Yamaha has been the standout manufacturer of 2021 so far, with factory team riders Fabio Quartararo and Maverick Vinales winning the first three races of the season between them.
In contrast, Ducati’s start to the campaign was rather overwhelming, although Franceso Bagnaia took second place in the drivers’ standings, ahead of Vinales and Pramac’s Johann Zarco.
Suzuki’s top speed deficit was evident in Qatar, but the Japanese brand seemed much stronger next time in Portugal. Alex Rins finished second before his fall and teammate Joan Mir finished third.
Honda’s prospects were improved with the return of Marc Marquez after a long injury-related hiatus, with the Spaniard leading the RC213V contingent at Portimao.
How Marquez performs in Jerez, the site of the crash that excluded him from the entire 2020 season, will be one of the biggest talking points this weekend.
