Hat-trick by Marc Marquez in MotoGP season 2014

Yes you got it right! After winning the 1st and 2nd round of the MotoGP 2014 season at Qatar and Americas respectively, Team Repsol Honda's young rider- Marc Marquez continued his leadership with the third round of the championship at Argentina. Following him, Dani Pedrosa secured second for the same team, while Movistar Yamaha's Velentino Rossi finished at third. Marquez has secured 25 points in each round making his total score of 75 points, which is 19 points higher than the second and 34 points higher than the third position secured by Pedrosa and Rossi respectively.

Commenting on his victory, Marquez said, “The first lap was very difficult and we lost some ground, but we focused and recovered well. The key to winning this race was managing the tyres well, especially the rear tyre. My riding style can be very hard on rear tyres, so I had to focus hard to save some tyres for the end.”

Looking ahead, he added, “I know the season is very long. Of course in Jerez we will try and win as we never know what will happen in the future. Dani is very strong and only 19 points behind me and we’re going to his favourite circuit!”

Pedrosa reflected, “Unfortunately I was not so quick at the beginning, after all the mess of lap one I was stuck with the group and couldn’t make an early pass to be quicker. In the end I was coming strong, though it took me some laps to find the rhythm. I enjoyed it but also kind of hated it because I was alone in third for much of the race. It is a great result for the team and next week is Jerez, which is a track I like.”

Marquez is the winner of 2013 season of motoGP and also the youngest MotoGP champion ever, riding an RC213V for the same Repsol Honda Team. And looking towards its current performance, it seems that he already decided to win the 2014 season of MotoGP.
