Perfect one-two finish for Repsol Honda Team in Misano
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
Alex Marquez returned to winning ways with a masterful display in San Marino as #marcmarquez scored his first virtual podium with a scintillating second.
With the times in Qualifying as close as ever, the fourth virtual race of 2020 looked set to be another closer fought affair with many of the regulars back at the front. As the lights went out, it was #alexmarquez who got the jump into Turn One from second on the grid aboard his Repsol Honda Team RC213V with World Champion #marcmarquez close behind.
The early laps saw Alex fighting with Quartararo and briefly Bagnaia, two of Alex's consistent rivals for the podium. Bagnaia's challenge faded early and soon the 2019 Moto2 World Champion was left with just Quartararo to battle him. Expert defending kept the French rider behind until the closing moments when the pair collided and handed the lead to Marc on the second Repsol Honda Team machine. A hard fight erupted over the final lap between Alex and Marc, but it would be #alexmarquez who took the win in a thrilling last corner battle, earning his second victory of the virtual season in fine style. 25 points for the win moves him to the head of the championship table with a total of 86 points.
Marc Marquez got off to a similarly strong start on the RC213V and remained just off the back of the riders fighting for victory. Saving his tyres, the eight-time World Champion attacked in the closing stages to fight with his new team-mate after a crash between the riders fighting for victory. Making his move on the brakes, Marc seemed to have the advantage but narrowly missed out in the drag to the line. The second-place finish is Marc's first virtual podium and sees the Repsol Honda Team become the first team to finish one-two in the virtual series.

"I'm so happy with this win. It wasn't easy as all race I was watching for Fabio behind, we crashed and then when Marc came at the end, I really had to push. I knew a little bit from playing with him in the past what he would try so I focused on the corner exit, I knew he'd be strong on the brakes. It has been great to put on another show for the fans and I think this was one of the best races yet. Thanks everyone for watching!"

"Finally we finished on the podium! It was a really good race and the Misano circuit suited my virtual style a little more. I pushed very hard in the last laps to try and beat Alex but he was just able to get a small advantage. Congratulations to him, it was nice to battle on track. Now we'll have a big party! First and second is a great result for us and the team."
