Marc Márquez He approached the Portuguese GP with the confidence he had gained from the previous round in Austin and was also physically better. In addition, the rain prediction will clearly play in your favor in this matter. Friday and Saturday the forecast is for rain and, in principle, dry for Sunday.
“Austin was great, we regained confidence and we approached the weekend in a solid way, it’s true I was left wanting more and finishing sixth was good, but we were looking for more. We had problems at the start and “The important thing is that Honda has found the problem and solved it for the future. Now it’s time to think about this weekend”, he explained at the official press conference.
Logically, the technical problem of leaving Austin was one of the issues raised, but Marc refused to give up. “I’m sorry, because I can’t say what happened to the bike. I don’t know if Honda will say it, but I can’t. It’s something that hasn’t happened to me in ten years, but it has been now, when I need more help, when It has happened.I told the team that if we don’t have it for ten years, we can’t avoid it, but we need to continue working here in Portimao and they haven’t complained to me, always they are smiling and we are all working in the same direction ”, he said.
Regarding Portimao, he assured that “I like the track, with all the level changes and potholes, different and weird curves where you have to flow, but last year I had some trouble understanding and I remember Miguel Oliveira telling me last year. He explained to me that you have to flow and if you can find that, it’s easier, but if you fight on the bike, everything is against you. shortest and narrowest European “
How he will deal with the weekend acknowledges that “it’s true that one thing is the approach on Thursday and another on the rest of the day. I’ll have the same approach as Austin in Portimao, but if I start on the first lap and I feel good, my instinct is the attack.from the beginning like in Austin.Push and attack are in my DNA.In Austin, I control myself to live physically and that helped me in the career.Here I feel relieved and in the rain it will be possible to accept things more calmly “
“This season, my best position is fifth and so far I can’t imagine going from the top-5 to win a race, there are intermediate steps.although in all the unpredictable MotoGP, you have to wait for training to start to figure out what situation you are in. ”
At the time of questioning the young pilots asked him about how he motivates himself. “When everything is fine and you win and you see yourself on the podium, it’s easy for you to find motivation and you seem to have double the energy in your body. Otherwise, it’s harder. . You have to tell yourself you have to get up to train. What I do is try to remember the positive moments to try to bring them back in the future. “
