Marquez is quick for sure, but he has the best of evrything so I would expect that really.

Watch the race again and see how he sits up every lap on the straight, so embarassing is his acceleration advantage.

With that, there really is no need to barge people out the way. Yes its racing, but you pick your rivals based on how they ride, fair play he could have done the same to Iannone or Corsi, as they ride hard, but Luthi is not a dirty rider hence Marquez should have been a little more reasonable.

Simply put, I dont like him. Because he is fabulously well funded and over aggressive fora rider that will get to the top no matter what he does. He is quick yes, but not overly so, was nothing special on a Honda 125 where he was rteamed with Bradders who thrashed him or on KTM where he was no quicker than his teammates.

A special talent is instantly special no matter what he rides, and Marquez is nothing more than the next Pedrosa, a rider who is small, light and eases through the smaller bikes because of this. If he blitzes the field on a GP bike then fair enogh he deserves those plaudits.

But, right now he is the same as Capirossi, Pedrosa, Katoh. Awesome riders all but not main class champions or regular race winners.
