Marc Márquez’s position on the starting grid of the MotoGP Aragon GP didn’t go unnoticed and was soon the subject of conversation. Instead of standing in a straight line with the horizontal line, the Honda rider turned slightly to his right – the side where were the Ducati of Jorge Lorenzo and Andrea Dovizioso, who started immediately in front of him.

In social networks, Lorenzo expressed himself about the positioning of his future teammate on the starting grid for the aragonese race, writing on Twitter that he considered the situation legal: ‘Of this [intentions] only he knows. Anyway, this is legal as long as you don’t get out of the square’.

Not so much of a nice guy was the father of the #99, with Chicho Lorenzo accusing Márquez on Twitter: ‘He pointed to the goal with millimeter precision, and the goal was to irritate Lorenzo anyway. If Lorenzo crashed, much better. They have been taught to be like this and allow it to be so. And nothing happens’.

Also Pramac’s track coach Fonsi Nieto argued that Márquez’s goal was to push his opponents on the first corner, as he told Movistar MotGP: ‘There is only one goal, which is to put first in the first corner. What you’re looking for is trying to push your rivals out a bit so you can make the first corner in a good place’.
