Marc Marquez said it: he will not be crowned in Japan !
No rush, therefore on the program for the Honda driver, especially as he approaches a Grand Prix that he has never won in the premier category. Indeed, if he did reach the highest step of the podium, it was in 2010 in 125cc then in 2012 in Moto2. In MotoGP, he achieved two 2nd places in 2013 and 2014, while last year saw him finish 4th, 27 seconds behind his teammate winner. Caution, therefore, seems to be the watchword for #93…
Marc Marquez : “The triplet always marks a demanding period in the season because there are three consecutive races in different conditions and time zones. We must therefore treat them calmly and with the same mentality we have kept throughout this season. The Japanese Grand Prix is an important event for us since it is the home race for Honda and the one where we have great memories, since we won the title there in 2014. On the other hand, it is a circuit which has always been a bit stimulating for us. If for example, Aragon was a track that I won by attacking, Motegi is the one on which I usually give up as few points as possible. That said, we will approach it with an open mentality, aiming for the best possible outcome but ready to adapt to circumstances. »
