P
ut a gang of overpowered
motorcycles in a little car
park, make them zig-zag
back and forth around it for
40 minutes, and the guy who
comes out on top has obviously
got something special.
When he does it five times in
a row (eight times, if you count
Moto2 and 125), then you'd
have to know his name is Marc
Marquez.
And if it gives him the lead in
the 2017 world championship for
the first time, after a difficult sea-
son with only one other victory,
then you'd understand that the
word "unpredictable" falls short
of describing the first half of the
2017 season.

There are few
sporting arenas
in the world that
match so perfectly
with one athlete
as Saschenring
does with Marc
Marquez. This
year, he made it
eight straight wins
at the German
venue.
EIGHT
The win hoisted
Marc Marquez
into the
championship
lead for the first
time this year.
