The 2014 MotoGP season has had a promising debut in Qatar, and an even more interesting second round in Texas, at the Circuit of the Americas. Marquez won for the second time this year and he has a comfortable lead in front of his most feared rival, last year’s runner-up Jorge Lorenzo.
Well-known as a rider who usually makes no mistakes, Lorenzo has already made two which cost him a lot of points. The first one was in Qatar, when he ignored the behavior of his tires and crashed in Turn 1 of the Losail circuit, losing any chance for points.
The second mistake came Sunday, when he jumped the start and had to take a penalty pass. He managed to climb back to the 10th position and achieve several points, but all this time, Marquez rode almost flawlessly and claimed a second win.
While the Mallorcan admitted his own fault for jumping the start, he also claimed he had a mosquito in his helmet and this distracted him and caused him to make the error. Such a claim is impossible to prove, but judging the way the lovely paddock girls at the Cota smile to the camera, it looks like they had no mosquito issues.
