Marc Marquez was one of the five protagonists of the French GP’s official press conference and made sure he would not change the mentality he had adopted since the championship entered its European stage from the Portimao date: “See Friday how the bike works, on Saturday try to improve it and, on Sunday, go out and give everything, but the important thing in our case is to start without a clear purpose ”.
The Repsol Honda rider stressed that in the last race in Jerez, where he recorded his best result of the year, fourth, “we took the lead in performance and we got close to the top riders and then, in the tests on Monday ., we’ve seen some things work and some things don’t, not bad, but hopefully it will help us get closer, even if it’s not enough to fight to win. “
“The test sensations are good, but … like any driver and structure you always want more. And you always expect more and even the engineers always want more. Things are tried. Some work; others, as happens with all trials, they don’t work as expected. You have to keep insisting and progress will be the key “.
Márquez said he has no predilections when it comes to talking about weather conditionsalways protagonists in this area of France, -according to forecasts for La Sarthe, dry and hot for Friday and Saturday and rainy and hot for Sunday- and ensured that “it is impossible to predict the conditions, but in my current Situation I don’t really care if it’s dry or wet, it’s true that in the wet the chance of winning or falling increases, but now I’m focused on finding the best sensations, although in the wet, if you have a good sensation., Everything comes out more easily, but ultimately My job is nothing but to try to be as far away as possible regardless of the track conditions. ”
“When I say ‘in my current state’ it’s generally, not just my arm, at one point or another. It’s a state of confidence in the bike, physical condition, in the results we’ve achieved in recent career, with progressing, but it’s true that little steps are lacking, push if we want to start fighting for podium positions. I’m not saying win, but podium positions. Let’s see if we try to take that little step “, he stressed.
Regarding his new personal and sporting situation, living in Madrid, the Cervera man stressed that “of course, balance must be found and that is why when I moved to Madrid I did it to control the pain and less suffering, and we have achieved that, but now the second goal is not only to recover the shoulder, but also the arm, and adjust my riding style so that the shoulder does not suffer, but at the moment it is you can see that I don’t ride like before, we are trying to reach a high level with this new style and it is true that last year we did it in some races ”.
Regarding the tire pressure controversy that arose after the race in Jerez with Italian Pecco Bagnaia, winner at the time, he said he agreed with him when he said that “lower front tire pressure does not translate to a better result., perhaps sometimes it is even worse, but also as Aleix -Espargaró- says, with the new aerodynamics it is more difficult to overtake and drive and the choice of tire pressure becomes more critical, because you have a ‘ground effect’ on the turn at the front end, and that behavior has nothing to do with tire pressure ”.
Goodbye Suzuki Marc has expressed that “it is bad news for the championship. It is bad news that a factory left because the more factory there are, more motorcycles, more seats and it is much better for entertainment, but it is clear that this is yayanig ng the market is small because there are two great riders, Suzuki is a good project that has worked hard and evolved a lot.It also means that there are talented engineers and mechanics there.It will turn the paddock in general to look for places” .
He also couldn’t avoid the question about Joan Mir as a candidate to ride the second bike in the Repsol Honda box: “Logically, Mir is a great rider, he’s the MotoGP world champion. Rins is a great rider. .Pol, too, but I know Honda will always look to have the best structure overall.I have a contract.It’s not my teammate’s decision, nor do I want to get involved in it.I know Honda will try to find. they believe it is best to have a competitive team and reach the goal, that if one does not win, let the other win. In either team the dream is this: that both riders are ahead “.
