Ah, once again, I've been Snookered by the good 'Ol
Internets, which is what happens when Yuhs Don't do your Own Research...
By now, if you're a MotoGP Fan, then Y'all
know that the rider I now refer to as "The Pinball Wizard!" Marc
Marquez won again at the Circuit Of The Americas (COTA) for his sixth time
in-a-row, having started from Pole all six times; Aye Karumba!
And yes! I'm aware that he rolled off from P4 this
year, but that was after being given a three place penalty for impeding
Maverick "Top Gun" Vinales - after having won the Pole position...
Whilst I should have known Somme-thun' was
Amiss when doin' my ryth-Muh-tickin' over just how many consecutive races
Marquez has won in Americre', especially when typing how he'd won All three
events on U.S. soil during his Rookie campaign in 2013, which was Laguna Seca's
final MotoGP event.
But Alas, without mentioning at least one
reporter's name I know I took his erroneous statistic from, albeit Thar were
others I mistakenly believed. Contrary to what I wrote previously. This year's
COTA victory was only Marquez's tenth consecutive MotoGP victory in America.
And eleventh in-a-row including his 2012 Moto 2 victory at Indianapolis before
graduating to the B-I-G BOYZ' premiere MotoGP class...
As I now feel 99%
Certain I've gotten Marquez's current Win Streak tally in Americre' correct,
with the 25yr old Spaniard having won the following events...
