Álex Márquez was little affected by his remaining injuries this Friday in Germany, and can aim for a good result in the race.
Slowly but surely, Alex Marquez is recovering from his various injuries. Although he returned to the Czech Republic Grand Prix a month after his violent accident in Catalonia, he ultimately withdrew after qualifying, before competing in his first full weekend in the Netherlands 15 days ago.
Having suffered another fall on Friday, he had to deal with significant bruises and burns, and had managed a heroic fifth place in the race on Sunday, when he thought he would have to give up ten laps from the finish.
With two additional weeks of recovery, the Spanish rider has made a good recovery, but is not yet back to his peak form. He keeps this goal in mind for his return from the summer break in a month and is doing his best this weekend for the final Grand Prix of this first part of the season. Before that, He will compete in Sunday's race with a special livery.
From FP1 onwards, Márquez He was on pace, finishing just a tenth of a second off the fastest time in sixth position, before taking fourth place in Practice. Although he finished three tenths of a second behind the leader, who is none other than his brother, he seems in contention for a good grid position tomorrow despite his lack of strength.
“We got off to a good start, and I felt comfortable right from the beginning. It’s true that I’m still struggling a bit physically with some quick changes of direction, but it’s mainly a lack of strength. Compared to Assen, this circuit is clearly more favorable to the riders. Overall, Friday was very encouraging and gives us confidence for what could be a positive weekend.”, did he declare.
“We need a good result and to continue finding our rhythm. I’m not yet at 100% here, but I will be after the summer break. The goal is to rediscover the feeling I had in Jerez and Barcelona, regardless of the results.”
