MotoGP was founded in 1949 and is an international motorcycle race. Before 2002, the event name was WGP, and then changed to MotoGP. In 2018, Honda driver Mark Marquez won the championship, which is his seventh annual championship and the fifth MotoGP championship.
Marc Marquez was born in Spain in 1993. As of 2018, he won 7 annual championships and is undoubtedly a talented driver. But after 2018 MotoGP, Jorge Lorenzo of the Ducati team accused Mark Marquez of deliberately blocking his overtaking action at Aragon Station, causing him to fall at high speed. Lorenzo accused at the post-match press conference: Because of Marquis' behavior, he destroyed his chances of winning the championship.
From the live broadcast of the game, it can be seen that Lorenzo ranked first before entering the corner and entered the first turn first, but Marquis overtook the inside at a faster speed. Lorenzo recalled: "From the replay perspective, his fall was because the speed of the car was too fast, causing the driving trajectory to deviate from the racing line, and the bending angle was too small, causing the fall."
Lorenzo also said that although Marquis had no foul in the inside line, it just violated the gentleman agreement between the drivers, and went against the "clean racing attitude" mentioned before.
However, the 2018 season has ended, and we don’t know how Lorenzo can solve this problem. 2019 MotoGP Honda Team has Jorge Lorenzo's name in the list of drivers released. Lorenzo and Marquez, the two "enemy" will compete in the 2019 MotoGP together, which means that Pedrosa, who served in the Honda team for 18 years, has finally retired.
Let’s talk about Honda’s proud tank - RC213V, which is equipped with the latest version of V-type four-cylinder engine with a displacement of 1000cc. The RC213V uses a pneumatic spring, which directly further improves the engine’s power performance and characteristics, thereby extracting stronger peak power.
RC213V's maximum output power is 180 kilowatts (245 horsepower). The body further reduces weight by using a large amount of carbon fiber, titanium alloy , magnesium alloy , etc., with a dry weight of only 157 kg. With the increase in power and the reduction in weight, just thinking about it can tell how terrifying the RC213V "fighter" is.
And this year is also the 25th anniversary of Honda's cooperation with Repsol (Vishong), the body is naturally still a familiar "flavor". The bright orange Visong lace flower will make an orange whirlwind blow on the track. However, the RC213V is a chariot that pays great attention to the skills of heavy brakes on the curve, which poses a huge challenge to Lorenzo's physical strength and skills.
Summary: At present, Lorenzo has publicly confirmed to sign a contract with Honda for the 2019-2020 season. In this way, Honda became the team with the most champion drivers in the MotoGP event. Lorenzo and Marquis added together, and won 11 annual championships, 130 sub-station championships, and 255 podiums. So, can Honda continue to defend the championship in the 2019 MotoGP event? Let's wait and see.
