Vídeo: nuevo récord de velocidad máxima en MotoGP: ¡362,4 km/h!

El piloto francés ya había rodado por encima del récord oficial de velocidad máxima en MotoGP durante los test de pretemporada, cuando alcanzó los 357,6 km/h. Sin embargo, este registro no se anotó en los libros de estadísticas por no hacerse durante un gran premio.

Por lo tanto, antes de empezar la temporada 2021, se mantenía el récord de velocidad punta que estableció Andrea Dovizioso cuando alcanzó los 356,7 km/h durante el FP2 del Gran Premio de Italia 2019 celebrado en Mugello.

Los pilotos de MotoGP no dudaban de que este récord iba a caer este fin de semana después de los visto durante los test, donde no encuentran tantos rebufos como en un gran premio.

La recta de 1068 metros del Circuito de Losail ha sido el aliado perfecto para que Ducati despliegue toda la potencia de su motor y rompa por primera vez la barrera de los 360 km/h en MotoGP.

Concretamente Johann Zarco alcanzó los 362,4 km/h con la Desmosedici al inicio del FP4. El francés se benefició de la estela de la Ducati de Enea Bastianini, a quien adelantó al final de la recta de Losail. Sin embargo, el piloto del Pramac no pudo controlar la moto en la frenada y acabó en la escapatoria de grava.

No sería de extrañar que esta cifra se supere de nuevo durante la clasificación o la carrera de MotoGP en Qatar este domingo donde, aunque los equipos puede que bajen algo la potencia para cumplir con el consumo de combustible, los rebufos que encontrarán podrían favorecer un nuevo récord. 

Aún más probable es que se supere el registro de Zarco cuando MotoGP visite Mugello esta temporada, ya que allí se habían establecido los últimos récords.

En F1, el récord de velocidad punta lo fijó Valtteri Bottas en 378 km/h en el circuito urbano de Bakú durante el Gran Premio de Europa de 2016 con el Williams, donde en la interminable recta de más de 2 kilómetros aprovechó el rebufo de Max Verstappen.
