If there is a driver who can calmly take up residence on the Mugello track which will host this weekend the Italian Grand Prix, it's good Marc Márquez. The Honda official is in fact 36 points ahead of his closest pursuer in the championship who is undoubtedly the least formidable of his opponents in the quest for the title. Maverick Viñales, in fact, knows and regrets his situation on the Yamaha. During this time, Andrea Dovizioso on the Ducati which will play at home is 49 lengths away. The pressure is on his side. But for all that, Dani Pedrosa's teammate keeps a cool head...
Marc Márquez has triumphed three times in Italy to which must be added a podium. Suffice it to say that he loves Mugello and he is all the more impatient for this sixth round of the season as he remembers his excellent tests carried out a few weeks earlier. Even if they were also marked by a violent fall.
After three victories in a row, he could easily see himself securing a fourth. But he is careful not to be arrogant: “ It's a good thing to arrive at Mugello with so many points ahead in the general classification. However, we are only at the start of the championship and it remains close. You have to keep your feet on the ground. Our tests in Tuscany went well. We were there fast and consistent. But we will have to wait and see how we can work for the race ».
« As always, we will have to concentrate on the tires, the settings and the temperatures. Because it will undoubtedly be hotter than during the tests. We will have to stay focused, endure the weak moments as best we can and exploit the strong moments as necessary. ».
