If we talk about motorcycles this 2022, Mallorca occupies a preferential place on its own merits. It would be necessary to search the newspaper archives to find, if there are any, when two riders from the same territory win two of the three displacements of the World Championship in the same season. This is what Izan Guevara has achieved fifteen days ago in Moto 3 and, this Sunday, Augusto Fernandez in Moto2. Simply amazing. Some expert in paranormal phenomena should explain why so many champions emerge from a territory of only 3,640 square meters, in tennis, sailing, motorcycling and other disciplines.
Augusto Fernandez
He deserves this title more than anyone. First, because of its simplicity, its naturalness. Since yesterday at one in the afternoon he is world champion, but let no one doubt that success will not go to your head to this motorcyclist born by chance in Madrid, but as Mallorcan as anyone else, no matter how much the president of the community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, congratulated the one from Sencelles, in the case of this lady it is assumed that she was born in Madrid. Humble, simple, natural in victories and in bad timesall those who have dealt with him they speak wonders of this atypical athlete, who collapsed before the microphones because only he knows what he has had to suffer to reach the top. The last three years, since 2019, have been very hard for a rider who did not get results, that nothing he tried came out. Someone else would have thrown in the towel, but not Augusto, who is not someone who gives up at the first opportunity. The islander has put the icing on the cake of a stratospheric course for the Majorcan pilots in a World Cup to remember. In two years, motorcycling Mallorca has touched the sky, because Joan Mir’s title in MotoGP is not that far away. Practically yesterday.
Javier Aguirre’s Mallorca, or is it more correct to say Muriqi’s Mallorca?, gave a lesson in the Ciutat de València

The seal of Mallorca in the capital of the Turia was not limited to the world of motorcycles. Javier Aguirre’s Mallorca, or is it more correct to say Muriqi’s Mallorca?, offered a lesson in practicality at the Ciutat de València against a Villarreal who he unhinged with the passing of the minutes. The red team showed that with only 29 percent possession you can beat a rival who caresses and caresses the ball to the point of desperation. Mallorca once again demonstrated that, especially away from the island, he knows what he plays. Without the obligation of having to control the game, trusts everything to his great defense and the effectiveness of Muriqi, author of seven goals in eleven games, the best average of the major European leagues. Amath deserves a special mention, who four minutes after entering the field of play scored a goal that is shown on television in the summaries of the end of the season. The Senegalese has returned with force and the team benefits. Sixteen points in thirteen days is an excellent loot. But it would be a mistake to fall into false euphoria in the most atypical season in history, with a break of a month and a half for the World Cup in Qatar.
Speaking of Qatar
The Bundesliga stadiums have shone this weekend banners demanding the boycott of the World Cup event which begins on the 20th. Let the example spread.
