Marc Marquez's Grand Prix victory at Aragon on Sunday was much more than the end of a three-year drought for the Spaniard. He has kept a much lower profile than usual since he arrived at the Gresini team, while sending out very strong messages below the radar.
Winning again 1043 days since his last success is already a feat for someone who nine months ago made the riskiest gamble of his career. Leaving Honda, his career-long MotoGP home on which he was the flagship totem of the winged empire, to join one of the more modest independent squads in the paddock and ride a year-old bike brought no guarantees of success.
