Sheriff Marquez enforces his law in Austin

Everything in order in Austin. Sheriff Marquez regains its star and prolongs its dominance in the Americas. With this, there are already seven victories on this circuit, the second of the season. The man from Lleida started third, the best position on the grid throughout the season, but he had shown throughout the weekend that he is the boss here. And so he made it known at the exit. Pecco sank at the start and Cervera’s one beat Quartararo and the Italian to get first like nothing. From there it was sewing and singing.

The World Cup leader stood behind Marc during the first laps, while Bagnaia was losing positions. Rins, Jorge Martín, Miller… little by little they all passed him by, who had more rhythm. The fastest of those three was Martín, who was thrown and even showed the bike to Fourth rare. But the Frenchman resisted the attacks and maintained that second position. The Madrilenian knew that he had to shoot at the beginning because he was going to suffer in the end due to shoulder discomfort.

Meanwhile, ahead, Marquez he was doing his thing. He got first in the first corner as if it were easy and from there he began to shoot and left alone. The first laps kept Quartararo behind but as soon as he got one more gear he was unstoppable. Behind, the devil he fought with Jorge Martín and the sheriff took advantage of that to extend his advantage and put more than a second away. Although that advantage was increasing with the passage of the laps.

Not even at Sachsenring did he have that much difference with the second. With five laps to go, the distance was already four seconds. He knew he had a chance of victory. Austin is his territory and he has proven it again. The history of 2019 was repeating itself, leading with more than 3 seconds of advantage over the second when he went to the ground. This time he kept calm and did not rush. Two years later they were racing here again after the pandemic forced the cancellation of the grand prize and that of Cervera return to the top of the podium, where he was accompanied by Quartararo and Pecco Bagnaia.

No matter how many years pass, how long they are without coming to this circuit, Marc is still the sheriff of Austin. Little by little he is going back to being the same as before. In Germany he suffered a little more but here the roller happened. It was a real ride, as it usually is here. It doesn’t matter if it’s 100%. This is Márquez’s boss.
