Marc Márquez He acknowledged that he managed tires at the beginning of the race, until it happened Pecco Bagnaia. The ilerdense knew that his teammate could not let him escape as he had done with Morbidelli, and that was when he said “now the race begins.” From there, the leader of the MotoGP World He put on the work monkey and squeezed his teeth to return the overtaking to Italian.
Márquez acknowledged that in the race he threw more head than instinct: «I have gone all weekend pulling more head than instinct. Especially since pilot instinct costs me here. I have been introducing things during the weekend at the piloting level, in those fast -wisdom that always cost me a little. In the race, I was convinced yesterday, I had my doubts. If you have set how I have managed at the beginning of the race … I had 10 laps of ahead tire by pulling hard. That is why I have managed, I have let the laps go by … I have seen that Morbidelli was leaving, but I say ‘in the end if we want we will catch it if we want’ because I was using the tire a lot ».
But everything changed when he saw Pecco exceeded him: «When Pecco happened to me, I have said ‘now the race starts’ and that is when I started to espabilar. And the last turns when I have passed to Maverick is when I have hit the pull I had in all training, but always spending a lot of ahead tire that, for that reason, I have been managing the entire race ».
About the cold blood he had when letting Morbidelli go, Marc Márquez He replied: «I was not interested in doing a fast race start. Morbidelli has happened to me because in the first curve, it seems that Álex has given me but I have failed with the gas, he has patinated me, I had to cut and that’s why Alex has given me behind And Morbidelli has taken advantage of it. But I didn’t worry. I was interested in having the group behind and making a slow pace at the beginning, because with a new back tire you push later. Then, degrades the striker.
«I have let the rear tire degrade more and when it has already begun to skate, to have that slip, it is when I felt more comfortable and in the last laps I had that extra in the braking to finish crushing the front tire. It doesn’t always go well. When it seems more difficult, I am more concentrated, I had to save a little or cover Austin’s error with a good career in Qatar. Apart, It was one of the circuits in which Álex and Pecco had marked to attack and we have been able to defend well», Explained Marc Márquez in Dazn
Finally, the MotoGP leader analyzed the touch with his brother Álex In the first curve that made him lose the leadership of the race: «Maybe I would have led the first laps, but I would not have changed at all Neither the rhythm nor the way of piloting. I was here, until night, trying to look at how to pilot. This morning, in the Warm UpI tried, but I was much slower piloting that way. That’s why I have been so fast in the last round of the Warm Upbecause with my style I could go fast, but, in this circuit, the striker degraded a lot. We have been able to save it, manage well. I have not said it during the weekend, because it is not necessary to give clues to the rivals, but we have made a perfect weekend once again ».
