Barely got off his official Honda RC213V after winning the Australian MotoGP Grand Prix, Marc Márquez confided in front of the site camera MotoGP.com with the satisfaction of not having given up until the last lap…
We report his comments here without any formatting.
Marc, tell us how you managed the race: was there one moment more difficult than the others?
Marc Márquez : “The most difficult moment was when Viñales started to attack very hard up front. This was the most critical for me, but I knew that if I didn't give up during these four or five laps, victory would be possible. Other than that, it's been a crazy weekend - a normal weekend here in Phillip Island with rain, cold, wind and changeable conditions. But OK, the whole Repsol Honda team did a great job, it was incredible! We took a gamble because we took the soft rear tire, and in the end it was completely destroyed, but OK, we were able to win the race. »
Don't forget the trophy! 😂
