WORDS: BENJAMIN JKUBAS CRONIN PICS:SNAPPY RAVEN, HONDA, ROB GRAY
Thank whom ever for Marc Marquez entering Moto GP –be that your preferred deity or the person of our choice –because the lad set the series alight when he entered five seasons ago in 2013. No matter what you may think of the boy wonder,which side of the fence you may come down on,orevenifyou’restill sat atop it, one cannot deny that Marquez gave the series a royal kick up the collective jacksie.
And nowin2017, nearly five seasons and three Moto GP world titles later,he’s still doing it. His impact on the series was impressive,and not just in the way he won races and titles.He made the rest of the pack seriously up their game,while more than filling the void left by the absent Casey Stoner.
