Unavoidable figure in the world of two wheels, Kevin Schwantz is one of the most respected voices. The Texan highlighted the competitiveness that reigns in MotoGP.
‘I believe that the competition is super competitive, you can see that in the gap between the first and the last, which is always less than two seconds. They are all very close,’ he summarized, in statements to Gazzetta dello Sport, quoted by Marca.
On the other hand, the former rider points out the aspects he dislikes about the premier class today. ‘It is obvious that the riders are better than they used to be, but the bikes, currently, are a bit more ‘complicated’ to ride. I believe that the development has gone so far that it allowed electronics to have an impact on the races,’ he opined.
World champion in 1993 in the former 500cc, the American believes that Marc Márquez is a name to watch out for next season.
‘I think so. It is very difficult for a rider when they don’t control a bike. The perception of speed changes a lot. You have to go back, almost build that feeling and you have to realize that. At the beginning of last season, Marquez tried to force things, instead of being calm and running as we know. I believe he will have a good bike again, he will regain some confidence, so I think Marc Márquez can still win,’ he said.
