Marc Marquez: "Inside the box we were running out of ideas"

Although he has Le Mans wins in MotoGP under his belt, the Le Mans stop & go circuit, with its ever-changing and changing climate, has never been one of Marc Márquez’s favorites and between fact that he was chilling and the problems managing Honda. which in turn will affect the whole group despite the fact that for 2022 they have redesigned it, a sixth in 15 ′ ′ from the head will only contribute to it, and luckily they are ahead hard.

“I knew I was going to have problems here at Le Mans. I finished sixth, but without the Suzuki crashes I would have finished ninth, which is far from the leaders. I woke up this morning. I’m not feeling well. I’m sick, I have a cold, but I’m not going to change much, I’m not looking for excuses, “he explained in his press conference at HRC.

“15 seconds again, too long. Maybe 12 if I didn’t relax at the ending, I let myself go, but a lot more seconds. That’s why it’s also easy to accept the situation of the end of the sixth. If I’m more forward, I can take more risks, but since you’re so far away, you don’t have any hesitation in taking more risks. You know that no matter how much risk you take. You can’t get there. We insist, I’m trying improve my riding style; Honda is trying to find a solution.I was the first to say we needed something.There was a team, a bike, engineers … and inside the box we were running out of ideas .We need material to get there and the bike to evolve, “he explained.

He had no hesitation in admitting that he risked what was fair and necessary: ​​In Jerez, I enjoyed because I could fight. It was only here that I ventured on the first lap, to position myself, and then I stayed there. The chance of a collision is high. Sure, if I took a chance but maybe I finished earlier than Zarco (fifth). On Saturday I also said that that would be more or less our position. Without the three crashes that happened in the front, I would have finished in the ninth. “

“I didn’t run well and I couldn’t make that expected click. The only solution would have been to rain, but eventually it stayed dry. This is our career: take a chance on the first few laps, but stay there. It’s really coming. it’s our time. ” “he explained.

“We have to understand a lot of things about the bike and my riding style, because now I don’t ride the way I want. We have to take a step forward, but I also need to because I haven’t ridden properly. I still do. the fastest Honda, but that’s not my goal, ”he admits.
