KTM RC 16) and Spain’s Jorge Martin (Ducati Desmosedici GP22) could both be seen swinging full swing on the podium at Motegi, so I’ve grown in this part of the championship. He’s not the only rider doing it. We will no doubt seek more results like these in the rest of the season.
As for the title contenders panorama can be complicated if they don’t get smart and all these pilots that have to be taken into account for reasons already detailed add as many other pilots to seek There is a possibility. An end-of-season glory to prepare for the next season with a sweeter taste.
Italy’s Enea “La Bestia Bastianini” (Ducati Desmosedici GP2), France’s Johann Zarco (Ducati Desmosedici GP22), Spain’s Maverick Vinales (Aprilia RS-GP), Alex Rins (Suzuki GSX RR), Portugal’s Miguel Oliveira (KTM RC) 16) and a long list of Italian riders such as Luca Marini, Marco Bezzecchi, Fabio Di Giannantonio (all Ducati) and Franco Morbidelli (Yamaha YZR M1 ).
For a completely different reason, Spaniard Pol Espargaro (Repsol Honda RC 213 V) is another rider to consider. Although he will not stop challenging riders from Granollers until the end, it is also true that there are various disadvantages.

Drivers choose the best Formula 1 driver of 2025
Max Verstappen received his fifth consecutive Formula 1 Driver of the Year award despite being one step away from his fifth consecutive championship title in the 2025 season.
All but four riders participated in the anonymous survey, traditionally conducted among peloton pilots. According to the results, the Red Bull driver was ahead of the new world champion Lando Norris.
Drivers compiled their own top 10 using the standard Formula 1 points system. Verstappen secured first place with 25 points in six different votes.
Norris, who won his first championship after a difficult season, came second in the referee voting for the second time in a row.
McLaren secured the drivers’ title by enduring serious pressure from Verstappen and teammate Oscar Piastri in one of the most interesting seasons of recent years.
Third in the rankings was George Russell, up one place from last year. The Mercedes driver had a strong season, claiming two wins and seven podium finishes.
Piastri improved his position by one place and finished fourth, although his championship ambitions diminished in the autumn. At one point in the season the Australian was 34 points ahead of his rivals.
Rounding out the top 5 was Charles Leclerc, who dropped two places despite getting the most out of the Ferrari SF-25. The Monegasque achieved seven podiums and the Scuderia finished the season in fourth place in the Constructors’ Championship.
Carlos Sainz retained sixth place after an impressive recovery for Williams. Despite a difficult start for Grovey, the Spaniard managed to reach the podium twice in the second half of the season.
Fernando Alonso rose two places to seventh with his strong performance behind the wheel of the Aston Martin AMR25.
The eighth place was taken by Alex Albon, who had his best season at Williams. The top ten is rounded out by newcomers Oliver Berman and Isak Hajjar, who are known for their strong debut seasons.
It is noteworthy that Lewis Hamilton was not included in the voting for the first time since the beginning of this rating, which reflects the British pilot’s difficult first season with Ferrari.
Nico Hulkenberg, Lance Stroll and Yuki Tsunoda also did not participate in the survey.

Barça’s best players are those who are not inspired by radicalism. You’re not always outdoors, you’re not always in your quarry. In the current economic situation of clubs, there are more operations that can be carried out using foreign players. Lewandowski Either Ronnies than the midlife option. You should always look at your quarry and upload those who have left. Same as before. Xavi gave Lamine his debut at the age of 15. Eric Garcia He had to take a walk around the city to appreciate it. Kvarshi He imposed his talent on himself. bucket, Pedri Either marriedand gerald martin He broke down the door by force and will. Barça have a duty to field good players, and the Blaugrana’s best squad is made up of a significant portion of the youth team. However, there were some players on the team who promised a lot but ultimately failed to deliver. The key to Barça is balance, not misunderstood essence.
Barça have two excellent football players in central positions. One is like a half quarry Ronald Araujohas returned to training and has a world-class defensive level. It remains to be seen whether he has fully recovered from his mental issues, but he is a great athlete with the natural prerequisites to play and be successful in the heart of the defense. The other signature is: AkeCentral Lateral, from Manchester City, not counted guardiola And he wants to leave because he wants to play in the World Cup with the Dutch national team.
This is a portrait of a successful robot in a Blaugrana costume after playing for a long time in a team trained by Pep and having already learned the basic features of the model. However, City are expected to pay a transfer fee of 15 million to 20 million yen, and the compulsory purchase option at the end of the season is not an option, but a compulsory purchase, so it will be difficult to let him go. Ake meets the best profile and could be next. stoneThis isn’t a bad thing and would strengthen the pivot, but the most lucrative signing would definitely be Araujo. He is a player loved by Blaugrana football fans and well known and appreciated in the dressing room.

