this Circuit de Barcelona – Catalunya will host the ninth round of the 2022 MotoGP World Championship this weekend. Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda RC 213 V) will not and leaves the responsibility to shine to the rest of the Spanish riders.

The man who appears to have the most choice is Aleix Espargaró, who has secured at least four podiums in a row, in addition to his chance victory in the new Aprilia RS-GP after his victory in Argentina. To be the grand reality of a championship where your title fight is no longer a matter of luck.

But Aleix Espargaró will meet Fabio Quartararo, a world leader and current world champion who does not want to lose his status. and already in Mugello (Italy), he took part in a spectacular race to finish second after Italian Francesco Pecco Bagnaia’s “very fast” Ducati Desmosedici GP22.

Joan Mir, Fortune turned its back on them at Mugello because both were out of the race due to collisions for different reasons, but in the first, he was fiercely critical of the stance of Japanese Takaaki Nakagami (Honda RC 213 V). the race he blamed for having had his misfortune.
