The strength of the 2016 Marc Marquez is knowing how to be satisfied with a third or fourth place, something inconceivable until last year.
However, he spares no effort during the tests and his numerous falls bear witness to this.
In these conditions, his lead of 43 points in the championship over Valentino Rossi provides him with peace of mind for the moment which allows him to approach each race with a measured objective.
Marc Marquez: “Aragon is a circuit that I like more than Misano and I think it suits my driving style better. That said, it is also true that a particularity of this year is that things can change a lot from race to race, so we will see if we can manage things well and if we can have a good weekend. We approach the race ready to adapt to the situation we encounter, but of course we will try again to fight for the podium in front of my home crowd and my fan club. »
