Marc Márquez finished third on his first day of an Italian Grand Prix where the major event on the track remains, on this Friday, the violent fall of a Michele Pirro from which we await reassuring news. An accident at nearly 350 km/h which logically interrupted the proceedings for a moment with the raising of a red flag. Suddenly, the atmosphere became heavier on the Tuscan site. Marc Márquez remembers his fall in 2013 at 338 km/h and recognizes that this accident was a memorable moment in the minds of the drivers.
Regarding this accident, the six-time winner comments: “ I haven't seen the crash yet but it was a difficult moment for all the drivers. We anxiously awaited the first news about Michele's condition. Everyone knows how fast this part of the circuit is. We all hope he recovers quickly. I also fell here at over 300 km/h, but I was very lucky ».
He pursues : " I will watch and study this fall, because we must face reality. And the reality is that one of our own fell in a dangerous place. I want to know what happened there, as I always want to know the reasons for a fall. This allows you to learn and learn from it to avoid the same mistakes.s. "
« Of course, we will talk about it to the safety commission and it would be better if this part of the route was flat. We're going faster and faster, the wings allow us to pass more quickly, but the rear of the bike is also more nervous. But all that is in the hands of the pilot. Managing risks is our job and our job is dangerous ».
So don't count on him to throw stones at the Mugello route. Tomorrow, he will take back the collar, like all the others of his colleagues.
