MotoGP, Alex Marquez is disgusted: "It really makes me angry because I could have avoided this crash"

There's a lot of talk about Pecco Bagnaia's two zero points at Le Mans, but Alex Marquez is almost as disgusted as the Italian the day after the French Grand Prix. Indeed, the Gresini driver crashed twice during this incredible race, easily handing the championship lead to his brother Marc. While he arrived in Sarthe leading, he leaves with a 22-point deficit—that's a lot. His anger is understandable.

It was the worst Sunday of his season. He had managed to limit the damage in Losail after colliding with Fabio Di Giannantonio and receiving a long lap. But this time, he was unable to get back in the saddle after the second fall. « It's one of those things you don't expect.The second was completely my mistake. It's true that I was riding a completely broken bike, with bent handlebars, but I could have finished eighth or tenth safely. What really angers me is that it wasn't inevitable.. Besides, there are never any inevitable falls." he asserted for Motosan.

 

 

However, everything started well for the Spaniard. « Rain is a bit of a lottery. I think that given our position in the championship, starting on slicks was actually the right choice. Going with wet weather tires was the best option, but it was too risky. If it hadn't been raining, Zarco, Oliveira and the others wouldn't have scored a single point.nt. » he added, and his analysis holds up.

Moreover, this allowed him to quickly find himself among the best, before experiencing two very damaging falls. « In the end, I found myself on the provisional podium without having made the best decision.I was trying to control those behind; they were about six seconds behind. Everything was pretty much under control. But maybe I got carried away. I didn't arrive faster, but slower, and I released the brakes. That's where I fell » he concluded.
