I feel this one painfully well. Back in the day you talked to the bike through your fingertips and your seat of the pants, wrestling it back from the brink of a highside—that rawness was what riding was all about. The smarter the electronics get, the faster you go, but the room for a rider's 'wildness' to show through keeps shrinking. When a talent as huge as Márquez calls it a robot, that's saying something. I heard it with a little bit of sadness, honestly.
