After surprising his world in Italy, where Marc Marquez was able to compete for victory despite a bike lacking acceleration, the Honda rider arrives at home with an overall slim deficit of 10 points in the provisional world championship standings.
On a circuit where he has been on the podium 5 times in the last 6 editions, Marc Marquez will therefore be a very serious candidate for at least one of the steps of the podium, if not the highest…
Marc Marquez: “There is nothing like running at home in front of your crowd and your fans club to make you feel good and give you extra motivation, although ultimately you have to try to be professional as usual, and stay focused on the work you are doing.
We'll see how it goes here, and as always we'll work hard on the bike's setup to get the most out of it, an approach that has worked pretty well so far.
I know Honda is working 100% and we will do our best to get another good result in Montmeló.
Then, in the post-race test on Monday, we will see if we are able to find that half-tenth of a second that could help us a lot, as we were able to do last year on the same occasion.”
