Arose at Oh DARK 30! (4AM Pacific) Sunday
morning to watch; Err listen to MotoGP Phenom' Marc Marquez continue his overly
dominant romp to the season's start with his fourth victory in-a-row from Pole
position, giving the 21yr old Spaniard a clean sweep of 100-points overall -
winning on home soil at the Circuito de Jerez for the first time upon his (overall)
100th Grand Prix start.
Marquez, who previously equaled Scooter'
legend Giacomo Agostini's winning the
first three events in-a-row in 1971 in Argentina; which I'd missed watching
previously, listened to the choppy FS1 replay precluding the "Main
Card's" Spanish GP where Marquez tied 'Aussie Mick Doohan's remarkable
feat of four in-a-row season start accomplished in 1992! And looks set to
exceed this tally next time out at Lemans, France in a Fortnight.
Marquez, aboard his Repsol Honda simply
motored away from the field after a brief battle over the lead with "the
Doctor," nee Valentino Rossi before cruising away from the field, as Rossi
would finish runner-up after holding off another typical late race charge from
Marquez's team-mate Dani
Pedrosa.
Fellow
MovieStar Yamaha rider George Lorenzo, (Rossi's team-mate) celebrating not only
his 200th Grand Prix start but his 27th birthday, was a distant fourth-place
and probably not too happy overall, while 'DOVY, nee Andrea Dovizioso capped
off the Top-5 aboard his Ducati after scrapping it out with several other
riders...
