In the Marquez family, we definitely know that you have to know how to suffer when you are a motorcycle rider. While we no longer present the fortunes and misfortunes of a Marc who remains close to injuries and the infirmary, since once again forfeits for this fourth round of the championship which is the Spanish Grand Prix of this weekend, his younger brother Alex is also not in great shape when it comes time to tackle the Jerez track. The proof…
Alex Marquez has probably never had a better motorcycle to participate in its National Grand Prix in Jerez, but unfortunately, he did not show up for the deadline in good physical condition. The fault of this last accident in Austin where he was the collateral victim of George Martin. If he recovered from it, and if he was declared fit, that does not mean that he is in great shape.
During the press conference, the pilot Gresini Ducati commented : " It's a dream for Spanish drivers to win on this track. In Moto2 it was special, and it will be even more so in MotoGP. But that's not our goal : we must take another step towards this goal ».
Alex Marquez: “ I was scared in Austin, I hit the wall »
And all the more so since he adds: “ I feel good, I'm not at 100% but at 95: I was scared in Austin, I hit the wall. I have a small fracture and a ligament problem. In short, we'll try, we'll see ". On his objectives, he specifies: “ the track is different from the previous ones, but you have to start again after the double zero in Austin. It's important to take points to move up. I'm happy with the bike and happy with the team. I will try to do my best ».
« With Pecco so fast, it's difficult for me to be able to win. We had a chance but we lost it. I still can't ride like Pecco : I need to learn to manage the bike better, especially when braking ". He finishes : " will Yamaha have problems overtaking? I don't think it's just a problem with the M1. In this MotoGP it's not so easy to overtake. In the Sprint too, I see, you have to take risks and maybe make mistakes ».
