Marc Marquez’s sixth MotoGP World Championship win of the se▨ason – the 50th of his career - could be perceived as one of his most important successes yet as he comfortably saw off the threat of Andrea Dovizioso and Ducati at a circuit tipped to favour his rivals.

Another sure sign that the improvements to the Repsol Honda in Marquez’s hands have seen him ascend to another lev🅷el over Dovizioso – so often the rider chasing him down in the standings - the Italian ran him close initially but at no time appeared to pose a threat for a repeat of his 2018 victory.

Indeed, when Marquez then stepped it up at the half-way mark to break away, Dovizioso couldn’t respond to cross the line a telling two seconds adri🍰ft.

Swelling his lead to 63 points, Marquez was pleased to defeat Dovizioso🙈 at a Brno circuit perceived as better suited to t🌳he Ducati package.

“I’m very happy, very happy,” he said. “To come from the sum🐈mer break with the same way we finished before the summer break is the best thing. We’re at a circuit where we expected Dovi to take some points and in the end we increased the advantage, which is the most important.

“Before the race I was convinced about the strategy, but I was a bit worried because we tried a ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚcompletely new set-up as in warm-up the feeling was not the best so we decided to change it. The team did a great job to understand problem

“The strategy was clear, push f🎐rom the beginning until the end because I chose the soft option and I didn’t know the drop of the tyres but it was good from the beginning. In the end, I started to drop but he dropped earlier than me and that made the biggest difference.”

Responding to a question about whether he feels responsible for MotoGP being seen as ‘predictable’, Marquez dismisses the notion but admits his breakthrough with being able to push from start-to-finish means h✨e is winning more comprehensively.

“MotoGP is not pr𒁃edictable! But I see the way I am racing this year, I am feeling stronger than ✨last year. Some races that are more difficult but last year in the races I was able to attack, I attacked from the beginning until the end.

“In the races I was suffering a bit I was behind Dovi – he used his strategy to manage the tyres and push at the end. But this year I feelꦏ strong, I can push from beginning to end. The numbers are increasing, we♋ are between some big legends of the sport and this is big respect.”
