Marc Marquez arrives well Indonesian Grand Prix. The eight-time world champion faces this test in his best timeor the season in terms of results. Marc had a fantastic third place last weekend in Misano despite losing third place in the World Drivers’ Championship to Enea Bastianini.
Márquez qualified for Q2 during practice this Friday morning even though he acknowledges that the Mandalika circuit He is not one of those who are the best in this field to the Cervera pilot. Nevertheless, Marc’s level in recent weeks suggests that he can sign a great result during the first test of the Asian tour.
“We have been coming for two years and it took me two years. I was hoping that with the Ducati it would cost me a little less but It’s not the most favorable. Despite everything, I felt pretty good and it was the new tire that cost me the most. With a used tire I feel more comfortable. Let’s see if tomorrow we can improve it” Márquez admitted to the microphones of ‘DAZN’.
Marc is aware of why this circuit is so difficult for him: “There are few curves on the left. That’s where I normally recover and there’s very little.”
Despite his negative omens, the man from Cervera achieved a good time during free practice and left a nice gesture with ‘Pecco’ Bagnaia who had stayed out of gas at the end of the session. Marc ended up towing the one who will be his teammate in 2025.
