In Valencia this weekend at the Gran Premio Generali de la
Comunitat Valenciana, MotoGP™ fans the world over will enjoy a final-race title
decider for the first time in seven years, as Repsol Honda Team’s Marc Marquez
looks to hold off the charge from Yamaha Factory Racing’s reigning World
Champion Jorge Lorenzo.
The last time such a showdown occurred was in 2006 when
Honda’s Nicky Hayden claimed the ultimate honour as Yamaha’s Valentino Rossi
made a rare mistake. Seven years on, more drama is certain as Marc Marquez and
Jorge Lorenzo go head-to-head at the climax of what has been a riveting season.
Marquez heads to Valencia with a championship-leading advantage of 13 points,
meaning a single fourth place would guarantee the title no matter what Lorenzo
is capable of.
