Austrian MotoGP GP – Marquez (2nd): "Dovizioso deserved this victory"
In delicacy with his tires, Marc Marquez did not succeed despite his repeated attacks to gain the advantage on an irreproachable Dovizioso during the entire Austrian MotoGP GP. A handsome player, the HRC official salutes the driving skills of the Italian … who is approaching him in the general classification !
"I would not have slept well last night if I had not tried this attack for the victory in the last corner, but it was not possible", admits the hot reigning world champion, who did not pass away from pushing Dovi – and himself! – in the gravel in this ultimate maneuver for the 25 points of first place…
"Dovi had a little something extra"
Marquez must therefore "be satisfied" with the 20 points of his second position, which keep him at the head of the championship but with only 16 lengths ahead of Dovizioso. "Today Dovi had a little something extra and it was difficult to overtake him. I did my best the whole race and lost the rear several times", continues the Honda rider..

"It was a good battle and Dovi deserved this victory because he drove very well", admits the Spaniard who is nevertheless satisfied with his second place. "I’m very happy to take 20 points on this circuit where I had a lot of trouble last year" (after one, Editor’s note).
"This is an important result for the championship. We are progressing well, little by little we have found a good base which allows us to be in this position and to be consistent in all circumstances. Today I was able to try this maneuver at the end because I felt good on the bike. It will be important to continue like this and try to be on the podium in each race ".
