Barcelona - Tim Marc VDS memang pantas digadang-gadang sebagai tim Moto2 terbaik musim ini, terbukti di latihan bebas Jumat GP Catalunya (9/6) duet pembalapnya sukses berada di dua teratas yang tercepat.
Franco Morbidelli menempati posisi pertama diikuti Alex Márquez di runner-up, sekaligus mengindikasikan bila ancaman terbesar buat Franco Morbidelli yang bertekad menjadi juara dunia Moto2 tidak datang jauh-jauh melainkan dari kubunya sendiri, yaitu Alex Márquez.
TIdak hanya itu, Alex Márquez yang merupakan local hero, bakal mendapatkan suntikan moral dan dukungan penuh fansnya karena tampil di hadapan para pendukungnya.
"Puas dengan setting motor apalagi ritme untuk balap cukup konsisten dan berharap memberikan hasil terbaik di kampung halamanku," ujar Alex Márquez.
Tampaknya sesi latihan kedua dan kualifikasi, Sabtu ini (9/6) masih didominasi duet pembalap Marc VDS. Kalau tidak Franco Morbidelli, ya Alex Márquez. (otomotifnet.com)
