Do as I say, not as I do! This could be the policy of a flamboyant Marc Marquez in MotoGP who advises his brother Álex, in Moto2, to play more grocers than panache in this last part of the season. At stake is the second world title for the 23-year-old who has a 38-point lead in his championship before this weekend's Thai Grand Prix...
A contested category which has already seen twists and turns. First dominated by Baldassarri, the title race then went to Tom Luthi before a third thief declares himself with a succession of victories, in this case Augusto Fernandez. But he also regrets an erratic pace while the driver Marc VDS Alex Marquez is just as regular as it is efficient.
In fact, here is the advice given by Marc to Álex: “ be focused and patient. One race is not the end of the war and the championship ", said the Honda official. “ Álex has a head start, so the ones who can't make a mistake are the rest. He must be relaxed. The first objective is to rank ahead of your opponents. But the second objective would be to get closer. It's others who have to take risks. »
álex adds, ensuring that he understood the message: “ I'm not going to try everything to win. I have to run my errand. The first goal for me is to finish the race he pointed out. " If I have the chance to fight for victory, I will definitely try. I will try to do my best in each race.».
« The season is still long. If we want to win this title, we will take the races one after the other and try to get as many points as possible in each race » assures the one who was titled in 2014 in the Moto3 category.
« I only focus on myself. Everyone in this championship has a lot of ups and downs and I'm happy because we are fighting for the podium every time since Argentina. This consistency helps us. We have to keep level and try to be strong in all conditions. Then we'll see. The season has been very good so far. Now we must keep moving forward " concluded Alex Marquez.
