[Video] Marquez "fell" for 50 meters at the Valencia GP !

The incredible catch achieved by Marc Marquez during the GP Valencia 2017 will be remembered for a long time, the HRC driver having come close to disaster while playing for the title against Andrea Dovizioso. The telemetry data from his rescue is staggering…

It was the key moment of the season finale: with seven laps to go, Marc Marquez played his game and took the forceps in charge of operations ahead of Johann Zarco. Feverish, the n ° 93 delays its braking as much as possible in turn n ° 1 … and suddenly loses the front, under the dismayed gaze of his team and the Spanish fans !

Miraculously, however, the Honda rider manages to get out of it thanks to his left elbow which serves as an additional point of support to straighten his motorcycle! The sequence, particularly spectacular, has since toured the world, the Spaniard admitting himself to have seen himself on the ground for a moment….

DRAMA !!! Marquez runs on at turn one after a MASSSSSSIVE save!

“When I got into that corner, I immediately realized that I was going too fast. I thought I was going to brake and it would pass, but actually I felt myself going!” Explains Marquez.

50 meters all on the ground: who says better !?

Used to this kind of extreme rescue, the world champion had already distinguished himself in this way in, then more recently during testing on the Sepang circuit (Malaysia). Each time, the Spanish seems to be snubbing the most basic laws of gravity, which is confirmed by the telemetry data recorded during his "almost fall".

The many sensors on his official RC213V show in particular that Marquez braked "30 meters later" than the previous lap. This difference is simply enormous at this level of competition and explains its slippage: its front tire could not take the additional load and gave way, while its Honda was at 153 km / h in 3rd gear. !

From that moment, his motorcycle lies down and deviates from its trajectory: the Repsol rider then travels 50 meters in this position, pressing like a madman on his knee and his left elbow to straighten his Honda. He achieves this just before stepping out into the gravel, thanks to his incredible coordination and immense talent..

Last impressive "data": during this action, his motorcycle tilts practically horizontally with … 64 ° of angle! Barely shaken, Marc Marquez managed to get out of the gravel in less than two, to finally finish third behind Pedrosa and Zarco! Ironically, Dovi lost shortly after the front end of his Ducati, without being able to catch up !

The sympathetic Spanish seal in his own way his sixth world title, his fourth in MotoGP, being however aware of having come close to the correctional: if Marc Marquez is the king of the rescues, his control was however put at fault at 27 (twenty- seven!) times this year, including two crashes during the race…