Physical preparation is key to a pilot’s performance in the Dakar: “If a pilot is tired, his head and eyesight won’t work and he will fall.”
Engine testing is known as the most demanding in the world because, beyond the quality of the pilot, the reliability of the mechanics, and the harsh environment, it requires physical and psychological preparation for explosion protection. Not everyone will be able to emerge victorious from such an extreme adventure. dakarwhich will be experienced for the 48th time from January 3 to 17, 2016, will require pilots to complete almost 8,000 kilometers. To talk about how demanding the Dakar pilots are physically and mentally, MD caught up with Vic Jaume Palau, the fitness and physical trainer who has been in charge of preparing the pilots this time. Nani Roma, Nandu Jubany, Joan Fontand the one who started the love story in Dakar with the pilot Ramon Villa In 1991, when he was competing in car control, Nissan.
“The most important thing for pilots is to stay active and take care of themselves.”
Since then, he has worked with countless adventure pilots, not to mention his work as a physical trainer for sports such as cycling, mountain skiing and roller hockey. Jordi Alcalons, Jerad Juarez or Rosa Romero, wife of Nani Roma. For more than 30 years, in various editions of the Dakar, he said: “We have to apply what we think is good for this sport, outline the physical preparation and provide what elite athletes need. It is a very personal job, each with different characteristics.”
Preparing a professional pilot is not the same. Nani Romafor motor enthusiasts like chefs. Nandu Jubanyspend as much time as possible training. “Nani, for example, has a lot of time to prepare. Apart from physical preparation, he also works on a psychological level and does visual training. He has built a small gym at home to optimize his time. I am preparing a program for him and sometimes we meet at home. vic fitness“It’s different with Jubany. He works long hours, so I go to his house every day if I can. I have prepared a work plan for him. He works in a small gym at home and also plays in the pool. He has had several joint accidents, so it’s working out very well. “And it is he who goes to the gym with Joan Font, and they often go out on their bikes.
“The important thing is that visual and perceptual training is also 100%. The best training is specific training with the car.”
Preparation involves several conditions, such as the professionalism of the driver, his age, and the vehicle used. Car drivers, who sit and put a lot of strain on their lower back, forearms and neck, are different from motorcyclists, who are at much greater risk.
Palau, which started cooperating with three pilots after the summer holidays in a program that will last until December, assures that “the most important thing is that the person is physically active and takes care of himself. There are long hours of giving all in stress and heat. Exposure of the body is very physically demanding, and many amateur pilots are not adequately prepared.” Furthermore, in a race full of dangers and traps like the Dakar, “things happen very quickly and the level of demand is very high.”
“As a physical trainer, I can’t fail even if the driver’s performance doesn’t go well because of me, even if the driver isn’t in good shape.”
Palau emphasizes that it is important for drivers to not only be physically prepared, but also to train with their cars. For example, Nandu has a side-by-side, trains on the circuit and competes in gravel rallies. “The important thing is that visual and perceptual training is also 100%. And this year Nani, who Jaume considers to be very strong, was able to race. The best training is car-specific training.”
Now that the work is done, the question is clear where Jaume Palau could fail in the physical preparation of its drivers. And the answer is also straightforward. “If a pilot’s performance isn’t improving because of me, it means he’s not feeling well. When a pilot is tired, his brain and vision don’t work as well, which can lead to an accident.”
Sainz and Nani are not supermen
At the Dakar, nothing should be left to chance, whether a driver is looking to go down in the sport’s history as one of the best drivers, or whether his sole goal is to finish. For this reason, issues of nutrition and hydration are also important. Palau condemned some drivers not eating and drinking as they should and warned that experimentation during races is prohibited. Pilots must know all the food they will eat during the race and must never improvise to avoid imbalances. For example, I always feed my Nani baby food that is easy to digest and rich in vitamins and minerals.
A stupid mistake, like when it comes to food, can undo all the work done over months. Some people believe in luck, but Jaume Palau only professes a religion of good luck, where drivers and teams follow the plan and pay close attention to everything to avoid accidents, but unfortunately accidents happen all the time in Dakar. So, are Carlos Sainz (63 years old) and Nani Roma (53 years old) seemingly fresh supermen after completing the Dakar? Jaume Palau declares: “No, they have always valued each other. They are physically active people, so they enjoy a high level of fitness.”
