A technique popularised by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez has been called out for changing the game in MotoGP.

A young Marquez became well-known for leaning so far over, when turning his motorcycle, that his elbow would someꦯtimes touch the floor.

It is a method which required immense bra𝓰very🔯 - but also comes from sound logic.

“It is getti🔜ng information from the vibration of𒊎 the front tyre to his arm,” James Toseland explained for TNT Sports.

“As soon as Marquez realised that the elbow, dragging down, got information about wha🍌t the front tyre was doing, then you can catch the front.

“Only M🌱arc could catch the front because he was getting information quicker.

“When other people, with a standard style, lost the front, that elbow didn’t touch the floor until they fell off. It was too ꦗlate.”

Marc Marquez 'so brave' but it had 'consequences'

Cal Crutchlow added: “I don’t remember anyone saving front-end crashes with just their 🔯knee.

“We all tried. You dug it in a few times.

“M✨arc, and a lot of these guys now, use it for the gauge. They lean off the bike so much that they touch the floor.

“When the front end does go, they’ve got another pa💝rt to be able to save it.

“Marc made this up.”

Neil Hodgson said: “Marc is so brave that, once he realised he could push past the limit and sꩲave it on his elbow, he was happy to do that.

“The co✅nsequences are that you get hurt when it goes wrong.

“But this man doesn’t care. If it made him fas🍸ter, he was prepared.”

Marquez, of cours✅e, had a series of heavy crashes which caused 🅷terrible injuries and almost forced his retirement.

His crash in Aragon in 2020, when he rushed back too quickly from injury, is the key regret fr🔴om his career.

But Marquez’s brave and innovative style has served him well, and many fans regard him as the best mot💛orcycle racer ever.

He cuꦓrrently tops the MotoGP standings and, if he wins, he will tie Valentino Rossi’🥀s tally for nine world titles.
