Marc Márquez led the MotoGP Grand Prix of the Americas when he suffered a crash that led him to retire – derived from a brake problem that was already affecting him. Óscar Haro liked the performance of the Gresini rider, who even had to recover from an initial setback in which he suffered contact from a rival and had damage to the bike.
The former director of LCR Honda said on Nico Abad’s YouTube channel that there would have been potential for Márquez to win if it hadn’t been for that initial setback:
– Actually, I believe that if he had been placed there first… look, when he touched and broke the wing, he went back to fourth, he recovered… I think it would have been a race where Marc could have won, because he would have gained too much time just on [Maverick] Viñales. But maybe Marc in the last two laps would have done two amazing laps.
The outcome of the Grand Prix of the Americas was a retirement for Márquez, who for the second consecutive round did not score points in the main races. However, he has been demonstrating the ability to fight in the top five and even for the podium, a position he has already achieved in the Sprint races in Portimão and Austin.
