With only four Grands Prix remaining, Marquez leads the World Championship with 16 points ahead of Andrea Dovizioso and 28 over Maverick Vinales. Rafa Paya interviewed him for AS, starting by asking him if it was an advantage to currently occupy first place.
According to Marc, who are " There is no doubt in my mind that it is always better to be a leader. If it can be from the first race, even better. In the end you have a small mattress, a small margin for error and you are more comfortable, or at least I see it that way personally. If you are behind, you have no room for error. »
Now come the three consecutive races with complicated climates. Prepared ?
“Yes, for the tour we are facing we are preparing physically but now also saving a little energy, because it is important to recharge the batteries well. These are three consecutive meetings with time changes which are exhausting, but we already want to be there and see if we can maintain the advantage. »
Of the three Asian Grands Prix, which circuit do you like the least?
“Until last year, I would have said that the one I liked the least was Japan, but I behaved well there, I found myself comfortable there, I was fast from the start and I managed to win the race and the title. »
“The key is to see all rivals the same. Don't just look at the two you're playing with. You can have a Lorenzo in Japan who goes fast and the Ducati goes well, and he can win the race. You can't control one or two pilots. If you can score points, go for it because you don't know what will happen next. »
