Yesterday, anyone that watched MotoGP saw Marc Marquez take his 11th consecutive win at the Sachsenring in Germany. It came 581 days after his last MotoGP win, 336 days after his career-threatening arm injury. But he did it. And the Repsol Honda rider has now stood on the podium 96 times in MotoGP, after winning on no less than 57 of those occasions. It?s an impressive record, I?m sure you?ll all agree. But does this one win mean the MM93 of old is back to stay, and he?ll go back to winning races left, right and centre, like he was doing a couple or three years ago. Or was his Sachsenring success simply a flash in the pan"

I?ve read a few things about how the ?SachsenKing? is back, and seen plenty of people suggesting that now Marc Marquez has regained his strength and confidence on a MotoGP bike, we can look forward to him romping off in the lead again, winning race after race. Maybe that?s what?s going to happen; there?s no denying the lad has got an insane amount of skillz on a bike. The argument that, now he?s got his first win under his belt (after the accident) he?ll carry on doing it, isn?t a ludicrous one. And it?s a fair assumption that, under there somewhere, is still a Marc Marquez that?s head and shoulders faster than anyone else? because a few years ago he was.
I?m convinced Marquez will win some more races this year. And next year, and the year after that. But will he be the force that he once was" If...
