Marc Marquez He finished eighth in Friday practice. Even if the sensations were not good, this time he managed to enter the top 10 to go directly to Q2, something he had not achieved during the first race in Montmeló in May. However, he assured that his feelings would not change even by changing the GP date. Even though we got into Q2, it wasn’t a good day for 93.
“Of course, and this has happened to me in other Grands Prix, fortunately I was able to pass in front and I had the train behind. Today When Pecco left, on the first tire we were a little train behind him and in the second too. It’s normal, I earned my living and as always on this circuit I have to suffer. Even changing the date of this race doesn’t change my feelings. “We will have to attack a little harder,” began Marc Márquez when speaking about the start behind the wheel of Pecco Bagnaia.
In the second part, he lost half a second to Bagnaia, but he assured that they already knew the reason, even if he did not want to reveal it to journalists: “In the last part I lost a lot, but there is an explanation. I’m not going to tell you, I’m sorry, but we know what happened in this second part of the circuit and we’ll see if I can improve it tomorrow.
“My brother has always been very fast on this circuit. He performed very well in some races. In Malaysia he finished fourth and fourth, here he is doing very well. Bezzecchi goes very quickly in very particular circumstances and in this Grand Prix, when it is cold, when there is little grip at the rear, he manages to go very quickly. It’s also one of the references for me. Logically, with those who have the same motorcycle, we can compare in a much more precise way,” he explained.
“Martín can only lose”
Regarding how he saw Jorge Martín and Pecco Bagnaia, the two who are playing for the title, the eight-time world champion said that he saw “a Jorge Martín doing his joblooking for the limits in training, that’s what you have to do, ride well, try everything you need to try to have no doubts on Sunday. I think that He was the only driver to have tested all the tires. I saw it clearly. On the other hand, I saw a very strong Peccodoing what he has to do, taking risks, riding fast and leading sessions, that’s what he did.
“The experience I have from my first World Cup in 2013 is that whoever has the advantage, whoever is in front, especially with the one he has Martín, he can only lose. Logically, there is more pressure but you have to manage it. In 2013 I was 20 years old, newly arrived in MotoGP and I was fighting against Jorge Lorenzo, already titled and having won two or three world titles, so Jorge can handle it very well. “He has experience in MotoGP and in top races, he has made mistakes and he will surely learn from them,” added Marc Márquez.
“Trying parts on a circuit that is difficult for you is positive”
When asked if this uncertainty due to bad feelings could affect Tuesday’s test, Marc replied: “For me Trying parts, a new bike, on a circuit that is difficult for you and one of the worst, it’s positivefor thus you will notice more the difference, if there be one, better or worse. When you try new parts or bikes on a track that suits you very well or you are able to go fast, you can get fooled by the sensations.
“For me it’s positive to test here, even if I have more fun on other circuits and this is one of the least. But it’s a simple job and you have to use that perseverance to work and turn things around, which already happened at the other Grand Prix here. He came out on the 14th on the grid, As very bad I will release the 12th here, it’s better, it’s positive. Then, in the race, let’s see if we can be in the top five,” he concluded.
