Marc Marquez did not perform miracles on this Saturday which marked the second of three days of this Aragon Grand Prix, but he still did well and he learned a lot. He crashed, destroying his best bike and thus hindering his potential to enter directly into Q2. Q1 was a trap from which he did not escape by a handful of thousandths. He will therefore start 13th with the idea of doing the best he can, which, coming from him, is always a warning to his opponents. There remains this satisfaction: his right arm is holding up...
And that's the best news Marc Marquez reports from this Saturday in Aragon. To enjoy it, he had to fall. So, in all things, misfortune is good. He says thus: “ falling, it’s part of the job, it can happen. The important thing is that when I fell, I wasn't afraid to use my right arm to protect myself. It was instinctive, but that means the head knows it can do that, that didn't happen to me before ". We will therefore take this as a very good sign which further highlights his accelerated recovery.

Otherwise, he remains with his feet on the ground when he is not rolling in the gravel to test its resistance... He comments in fact: “ we are back on the ground of reality. In FP3 the problems started. Like Friday morning, I didn't feel well this morning either. I tried big changes on the Honda, then crashed with the better bike. The replacement didn't behave as I expected. As a result, I was unable to improve my times in FP3 ».
He recalls that, in this competition, you need good dynamics to allow the planets to align… And there, it is his experience that speaks: “ It always works like this: when you're fast, you're lucky and when you're not, you're unlucky. Today I didn't have the speed of the best ". Tomorrow is a Grand Prix 23 consecutive rounds awaiting him, and it will be another important step in his convalescence: “ I don't have a goal for the race, it's just about seeing what we can do and how the body reacts after 23 laps. I can not wait to be there ! » he finishes.
