​Marc Marquez is rightly earning all the plaudits in the world for another momentous MotoGP comeback, but how much are his rivals to blame?The record nine-time world champion has gone from 102 points off the championship lead to just 18 heading into the summer break, and it would be folly to bet against him surpassing rival Valentino Rossi’s joint premier class record this season with his eighth crown in MotoGP.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementYet even Marquez himself admits his rivals deserve as much blame for his resurgence as he deserves credit.Speaking after another win at the German Grand Prix, he said:“Well, I’ve always had a plan, but not this time. Because a plan can only be executed when it depends on you, and this comeback didn’t depend on me this time.””I had to try and do the maths, and win every race. And the guy who was first, even coming in second in every race, still beat me.”Then it was no longer up to me. When a plan is not in your hands, you can’t execute it. I’m simply trying to give my all when it matters.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement”But I’m in this position more because of the mistakes of others than because of myself. I’ve done very well, but I haven’t done anything special.”Most culpable for Marquez’s comeback has been Aprilia’s Marco Bezzecchi. The Italian was a firm title favourite with three wins to open the campaign and another at his home Italian Grand Prix on May 31.Yet since then it’s all been downhill. Taken out by teammate Jorge Martin in Hungary, ‘Bez’ followed up with an exclusion from the Czech Grand Prix for a shocking attack on a track marshal.His composure has now completely disappeared, resulting in a collarbone-breaking crash at the Dutch Grand Prix, which took him out of the race and also the Sachsenring, dropping him to fourth in the championship.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementFurther hammering home the message to Marquez’s rivals, Ducati manager Davide Tardozzi pointed out a painful truth to the rest of the grid:”Obviously, Marc was much better last year. What happened to him in Indonesia, and then the crash at Le Mans, which revealed another underlying problem that we mistakenly believed had been resolved over the winter, all of this greatly affected his start to the championship.”I think Marc is worth much more than the first races he did, and I think he has shown that in the last four. Marc brings added value, and that’s undeniable. I think that at this moment he is regaining confidence with the bike, but his physical condition has to hold up.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“Until his body supports him 100 per cent, we will have a Marc who will not be able to be super competitive like last year.”It hasn’t been all plain sailing for Marquez with crashes and injuries [Photo: Ducati Media House]It hasn’t been all plain sailing for Marquez with crashes and injuries [Photo: Ducati Media House]One person who clearly gets the message is current championship lea
