Marc's maturity

You can't deny, this year Marquez is going great. He's grown the little Spanish rider and he understood the importance to get points. The only mistake committed was in Le Mans were after the crash restarted immediately, getting few but essential points.

This is the first time in his career to complete 8 GP getting always points and without retreats. Maybe less spectacular, but wiser. It's a drastic change for him who already after the disappointing start of last year confessed he understood the importance to get points always. Last year he collected 6 retreats, most of them due to the bad 2015 frame by Honda who compromised the front feeling for the riders.

Assen weekend has been tough for Honda (and not only), likewise the beginning of the season and Marquez his putting is soul, as also Jorge admitted.

The rode perfectly, thinking just to the goal and not to the riders in the front, so at the end the mistake was committed by the possible problem of that day, Rossi. Then if we think about the bad race by Lorenzo, who got points though, that second place sounds like a victory to him and a lethal defeat for Yamaha.

Sachsenring will be next round where Marc won in the last 2 years. We can quietly think about him as front-runner.
