Spanish GP – Marquez (2nd): Even the hardest tire was too soft for me
Impossible for Marc Marquez to find his teammate Dani Pedrosa, literally untouchable this weekend. The reigning world champion still offers a nice second place and is third in the championship, just 2 points from Viñales and 4 points from Rossi.
Marc Marquez, Honda-Repsol (2nd in qualifying and 2nd in race): "I am happy with this second place in Jerez, a circuit which is not one of my favorites. I was able to be competitive and fight at the highest level all the time. weekend is very positive. Today Dani was really fast, he was fast all weekend, both wet and dry. I got closer in every session, but it was difficult to keep his rhythm ", admits the n ° 93, handsome player.
"Today I tried to attack, to put pressure on him, but even before the race I knew Dani was going to be very strong here. He is also very good when it’s very hot like today, but for me the front tire is too soft. I had chosen the harder option, but even that was too soft for me. I tried to face the whole race while attacking and at the end I got scared a few times so I looked at where Valentino and Viñales were and I was like “Okay, second is good!” I’m very happy to be just 4 points behind the leader and to be back in the fight for the championship. The rankings are very close and it will be very interesting. We must continue to work as we have done so far. I dedicate this good result to my mother because today it is is Mother’s Day (in Spain, Editor’s note) ".
Marquez is indeed taking advantage of this second place – and the disappointing 6th and 10th places of and! – to relaunch the championship, with only. But the season has only just begun and there is no doubt that it will be necessary to reckon with the No.93 !
