MotoGP Brno Day 1, Marc Marquez (Ducati/1) had a great time: "I had to manage the risk and I managed it"

Since last Sunday, Marc Marquez has lost none of his brilliance in BrnoThe Spaniard dominated both sessions on the first day, finishing each with a significant gap to the second-place finisher. Johann Zarco, who was very prominent today, was almost half a second behind. The eight-time world champion was satisfied with a Friday in which he managed not to overdo it, despite the changing conditions.

Winner of the last four Grands Prix, Marc Marquez arrives in the Czech Republic as the clear favorite. It's almost a question of who will finish second for some time now, but when a legend speaks, that's the price to pay. « Today was a day where you had to finish in the top 10, but I'm happy because one of my strong points is adapting to the track.. I adapted quickly, but I would have preferred a dry day, because tomorrow could be completely open." he asserted for Sky Sports when getting off his motorcycle.

 

 

Marc Marquez says he is frankly at ease on the legendary Brno track, which suggests he had plenty up his sleeve. « With the few laps in the dry, I realized that it is a track with a lot of grip.. You can attack hard, and the balance of the bike is very precise thanks to this grip. he continued.

 

 

He's happy with his risk management, which has clearly been one of his priorities in recent races. The 2025 Marc Marquez knows how to focus and rides according to the right strategy. « This afternoon, I had to manage the risk and I succeeded.I went out, did a few quick laps, then waited. Before going to the pits, I wanted to set a time to stay in front. Because sometimes it dries, there is less water, but we drive less quickly » he concluded.
