MotoGP 2021. The report cards of the San Marino GP in Misano – MotoGP
Pecco Bagnaia vote 10 and praise
We are in absolute perfection, an exceptional state of form, a perfect symbiosis with his bike. Everything comes apparently easy, he can only focus on the details, the ones that make the difference in MotoGP. He is convincing in all respects, he is clearly the number one in the Ducati garage. In some ways, this victory was even more beautiful than that of Aragon. In the magic bubble.
Fabio Quartararo 9
Considering the difference with the other Yamaha riders, maybe he deserves 10… He does everything very well, he loses the race in the first laps, but he has no big faults on that either. He has great confidence and determination, a very high speed, good at maintaining calm and tranquility. It went well for him that it didn’t rain, he earned everything else on the track. Applause.
Enea Bastianini 10
He is growing a lot, only in the first laps he struggles a little more, but overall he has shown great potential. He thrilled in overtaking, to put it in the words of Marquez “he detached like an animal”, with the bike well in hand, nice to see. He also took home the fastest race lap, confirming that what he did was not accidental. Beast.
Marc Marquez 8
In this GP he has a lot, under the physical aspect, but in the end he has a race to applause: the feeling is that many in his condition would not be able to control him, while he was playing there in front. Hopefully the shoulder situation is better than it looks from the outside. Unique.
Jack Miller 6
He is fast, but in the end he realizes less than his potential, as if he could not make the definitive leap in quality. Do you still have room for growth? Difficult to say, the doubt is that if it has not succeeded so far, the future development. Well, but not great.
Joan Mir 6
The world dreams actually end here, he has no means to defend the title. He continues to think that he is a very strong rider and that he takes advantage of everything he has at his disposal: in the race there are only a few as fast as him. Braked.
Pol Espargarò 6
He takes three seconds from his teammate, defends himself in some way both in practice and in the race. Who knows if in the two days of testing he can find a way to be more competitive, for the moment he has to be satisfied. Task.
Aleix Espargarò 6
We want more, considering that Aprilia tried a lot here, but Aleix was never explosive, neither in practice nor in the race. However, he did his duty, without exaggerating. Step back.
Brad Binder 5
In the race he does a lot of overtaking, but you can’t wake up only on Sunday: he has to find a way to be more effective in qualifying. Nightmare of the dry ride.
Michele Pirro 8
Ducati is very competitive, but he does his great, without any adaptation problems. Nice race.
Giovanni Zarco 5
He is no longer the driver of the start of the season and not only for the problems in his right arm, which will be operated on Wednesday. In difficulty.
Maverick Vinales 5
After the sensational start in FP1, we see each other much more. Instead, he struggles, especially in the race configuration: now he has to remain calm and make the most of the tests. Complicated race.
Danilo Petrucci 4
It is not really his bike, which regret he sees in such difficulty. Last hits.
Valentino Rossi 4
He tries, he doesn’t give up, but he can no longer be effective. The public continues to be all yellow, he puts passion and dedication into it, he doesn’t give up. Final walkway.
Franco Morbidelli 6
It only counts to be back on the bike, but, unfortunately, the left leg is far from healed. However nice it sees on an official Yamaha. Blue pride.
Luca Marini 4
If there were no team mate, he would have the excuse of an uncompetitive bike. It’s a difficult time, he must be good at finding the way out. Far.
Andrea Dovizioso 6
He is back on the bike after ten months, with a completely different bike and a new working system, without ever having tried it before. The result doesn’t matter. For the moment.
Alex Rins 3
We are very sorry to see this driver repeat the same mistakes over and over again. He has to work hard on himself to get out of the most difficult moment of his career. Wasted potential.
Ducati DesmosediciGP rating 9.5
Four bikes in the first five places in qualifying, two in the first three in the race: this Ducati is strong with all the riders, even if, of course, it takes someone like Bagnaia to make a difference. Congratulations engineer Gigi Dall’Igna.
Yamaha M1 vote 8
What if we were faced with a new case like that of Honda? Because without Quartararo, the Yamaha would be judged as a very competitive bike. And on the straight it continues to be the slowest.
Honda RC213V vote 8
Overall it did not go badly, even with test driver Bradl (rating 6.5), but it remains very difficult to take to the limit.
Suzuki GSX-RR rating 7.5
Right now it seems to be in trouble, one step behind, at least one, compared to the most competitive bikes.
Aprilia RS-GP vote 7
After constant growth, a step backwards was taken here: perhaps it was the track that put the bike from Noale in the most difficulties.
Ktm RC16 vote 6
It is the disappointment of this part of the championship, even if in the race Binder shows a decent potential.
