Martinator fears both Marquez and Bezzecchi
From being a ‘by chance’ leader to strengthening the top spot with 32 points out of 37 earned: at Silverstone Jorge Martin sent a strong signal to his rivals, although Marco Bezzecchi can also be more than proud of a double podium that brought him back to second place in the World Championship, 31 points behind his teammate.

Marc Marquez lost a lot of ground, collecting only 10 points between Saturday and Sunday. At Sachsenring Marquez had returned to -18 from Martin, now he is again at -40 points.
According to Martin, there are three title contenders who have the experience and background sufficient to aim with the right credentials at the big prize: “Who is the more dangerous opponent between Marquez and Bezzecchi? I believe both are true racing animals – Martin told the Spanish outlet AS – We already know Marc, there is no need to add anything, but what Marco did this weekend, given his situation, I think says a lot.”
“Few have that grit, that ability to come back from an injury and stay on my tail until the last lap. And both Marc and him and I are three riders who have already done that and I believe all three of us will fight until the end“, Martin added.
