If there was a question about Marquez not being fast, that's pretty much out the window. Alien in the making. Now if he could simply not try to kill someone.

I don't think there was ever really a question of whether he would be fast or not...I think it was more of a matter of whether he'll be punting himself or others in/under race condition....

it was also run by the spanish when the italian, aussie, and american won their championships.

[Speeddog]

And Spain has made a gigantic effort to create racing classes and infrastructure to get kids onto bikes and find the best riders.
